4/9 Sox @ Guardians 5:10PM CT
How do you even see postgame comments from Venable in this absolute wasteland of beat coverage? That's an honest question by the way. I'd love to find a source because I got nothing after losing DVS and Vinny.

He'll, maybe Colas will get some run after all. I'd much rather watch Colas than Tauchman or Taylor or Slater anyway.

4/9 Sox @ Guardians 5:10PM CT
I mean, I'm not doing any name calling here, but he should have kept his leg on the bag and called time. I'm assuming it's a very serious injury, otherwise that's pretty dumb for a big leaguer to do on a turned ankle.

Lol all you can is laugh. Amazing stuff.

Drury is back, per Fegan
Da f*** is blue sky. Lame. Thanks for the response and link tho, appreciate it.

What is this from? Like a Sox Machine discord or something? Doesn't look like Twitter. With Sox losing DVS and Vinny and Fegan going basically dark on Twitter, there is so little beat coverage on that app now.

The Lenyn Sosa Thread
Sosa should be playing everyday. Mainly 2B with Baldwin at SS. I have no desire see any more Amaya.

Fire Chris Getz
This is where I am at. Terrible hire. I think he's done a good job at hiring staff members and changing the philosophies of the org from the ground up. At this point, he is our guy as long as JR is the owner, so may as well ride with it. His MLB roster management has been awful. I have not been shy in slamming his moves this offseason. And I think I saw you post just yesterday on Twitter that you think he should have signed a couple pen arms to improve the back end, win a few more close games, and then have trade pieces. I agree with that, and think most of his moves on the offensive side were brutal with no upside. But this is what a team that is tanking does. I didn't really expect a better team this year. I think once you accept the Sox are trying to lose baseball games in 2025, it makes the painful games a little easier to swallow.

Wow, I would have guessed $500-750k. Great gig.

You really think Stoney gets paid millions? I highly doubt it. I am sure he makes a nice living, but I'd be shocked if it was into 7 figures. Your point remains, tho.

4/6 Sox @ Tigers 12:40PM CT
Seems they're going to use him as a high leverage arm for now. I think pulling him there was absolutely the right call. He could not find the strike zone and with Greene getting pinch hit, get the lefty in there.
-
4/6 Sox @ Tigers 12:40PM CT
Nah. They should definitely wait 2 more weeks. They should be let Baldwin play SS and Sosa 2B most days tho.

4/6 Sox @ Tigers 12:40PM CT
These games have been soooooo boring this season.

4/6 Sox @ Tigers 12:40PM CT
While Oscar clearly isn't liked by the org, the fact they sent him to AA rather than just sitting on the bench in AAA tells me they at least want to let him play. They could have just completely doghoused him in CharlottE or released him. But ya, your point remains.

4/6 Sox @ Tigers 12:40PM CT
Greg Jones is now the only other OF on the 40 man and that dude obviously isn't ready for consistent MLB at bats. Will be interesting.

4/6 Sox @ Tigers 12:40PM CT
Really is. Feel like that's been an automatic hit against all Sox RFs not named Adam Eaton over last decade.

So Beni hurt I take it? Weird for the broadcast to make no mention of it.

4/5 Game Thread Sox @ Tigers 1200 pm
Very disappointing start to the season for Robert after a solid spring. Looks like he's in one of his stretches at the plate where he has no chance. Always been streaky as he'll, but you'd sure think the guy would be playing for his future. Both to be traded but also to get the option picked up. Duplicate his 24 season and he's going to have some tepid FA agent interest in the offseason compared to having a monster 25.

Players Currently In DFA Limbo
Well if they want him to play at all, AAA pretty crowded. Oscar has gotta be in a bad place right now mentally.
-
4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
Really is. I have legitimately zero interest in watching him play. Rojas hopefully will be back soon and we can end that experiment.

A thread of Fathom negativity is sure a fun read!

4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
Hasn't that been on the table for weeks at this point? Wasn't he one of the 6 - Thorpe, Berroa, Bush, Carela, Larson and Adams?
-
4/1 Sox vs. Twins 6:40PM CT
Agreed. Keep running him out there please.

4/1 Sox vs. Twins 6:40PM CT
That last ball he hit is halfway up the bleachers more times than it's not. Not saying he's good, but seems like a weird time to bag on him.
