Jackson is fine but Farmer is not my cup of tea.

Agreed!

I'm the same way. They were always fooling around and Benetti was differential to every thing Stone said. Now they are working to stay on baseball topics and Jason has an adult conversation with Stone. Growing on me.

Hard to imagine how unhappy most of us are with Sox this year. Anderson, Moncada, McCann and Abreu will legitimately receive ASG consideration.

Between injury and agent...Rodon will not be part of the glory years.

Who would look at Yogi Berra and think left fielder.

I agree with everything you said.

Now this game is what I call entertaining.

McCann looks to be under control in his at bats. I know he probably won't hit .350...but it doesn't look lucky. He had 10 or 11 pitches on that drive caught at the RF wall. Very impressed with him.

Great game against a team and pitcher we supposedly couldn't beat. We even did it with Nova pitching who I'm not very fond of. Did you guys notice he pitches faster with a nice lead. Maybe we should get him a nice lead whenever he pitches.

You and me both.

Don't disagree but would like to get something out of this season like major league adjustment. Also, something is needed to keep fans interested.

People will say it's the wrong baseball move but I think it would be a smart marketing move. I don't necessarily agree with those who believe you can't learn at the major league level. Isn't that where we have the best coaches. Who cares if he makes some rookie mistakes. At least there would be a reason to watch the game.

As hardcore fans... most of us follow the teams day to day struggles during the rebuild. Bad pitching and lack of hitting frustrate us beyond words. Frustrating to look forward to the game only to have it be over in the third inning. My question....what can JR due to make the game interesting while this is going on? The stadium is empty and not many are watching. Bill Veeck was someone that understood that baseball needed to be entertaining even if not good. When hardcore fans are bored it can't be good for the long term health of the organization. Hey Jerry...DO SOMETHING!

My guess is he's traded by July 31. The log jam of potential 1st basemen / DH has to be broken up sometime. Might as well be now while we can get a useful piece in return.

Harsh but true.

Just released by Cincinnati. Any interest?

I agree. Especially the part of blaming more than one guy.

First round 7th overall pick in 2015. Looks to be worthless. Remember when the Sox swapped Joe Borchard for Matt Thornton. Both were disappointing first round draft choices. Thornton worked out very well for us. Time for some of that same creativity.

JR is loyal if he perceives you to be loyal. SportsVision was a disaster and Harry was right to bail. I was however sick of Harry & Jimmies antics. His popularity has grown but I thought he was a jerk.

McCann really covers the strike zone. Not many wild ass swings diving out, etc. His batting maner reminds me of Fisk.

Makes you want to try pitching.

I mean whoever is the best pitcher when we get to the draft. Things change a lot with this much time remaining. If things stay the same you options such as trading down or whatever. I am of course not against best player available. Some time soon we will be trading from our arsenal of players we're building up.

Not playing like it.
