    It was a great career, Jose, but what's up this season?

    Jose Abreu is 4-for-62 with one RBI. Must be frustrating for Jose. U think if this keeps up he'll hang 'em up? Of course he's always started slowly but yikes 4-for-62 is pretty Darin Erstad-ish. (forgive me for starting a new thread but with the Sox 3-21 I think you can forgive me. Not like there's much to discuss).

    He lied about his age and/or stopped taking steroids

    I have watched him a lot since he was drafted.  Just a good baseball player. Balanced swing from both sides. Probably better with a little more juice as a lefty.  Controls the zone pretty well.  Above average speed, but not a burner like Ellis.  Can put a charge into the ball for a skinnier guy. His second double tonight was crushed. Good defender in both the infield and the outfield.  Has played 7 positions as a pro.  OK at short and centerfield. Better at 2b, 3b, and the corners.  Was the MVP of the mid-major Colonial Athletic league where he played 2b. His Dad was a prominent player for Clemson back in the day. 

    So you're saying we found Ben Zobrist 2.0?

    Since it seems to be leaning this way (about his son) - what should we expect out of him as an owner?

    Look at the Bulls. The VP/GM duo is an absolute disaster. Any normal organization would have fired them by now, but they still have a job. It's basically the same old Reinsdorf BS.

    Im not saying these are great examples, but they immediately come to mind :

    Dead - Jermaine Dye. Which was usually followed with references to the Altered Beast video game intro “Rise from your grave.”

    Choke Crede

    Jizz Can - Luis Vizcaino 

    Botch - Billy Koch

    Jermaine Dead is what I was thinking of. Classic. 

    What should Getz do with LuBob?

    If you could package Robert, a starting pitcher, and a bullpen arm to a contender in July, it could potentially bring a great haul. You always have to see what teams are willing to give up.

    Robert would require an unprecedented return, assuming his injury didn't significantly diminish his value.

    Outscored 27 to 5 in the series. Competitive team, am I right Getz?

     

    And at this point, it feels like Benintendi WANTS to be DFA, so he can get paid and go sit at home. He certainly doesn't look like a guy who wants to turn a franchise around, for sure. 367 OPS, GMAFB, organization is getting EVERYTHING it deserves, with the clown show in charge.

    Soxtalk owes TLR an apology

    Not even joking here. Soxtalk RIPPED Tony to shreds for telling players not to hustle all the time. Look at what has happened to our team for hustling to first. Yoan went down with a terrible looking injury. Eloy went down running to first, AGAIN. Robert tore his hip flexor running to first, then pulled it again recently while rounding first. 

     

    Tony knew his personnel. He knew that he had a bunch of players made of glass. He got demolished for it, but he was right. You can't have any of the "big 3" hustling at this point. They are getting destroyed from it. I know Soxtalk's MO is "blame Tony and Pedro for everything", but Tony was correct here.

    In 2021, he tore the muscle in the midsubstance not from the bone. That's why there was no surgery. It would have been easier if he would have avulsed it. 

    This is probably a 6 week injury. They may be more cautious due to the history of injuring the same muscle.

    Is this something that can be a reoccurring issue due to the previous complete tear?
