If, and it's a big if, TA can get his head right and get back to who he is I would be very ok with Benintendi, TA, and Robert as the top 3 in the order heading in to next year. I'm ok with Vaughn at 1st its the next 5 that needs a total changeover. You have to get an everyday solid 2B and RF. If you think Colas is your RF then play him everyday the rest of the way this season and see if that is true or not. You then need to find a C who is great defensively and can hit you some HR's. I don' keep Moncada, Eloy, Grandal, Sheets. or Andrus. Yea you have to eat a crap load of salary if you can't trade them but you can't move ahead with any of these guys. And I don't know what you do with Burger. He is such an easy guy to root for and he plays really hard. You need guys like that on your team. Like I have said you have to change the culture on this team. No more guys who are hurt all the time or don't bust their butts playing hard. Look at the Braves. The first 4 in their order are playing every day. You need guys that love the game and hate to lose. Give me a team full of those guys.

What do you do with Eloy? I mean the guy is the definition of injury prone. You can't even put him at DH because he gets hurt just running to 1st. You have Moncada as well who can't stay on the field. I don't know what you do with the two of them.

This is just an awful baseball team full of players who have no pride whatsoever.

Must be fun to be a Braves fan.

Look for Kopech to go back on the IL right after the game.

The way Gio has been pitching lately looks like am upcoming divorce is suiting him well.

At this point we as Sox fans have to be shocked when something like this doesn't happen. Like every time Moncada and Jimenez run out a routine ground ball I'm shocked if they don't come up limping.

If JR is serious about winning games and having a contending team then RH has to be fired during the all star break. It is as simple as that. If you keep him and let him be in charge of another rebuild your telling every Sox fan that you for real could care less if the team competes or not, it's only an investment to you. The entire culture around this organization has to be changed. Almost everyone has to go for that to happen.

My theory is it is a having a kid with an Instagram thot, while being married, and your wife making your life a total and complete living hell.

There ain't nobody keeping TA down but himself. But being the narcissist that he is he doesn't take any accountability.

Yes that is one good thing you can takeaway from this clown show of a season. I did a live bet on the Jays moneyline at +106 in the 8th inning.

There are going to be 23 teams still in the race for a playoff spot come the break. That makes this very much a sellers market. The Sox keep Robert, Vaughn and Cease. Everyone else is for sale. Of course none of it matters if RH is still the GM.

Someone will for sure overpay for Lynn. Now just fire RH over the All star break and get ready to deal.

I have been a Sox fan for 50 years. I have seen some incredible bad teams and suffered through some incredible awful seasons. For some reason I am more irritated with this team and this season than I have ever been. I have stopped watching most of the games. If RH isn't fired during the All Star break I won't watch at all the rest of the season. If your going to sell which they have to do he absolutely can't be in charge of the rebuild. At least I got my one World Series Title in my lifetime.

There is absolutely no way that TA's off field issues aren't the main reason for his on field performance. Those of you who are married know exactly what I am talking about. I am kinda shocked his wife hasn't filed for divorce yet but she is probably been told to wait until after he is traded and signs a new contract. He is the typical Narcissist in that he doesn't put the entire blame on himself for his insanely bad choices.

Someone will think they can fix him.

Kopech is another one that has to be shopped to the highest bidder. He is a mental midget who can't throw strikes.

This team will be 20 under .500 at the break. The all star break will be the perfect time to fire RH.

What a shock, Kopech can't throw strikes. Over 50 pitches and not through 2 innings yet.

I'm a pretty hardcore Sox fan and I have stopped watching the games. I might check in on a game once and awhile but other than that I am just fed up with the entire organization. I am totally resigned to the fact that until there is new ownership and a new GM this will just continue to be a total clown show not worthy of my attention.

This team is nothing more than an investment to JR. An MLB team goes up in value no matter what it does on the field and he knows that as well as anyone. He won his WS. He has no desire to sink any more money in to this thing. As fans of this team we are screwed until a new owner takes over who hopefully wants to win more than anything.

I agree on Theo. But hey, a man can dream right?

There are a lot of teams in contention for playoff spots this year. There will be a huge demand for any kind of quality pitching. Giolito, Graveman, Lynn, Kelly could all bring a nice return. The big problem however is that RH would be negotiating the trades. You have to fire him within the next couple weeks and bring in Theo Epstein as the GM.

You have to make it known that TA is available to the top bidder. His head is so messed up right now with all the drama he has to have going on at home. I mean can you imagine the wrath he must be feeling right now from the wife? You know she is going to take him to the cleaners when she divorces his stupid a**. The guy threw away millions by sticking his **** in crazy. And now he is going to be paying child support on 3 kids for a long time.

This entire organization is garbage. They have to sell at the readline but the problem is Hahn is garbage and can't be trusted to negotiate anything. JR has to fire RH and hire Theo Epstein.
