Snopek

He already is GM

How the fuck is this team only a few games under 500?

I was thinking more the blue jays series. The tigers series is a distant memory at this point.

It was so damn predictable that once the bats came alive for a bit, the pitching fell apart. And now that the pitching looks good again, the bats go back to sleep. Just a pitiful team.

Welcome to being a Sox fan

Leury would’ve scored twice on that play

No way should he have sent him

But the easy schedule!

Honestly I’m off the fire Menechino thing. If he ends up being the scapegoat, fine, whatever. I’ll take a pulse over nothing. But with the way they seemed to turn a corner offensively the past couple weeks, this recent dud is 100% on the players IMO.

It’s too subjective. There’s no way to prove it, so it’s a completely meaningless thing for him to say and I’m sure he knows that.

It’d be nice if it actually mattered, but we all know it doesn’t. This is what we’re stuck with.

Being a fan of this team is just exhausting.

Yeah, I have a much better feeling about the underperforming players getting back/closer to their norms than I do about the health stuff.

Genuinely curious what your reasoning is for believing they get/stay healthy. Luck evening out? Gut feeling? Exercising more caution with rehab stints? It’s not exactly a hot take to assume they won’t get healthy.

This team is in a weird spot. They’re approaching a crossroads, but I fully expect them to just park the car in the middle of the intersection. I see the potential outcomes (in order from most to least desirable and, sadly, from least to most likely) as: 1) They find the dusty old book in the attic that contains the magic spell to make them healthy and good at baseball and they go on a tear 2) They fall far enough back in the standings to sell pieces or stand pat at the deadline, then go through a significant retooling in the offseason under a different GM 3) They continue to tread water, repeating phrases like “if we can get healthy,” while making some ill-advised trades that don’t move the needle one bit. Rinse, repeat, etc

Great catch by Gavin there

Orioles just completely outclassing the team with championship aspirations (lol). Good for them.

My goodness this roster sucks.

Leury and Sheets are back in the lineup so we’re back to this pitiful version of the team. And yes, I know they each have a hit. Let me have my snarky comment.

Are you really gonna pretend like we’re not all starved for a little excitement during this mostly miserable season?

I feel bad saying this because I want the guy to succeed, but I was really enjoying not seeing Sheets the past couple weeks. Who knows, maybe the improved hitting is contagious enough that he’ll start producing too.

I remember having these same thoughts last season.
