I mean, they can’t keep running him out there. Gimme Payton for 10 days. Cannot be worse.

I don’t know what you’d call 27% above average, but most would call it excellent.

Way too early to say “never”.

Well Luis is basically worthless with 1 hand.

My guess is Tony wants to return. Sox we’re internally hoping he wouldn’t. Now they have to make a decision instead of hoping this would just kind take care of itself.

Elvis has been great, but we’ve done enough spending needless money. Sox have plenty of options for second base.

I really dont understand Stoney's very clear dislike of Tony's in game management during the broadcasts, but then he always backs Tony in interviews. Its strange.

No, within threads. Its like a little scoreboard looking thing on the right side that shows replies, date thread created, last reply, top posters, popular days, and popular posts. It takes up about 25% of the screen and reduces the thread size to about 75% of the screen.

Debate with friend - can someone please share the link that shows teams ranked by most IL days? @Balta1701

As someone who has probably watched 125 of the 135 games in full, and at least portions of the other 10....there is 100% something difference about this team since Tony left. They have an energy and a spunk that they haven't shown since early 2021. Sure there has been 1 or 2 duds since Tony left that reminded me of the majority of the games played under Tony (corpseball, as I call it)...but Tony leaving was a giant breath of fresh air, and likely a relief to the guys, even though they'll never publicly admit that.

If Cleveland goes 15-14 rest of season, they end with 84 wins. If MN goes 16-13 rest of season, they end with 84 wins. Which means Sox need to go 17-10 or better to get to 85 or more wins. Its doable, but basically means Sox cannot lose more than 1 more in a row rest of season. Of course rattling off an 8-10 game win streak would make it all so much more realistic. May as well start now.... Remember, Sox are 6-9 vs. Cleveland. Which means Guardians only need to win 1 of the remaining 4 to hold the tie breaker. So really, Sox are 3 GB, not 2.

Is there anyway to get rid of the side panel on the right on desktop mode?

Royals tie it up…

I like Elvis

The calls of the demise of Big Lance were jusssssst a tad premature.

He’s almost certainly going to be on this roster next season so he’ll be given tons more chances.

This. This so much. The two of us and a few others like @Chicago White Soxwill repeat it all of season. It’s so important the Sox need to execute. Meanwhile AV costs us another run in the OF..

All of their bullpen, to be exact. Can’t hurt.

They’re also quite likely just 2 GB and Cleveland is reeling and Twins heading to play a 4 games series against a team they haven’t been able to beat in eons. It’s wild that all it took was a 4 game win streak to get them back in the thick, but they very much are.

Disappointing game but Sox are back in this thing. Need a 5-2 road trip. Guardians got 3 with the Royals and 3 with the Twins while the Twins go to NY for 4 before heading back to MPLS to take on Cleveland. 5-2 probably gets us within a game of the Guardians. Would be shocked if Twins did any better than 1-3 in NY, Yanks absolutely own them.

Cairo should go when TLR is officially gone. I don’t think any non-Tony Stan’s think Cairo is anything but a Tony yes man. I’ll take Cairo 100/100 times over Tony but the Org badly needs all fresh blood next season.

I just really don’t understand this teams unwillingness to let ReyLo pitch a 2nd inning when he throws like 10-12 or less pitches. I think he threw 7. They do it allll the time and then leave us a (good) pitcher short later.

I would have hit Payton for Leury, personally.

Tough day for Elvis in the field
