Still playing catchup from my late arrival. Sorry to see Dommer got the DFA. Is he good? Not really. Likable? TOTALLY. I hope someone picks him up.
Selfishly, I'm hoping he clears, and is still available to us at AAA.

Wong is really below average defensively, pitch calling, framing, blocking. We took Varitek for granted

We don't have the ...poise? Discipline? Something is missing that this BS keeps happening.

If they feel like they need to pull the plug early the only guys left are: Horn, Garcia, Sims, Martin, Kenley & Winck. Really need Criswell to hold it together for at least another inning

I’m really surprised we haven’t seen more Jansen behind the plate

Wong is really below average defensively, pitch calling, framing, blocking. We took Varitek for granted you would think Varitek would be helping him get better.... Almost makes me think Tek is encouraging the absurd framing and kneeling with runners on third.

That's 2 preventable runs now due to miss plays.

Wong is really below average defensively, pitch calling, framing, blocking. We took Varitek for granted It becomes a little harder to take all of the above when a) he is striking out close to 40% of the time, and b) we in fact have a better catcher on the roster.

How is Cora not having these dudes work harder on defense and fielding. Even if he dedicated 1 entire month to each guy we could be so much better.

Looks like we should sign Hill and hope he is better than what we are seeing tonight.

Almost makes me think Tek is encouraging the absurd framing and kneeling with runners on third. I honestly don’t think he has the defensive skills, even kneeling you should block that. And his pitch calling really doesn’t make sense, it’s just like Saltalamacchia where Ross overtook him with defense alone

hey I get it he's a LHH DH on a team stacked with lefties but when he's hot he's peppering the ball everywhere and working the count it's fun to watch. Poor guy is adjusting to a new country longer season and injuries. He's human and I feel like as fans we forget that sometimes. He didnt have any family here and in a game when you fail 7 out of 10 times to be considered good it has to be even harder for him. I think he was also unfairly judged as a left fielder last year, yeah he isnt good, but that wall messes with defensive metrics and takes a while to learn.

On that pitch Abreu struck out on, I had time to see it was a ball and have the thought "oh good, that's a ball which it will be impossible to swing at," all before Abreu started his swing.
