PAIN

This. Not sure why people feel the need to come on here and flaunt they haven’t watched the Sox in weeks/months, yet take the time to come to a message board a few times a day and try and convince the rest of the fans to tune out as well. Will never understand. As you said, Sox have been wildly disappointing. But not all is lost, and many Twins fans saying the same thing. Is this team gonna win the WS? Nah, probably not. But chances to make the playoffs shouldn’t be taken lightly, no matter the circumstance.

Even if they hire a new manager and GM, they’re aren’t rebuilding. There is way too much talent. They will hopefully overhaul the roster and find a way to keep key players healthier, but this team isn’t getting ripped to the studs.

Sure feels like this is something other than the “cold”.

The Rockies are so weird.

I watch damn near every pitch and I haven’t given up. They could be tied for the division lead in 60 hours. Far too early to give up considering the division. That doesn’t mean I don’t think this team has been dog shit all season.

Far from convinced this team will go in a different direction in the dugout completely regardless of how the next 10 weeks go.

Ehhh I don’t mind the fire. But bumping the ump was stupid

How quickly is the TA suspension going to come down? Another factor here. Dumbass is probably gonna get 3-5 games. Last thing this team needed.

Doesn’t seem that complicated, yet we’ve seen that set up what…once or twice all season? It’s fucking baffling.

I’m at this point. Maybe grab a foille warm body pen arms for very little return just to keep the pen afloat. But this team doesn’t deserve any reinforcement that will cost a top 10 prospect and Hahn frankly doesn’t deserve another chance. Let a new GM sort this mess out this winter.

Yeah, I mean hard to argue with that at this point.

Frankly gotta go 6-3 or better between today and next Sunday. Gets them off to a 7-5 start in this 19 game stretch. Can’t do worse than that.

This. I’ll watch regardless so I’d rather see them snap out of it. But if they fall 6 GB+, I’ll lose hope. Until then, and certainly at just 3 GB and the Twins playing even worse than us, it’s still there for the taking.

Welp. That’s all I got for tonight.

I love AV, but I guess if you can turn AV into Reynolds you probably have to do it. Because of the Sox stupidity on controlling AV last season, he only has 1 more year of control than Reynolds.

He's still in the org, just not wasting a 40 man any longer. Ideal.

He has 20 PA since the ASB. Prior to it he was ripping the cover off the ball. He's one of our best hitters. He needs to play everyday.

Benched by Tony.

I don't think its a stretch to believe at least 2-3 new guys will be brought in before Tuesday at 5pm, so yeah....likely just getting Markel off hte 40 man before having to DFA.

Or Parker Markel sucks and they knew no one else would waste a 40 man spot on him so they slipped him through waivers before having to DFA. Frankly they could do the exact same thing with Aybar and Severino too.

They could clear about 4-5 more with the collection of trash relievers they're carrying, and have been all season, on the back of the 40 man. Just a completely puzzling way to handle the back of the 40 man this season.

I think this has more to do with TLR being a fucking idiot over anything else.

This trade season has been boring AF so far.

I refuse to entertain the thought the Sox would be worse off with Gallo in RF against RHP as opposed to Sheets rest of season. Assuming health of Eloy, Robert, Engel and Pollock...all of which deserve that caveat....things do get a bit crowded out there with Gallo on board. But I am fine with Pollock getting less time against RHP, shift AV to LF and let Eloy DH. Plus Eloy is going to get plenty of offdays ROS. I am not saying Gallo is some homerun acquisition. As you said, he's damn near a DFA or salary dump. But he's also 1 year removed from a 4.4 fWAR season. Gavin Sheets probably won't accumulate 4.4 fWAR in his career.
