They're in a rebuild, and obviously, in a money crunch. If billionaires saw this financial shake-up coming after November, the paucity of spending from owners who cry poor makes more sense. I don't wonder why you were pessimistic. I wonder why you expected anything more. I predicted 54 wins. This is what a 108-loss team looks like. I could post all this every day, but I don't think that's what you're looking for. Oh, and even if they signed Ha-Seong Kim, they'd still be running this infield crew out there every day. You've been silent about that.

Yeah, that's a backup outfielder. If he OPSed 1.000, he'd be starting somewhere.

Brebbia owes us one of his 2024 BS blown saves.

Leasure, Eisert, Wilson, Vasil. Who closes? Vasil seems to have the lucky, hot hand.

Good pitching makes the manager look brilliant.

Maybe if Benintendi is hurt, we'll all realize our dream of seeing Oscar Colas get a good month of starts.

The weird part is that Slater has neutral, or even reverse platoon splits over the last year. Maybe Venable just wanted to give Jankowski a full run. It's not quite like Roman Anthony was sitting so Jankowski could play.

Right-handed pitchers. I believe that Venable had moved on to Baldwin as the strong end of that platoon by yesterday.

No surprises here...Tauchman up, Jankowski out.

He was thinking about the team fielding stats of previous seasons, and the promise Chris Getz apparently made.

You're not really making an argument, here. Last year's stats don't apply to the 2025 team. It's fun to pretend, tho.

A lot more of a trend than a season where only 5 guys remain from last year's opening day roster.

They also didn't get a full spring training's look at Jankowski. Perhaps they're evaluating him as AAA depth, too.

The Sox are tied for 10th best this year in team defensive runs saved.

They're LHHs, and we've been getting a steady diet of RHPs. Thaiss has been hitting, and Maton has early power. What's not to love?

Team transactions say that Colas was dropped down to Birmingham. Dude is ultimately "depth".

The seems to be a window between 4 and 7.

The bullpen sucked tonight. They were great for the first 4 games.

Nick Maton hit another HR tonight. They should really cut him, because HR's don't matter unless you're 23.

Only once they get traded from the Sox to another team.

Then maybe every city should raise taxes and build domed stadiums, just to play all the games in climate controlled environments.
