Lambs to the slaughter? We look to our shepherd Giolito as he faces Berrios and the Twins 8:10 EST

McCann is chasing anything and everything.  This lineup besides Yoan is a joke

I know this is an old term, but that was an epic fail by Renteria there. I can't think of a better use for that term than this past half inning. 

Epic fail is giant middle name

Jose is going to finish with a OPS+ most likely worse than Palka's 2018.  Future cornerstone my fucking ass.

And Ricky will continue to bat him 3rd and play him at 1B if resigned. I'm not gonna go full @ron883 here but I do agree I'd rather move on because of that.

 I agree I don't dislike him. I think to many people are too sentimental with him.   I would rather the sox spend money on ozuna and move Jimenez to 1st or Dh.

I won't be upset if they bring Abreu back for a year or two on a team friendly deal but the idea of Vaughn at 1B, Eloy to DH, and acquiring a better defensive LF'er with some pop is intriguing (Ozuna?)

WE SHOULD HAVE EXTENDED HIM DURING HIS RIDICULOUS HOT STREAK!!!

[SoxAce 2,217]

Gio missing over the plate.

[Soxfest 308]

LG fading fast 

[Moan4Yoan 1,823]

Regression is a b**** for both Gio and McCann.

[fathom 5,531]

92 mph fastballs won’t work...regression sucks

Which means there’s even more reason to fire Hahn and Cooper when the season is over 

[SoxAce 2,217]

Twins are like the A's to us... just can't seem to figure them out. Been that way for years.

GINAA

[fathom 5,531]

So just how are the Sox going to start competing with this Twins lineup next year?  They have better players at almost every position.

McCann is still a good acquisition but I still think it's hilarious that some posters thought he somehow changed into a superstar after 4 mediocre years with the Tigers.  Grandal will definitely be a guy the Sox should look at in the offseason and they can bring back McCann as his backup.  It sure doesn't seem like the Sox want Collins catching much.

Gio about to fall apart .......the giolitto from last year has been rearing his ugly head for the last month 

[SoxAce 2,217]

Nelson Cruz show.

[Soxfest 308]

Looks like LG of 18

[Moan4Yoan 1,823]

Three homers for Cruz, lol.  All the more reason Abreu had better accept a team friendly deal if the Sox resign him.

[EvilJester99 239]

Might want to walk him next time..

Anyone else curious/skeptical about this Twins power output this year?

[fathom 5,531]

Batting practice...wouldn’t it be something if Lopez ends up with a better ERA than Giolito.

[southsideirish71 779]

Dear Ricky,

When a player hits 2 home runs make sure you pitch to him so he can get his third.  

[soxfan49 1,886]

Not an ace

Oh god yes, it’s like they all use aluminum bats.

[Sox80 215]

This is very disappointing!
