Well Eloy can fuck off. He’s under contract and his injury history suggests he shouldn’t play in the field. They aren’t part of the problem but they have value, the other two do not.

Where does Vaughn play?

I always thought they should deal one of Jimenez, Vaughn or Sheets…and maybe Moncada. They needed to deal one of those guys to bring in some different talent if they aren’t going to sign anyone.

How about this lineup? Anderson - SS Robert - CF Jimenez - DH Abreu - 1B Vaughn - LF Pollock - RF Zavala - C Harrison - 2B Moncada - 3B

They got paid and their deals are guaranteed. Many don’t appear to give a shit about winning.

If TLR didn’t have a new lineup every game, maybe they would be incrementally better. He can claim he is following the data to make different decisions but sometimes consistency is a good thing.

If Grandal or Moncada could hit the way they have hit in any of the good years they have had, this team would be incrementally better. They might even hit more home runs.

If the Sox make it to the playoffs, they will get into a hole like tonight and not come back while the other team adds on.

If you get beyond the politics of this article, it brings up some good points about immigration. I wonder if more immigration to take some of the less than desired and also skilled labor would help some some of our economic issues and cut down inflation. It’s too bad that immigration is a wedge issue and not one that both parties want to solve since it would strengthen our economy. More immigration, less inflation

Tim sucks.

Cueto pitches his heart out and they can’t play well for him. Stupid.

The Vaughn fanboys won’t like that one. We tried that idea last offseason and too many people bitched. If this happens; I will gladly go out and protest at the ballpark with a sign.

Ladies and gentlemen, that is why they need an actual right fielder and to move Vaughn to first.

Good. Maybe mock them like so… ”Hey Yoan, maybe take it easy on the lap dances you get after the game from your music video and your $80+ million and try hitting the ball consistently!” ”Hey Grandal, we’re you always this bad when you weren’t on PEDs?” That’s all I have for now.

I went for a run. Are we happy or are we mocking cheering? I’d be for mocking cheering. Mock Grandal and Moncada and cheer on the rest.

AAA. Lead him off and tell him he needs to learn to hit again.

That made my day, seeing someone have to get a vaccine or completely devalue himself by not being as available to his team like Irving in NY.

I’d go so far to tell Yoan to develop in AAA for a month a la Schwarber and Happ.

Is he playing hurt? Does his health matter going into next year if he’s going to play like Adam Dunn? All of them have pros and cons. The one that looks to be the best this year appears to be Eloy. Not sure why he is being played to be honest with you.

What do you hope to get in return for these guys? Isn’t TA supposed to be the core of this team? Lucas might be traded in the offseason or they might have to be a good front office that goes out and replaces him and or Cueto this offseason. He is pathetic, but would anyone take someone hitting what he is and his mammoth contract on and give anything worth a crap in value?

It might just be tickets bought in advance of today. When the walk up crowd doesn’t come like it has, then we can give old Jerry the fuck you and tell him to fuck himself.

You know who the fan base needs to realize actually sucks? Lucas Giolito.

And said fans will make their disapproval known with their wallets.

Agreed with this too. And I’m hoping for a turnaround even though I doubt it will happen. I could agree with that. A rental makes sense but unless it is an investment in someone like Ian Happ, I don’t think anyone other than a rental made sense. Agreed wholeheartedly with the bolded and agreed mostly with the talent he has acquired. I just don’t think there was a market where they could get anything of value for the players you have mentioned given their salaries…except for maybe Cueto. And they weren’t going to trade Abreu. Exactly. It’s nothing new and years like last year’s trade deadline was an anomaly.

Is anyone really surprised by their lack of moves?
