Benintendi fucks it again in LF. I’ve stated here several times last couple weeks that Sox need to stick with him due to their future commitments to him, but he’s making it tougher to justify by the day. He’s just an awful OF.

Are we sure Crochet is good?
I mean, he has a 3.86 FIP, 2.86 xERA, 34 SO/6 BB and is 4th in the league in Ks and likely will lead the league after tonight. I think he's pretty good.

Benintendi's ass should be on the bench. Where is the accountability you preach, Pedro!?

Grossman. At least pillar gives you defense. Grossman is just bad
That is my thought as well. If you have Pham, Benintendi, Fletcher on the roster, Pillar feels like a better 4th OF than Grossman. Grossman is not a good defender and while he does hit LHP well, so does Pham. I just don't feel like Grossman has much of a role once Pham is on the roster.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see them send Fletcher down for Pham and keep all the washed vets because White Sox.

Well one of Grossman or Pillar will need to go for Pham, who is probably arriving later this week. But that doesn't really solve the too many over the hill veteran problem.

Dude's brain is shot. Give him a phantom IL trip to try and mentally reset.
He just like casually jogs after balls. It’s wild. That one in the 9th was a very catchable baseball. I don’t get it.

The ump blew the strike 3 call on Santana then Benintendi is just terrible otherwise this inning would have been over a few mins ago.
The umpiring has been insanely poor for the Sox this season. Maybe things just feel exemplified cause they can’t score any runs and I’m sure that part of it, but they sure do get bagged a lot on both sides of the ball. Also Maldonado just needs to go away.

Just speechless on Benintendi.

Lol that pitch was 3 inches inside.

Eloy! Don’t see balls land in that spot too often at Target Field.

If the Sox had anyone worth a s%*# on the beat, this would be asked of Getz at the beginning of the next homestand.

Sox have the most flexible 40 man in the league. Like 30 people don’t belong on it.
Right, but they need to field a major league roster. They have a bunch of bad players, but don't really have that many no brainer DFA candidates. Its the downside to signing to many shitty veterans. No one is going to lose sleep over DFAing Lopez, or DeJong, or Grossman, or Pillar, etc., etc., but they also don't really have anyone in the upper minors to replace these guys either.

Bring up Perez, Hackenburg, or Robinson. It would be impossible to be worse.
Perez is no longer a catcher. Don't believe he has caught a single inning in AAA this year - playing 1B.
They could just call up Robinson I suppose and then DFA him when Stassi is ready. I doubt they want to put Hackenburg on the 40 man yet because its already fairly crowded and he's at least mildly interesting. With all the vets on the 40 man, its makes the 40 man fairly inflexible.

The Sox completely ruined Vaughn from the jump plus Covid didn't help. Him basically getting no development in the minors plus us making him learn a completely different position for a year+. Also now he is on a shitty team that won't compete, I can't imagine how tough it is to come to work every day and play with this shitty team and keep the motivation going.
I really don't think its a motivation issue for AV. He might look like he doesn't care, but I think that is just him. He has to know that if he doesn't pick it up, he's a non tender candidate and looking at a cheap 1 year deal, or maybe even milb if he really keeps sucking. I am sure its eating him up inside.
I really think a month or so in Charlotte makes a ton of sense for AV. From a roster construction standpoint, Pham can replace AV. Sheets plays 1B. AV can play 1B daily in AAA - its currently being played by a catcher. It also will give the Sox another year of control of AV, which gives them more flexibility with him moving forward. But being arb eligible already, he's making $3.25M this year - so he's going to have to show some life for that extra year to even matter.

While Montoyo is a step in the right direction, I’d much prefer something more drastic and new. Jirschele obviously makes sense. Sizemore would be interesting just as a fresh voice in charge, but obviously has no managerial experience. I don’t think JR will approve going out of the org mid season.
-
I am all for sending AV to AAA. But he did hit the ball hard 2x yesterday. .570 xBA on that bases loaded line out to Kirilloff. Baby steps.

I think Sox mgt agrees with you guys, that is, don't rush Quero. I think they are waiting for Stassi to get off the Injured List, and then DFA Maldonado.
Well he just got shifted to the 60 day, so we’re still 5 weeks from that. But ya, Sox are kinda stuck with Maldonado for now. Doesn’t mean they need to play him 5x a week.

That's the coolest thing about Minnesota. There's really nothing to do during the day other than walk around the skyway, and you keep running into players.
I can't say I agree about nothing to do in Minneapolis but walk through the skyway (I just happen to work in dtown MPLS), but it definitely is nice when Sox are in town because its fairly easy to run into players in the skyway.

Let's fu*k around and find some wins in Minneapolis this week. The Twins are sucking right now as well, so may as well kick them a bit while they're down. We all know the more likely scenario is a 4 game sweep turns the Twins season around, but hey - I'd love to not see that happen.
I will be in attendance tonight and just gave Crochet knucks in the skyway, so hey, go Sox.

Remillard was the right choice. Easy dude to root for though. He'll almost certainly clear, but will now have the option to elect free agency. In my opinion, he'd be a little crazy to as his easiest path back to the big is easily the Sox and will continue to play a key role for Charlotte. But the grass is always greener...we'll see.

The twins have been simply terrible this year. Sox were just what the doctor ordered.
