Reese's bat falling to Pieces. Dreaded Low Energy ends the "rally."

Or not, lol.

Perfect, McGuire is up. Dreaded bases loaded situation for Sox. 3/27 right? Or is lower from yesterday? Probably gets a two-run single.

Moncada doesn't even count as a big bat anymore...

The whole problem is JR doesn't seem to be watching most of the games this season. Something has gotta give if this continues much longer. Batting coach changes in season are almost always temporary positives with few exceptions.

Cubs give back the error but can the Sox actually take advantage with this part of the batting order...?

One can easily argue over-resting players, especially with all the recent off days...is as responsible as anything for all the injuries.

In all fairness, Burger has to make that play when there is no margin for error offensively.

Who was just praising Burger...? More Cubs than Sox fans in attendance? Yikes. Six games back potentially and the Twins still have five in four days against Detroit. No Robert. No Anderson and two out including Graveman out for TOR. What could go wrong?

Well the only candidates for extension are Cease and Kopech but will JR agree? Seems they are determined to move in another direction with Giolito. And Cease still hasn't proven he can be consistently dominant against the really good teams.

Somehow the Red Sox are on the verge of catching the White Sox after how badly they looked weeks ago in Fenway... White Sox bullpen starting up. Cease nearing 100 pitches.

It also wouldn't be as much of a story were the White Sox 5-7 games up in first place...

That might be the only way to almost accidentally score the way this offense is going. At least he can occasionally put it in the seats.

You knew he was going to be hyped up going against TLR and one of the highest profile games for the Cubs all year.

Bunting at home when you already have a guy in scoring position and no outs? Sheesh.

If you are Boggs Gwynn Brett Carew Tim Anderson...sure you can steer the ball wherever you want like it's a magic wand in your hand.

Sounds great against Jays Rays Dodgers. Might as well be Sammy Sosa and Yolmer Sanchez.

Without Anderson and Robert, simply unwatchable. Hahn and TLR and KW and JR will now try to make it all about the strength/conditioning team and trainers.

Already posted...

Can hardly put any weight on it. Robert might miss TOR series, too. Yikes.

This one should be interesting…

Basically, a Cito Gaston or Felipe Alou type. I’m not even sure what that would look like anymore. A cross between Beltran and Sandy Alomar and the first two names I just mentioned…but definitely old enough to be respected and yet not too old at the same time. Of course, most from that generation are not overly into analytics, either. Earlier managing career Joe Maddon perhaps…while he still had something to prove and not too comfortable yet.

See Balta’s comment above. You just know he couldn’t resist. I just wish he spent an equal amount of time constructing the lineup in a way that would maximize already limited run production. I mean…Hahn speaks all the time with the media and yet never says anything memorable unless he’s endeavoring too hard to defend himself. You can talk in a truthful way without revealing anything if you so desire.

Then we just nuked another $15 million when we were only on the hook with Kimbrel for $1 million. Hahn will be fired before he admits he got the worst of both Kimbrel trades. It will be much easier to dump Harrison. He's the next scapegoat.

Sure. But to me, Francis Scott Key's words are about resistance and perseverance in the face of superior forces...with the odds heavily against them. It can have military implications, but there's no exclusivity. And I learned in high school that even if I found it personally distasteful, I even had the right to burn an American flag in protest. And that it was even my duty as a citizen to protest and continue to strive for a stronger union.
