Reminder that it's OK to replace this guy at 1B and in the lineup (and that's it's pretty unserious not to). idk what went down in Washington with Lowe, but I'm guessing that the Sox did their diligence. If Lowe simply hated playing there (it happens), could be an explanation

Seems like a lot of pitches for a guy who's 26 IP back from Tommy John . . . wtf are we doing here? Expecting a demotion tomorrow, if we're following the Cora playbook.

Ceddanne's plate approach is in the toilet. Disappointing, given how much progress he'd appeared to have made a month or so back. Maybe he's fatigued? Looks like he could use a couple days to reset.

Yep - with Bernardino coming back up tomorrow, it just confirms that this was the patented "fuck this guy, he's gone tomorrow" AC move.

. . . and Ceddanne was very vocal about how much Bregman helped him with his approach qhen he was raking. Maybe, since Bregman has his own ABs to focus on now, that's why Rafaela has reverted to some bad tendencies? Would make some sense.

Did Cora forget that Mountcastle was there? I mean, bringing in a guy with Wilson's splits with nobody out and 2 on . . . not exactly a stunning result there.

0-2 with Nathaniel Lowe. He's clearly a very selfish player, hogging those late inning RBIs for himself - and obviously sabotaged the rest of the team with some high level Lowe trickery. Get him gone.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but Hamilton getting called up does not mean that Ceddanne's days at 2B are at an end (nor should it).

Sox have no idea how to drop a bunt down - it's painful. I get that nobody bunts anymore, but I'm old . . . and everything is painful.

As much as I love Story defensively, I do feel that sometimes he needs to peel it back on the balls in the shallow OF. The OFs clearly defer to him way too much when he's going after those, when they should be turning on the jets and getting to the ball. Not saying anyone

I mean, what is there to NOT love about this kid? Even the bat flip was done perfectly . . . not too flashy or showy, but juuuust enough of "You Yankee clowns are officially on notice that this is how I do shit."
