Sandlin made him look like a clown lmao. The swing to end the AB was just pure "wtf are you doing?"Letting Hamilton swing away was certainly a choice by Alex
Campbell had some good ABs at least. I thought for sure he was going to end that game.

It will haunt them for years? Nope, that was you who inserted the unnecessary hyperbole.Eight games and you are doing this?
“This is terrible. It will haunt them for years”
Tying run on second, no out, with a pinch hitter on deck followed by the top of the order, and an incredibly weak batter at the plate, you've gotta bunt to at least give Refsnyder the chance to hit a sac fly.Sandlin made him look like a clown lmao.

Yea,you make a good point .I never watched close enough could they not pinch hit for weak batterTying run on second, no out, with a pinch hitter on deck followed by the top of the order, and an incredibly weak batter at the plate, you've gotta bunt to at least give Refsnyder the chance to hit a sac fly.
1000% this. Divisions aren't won in April and I wouldn't put much stock in any game played in 35 degree weather. 2 weeks in and they're 1 game under .500 with 149 to go...My take, hate to see a turn in this direction against the Jays but it's cold and it's early April. I know, every game counts and we'll remember these games in September, yada yada yada. Season is young, I'm more worried about the pitching in the long run than the hitting. Long way to go, this team will hit as it heats up in New England.
Offense wasn't the problem last year. Nor is it this year. They lead the the AL in BA, Hits, and Hits with RISP. They're also 3rd in OPS and second in Runs Scored. They ARE 2nd in the AL in K's so your point is fair.This team swings at anything and everything. Same story as last year. They refuse to take a pitch
The problem is it is not just Fatse, it is his three true outcome, garbage-peddling analytics overlords who run the show.We lead the AL in strikeouts. Our guys are swinging at everything.
The Pete Fatse experience once again sucks.
Gotta fix that shit immediately
AgreedThe problem is it is not just Fatse, it is his three true outcome garage-peddling analytics overlords who run the show.

I hate it so muchYup, 2 sports are getting uglied up by analytics.
Basketball turned into "chuck as many 3s as possible" and baseball turned into "just swing for the fences everyime, who cares about striking out"
When some pencil neck geek that never played the game tells Jim Rice he is wrong, you have issues.I hate it so much
