Wasn’t his first free agent signing as Sox GM Jeff Keppinger? What more needs to be said?

If Engel could hit like Eaton, he’d be starting in CF everyday.

No, you are mostly correct. That most recent episode was filled with so many ridiculous plot holes it hurt my brain. And I have watched every single episode.

Sure, but that’s a pipe dream. The Sox love to hire cheaper options, especially former players who are already in their organization. Is there any doubt that the job is Vizquel’s next?

Yes, Ricky is terrible due to his love for the bunt and his decisions last night were awful but Ozzie loved the bunt every bit as much when he was coaching the Sox. He can talk all the BS he wants now but his actions as Sox manager were pretty much aligned with Ricky’s. They both love bunting and so does the next Sox manager, Omar Vizquel. It isn’t going to get any better my friends.

Don't worry everyone. Ricky will eventually be replaced by Omar Vizquel... who.also.loves.bunting. Awww, hell. Fuck it all.

Uhhh, nope.

Alonso for the win.

Attempts a bunt and then strikes out on the very next pitch. Seriously, F this team and its awful manager.

Not with the salary that comes with him. Sox will have to eat some of it.

I think the first will be Collins but it's all dependent on Alonso either starting to hit so he gets traded or being so bad that he gets cut.

15 strikeouts for Orioles pitchers. They sure do love to hack away.

Omar magically improves. I mean it's not rocket science here. Our GM also gave up Tatis Jr. for a 5.31 ERA.

Wishful thinking. To trust anyone within the Sox front office to their scouting department to their coaching staff is a ridiculous assumption considering their performance.

Do advanced statistics still say Alonso is doing just fine?

Covey definitely has better stuff than both Nova and Santana. Covey is worth another shot if they had/have no problem wasting starts on Santana and Nova.

Hahn wanted to give up a prospect and $9 million for an "innings eater" with a 8.50 ERA? If that's what Hahn wanted, he's an even worse GM than I already think. The truth is, he chose poorly with Nova. Just like he did with Yonder Alonso, Jon Jay, and Ervin Santana. He spent around $22+ million on crap.

I mentioned Covey and I actually think I'd rather see him. Pretty sad.

Dude, Hahn traded a prospect for Nova and his $9 million, he has looked terrible, he is looking like a T-ball stand tonight, and has an ERA around 8 and a half. How can you possibly be defending the move still? It was bad. Nova may not even make it through the season still on the team. No one wants an innings-eater with an ERA of 8.50. Why not just start Covey at that point?

Maybe Nova is into statistics but he thinks having a higher WHIP is better?

One game shouldn’t change anyone’s mind one way or the other.

You are expecting too much for $9 million dollars. Be happy with an 8.49 ERA.

In the NL... usually facing a pathetic #8 hitter and #9 pitcher.
