    I'm as sick of Gomez as everyone

    But what is the "good" option in place of Gomez?

    White and his .519 OPS in May?
    Tucker and his .510 OPS in May?

    Maybe he is thinking that the young guys would have a tougher time with the knuckleball

    In any case, the better option is Kemp but until Luhnow makes him an option, all Hinch can do is play the hand he is dealt, which right now isn't a good hand

    I trust Marwin more in those situations then Correa currently, no doubt.

    That last pitch by Lance had wicked movement.

    If that stupid tarp wasn't there that was a pop out in foul territory....

    CRAP....then followed by that. Amazing.

    Red Sox were the last team we wanted to face at this time. They are mashing.

    So this is what a team with real hitters looks like.

    This road trip can very likely bury the team to where outlook and approach to the rest of the season will be altered. The team is looking very outclassed against the better teams in the league.

    Analytics would suggest to play for the rainout.
