Not a huge fan of that lineup, but whatever. I'd like Eaton to be in there since we really need his lefty bat atm.

Moncada and Grandal could certainly hit in the 2 spot.

Madrigal is already choking in a consistent basis while batting lower in the order... Do we really want him leading off?

@Blackout Friday

It's mind boggling how many bad base running and fielding gaffes he has had in his very short career. I understand a few, but he has had them with regularity. At what point can we say the scouting reports were wrong and he has a poor baseball IQ?

Rodon was hitting 98, his breaking stuff looked good, and he had good control. I've got an eye for this stuff. Trust me.

It's about what we saw, not the results

Bro did you watch any of spring training? Rodon was dealing.

Keep carrying water for Ricky.

Stop it. Last year Foster and Marshall wouldn't blow those games. Those guys were absolute nails last year. Ricky got extremely lucky with the bullpen quality last year, and he still manager to blow it. TLR gets this team past the A's, without question.

Ricky got lucky with an elite bullpen. Imagine TLR with the bullpen performing that well. The Sox may have been in the world series last year if TLR was manager.

The players play. The managers don't. The players blew this game, not La Russa.

He's been respectful. Who cares if he posts here? I'm ok with getting opinions from fans of other teams, especially if they're respectful

Yes.

It's like people don't understand that Hahn has a limited payroll to work with.

The mods really dropped the ball on that one.

Come on man, out with it

If Ricky was managing this team, Yermin doesn't play tonight and start 8-8. That has been the single most enjoyable part of this season. Even if you ignore that TLR managers circles around Ricky, that alone makes the managerial replacement worth it.

You can tell he hangs dong when they show his pants

Cali is advocating for him to be moved to 1st base, not a call up or anything. This proves nothing. I'm also not so sure you are an unbiased 3rd party.

Having Crochet and Kopech in the bullpen is just ridiculous.

Get somebody else warmed up plz

Last year? We've been championing him since 2019. Sorry man.

I will find an independent 3rd party with no skin in the game to do a deep dive into our post history to see which of us 3 first supported Yermin

Crochet looking pretty unhittable
