Shockingly in a jam right after scoring a couple.

Yep. But it's still better than a weak double play ball

It's a HoF move

Now we're in trouble.

At least it isn't a dp opportunity

There we go.

Earned his way for just about any other manager.

?

I haven't seen the R's against. I thought Musk is a conservative darling. He's bringing jobs here which is an interesting mix. Our economy does well when y'all are paying big bucks for gas.

Someone has to take Keuchel's spot.

And those people putting on those stickers vote.

He's still recovering. His legs just aren't there. I'm not convinced he'll ever be back to All Star level, but I think next season will be better than this.

I agree.

I'm not a vehicle guy, I could care less, but not much less, about electric versus legacy vehicles. So from an impartial observer . . . I tow a trailer to remote areas without electricity. Currently the technology wouldn't work. I'll be traveling about 5,000 miles this summer and getting about 10 mph from my 3.5 Ecoboost. I will be off grid for weeks with no means to charge. Plus at about a 125 mile range when towing it would take me forever to get somewhere. Just like adding corn based products into fuel unintentionally caused problems for the poorest folks on the planet by raising the price of corn, electricity rates will increase as demand increases. This will place a strain on the poor who need electricity for basic needs. We also still need to work out paying for roads. Fuel taxes aren't being paid to fund the roads the electric cars drive on. Do we road tax electricity? Add an electronic vehicle tax on registrations?

He's so powerful he's raised them in every country. Worldwide! One call to Exxon, BP, Shell and we're at $2 a gallon. Why he allows those companies to earn such high profits is crazy.

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing.

True.

The narrative will be "he lead the Sox to their first back to back playoff appearances" . . .

I agree. It might not be a promotion or even a lateral move, but he'll get another chance.

Exactly. I don't think there is much Tony can do. I believe that's Frank, Howie, and Yoan working together to solve the problem. I think we'll agree Tony has done a poor job of selecting coaches. Although he has managed to hire friends and family, (Duncan and Katz) so he's got that going for him. Which then leads to a logical conclusion that if we can't get Tony out, replacing a couple coaches would probably be faster route to improvement.

Your post I responded to said Harrison and Garcia. I was discussing Harrison. I thought you would just assume that. I shouldn't have assumed you would.

When Garcia was re-signed, Tony called him an everyday player who happens to be in different positions each day. Tony intended you play him a lot all along. Which I'm not totally against. While I prefer the "Sunday lineup" approach to resting players, rotating daily who sits works for some rosters.

The only disagreement probably is I place less than 50% of the blame on the manager.

Welcome to Soxtalk. While not totally disagreeing, when Tony does things that no other manager would do, and it fails, that isn't because he's dumber than anyone here. More likely it's hubris and desperation.
