Disagree on long term. I don’t think there’s any potential left to unlock with Mazara still. He’s just not good imo.



Goddamnit


Mazara has no clear skills. Zero power. Low contact.

20 HRs per year with career .751 OPS, he clearly has some power. He's not a world beater but he is someone who will be a consistent at bat in the bottom of the order.

A career OPS of 750 for an OF with no speed or special defensive skills after 4 years is terrible. He’s not good.

I'd rather see Jerry spend money on a better option, but the cheap bastard won't do that so Mazara is the best option right now

Also, what DP there!!!

edit... damn safe at 1st but what an effort there


IF Mazara with his record is your worse offensive player in the line-up, you've got a really good line-up.

Maybe but he’s a better baseball player than Mazara. He’s the best RF we have currently

Nope. Mazara is an average starting major league right fielder. Engel is an excellent defensive utility outfielder. That is all. YOu're welcome for the baseball lesson that I just gave you.

Unreal. What a fucking clown show.

At the VERY LEAST, it should be 5-4, runners at 2nd & 3rd with 1 out.

Fuck you, Grandal

Les Grandal would be fine with me. Not sure what he was looking at.

Even before the throw home, last thing you want is Abreu trying to run someone down as he’s running to the next base. Throw it to 2nd and let the speed run him down going back to first

Glad we paid Grandal so much to be our 2nd best catcher and play more than our best catcher

Sox haven't walked anyone off this year. I guess we just get the chance to do that tonight.

Colome not backing him up is inexcusable too.

What a shit show.

Grandal has an amazing lack of focus for a catcher

Did our pitchers attend Giolito's no hitter when he threw 19 first pitch strikes out of the 28 guys he faced?

He’s a solid piece. I’m glad he’s on our team. McCann is a better baseball player.

Thing that separates this team from last year is when they had that miscue in the 9th, none of us thought they wouldn't walk it off in the bottom half

Pretty interesting 9th inning for Colome. He gets a busted save and a win on an unearned run to tie things up and then a home run to win it. Really have never seen an inning like that one.

We were lucky to get out of that tied. Gordon got himself out, thank god.
