Abreu is not on the Top Ten list of Sox problems to be addressed right now.

Protest by San Francisco's Gabe Kapler brings support from some fellow managers, but Chicago White Sox's Tony La Russa differs https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34000971/protest-san-francisco-gabe-kapler-brings-support-some-fellow-managers-chicago-white-sox-tony-la-russa-differs https://kaplifestyle.com/2022/05/27/home-of-the-brave/ But we weren’t given bravery, and we aren’t free. The police on the scene put a mother in handcuffs as she begged them to go in and save her children. They blocked parents trying to organize to charge in to stop the shooter, including a father who learned his daughter was murdered while he argued with the cops. We aren’t free when politicians decide that the lobbyist and gun industries are more important than our children’s freedom to go to school without needing bulletproof backpacks and active shooter drills.

Robertson even was at 94 tonight for some of his pitches...he's going to fetch a decent prospect at the TDL in August.

The average OPS was probably 30-35 points higher at that point in season compared to this year, maybe even 40, but the point still stands. And that's with Pollock missing the 624 cutoff barely, McGuire and Leury too.

That would have been a million to one bet against three year ago...

He had 2010 and 2012 but yeah no playoff appearances. Meanwhile the Red Sox kept the better player in Devers...even if they were wrong on Benintendi and Kopech looks on track to be a star.

Yet 23-10 in 2016 might be quite a few games over .500 higher than the 2022 Sox reach unless something changes dramatically like LaRussa or less likely Hahn resigning.

Well that 0-3 start isn't encouraging. And we know how many times they've run down the Twins when we were trailing them...basically just 2005 and 2008.

Torii Hunter.

Preserve the pen for Sunday when we have had four off days in a week and another on Monday.

The Twins have the Yankees and Rays after five against the Tigers in four days (Mon-Thurs). They're going to be at least 4-2 or 3-3 and 9 or 11 games over .500 over the next 6 coming into the weekend. Of course the Sox have the Blue Jays offense and Rays pitching and defense to contend with, too.

More free bases ceded. I mean we can come back from 6-1 down quite easily, right?

He just might get a chance with another pitching coach. Will be unlikely to make much of a difference. In fact, if you were to rank everyone on the coaching staff and front office, only Katz and Paddy would survive a hostile takeover.

Any update on Colas? Personal/mental health day? Day to day injury? In the box score they show him as on the bench at least.

You really believe Grandal’s going to successfully throw him out?

A whip of 2 is not exactly sustainable. How many stolen bases do we just cede to the other team? Thankfully Abreu snagged that throw or it would be 4-5 to 0 now and game over.

This team really seems broken right now.

How could anyone possibly think he could play RF when he was acquired and say it with a straight face? How could the scouts sign off on that one?

This entire organization needs a reboot. Strength/conditioning and trainers. The front office. New manager and coaching staff minus Katz…and he might end up following Giolito out the door.

But then the Guardians have the easiest June. Someone put up respective strength of schedules and they were pretty comparable…especially when you consider how the Twins make the Sox schedule look harder and vice-versa. The biggest question is can the Sox do more than play .500 against them after getting swept in the first meeting? You’re not going to get another stretch where they lose 3/4 to the Tigers and Royals at home…but that KC offense is so much more dangerous than ours with Benintendi, Witt Jr., and Merrifield raking and Perez coming back.

Naquin and Drury. What’s that going to cost the Sox? Because there’s unlikely to be another headline-grabbing move unless it’s a change of scenery deal for Moncada or Jimenez, and both of those seem highly unlikely.

Need to see the active rosters at the end of the day on August 3rd. And managers as well.

Jesus, hard to even pick up what he’s saying. I would make a Top Gun joke, but Val Kilmer has gone through hell and back with his voice.

Witt Jr. really tearing the cover off the ball recently but still might not be enough.

https://www.mlb.com/twins/tickets/specials/top-gun When I watched this one I thought they referred to Iran but realized I must have misheard…and then is there coastline with mountains/snow that close to the water…so don’t think so. Should have used China, haha, like Spider-Man with the Statue of Liberty featured, it was never going to be shown here in a million years the way things are trending politically. https://taskandpurpose.com/entertainment/top-gun-enemy-aircraft/ “Based on the timing the of the script-writing process and Top Gun’s actual release, the go-to assumption is that the MiG-28 is a Soviet fighter. However, the markings on the fictional MiG-28 aren’t Soviet. The MiG-28 in the film has a single red star surrounded by a yellow circle on their tail as their only marking, while Soviet aircraft traditionally had a white trim to their red star (just to cover my bases, the North Korean Air Force uses a blue trim). However, one country does, in fact, use yellow trim on their red star insignia: China. That the enemy was never officially established in Proser's early draft or Jack Epps Jr's final script. This was likely intentional: villainous governments in the movies are routinelyleftvague as to not piss off their real-world counterparts, with the exception of North Korea, possibly because North Korea doesn’t have a strong market for movies or video games. Indeed, the video game “Homeland” and the Red Dawn rebootfilm, both of which involve a North Korean invasion of the U.S., made course corrections in production to keep from angering the Chinese government.”
