If he costs the Sox another game soon, it's DFA time for him. A 30-year-old, 18th round pick. Bye bye.

Sounds dumb, but pay TA basically whatever he wants over six years. Add six years to his deal and dat's dat. Just get ready to pay the superstar going rate.

At least Eloy comes back quickly from injuries. I still love the guy I just think he's no longer a reliable prospect. The appearance is he's just not going to be healthy.

I missed the news on this. What a joke with all the hammy injuries. I can't believe he got hurt delivering a simple pitch. Ugh.

I'd be fine with Jose A taking a walk every time up the way they pitch him. If they do come into him, then he can bash. When Jose is going bad, he's a ground out waiting to happen or weak pop. Just take the walk unless they are gonna come in with a meaty fastball or curve. He has no chance on sliders that bite.

The rebuild fizzzed when Eloy kept getting hurt. And the rebuild has been hurt by Moncada not being a superstar yet. ... Also the rebuild didn't stand a chance when Sox abandoned caring at all about defense.

I would think in high school and Little League and Babe Ruth a coach would DEMAND his batter plop down a bunt in such a scenario. But not the shift happy big leagues. The player still has to try to lift and pull and so often hits right into the shift. Disgusting. I think of a single in baseball as a player catching a fish in a pond and tossing it right back unless it's a whopper. Singles ... ah, who needs 'em?

I'm convinced what we see is what we get. Sox are a mediocre team at best. Teams with ultra bad defense and at least four automatic outs in a lineup on a given night are going nowhere. The pitching, which I think is still a question mark, determines whether this team completely tanks or continues to hang around .500.

I agree pork chop. What a great name. I haven't had pork chops in a long time. They are DELICIOUS cept when not cooked long enuf. Give me medium well or well done for my breaded chop.

It's so tricky. In watching games, I've seen so many Sox hitters let cookies go by. Last night I forget which hitter was up, but somebody on the game thread wrote "swing the damn bat!"

The strike zone in baseball blows. I don't know how pitchers can get anybody out.

Wow. Moncada is good field no hit. What a play. ... And jose with the good glove.

Sox are due for it to be just a cramp.

Funny how those two old guys sitting behind home plate don't mind the rain. It's almost as if it's not raining on them. ... BTW I'm always shocked when peeps are at a baseball game and facing each other while talking. There's a fricking game going on. You have to be quite a narcissist to shift your body and have to look at somebody when talking when an expensive ballgame is taking place live. Watch those 2 chatterboxes in the front row on the center field shot.

It's hard to go 3 for 38. It's almost impossible. Maybe he's a bust. Or injured.

I love when Jose takes his walks. Shades of Big Hurt.

How can anybody not love Tim Anderson? He is a phenom and a lock for all star game again. He is a special player. Good hitter, good fielder cept when he loses focus. I'd give him an A.

Is it always a month minimum on the DL when a Sox player hurts the hammy? Has anybody really come back immediately? Seems to me it's always a month or so.

Man Rich Hill throws slow. Kaboom. Home run by Burger. Nice blast. Frankly the other righthanded hitters should be ashamed of themselves. Rich Hill is soft tossing stiff. Good career, though.

We ignore it. We let them do what they want forevermore and let America tumble.

I wonder why Cease stunk. Hadn't he been money in the bank? Pretty dominant? Out of nowhere he gets pummelled.

I worship Stoney but he probably should get off Twitter a while. It can drive you crazy and he's been a little bossy lately.

Yeah, I know my position is wrong, the opinion provided just cause I'm so pissed. No need to risk injury. I'm just pretty much accepting the team blows and moves like that really are unnecessary cause this team is no good.

Why? This team blows. Just let him hit.

Burger got a cookie on the pitch before the one in the dirt. Bash the ball.
