The Sox cannot bat Avi and LaRoche in the same lineup. I think if you can somehow tinker with the hitting order and the pitching stays good; there is a small chance. I would say if they can add a average MLB for DH this lineup gets a lot better.

Going to keep beating this drum. If the Sox think they are going to get back in it this week, Soto should be getting playing time at C and DH. No way around it. LaRoche and Flowers are currently two weakest links on the team.
Avi too.
You guys want to make good money? On the prop bets on Bovada you can bet on how an AB will end. Just bet the max $1,000 every time that LaRoche will K. You'll pay your house off in no time flat.
Guys get pissed at LaRoche. He's suppose to be the clean up f***ing hitter FFS! He just Ks on 3-4 pitches now and doesn't f***ing walk.
Avi is what he is... still developing but won't amount to much without him hitting for power.
I'm done with LaRoche. We've seen this song and dance before for about 4 years. Just call up some triple A bat and stick him there; can't be much worse.

3-1 fastball, can't hit it. 3-2 fastball, can't hit it.
If you can't hit a fast ball on 3-1 when you are looking for one, you are bad
Beating a dead horse. TFlo is what he is.

They beat up Bauer, Kluber, and Carrasco. Stop and digest that for a while.
I think that's all fine and dandy but even a broken clock is right two times a day.

Even if he hits .400 I'll say the Sox made the right move. Good for him, though.
I just thought he should have been DH instead of LaRoche.
He is just bad this year for whatever reason.

Nice win. Saladino and Sanchez on defense have helped the team be less buffoon-ish. With Melky hitting and Saladino getting hits the lineup has been given a lift. Good win but I am not a believer.
As you shouldn't be. They are beating up on a s***ty AL Central opponent.
