Martin to the rotation? That won't work if they want to dump that now ugly contract in June/July...

How can they mess this situation up now?

Had a feeling they were going to be ambushed on the road... yesterday took any remaining will to fight away. Robert starting to get hot again now. Not surprising against a fastball-dominant pitcher.

With that much money still due him?

The Reds are hungry…like the Orioles last year. Younger, and they hustle. Votto one of their few veterans remaining, and he has been out. Have been playing opponents pretty tough, the NL version of the Tigers in recent weeks. Greene might destroy the Sox lineup. Seems fans have been arguing Sox “more talented” all the way back to the Twins/Piranhas days…early 2000’s. JR’s whole scheme is essentially based on the belief that talent collections will gel eventually, but they usually don’t correlate to winning, team-oriented baseball.

What is a Hahn player, even? Everyone has their definition for KW Paddy and TLR…but Hahn’s signings typically have the most vague, nebulous identity. Certainly have been almost completely forgettable performance-wise.

Melky was a massive disappointment and clown most of his time with the Sox…KW had his equivalent in Rios. Both talented players that underachieved compared to their AL East peaks.

https://www.mlb.com/news/mets-sign-reliever-dominic-leone The problem isn't NOT signing guys like Leone and Chase Anderson. Its not protecting the middle of the pen guys like Lambert because there’s currently no swing man now who can go 2-3 innings. Maybe Banks…but other than Santos Middleton and Jimmy, trying hard to think of who you’d even want to stick around for a rebuild. Lopez Bummer Liam Kelly Graveman Diekman all on their way out.

Sosa and Romy... probably not. Hamilton hitting? Alberto?

At UGA...

AA pitchers almost always have better stuff but less command and less mastery of brealing stuff...

Biggest gut punch to the fan base in terms of ANY possibility of competing in the lousy AL Central this entire season. That's now 100% gone. Tigers and Reds will be favored over the White Sox at this point. Just dreadful situational hitting/lack of fundamentals and overall execution. Just zero question that Colome was going to give up a crooked inning at that point.

Too late... he's likely to be on the roster for 2023/24 and much likelier to be traded for pennies on the dollar just to save anything on that now ugly contract.

Couldn't use Yoshida's .320/956 ops 6 homers and 24 RBIs at all. Even McGuire at .340 with 7 RBIs.

Or that Benintendi's misleading 2022 ensconced in the middle of the Yankmees' juggernaut somehow erased the three previous replacement level seasons.

Analytics caught up here as well... Sox bunting and smart baseball, not so much.

Colume three years later is just ridiculous. Was already smoke and mirrors. Central sucks. Both Volume and Hamilton on Twins after leaving Sox... both cast aside.

Yogi Berra-isms won't help this team much.

Will walk Benintendi for Hamilton.

How can Sosa be on a big league roster?

Swing away might hit it.

Sosa Grandal Benintendi oops

Pagan terrible at least Stewart has great stuff.
