Hahn's not worried if his injuries excuse is eviscerated. His clown-hat is teeming with more. Excuses is the area in which he truly excels.

Leaving the last row unfinished is a nice touch.

Sox hit the homer, and score 3. Arizona hits 2 singles and score 5. It usually takes the Sox 15 singles to score 5. Yikes

Perhaps sometime before the end of the season they could invite a juggler or a dancing bear into the clubhouse just to test the waters.

That $20 million was a woeful misallocation of resources.

The Phillies got a lot better after they booted him. As with players, I'll take the young guy over the mediocre veteran.

They'll call 2 up from Charlotte soon: Leury and Grandal. Just a disaster of an organization. But, it will all be blamed on LaRussa and Menechino.

effing Abreu

They've got to just play the young guys. It probably won't work, but it can't be worse than this crap.

I see that Pollock remains etched in the lineup and as leadoff hitter.

How about letting Engel play for a few days and let Pollock hit the pine (or the bricks). Engel can't be any worse.

Yea, he's on the (long, long) list.

This is the heart of the matter in one eloquent post. Bravo!

Rick Hahn fills holes with Cesar Hernandez and Josh Harrison. The Guardians dump their Cesar Hernandez on GMs like Rick Hahn and fills holes with rookies who make the all star team. it's just not a fair fight.

A good FO could do some things to reinvigorate the team in the offseason.

The guy they held onto until yesterday (when they needed room for Andrus) was even worse. These are high K guys -that voros stuff.

We needed a SP and he told Rodon to hit the road, and then picked Vince Velasquez. It was only when Lynn was hurt did he get Cueto. He picked up Kimbrel's contract and announced to the world he wanted to trade him (good way to get trade leverage) . He then signs Joe Kelly for a mutli-year contract at about twice what he's worth. He then jettisoned Kimbrel for yet another aging player who the Sox are going to be on the hook for next year for over $10 million. He signed Leury to a 3 year deal at 2x his market value. He spent over $30 million making the team worse. Meanwhile his farm system checked in at #30.

What? Hahn fixed no holes and spent over $30 Million fixing no holes. What he did was quintessential Hahn: lazy and incompetent.

Didn't Keppinger just quit? Lawrie, another impressive middle infielder from the annals of Hahn, quit. With his eye for veteran talent, no wonder Hahn was able to trade away Tatis and Semien. Speaking of salary, they aren't brining Pollock back, ffs, are they?

Yea, well that's why they signed him. This FO likes Leury and players like Leury. Rick Hahn's looking for the next Keppinger.

Why would JR protect RH? I understand his love for KW, but Hahn?

He is, but he's the man who, at best, tolerated the RH dog-and-pony show for the last decade, when he had the power to end it. Ditka got the Bears a Super Bowl, but they didn't keep him around for 17 more seasons. I suspect that KW will do some cleaning this offseason - but I doubt it goes deep enough. But put someone new in KW's position, and the house will get cleaned.

They really need to fire KW (or retire him). Make that move, and the rest of the jokers will be out in due time.

They are still using some c.2005 protocols. Maybe they could attend some seminars or something. Zoom in - it will save travel costs.

JR needs to buy the Guardians' front office.
