Fathom keeps mentioning Cease as next chip to fall for 2023 lol. Might as well have two TJ.

Of Sox current situation, but not total transformation possible with a new hitting coach, training/strength & conditioning staff, revamped analytics group, international scouting budget outside Cuba (please finally make some inroads in the DR for heaven’s sake!), Hahn and TLR.

Hahn, because JR is responsible for coaxing TLR back. Hahn is totally emasculated, for lack of a better term coming to mind. Then the money wasted on KW’s retirement glide path to Instagram-friendly world travel.

$5 million? Really? This made me laugh out loud. Im pretty sure he has more money/real estate investments/net worth than me. At least I have to hope so, wondering what’s he is doing with all of his money. Rick Hahn Net Worth : $ 1.5 Million Lets check out updated 2021 Rick Hahn Net Worth Income Salary report which is given below : Rick Hahn’s Salary / Income: Per Year: $ 400,000 Per Month: $ 32,000 Per Week: $ 8,000 Per Day: Per Hour: Per Minute: Per Second: $ 1140 $ 19 $ 0.3 $ 0.05 https://www.650.org/en/wiki/rick-hahn-net-worth-income-salary-earnings-biography

Daniels and Avila. Minasian in LA. Colorado. Arizona. You can argue Dayton Moore I suppose. Pittsburgh? That would put him closer to 24-30. A small or mid-market team would be doomed with him in charge because of all the wasteful FA spending. He has one niche, but the Guardians and Twins do it just as well or better. Trade Cruz/Abreu for frontline starter in Ryan. Run a very solid farm system consistently. System filled with abundant international talent like Arraez and Miranda. Trade Giolito/Berrios instead of extending. Trade for Mahle to fortify rotation vs. no moves whatsoever. Just Diekman. Extend Buxton for bargain numbers and know when to move on from guys like Miguel Sano. Get creative/cost effective with putting together bullpen, rotation and a Top 3-5 Free Agent, taking realistic shots at superstars no occasionally like Carlos Correa.

The time for honoring the Sox will soon be at an end.

Well they are second in batting average, at least in the AL. But .259, not .300. And 9th/15 teams in terms of scoring runs.

Yet 7 in his last 61 at bats for Keston Hiura...

Has anyone ever interviewed Jeremy Haber about what he has successfully learned or adopted from observing Rick Hahn for quite some time now... about how to run a supposedly "first-rate" operation?

Therapy. Stockholm Syndrome.

Suspended game picked up later in season lol. Or Sunday Guardians' debacle. Stadium lights catastrophic failure.

Don't think they would care all that much. Tony would probably say "good riddance."

The pieces just don't fit together. The veterans broke down before the core peaked together. Maybe they never will. But it's too early to completely write off our starting pitching (even Giolito), Robert,Vaughn, Jimenez, Anderson...until they have a new manager and hitting coach/philosophy change. That can make a world of difference. Look at 5 1/2 months of 2012. The biggest problem outside all of the cosmetic ones is figuring out what they have left of Grandal and Moncada and whether to cut bait or go all out to "fix" what already amounts to sunk costs. Giolito, number three. And how to break Abreu Vaughn Jimenez logjam. Who knows, maybe they finally strike gold with Colas and Montgomery for once in a decade or two like Beckham and Viciedo their rookie seasons... But it won't happen under TLR. That much is already baked into the cake.

Ouch! Points for not sugarcoating it a bit.

Here comes our old friend Tony LaRussa. Curse of the eighth inning strikes again. We are the anti Guardians.

Shocking isn't it? McGuire would have "hand"led it much better, of course. Shortsighted.

pitches 3 5 got the zone pretty clearly oh well

Closer to Jimi Hendrix Experience. Minus the c drugs to dull the pain.

Classic Sox Joe Kelly. Still not loving him Tony. But wait until you see him in 2023!

second in al batting average, but ninth in scoring. hard to do but just a few few walks and terrible hitting with runners in scoring position. situational hitting/lack of solid contact too many ground balls.

Mateo will get 8-12 stolen bases if he can actually reach base.

When has it been otherwise?
