Reyes, Valdez, Dalbec, Hamilton, and for the most part, Rafaela are dead bats right now - for most, for the entire season start. Duran is in a pretty deep slump. Going to be hard to win lots of games with this. The number of solo homers is due to this - very little base traffic. Would prefer a goodbye for Joely as well. just a thought, could try playing one of our better hitters who's been on the bench for the last week

...then there are the 24 errors in 27 games. Gotta keep telling myself "it's a bridge year. it's a work in progress. those injuries" to reset my expectations.

Anyone else see Devers flexing his shoulder in the on-deck circle?

It's amazing how this offense can just go comatose at any point.

I love watching Refsnyder's at bat: Patient, sound, doesn't expand. A real treat

Duran’s definitely starting to make a little noise on the concern meter.

So happy to see Kelly pitching well.

I imagine the first solution here is to give Duran a day off, but when your original Gold Glove caliber CF is now playing SS, and your #2 on the CF depth chart Duran has playing very well defensively it’s hard to sit him.

Honestly, how does Bobby hit anything at AAA? It just seems Impossible

This team rarely tries to use the big part of the field when hitting during a slump. It seems like they press more and try to pull everything. The hitting coach has replaced Dave Bush on my hate list.

Duran:
93rd percentile in OAA
4th in DRS among OF
A defense first CF like we all expected 😁
(But yeah hopefully he can make some tweaks at the plate)

Are we at the cruelty range yet for Bobby D? He must be completely broken. Please - send him back to Woo.

plenty of decent first baseman options out there and we're just doing this

I mean again I hope he proves me wrong but you could see this coming from a mile away based on his 2023 BABIP

Bright spot, Kelly's strikes pretty much hit the target every time. He had pinpoint control tonight.

Here’s hoping Breslow is having a couple drinks with old Cubs buddies tonight and lands Garrett Cooper for the game tomorrow (or at least for once the series ends as I imagine they might not want to help their immediate competition)

Strange but true - only the White Sox and Marlins have worse home records than the Red Sox.

It is just so weird to see a Red Sox team pitching great but hitting poorly - much of my decades watching them it was the opposite.

Manifesting that a few days from now they will replace three of the worst hitters currently active in MLB (Reyes, Dalbec, Valdez) in the lineup with Cooper, Grissom and Yoshida. The lineup would feel so much better
