JR is a loyal son of a gun which I think is admirable. Our only hope is a promotion of some sort. RR and Coop have worn out their welcome with most Sox fans but JR needs a way of offering some kind of soft landing for those he considers loyal soldiers. I would love Jirschele as manager and Dotson as our pitching coach. That combination should appeal to both JR's sense of loyalty and thrift while satisfying my need for change at those two positions.

You can see that one coming. FA power bats have been an absolute nightmare.

Well...so much for positivity!

Time for Carlos to throw like we know he can.

Excellent idea!

I certainly hope not!

I'm sure that is correct. I really mean as of NOW.

Win or lose tomorrow...I hope we are done with the Edwin Encarnacion era. I don't care how many lifetime homers he has hit...a .157 batting average doesn't play for me.

We should be proud of the guys for not rolling over and playing dead. They made a real game of it. I am very positive about our chances tomorrow.

As an old-time baseball fan I generally don't like change...but thanks to lousy umpiring I am anxious for the electronic calling of balls and strikes. It has gotten ridiculous.

Perfect!

It was a pleasure watching a game with a good fielding outfield and no EE. RR managed like he wanted to win it today.

That's right...we can beat any of them. Just play as we did a week ago.

Sox played better tonight with someone else calling the managerial shots.

Ricky won't be fired...not JR's style. He very well could be promoted...my hope.

All will be forgiven if we win the ALCS and/or WS Championship.

Good feeling about tonight's game. "When the going gets tough...the tough get going."

Moncada and Roberts might show up on occasion as well.

There is no GM that I am aware of that has done the extension game as well as Hahn IMO. His trades of Sale, Quintana, and Eaton were enhanced because of the extensions negotiated by RH.

Way to work that pitch count.

I choose EE. A .164 hitter is not fun to watch.

Madrigal is hitting .346 and people still say he will only be an average 2nd baseman. Doesn't walk enough and needs more power yada yada. Soxtalk is a tough crowd to please.

The other day when Anderson was wired for sound on the field he referred to Madrigal as Magical. That should end all discussion on the nickname issue.

If Ricky could pencil in McCann instead of EE this would be a nice lineup.

I often tune in the opponent's broadcast. Frequently they are talking up our "young powerhouse". Word is getting around.
