He didn’t signal foul after it happened

For example, in a couple of weeks at Cleveland, it’s projected the Sox will face two LHP

Literally didn’t see a single quote about it

Again, kudos to him for trying, but he’s been awful out there

Don’t disagree, would say the same for the other starting outfielders

That was based on his sister tweeting about it being possible. Would also say that no one outside the organization has any clue what they’re doing. A lot of the well known reporters thought for sure Thorpe would be up this week.

He might be running out of a position to play. If Bonemer is solid in CF, Peters moves to LF.

FWIW next scheduled LHP is 9/11 vs Cardinals. Pham leading off would be the worse thing to ever happen on that day (yes, sarcasm)

You really don’t think he’s not going to be starting in a corner OF spot against LHP? I wouldn’t call that the 28th man. And yes, they should have known at the deadline that hitting LHP with their outfield was a huge issue. I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s batting leadoff against LHP next time they face one (which doesn’t look for a long time actually)

It’s strange because they supposedly loved him prior to 2025. I think this is more Venable adores Pham.

Sure, and that’s why they needed another corner outfielder at the deadline.

I don’t think he’s a bad clubhouse guy. I do wonder how the fit will be on a team that is unserious in the dugout in a good way. I’m not really worried though, Vasil has the power of the wand

I spy Jo Adell

Biggest issue I have is that he’s just not good anymore. Hate this habit of acquiring players who are having terrible seasons and putting them into a pennant race.

Potentially yes, as if they make the postseason, they’re possibly going to see a lot of LHP (Yankees, Red Sox, Guardians, Orioles)

By sub do you mean PH or being a platoon guy?

Yep, outside of looking to see how Bonemer did, I don’t think I’ve ever been less interested in how the minor leaguers are doing. That’s fine though, futuresox still does a great job of covering it all.

He’s replacing one of the starters vs LHP (which needs to happen)

Antonacci now is at -11.2 fWAR defensively (only behind Torkelson) and -7 OAA. I give him credit for trying out there, but I don’t think this is a long term solution.

Orioles win again as Cowser with one of the best defensive plays you will ever see

Yep, said it was one of his favorite players

He’s a Braden or Ant replacement vs LHP

I’ve said this before, but Taylor just doesn’t look like a starter to me. Leave him in this role, he’s so damn valuable. How about trading Braden and more for a starter and signing Seiya?

can’t wait to see these amazing changes for Doyle. He looks like a DFA candidate to me.

Really wish they tried Bonemer in CF earlier in the year in AA.
