Why isn’t Poyner on the big club again? He should be here tommorrow and Hembree should find a mystery DL stint or a DFA stint.

Can we criticize Vazquez on defense yet or is he still considered "elite"? Yuck.

Bobby Poyner is a strike throwing machine roting in AAA

That wild pitch should have been caught, Cora needs to protect his players, he is not. You can not let the bases get full, the same scenario happened, yet everyone has already forgotten. Look Cora isn't looking good, but if you're coming in and completely blowing up the box score with no performance, then it's on the players at some point. History just keeps repeating. Yes, players do need to step up, but the players need to be put into a situation that benefits the team. No relief pitcher likes going in with 2 or 3 men on base (happened with Kimbrel too). It can change everything. Kelly is fine, Barnes is fine... Cora is still learning, he will figure it out.

The Sox should start Swihart tomorrow. I'm sorry Vazquez isn't a good ballplayer this year.

Vazquez stinks. Honestly between the three catchers, he's the one I want gone.

Can Beni hit a shallow fly into the stands in right field?

The Sox need you to perform Kimbrel. No homeruns tonight.

Okay, Kimbrel's got his sterile lab conditions to work in, he should be fine.

It didn't make sense for Cora not to have Velazquez come in after Rodriguez.

Why isn’t Poyner on the big club again? He should be here tommorrow and Hembree should find a mystery DL stint or a DFA stint. This is an absolute must happen in my mind.
