At least Gallo is a lefty and has a track record. I prefer him to Pollock. More power potential. He would not feel as much pressure here than with the Yankees and may work out.

At the end of the day, Hahn has failed to fill out the Sox’s main needs which are a quality LH outfielder and a good 2 nd baseman, as well as a lefty slugger. We have a power outage until yesterdays game with Eloy back. He also hired one of the worst coaching and training staffs in MLB. He joins other Chicago bad GMs like the one who traded away the house for Mitch Trubistky, and all the bad moves by the Hawks, including todays bad trade of Alex De Brincat for three draft picks, only one in the first round. Didn’t get back any proven player and parted with our best player. This trade has been criticized by the experts. eSPN gave the Hawks a D and the Senators an A. Only explanation is that the Hawks were not going to spend the $ to resign DE Brincat, but they should have negotiated a better deal.

Joc Pederson signed with the Giants this season for $6M, and with Joc we could have had 20 more home runs so far. Hahn has been awful signing lefty outfielders our main need.

His Leury Legend T shirt will probably now replace the Steve and Jason Sox Charity T shirts next time around!

He hit 23 homers in the low minors in 2017 and 21 homers in AAA in 2019. So he has some pop.

Main reason we won.

Homers are key for the Sox to stay in the race. Was winning formula last season.

Today Robert and Eloy showed up.

They have more home run hitters than the Sox this season,which hurts more at GRF. Sox had to hit 3 homers today to match the Twins. Without the homers today, we would have been swept. Homers were our formula for success last season, but we have had a power outage this year. Welcome back Eloy. He made a big difference today. We need sluggers!

Our pitchers have no margin of error as Twins have too many many home run hitters in the lineup and balls are flying out today.

We needed these 2 homers so far. It is hard to beat the Twins at GRF without hitting homers, as they will certainly out homer and outrun us otherwise. Eloy being back has been key.

JR and TLR are delusional and living in an alternate reality.

What about trying a hit and run to try to avoid the double play?

To TLR lefty righty matchups are paramount and trumps any other consideration.

Do we have a chance at a wild card? We are not going to win the Division. Twins are much better this season.

No coaching. No development. No accountability.

But at least either way we increase opposing pitchers pitch counts.

Yes you are right, forgot about Graveman.

Add Kimbrel to the list..

You know you have a problem when Hahn recent signings have been Big Energy, Leury Legend, Pollock, Kelly, VV. With no quality lefty outfielder in sight, which is our biggest need. Only good signing lately has been Cueto.

Hopefully, JR does not bring in one of his octogenerians from his board of directors,

Needed to bring Eloy back quickly as we need someone who can hit homers. The Twins are destroying us with homers at home., and we have many home games coming up.

What sense does it make to bring in an analytics guru when you have comatose manager and owner who are in the 20 th century and mostly ignore analytics. You need to move the whole organization into the 21 st century looking forward not backwards like now.

We have been at that point for several weeks now. It maybe too late now to save the season.

That is why the Twins are in first place and we are on 3rd and falling fast.
