Future closer in the game. Velocity is down but secondary offerings worked there...

That might be too much of an ask but 775 works...at least this depressed offensive year.

2019 and 2021 Lance Lynn combined those two years highest fWAR in AL.

As long as he stays healthy, that's the main point right now...and making contact.

Clutch hitting tonight. Robert continues to pound opposite side.

Vaughn's starting to discover he really belongs at the big league level this year...

Pollock up to a 670 ops. Frozen rope almost hit too hard. Season high since the paternity leave. 36-15 streak by Sox over Tigers going back four years.

Never easy. This team just doesn't do blowouts or even comfortable wins. TLR will go for the pitcher's individual win and this game will get away somehow...

The problem, just like Engel, is what to do with the prolonged cold streaks that will inevitably arise...

Probably not a great idea to have Dylan throw 100+ pitches four consecutive games...

Now how do we cover those four innings...? Well it's certainly better than the opposite problem of eating innings. Cease continues to bedevil the Tigers.

True ineptitude.

Battle of bad at bats...

Just don't ever load the bases again. That used to put pressure on opposing pitchers. For the Sox, somehow manages to put more pressure on their own hitters.

Opposite field again...Robert has turned into Madrigal. Why doesn't he just watch 2019 minor league mashing videos until it sinks in?

That's 10x worse than Rodon in the 2020 postseason. At least Renteria knew the quality was there and wanted to utilize it somehow. If he said Matt Foster or Ruiz have shown flashes but not consistently...that would be one thing

(Reinsdorf said through a spokesman he isn’t planning on commenting on La Russa or the team at this time.) That's the highlight of the article...until this: $3.75 million per season for TLR, and through 2023? We probably didn't even pay Robin, Torborg, Manuel, Fregosi, Bevington and Lamont that combined...and Ozzie on his initial contract was surely peanuts as well.

More lawsuits...

Perez, Haseley, Adolfo the next best hitter up at Charlotte to replace Burger? What a complete and utter mess. Might have been Yermin, lol. Have to run TLR back out there and watch Hahn make a further mess of things due to the classic injury excuse now.

They took two outfielders away, the other Luis Gonzalez.

Or, like, actual outfielders.

Sell high on who though? Vaughn? Graveman or Hendriks? Giolito? Abreu? Burger?

Next to none…unless a contender can convince him to only DH.

See Konerko, Paul. This franchise. At least they let Thome go to the Dodgers.

Yet we're still stuck with the logical conclusion moving on is better than forcing Vaughn into the outfield a third year. Trading Andrew to free up 1B for a final season seems even more illogical. But then you have what, Pollock and Conforto as your corners next year, lol?
