LOl you are too funny. We were rebuilding he was just the kind of piece that you look for during a rebuild ! ANd now he's great right when we need him most. You take a chance on a guy like that every single chance you get, no ifs, ands or buts about it . Who the hell can be counted on on the Sox right now ? Maybe you didn't notice but Ely is always hurt, Moncada is out, Lynn is out, Crochet is out , Robert is always hurt ,Madrigal got hurt and traded, Every single pitcher in our starting rotation has had Tommy John , Kopech missed a ton of time. You are amazing .

and he would have been even cheaper back in 2017 and 2018 which is when i was talking about acquiring him . JFC do I have to spell everything out to you ?

He was also young and affordable back then . If you never ever thought about getting an all world baseball player who is every bit as good now as Trout when healthy , there's just no reasoning with you.

Because imagine an OF with Buxton and Robert in it . Buxton is legit MVP candidate right now . Leading MLB in Hr a great fielder and fast as anyone

that is just so so sad lol

Bummer has no idea where his slider is going.

When Buxton was getting injured all the time I really wanted to trade for him before we ever had any thoughts about Robert or maybe right after we bought Robert

Does Bummer ever throw a 1st pitch strike when he faces his 1st batter ?

everyone loves good Mendick

I always liked the song. I've been in a cave for forty days Only a spark to light my way I wanna give out, I wanna give in This is our crime This is our sin But I still believe, I still believe Through the pain and through the grief Through the lives, through the storms Through the cries and through the wars Oh, I still believe Lie, lie, lie Lie, lie, lie Ooh I'm flat on my back out at sea Hopin' these waves don't cover me I'm turned and tossed upon the waves When the darkness comes I feel the grave But I still believe, I still believe Through the cold and through the heat Through the rain and through the tears Through the crowds and through the cheers Oh, I still believe Lie, lie, lie Oh-oh I'll march this road, I'll climb this hill Up on my knees if I have to I'll take my place up on this stage I'll wait 'til the end of time for you like everybody else Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh I'm out on my own walkin' the streets I look at the faces that I meet I feel like I, like I want to go home What do I feel? What do I know? But I still believe, I still believe Through the shame and through the grief Through the heartache, through the tears Through the waiting, through the years For people like us in places like this We need all the hope that we can get Oh, I still believe Lie, lie, lie Oh, yeah yeah Lie, lie, lie

I'm sure it's right . I think they were 2 games over .500 after the ASG last year and combined with 2 games under .500 now gets you at .500 in the last 92. Might've been some games in the 46-46 that were pre ASG.

If you recall that play , the 3rd baseman went to 2nd base 1st to get the force out but Leury beat the throw and then the relay to 1st base still got Eloy after he half-assed it in a close game where 2 runners on might have been the difference.

You are a brave soul and an inspiration to all !

I included Katz because no one from management should be excluded. Besides that since I have always been among the more vocal re: everything Rodon, Katz should have had some input last year about how they were abusing him. I realize that when you are pitching so well that the temptation is great to let him just keep pitching. However he and the rest of whoever else they use to keep players healthy was not applied to Rodon last year and I have my doubts when the same people are handling Kopech .

This team is just horrible on the road. It's why I wanted the HFA last year so badly. I have no idea why a team could be so different on the road than at home but at this point maybe they need a hypnotist. Their heads are so screwed up. I never would have thought that Abreu musing about his retirement could actually make the whole team act as if they were ready to retire and get as many injuries as if they were old people running around out there. I'm not saying Abreu set some kind of tone with his comments because each player is responsible for their own attitude, but it has made me wonder. Other than that I will now join the chorus. Fuck Tony La LA LA LA LA Russa-land

I said it half jokingly and never thought that the banner would actually be changed. However since we seem to be a superstitious lot I would suggest our strength and conditioning guy and throw KW in there for good measure. Also might want to put the coaching staff in it, Super Joe, Katz and Boston and whoever the hell is the bench coach. Leury is going to play no matter what with all the injuries. After all that's why he's here but putting players in the banner is not my recommendation since at this point we need every player available and having the upper management and coaches in the banner will undoubtedly make the players better.

No more players in it. Having TLR in the banner will take care of Leury.

It will take a lot more than you. @Chicago White Sox tried it in the OP to start the game thread. Big fail on that one . Nice effort though.

And what month was it when they shit canned Eaton ? V V has been a project nothing more when they obtained him. Unfortunately he's a major league project instead of a minor league one.He'll probably get all the way through June to try to find a formula that works and he'll end up back in long relief.

I think it's time we had JR, TLR , Hahn and Southpaw in the banner. Southpaw is our only lefty. See what I mean ! The banner is the jinx. Everyone in it is either hurt or playing poorly.

Even the guys Soxtalk wanted are getting seriously hurt. I think it's all our fault.

I was kind of thinking that his play has earned him playing time but Vaughn should be the regular in LF full time now just as you always wanted and Sheets is going to DH more against RHP . You just better hope that the last few days when Vaughn collided with infielders doesn't become habitual. If that was Eloy we never would've heard the end of it. With Vaughn it's mostly crickets. I have no problem with people liking Vaughn, he's a very likable player. But usually liking him translates into people disliking Sheets more than is necessary. Sheets can't track down a flyball in the gap and it's Sheets sucks. Sheets isn't given the same rope in the OF that Vaughn is given. Granted Vaughn played LF fairly well last year and the sample size so far is too small to make much of it but Vaughn and Sheets are both racking up negative defensive WAR right now. We need Sheets LH bat whether or not people want to admit it.

And once again we are in lock step. I sent a PM to @fathom a while ago explaining my theory on Eloy. If I remember right I always thought it would be his back that gave him problems and that he would never consistently pull the ball.

Eloy probably told to hustle down the line after he lollygagged it the other day and this is what happens.

Yankees win on a pinch hit gapper by Gleyber Torres. Yankees fans throwing things at Guardians OF's . Yankee player telling them to cut that shit out.
