Hoskins strikes me as kind of flinchy. He turns away from the throw the few times I noticed.

Meidroth's a pro-level 2B. We're kind of beyond the period of trading everyone with value. He's your 2B until a superior option displaces him.

Good. My job is done here.

No, I watch the games and can actually make sense of the moves that are made. You just posted a blurb from a SoxMachine article that vindicates Venable over players not executing. I guess I need to move over on the bird cage swing so you can parrot the company line, also.

Machado was a top 15 shortstop prospect. JJ Hardy was the Orioles' shortstop, they had an opening at 3B, so Machado moved over.

There's a meme that downgrades him from Seranthony to Anthony to Tony. At this point, he's Tony Mung. edit - And there it is.

Peters was a nice, free pickup. It will be interesting to see how this team rations the playing time next year between Ant-man, Peters, B. Monty, Pereira, Baldwin, and Acuña.

Many here had this team losing 100 games again this year. Most of the sports listicle media had the Sox ranked 29th or 30th coming into the season. People couldn't resist pointing out that we were looking at a historically bad OF. I would say that Venable has this team playing above their heads. I think they're really a glorified .500 team who may will themselves into the playoffs. The team just came off of an insanely good run against the best teams in the game. There's a bit of letdown. They're missing a huge presence in the lineup in Mune. Pitching depth evaporated in the last year. He's running with a 3 man bullpen, and a 2-1/2 man rotation. Venable makes mistakes. I'm starting to come around to flipping Dominguez and Taylor. Pinch-hitting Gonzo today was weird. But mentioning Venable in the same breath as Grifol is outrageous.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I don't think this team resets the loss record again. They'd also have to go 22-63 to lose 100. I don't think that's happening either.

Sox, all the way!! Best band evah outta Cleveland, BTW,

Tony Mung.

A Man, A Plan, A Canal ....Ant-Man!!!

Okay, Double Live's gonna break it openl

Okay, I don't like Gonzo here. Acuña's swinging the hit stick.

People blaming Acuña for yesterday's game are curiously silent about "best arm on the team" Grant Taylor wiping his ass with two leads in a row.

f*** it. Walk the bases loaded and give up the grand slam.

They do have a closer. Dominguez. Everybody else is situational.

Teel needs to calm down, a little.

Maybe he was just telling us that this is, indeed, a baseball game.

Chairman of the Bat.

Acuña gettin' the job done.

Grant Taylor should be nails. He s%*# the bed.

He's a relief pitcher. His job is getting guys out when he's called upon. He's not the closer, so I can't imagine how he got used to having that role.
