Pollock is playing RF

Looks like Leury is in need of a season ending surgery.

Appears that way. We’re 3 days in and that plan could not be more clear. Just brutal.

Not really. This game sucked and this team isn’t very good. But they’re 2 games back heading into today and probably 1.5 GB tomorrow morning. The season isn’t over.

Who'd have thunk right?

If you promised me the Sox would fire most of the coaching staff - definitely including TLR and Menechino - if they missed the playoffs, I might make that trade. But I definitely don't think anything is for sure with the Sox.

What are these reckoning rumors you speak of?

But like, I am still taking Timmy over Leury without a 2nd thought even with the recent poor 30 games sample considered. But yeah, I mean, we're saying the same thing. The latest version of TA isn't a huge loss atm. Chances of TA snapping out of it and become a really good player over the next 4-6 weeks was many times more likely that getting above average production out of Leury at SS.

We only get two extra guys for September, I believe. Imagine one will be Perez unless Yaz starts hitting. Also have Bummer hopefully returning. Then you got Burger, Martin, Valasquez, Romy, Haseley, Crick (if healthy), Payton, Schryver and Shilling all with some levels of deservedness. Will be interesting to see how they manage the extra 2 spots. Then of course hopefully TA comes back at some point as well.

In a vacuum, losing TA hurts. Going from even the TA of the last few weeks to Leury is serious downgrade. But this isn't the loss it was earlier in the season when TA went down. I hope to see Sosa get some serious run, but I think it'll be a 50/50 timeshare at best with Leury. Let's hope Sox are still in this thing when they get a healthy (and hopefully recharged and rejuvenated) TA back mid to late September.

Woof

How is 2.5 GB (Sox splitting and Twins winning most likely)? 1.5 GB would be most likely; Twins are definitely dogs @LAD.

Win 2 and Twins lose @LAD and we’re 0.5 GB later today.

I guess that’s what happens when the GT is posted 48 hours in advance, but I’d much prefer that to an hour! Good place for random jargon. As for the TA to Chicago video. If that’s not him the guy dresses exactly like TA and is the exact same size as TA. But the video is far too grainy to say for sure. If it is him, who cares? He’ll be back Tuesday. As for Dallas, well fuck Dallas.

A 5-2 week is needed. It starts with Lynn in game one of the twin bill on Tuesday.

Blue Jays have played some really bad baseball against the Twins this weekend.

Good decisions were made.

Hope Sox sent him home last night and told him to come back Tuesday with a new attitude. Been a rough go of it for TA lately. He needs a few days to himself.

He is absolutely there. I’m sure he flew in last night.

A .660 OPS against RHP and the fact that he cannot field his position and is yet another RH DH that cannot hit RHO might - just might - be a determining factor.

Reduced to 2 games. Serving starting today.

If TA sits out and doesn’t serve his suspension that’s some selfish BS.

Because burger sucks at 3B and Moncada is very good at 3B and this team already sucks defensively. This has been covered extensively.

He's been banner'd

6-2 over the next 8 games between now and next Sunday starts today. Need that.
