What happened to Verdugo? He has an xwOBA of .360, higher than Mookie Betts'. The Red Sox hitters have failed in a plethora of ways, but in his case it's just sheer bad luck. Stats has a video compilation of ~2500 line drives he’s hit that have found gloves

What happened to Verdugo *physically* though? I didn't watch the game yesterday, but the gamecast said he was replaced by Dalbec due to a foot injury. Is he okay?

What happened to the 30-60 page game threads? There used to be series threads that approached 100 pages.... even passed 100 pages in some NYY series. Sad Bruins and Celtics are playing game 7s.

Semien has had two seasons in his career where he was better than a league average hitter, by OAA he's had one above-average season on defense, and he's 31. How he parlayed that profile into a $175 million contract I will never understand. The Rangers GM is stupid….that’s how! These GMs need restraint. He needs to take lessons from Bloom. Yeah, throw lots of money at a shortstop, tell him to play 2B, and watch him flourish.

Nothing. This is who he is . I was yelled at all Winter for saying as much. He’s a big disappointment. Lol @ thinking he’s a .216/.260/.333 guy. Just a flat out silly statement. Doing a victory lap a month into the season after an unlucky stretch and saying he’s a .590 OPS guy is peak benzinger I wish the Sox were like you because you’re in midseason form! Cooking with gas! You’re right. He’s definitely better than THIS. I can’t imagine that he’s a negative WAR player at the end of the day. He’s just not what we thought he was. He was supposed to be a borderline all-star by now.

Too much negativity The Red Sox are 12 games behind the Yankees and it’s not even the middle of May. They are looking up at the Baltimore Friggin’ Orioles!! Are you sure “negativity” is the issue? If it IS the issue, are you sure it’s unwarranted?

I was just wondering why Verdugo left the game. He looks fine at the plate to me.

If it IS the issue, are you sure itâs unwarranted? Winning brings excitement. Losing does not. Add in games 7, and a very boring Sox team. That is a recipe for disappointment and a slow down in posting. I am guessing that we are all still watching the games and hoping for better. Winning and/or making changes that can make the team better will gives us something more to talk about than our disappointments, so far, with Story, Verdugo, Bobby, Vasquez, Sale, Kiké, Barnes, JBJ, Bloom and John Henry.

sadly i think the thread would've been more active had they been losing to the rangers 7-1 rather than winning.

Three run Johnson for Raffy, I’m digging this. We need to schedule the Rangers more.

Sox have had totally different approach in Texas. So much more patient. They look more like last year.

Is this Millar in the booth with DOB? Yes. He’s been fair. I like Youk better. No one matches Eck, though.
