It doesn’t even look like Benintendi tries in the OF. Just brutal

Benintendi is a zero tool player
I just don’t see how a guy goes from a solid 1.5 to 2 war player to just absolutely awful so quickly in what should be his prime years. It’s not like he’s 33-35. He can’t possibly be this bad.

I didn't see the Fletcher play, but the winds are BRUTAL and gusty today. Typically when that happens at this park the winds above circle the opposite direction below the upper deck level. The balls in the air will go up at one angle, and then when they catch the lower jet stream, they suddenly move back the opposite way. You really see it on IF pop ups and high fouls behind home plate. Players will start running one way, and then all of the sudden have to break the opposite direction almost at the very end.
He just slipped and fell.

Cannons stuff is very intriguing.

The inevitable has happened: Sheets is in RF for the first game.
Honestly I’m fine with it. Going into the season I wasn’t, but at this point what the hell. Same goes for Eloy out there. Frankly nothing to lose at this point.

On the other hand, we have the chance to double our win total tomorrow! ☠️

Assuming cousin goes unclaimed on waivers, I wonder if he is able to be assigned back to the minors. It was obvious that his contract required him to be added to the 40 man this past off-season, but one would think it had similar language if this scenario were to have played out.

If anything, he should have been worth like 7-10 million on a one year deal
Well, now that he's here, hopefully he comes in and whips some of these fools into shape, rakes and then we trade him for someone interesting to plug in for a 2 month tryout in August/September.

Yah. He’s not good. Feel bad for him. It’s a tough spot.

As it stands right now, Bryan Shaw's $1.5 million is the only "wasted" money. And they did give the young guys enough time in the minors to get that extra year of control you so wanted. Who cares if they were going to give Nastrini and Cannon their shot early or not? You act like you stumbled upon Nixon's Watergate tapes.
Shaw made $1.5M? Wasn’t an an milb deal?

Interesting mice with Cannon. Didn’t see that coming this quickly.

Still wish he was our 1B (position change of course) over Vaughn
Ehh. I'd still roll with the AV, but he's certainly earned the skepticism lately.

I’d like to see them oromote Jirscele and let him grow into the job. JR isn’t going to pay for a top manager. So let Jirschel manage. Let him make mistakes when it doesn’t matter. See if he becomes a good manager, instead of waiting until the team may be relevant and hiring a guy like Pedro who aces interviews but sucks when it’s time to do the job.
This. s%*# can Pedro. Promote Jirschele to manager.

Just because everyone likes to point out when former Sox do well with their new team, especially Burger. After getting out of the gate quickly Burger is down to an 86 wRC+ (.228/.281/.421) and quickly fell back to 0 fWAR. He has started as many games at 1B as 3B, and is now on the IL with another core/oblique injury.
I wish Jake well, but will again repeat that he's not a guy that is going to haunt the Sox long term.

Benintendi can sit more instead of being a fixture in LF every freaking day.
I think you basically need to play Benintendi mostly everyday against RHP, at least for now. Sox still owe him like $65M. Absolutely have to try to find a serviceable player out of him, especially in a lost season.

I thought Martin looked like after ASG? Martin was optioned to not burn a whole season on the IL. So, they would have to roster him, then 60-day IL him.... I guess it could work.
Yeah, forgot he was on milb IL, so that makes that a bit more unlikely but not impossible. Maybe Leone then. Would be surprised to see them 60 day Robert.

Colas is an actual prospect for whom more time in AAA might actually help him. Sheets is a very good defensive OF. Pham is adequate. Has Sheets played an inning in RF this year?
He hasn’t. And he shouldn’t. But I’d rather play Sheets out there than 30 somethings that have no chance of returning anything meaningful even if they perform well in a season where we’re already 2-13. It’s not like Grossman plays good defense - dude dropped a ball both you and I would have caught with ease today.

No brainer signing. Glad Getz is not content with Pillar & Grossman.
Meh. I’d rather have none of them and just let Fletcher, Colas and DeLoach soak up as many ABs as possible. You still have to play Benintendi for obvious reasons and and Robert will be back in 5-6 weeks.
Pham, Grossman and pillar accomplish nothing at this point.

Interesting…had not seen that yet. Actually makes sense though as it sounds like Robert will miss at least two months.
47 minutes ago, WestEddy said:I read someone surmise Robert to the 60-day IL
I doubt it. Getz literally said Friday that Robert may only miss 6 weeks. Seems unlikely to make that statement and then guarantee 8 weeks 72 hours later. Davis Martin 60 day is my guess.
And good for the Sox to secure the extra year. 32 starts of a potentially decent to good SP in a potentially competitive season >>>>> 2 more starts in a punted one.

yeah, that one guy is literally named "bum" and is making $6mil. looks like he's taking a step in the right direction though, his ERA is down to 5!
With a 1.7 whip. I like Bummer, and I think the Sox did fine on that trade. Soroka has been disappointing but Soroka, Schuster and Shewmake alone were a very reasonable gamble.

Grossman should be DFA tonight. There is simply no reason for him to take ABs away from younger players.

These guys blow but I’ll take the under.
What should Getz do with LuBob?
