At least Hamilton only cost Bello 4 more pitches, but giving this lineup 2 extra PA is awful.

Leave it to OB to herald Chang's near-return and then talk about how the current group isn't hitting. NOT THE PROBLEM, dumb-ass.

And Lumer bails him out.

A few years removed from a WS and a deep playoff run and we are all awaiting a career .206 hitter on his 6th team.
What happened to our Sox?
WE have been watching Hernandez and Hamilton at SS. What happened was that Bloom bought Trevor Story, a SS, and put him at 2nd hoping to avoid surgery. It didn't work. Now he's coming back soon, and almost certainly to SS. Chang will be his backup, I guess, and the other guys will go back to AAA to learn stuff. (Edit: clearly I didn't mean Hernandez. He is a decent CFer.)

I have a feeling that Story is coming back as a second baseman or DH. His arm was weak in Colorado.

The story (ha) for now is that they expect him to come back as a SS. i think the UCL was weakening when he was in Colorado, which is why the velocity declined over there

Chang will displace Hamilton, but when Story returns Chang looks to be the odd man out.

Edited to say that Duvall or Hernandez being traded might afford Chang a spot on the 26 man roster.

Nice story about Ort and his haircut donation.

It sucks now that I like him.

A hit and run with a guy who can't make contact? Just have him BUNT!

And then he walks - At least we clear the bottom of the order now.

Like the guy can't find the strike zone and we're doing a hit and run? baffling stuff

Duran should've let that one go. He's been super hot, can't blame him for swinging

I am longing for some player to say how much they hate playing at Fenway. These interviews with nothing but one cliche after another are so boring.
