Dont know why you bother. Just let his posts wither and die. He somehow doesn't comprehend that while rebuilding you will have many bad players that will be released all the time that no one else wants . It's like seeing the sun go down and screaming ,"we are all going to freeze to death, we're doomed !! " every day when its a natural occurrence. Chicken little syndrome.

It's obvious they miss Elko 😉

Eww ! That must not smell good at all .

Thank you ! You too !

Game already started.

I think more young Sox fan rock 'n'rollers including me wanted to see the Sox back then for a great price so me , one of my brothers and Dad went. Less people want to go to a Pope themed mass in a ballpark. Ptatc said there was 20K there. Disco Demolition estimates vary. It was SRO and lots of people were turned away . Maybe more than 60K showed up. Plus it was highly advertised on WLUP the rock station promoting it. The Mass was a lot more low key.

I like Elko because he seems like a good guy who has been making the most of his talent and had the reputation of a gamer which translates to leader. He's been successful at all levels. I know MLB is best in the world and Elko may not ever succeed there even if given a bigger chance which is hard to come by with his pedigree. Enjoyment of games is not based purely on winning or losing in the current state of the franchise. As a fan I try to imagine sitting next to his family in the stands. I wouldn't be yelling "Elko you suck" like some crazed maniac who discards people's feelings just because I paid for a ticket and think I now have the right to be a dick . I saw a video recently of a Sox fan in Houston who pushed a guy after he had a drink poured on top of his head from behind. He then got viciously punched in the face by another Astros fan. I have no idea what led to all that but some fans are assholes and just wearing an opposing teams uniform sets them off. I went to Sox game in Dodger stadium with my Dad and 2 kids when they were all visiting me at the same time. Very rare occurrence since my Dad lived in Oak Lawn and me in So Cal and my kids took a Greyhound from AZ. to see me since they lived with their mother. We weren't loud or on obnoxious just 3 generations of a family enjoying baseball. I may have had a Sox hat on. Probably in my mid 40s at the time .Some assholes sitting about 5 rows behind me threw peanuts at the back of my head a couple of times. What am I supposed to do surrounded by Dodgers fans with 2 children who were tweens and my Dad who was probably in his late 60s at the time? It gives you a greater appreciation of how to act as a fan. It doesn't matter if it's a game thread or at a game. So brave of those 2 young adult males to get a kick out of trying to provoke me into a confrontation when it was apparent it was a family outing. This is why fans piss me off a lot more than players.

Can I get a full report please ?

Ask and you shall receive !

He was at a career high for pitches. He wasn't coming back in or he was lol.

New Vargas is an extra base machine.

5 game hit streak for Robert and 2 out bingo !

Ha well damn turn your back for a day there's someone new playing 1st base. Ryan Noda acquisition thread is next on the reading list .

Once the avalanche starts you can't stop it. Fans don't develop hitters, they say they stink . There's always pushback when fans pick out a likable young man to root for against the odds of his pedigree . It's much easier to be right saying someone sucks than to be kind and have a little patience.

He knows they aren't going anywhere and he's keeping guys fresher. Getting guys experience pinch hitting, pinch running and playing different positions . The position players outside of the older position player guys like Tauchman,Slater and Rojas have mostly stayed healthy.

No storybook return today for Baldwin 😟

Boring Baldwin.Ho hum another Home Run

Fire Sacamano 😉

Ever since the new Pope the Sox has had a decent amount of good news. Winston Salem Dash led off the game with B2B2B HRs by Antonacci ( draft pick playing very well recently back from injury) ,Jeral Perez ( came with Vargas in the Fedde/Kopech trade who leads the league in RBI and 2nd in HR with 12) and Braden Montgomery who many considered the top piece in the Crochet trade.

Considering they were last in the AL the last 2 years and are now middle of the pack is directly related to guys like Meidroth, Vargas, Teel ,Tauchman, Quero really improving the amount of walks they are getting. Getz has been targeting guys with good eyes and wanting better ABs. Even Zavala who's hot right now takes his walks.

Sox took 8 walks tonight and over the last 2 weeks they lead the AL in walks .The Getz vision in action.

Ozzie in post game talking about Elko sounds like he's saying Urkle 😂 as in Steve Urkle from Family matters.

1st Sox win with 4 or fewer hits since Sept 23rd, 2023.

Sox with only 1 error in their last 8 games turned 3 DP tonight after 5 on Sunday.

Oh the 1st run is the winning run if you never lose the lead isn't it ? I always think of it as the run that was 1 more than the opposing team had. In this case the 3rd run.
