I don't know WTF happened between Baltimore and Pittsburgh, but the hitters on this team looked refreshingly like they had a plan in those first 3 games. Now they just absolutely suck.
Tampa broadcast is showing the pitcher's Mom. Looks like she is scoring the game. I like her.
You know you are old when the players parents look so young.

No, the offense largely sucked against Detroit, too. It was Baltimore they looked good against, they've been dogshit ever since. It wouldn't be so concerning if even a single player seemed to have any semblance of a plan at the plate.
Ah, gotcha. Ball was flying out of the park during that series, hard to know what to make of it. 27 runs in 3 games, 24 in 3 vs Detroit. 10 total on the other 5.
Maybe as a throw-in. Then a team with a real pitching coach can restore him to his former self. Oy!
The Redsox have a 200M payroll and have the following 4-9:
Triston Casas, Raimel Tapia, Bobby Dalbec, Reese McGuire, Yu Chang and Kike Hernandez.

The fact that you deemed Justin Turner worthy of being left out is honestly even more telling than the list.
Haha. There will be nobody left! What if they gave a game thread and nobody came?
At least we have a real first baseman this year! Granted we now have whatever Bobby is playing SS, Bloom can’t quit him!
I’m not having fun watching this team. Time to do something else with my evenings for a little while.
Does the hitting coach deserve some heat at this point? It's been multiple years of garbage approach now.
Well, he was named MVP of the first pool, but it was reckoned to be the weakest of the various groups, I think. I liked him.
Sure, do the in-game interview while Arozarena is batting.
Of course, during the WBC there was an in-game interview with Ohtani batting.

The frequency of in-game interviews has gone up dramatically and I'm not going to make it through 5 more months of that. In-game interviews suck 95% of the time.
