Would rather have Mendick at first base, sheesh.

Great, of course another error with Lamb in the line-up. At least it’s not on TA, handcuffed himself on the catch.

Because Sano is underhitting Grandal...and facing a really tough RHP in Lynn. Grab some bench. And they couldn’t afford to keep CJ Cron or Ehire Adrianza for insurance.

(Not) Whitey Herzog is good as long as he’s not acting...most of his docs are solid, if occasionally overbearing.

You’re asking for Sox fans to not complain...lol...that just isn’t going to happen, based on times like this (see 2003-2006–2008-2010-12-16) when we get just a little too overconfident or full of ourselves from the praise of national baseball media. Even 2005 and last year, we had a lot of late season drama. Obviously, three of those seasons led to post season victories. But not often enough.

Sabathia should be in the HoF...just not sure he quite makes it until Veteran’s Committee vote.

Yeah, Boras Corp was looking for the almost guaranteed starting shot, and a struggling Lopez was his main competition...moreso than Kopech.

Well, that Vaughn montage was dumb. Should have played music from The Natural...outfield lights shattering, sparks flying, etc. Yermin’s winning the Sports Razzie so far, by a mile.

DeScalafini or Gausman would have given us the best rotation in baseball...if not already there. Lynn is throwing exactly how Don Cooper would had he had real talent and not just the attitude and portly shape.

Has to be more than that...

This is the End, our Only Friend, the end...of our elaborate plans, the end.

Yet another catcher’s interference? Really? Who is in charge of catchers for our staff? Jerry Narron?

Well, we haven’t put Lamb at second base yet. Buddy Bell Special. Poor Royals, down 4-0, could be on their way to an eleven game losing streak. Unfortunately, we’re not getting a second crack at Mr. Lynch tomorrow.

Pineda has really put on weight...don’t remember him at this size with the Yankees.

Fan went down like Donaldson run over by Hamilton... Backdraft? Benetti, really? People or firefighters getting blown up in an explosion is really that funny ? Scott Glenn and Kurt Russell might disagree.

TA, $250 Million Man.

You go, Wrath of Sox Man/Math...! Keep on keepin’ on. Otherwise, we’ll all be forced to read The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale in order to be SoxTalk posters.

Somehow have a feeling even less will notice...but probably treated better than the men in South Korea, haha.

Let’s go Cards fans, try to get a sellout for the 24th...help out our acquisition budget for June/July.

For me, it was the possibility Robert might never be the same moreso than anything to do with LaRussa...

No, not well enough...

Don’t think he’s bothered by stuff like that as easily as Lucas...just focuses 100% on the opponent in front of him, almost with blinders on.

Lamb hitting second, really? Lamb was/is 9 for 31 against Maeda, with three doubles and two homers... SSS, 1 for 3 with a homer and 2 RBI’s versus Pineda...

Now the big question is how much can be attributed to TLR, the coaching staff or just the personnel on the roster (GM)? Beyond that, how much is it free swinging Robert, Jimenez and Engel being sidelined so far? Baserunning, I can buy there’s been a concerted decision to attack more often and more aggressively. What is the HR rate compared to this point in 2019...as comparing April/May 2021 weather to July/August 2020 isn’t going to make much sense because there’s no way to isolate for changes in the game ball.

Stiever, no way...not ready for prime time.
