What is with Moncada not giving way to Anderson nearly every time he’s called off

“Weird game” says Jason No, this is just our bad lineup and defensive set theres nothing weird about it

So are we now even on Jake Lamb futures?

Damn I guess I have to get a refund on this plane ticket I bought for Lamb to fly out of town tonight

OMG

Lamb is like the son of a little league coach. He’s going to play occasionally no matter how much he sucks

Why not just put Mercedes at 1st? Same defense, way better stick, no bad vibes

Can we get him in CF then?

1) COME BACK FROM THE BAR 2) STOP DRINKING 3) PUT VAUGHN AT FIRST 4) PUT LAMB IN LEFT

WHY IS LAMB PLAYING FIRST

Except he plays 1st base where you expect massive production.

Not trying to be obtuse, but how is Astudillo a ML first baseman? He doesn’t seem to have much in the walks or power department and he’s almost 30.

Where’s Coach Green? Somebody tell La Russa that Lamb and Leury are who we thought they were

Investment savvy genius Reinsdorf spends all this money on payroll and brings in literally a stupid bum to manage the team La Russa is like De Niro at the end of Jackie Brown. Just a pathetic shell loser version of himself.

The follow up questions should be "so you don't think Billy Hamilton can get the bat on the ball there? Then why is he batting?"

?

I concede your point but it’s likely the Sox would have made the playoffs in 1994 if it wasn’t for the strike, and in 2006 they won’t 90 games and missed it, and I think we all know that was somewhat rough luck. I suppose the question I would ask back to you is how many wins you think we lose if Robert’s injury is 6 weeks and how many do we win back with a trade and what are we giving up?

The Sox have gotten at least Eloy’s equivalent WAR value out of Mercedes thus far, and probably have been better defensively in left, even with Vaughn Its likely Robert is gone six weeks, how much WAR do you really lose? Assuming he’s a 5 WAR player we lose 1.25 WAR and probably pick up .3 WAR from his replacements the bullpen has been brutal at times, Giolito hasn’t pitched well, Keuchel has regressed, our backups look weak, Abreu is seriously showing his age...and yet we are 15-12, dead on pace for 90 wins. yes, I know weak teams, but Seattle has played well and the entire AL has been inconsistent, this appears to be anyone’s league to take who gets hot at the end. Sox can do that with Robert and Eloy both back in September. I suppose I understand the knee jerk reaction to trade at this point, but in my mind we are weathering an incredible storm and still fine record wise. I don’t like the idea of trading anything away when we are likely looking at a 1-win loss over the next six weeks.

I guess I think this team at full strength and playing well has the talent and ability to beat anyone in the AL

Well at least they finally “sent a message” although I don’t know what the message is

With as many problems as this team has had, if we can continue to hover just above a .500 record until we get Robert back, i think this team is still in great shape to straighten itself out and go on a tear where they win 15/20 and take control of this division, especially given how the twins have struggled so far. I can’t imagine this royals record will last.

Provided this holds up, this is our first series loss since....the opening series at Anaheim.

Pitching to Ramirez in this situation (chef kisses fingers) hit him next time on the first pitch, Cody.

How does Jose Ramirez always do absolutely everything against us
