Go figure,the Sox are banking on a reliever a year from TJ to be one of their saviors. Do they look at the performance of most pitchers in that time frame after that surgery?

You can blame the 3B all you want, but the Sox would have still been in a whole lot of trouble if he made the play. Runner on 3rd, 1 out, and a pitcher who doesn't strike people out much on the bump. The bad throw just helped up get to the inevitable quicker.

Blackhawks announced they will not be re-signing Toews. Tonight is his final game as a Blackhawk.

The other big problem with this roster is it needs some changing, but Hahn can't trade anybody. Remember, he tried adding at the deadline, but couldn't, and he was supposedly more disappointed than us. Then said trades were going to be the big thing during the offseason. When he couldn't do anything at the Winter Meetings, he gave us the old,coming weeks and months line, even saying trades could occur during spring training. Nothing. No one will give them any value for their players. It is what is always is with this regime. Hope for a miracle I doubt there is an executive in professional sports that deserves to lose his job based on performance more than Hahn. He makes Gar Forman and Phil Emery look at least average..

I think it was time to move on, but coming to conclusions hes done after 30 or 40 ABs is crazy.

But spring training.

This Duran is unreal. i don't know how many splitters that hard his arm will be able to handle, but he's going to be great for a short while.

Any chance the Sox hit 2 balls fair this inning?

Check his road splits last year. I'm guessing it's just a fluke or in his head, but he is a pitcher like hitter on the road.

Besides being left handed, for $75 million, what does Benintendi bring offensively that Nick Madrigal did not?

This unp sucks on both sides of the plate.

It;s a shame. Maybe they can get someone to hit a bloop and have Robert nail one.

And I get that. They will still be picking players from the same sales bin, but maybe Getz picks someone Hahn wouldn't, and at worst it's a push.

Hahn has shown he can't pick a 2B. If they insist he remain GM, they need to fade him. Ask him who he likes at 2B, and eliminate that player from consideration. I am not kidding.

If someone doesn't get on for Robert, the Sox have very little chance today.

I don't have speakers right now but does this video come with circus music?

On a positive note, Gio has looked good today.

There was a reason he was available at that price. He's this year's Keppinger, Carlos Hernanadez, Josh Harrison, Leury. In other words, a guy whose heirs are very grateful someone employs Rick Hahn as a baseball executive.

It's beome all too common. I don't know if he knows much English, but he needs to go off on an umpire one of these days. Maybe that will get him some calls.

Benintendi bores me.

I agree. This TLR style of throwing guys anywhere doesn't work. The ball will eventually find them.

Maybe he could transition to something more his speed. There are a lot of things a guy like him could make a lot of money doing. And he might actually be good at them. Obviously, not a good MLB GM.

Why doesn't Hahn do the noble thing and resign?

He showed them yesterday why he couldn't play 1B.

Please burn all of Gavin Sheets' gloves. He should bat against RHP at home, and that's about it.
