Defense wins championships, which is why Bloom built the worst defensive team the Sox have fielded this century

Pretty sure the Kenley balk was intentional, he's done it before to get a guy off 2nd base with a multi run lead

I know part of it is waiting for guys to get healthy and playing the 40-man game but at a certain point you need to just bite the bullet and remove some of these guys as options.

Garza stinks but seemed rattled by Mets fans making noise as that inning went along. Casas wasn’t even holding the runner on that balk. Garza was seeing ghosts.

Why? He can't steal signs anymore. Is catcher positioning that important?
Who can't steal signs? Pretty sure guys attempt to steal signs from second base every game.

edit: Nevermind, I get what you mean now. But yeah, seeing where a catcher and his glove line up is still pretty useful.

Miami (oh, Miami!)
Went out visit with friends at an outdoor cafe in the top of the 6th. (It was like visiting people in soup.)

Anyway - SOOOO nice to come home and be pleasantly surprised.

So was Duran. Maybe Dalbec deserves another chance.
Duran got another chance this year because of injury and when he did he seized the moment by absolutely raking in April and forcing them to keep him around and playing most days. When Dalbec got a chance because of injuries this year he went 2/12 with 8 Ks.

Addition by subtraction... Kike unfortunately adds nothing offensively or in the field. And as far as Aquaman behind the plate, give the newly drafted Kyle Teel a number (said in jest).
