Sure. But he’s a legit reason why we suck balls against RHP and defensively, so perhaps he should play a bit better before running his jaw, if he is indeed doing that.

Expect to see Bieber go in the afternoon then

Right. Sounded kind of like hearsay, but like we've all seen, this shouldn't really big a big surprise to anyone watching this team. They've lacked killer instinct and the ability to string anything together. Bob also said TLR likely won't be manager next year if Sox miss playoffs, but doesn't see him getting fired. It'll be a "promotion" to FO or organization ambassador.

And yep. Gotta rest these guys up for the ASB. These games aren't important or anything.

Would help (getting him into the lineup) if AV could play some OF. He hasn't been out there in almost a month.

Gotta get Leury in there somehow. He'll play SS one game tomorrow. Probably will find a way into the other game, too.

Also, how fucking hard is it to just play Harrison at 2B. FFS.

The AV to the bench theme has continued.... TA SS, Moncada 3B, Robert CF, Abreu 1B, Sheets RF, Eloy DH, Pollock LF, Leury 2B, Zavala C

I look forward to the meltdown from a few here on this soon to be 28 year old making it to the big leagues.

Yep. To say this is a critical week would be an understatement. Based on what we've seen from this team, I am expecting a 3-5 week and heading into the break with a whimper. But I'd love to see 6-2 or better....would sure brighten the outlook and attitude for the 2nd half. Fingers crossed.

What benefit would Stone have to leak this to Bob, and then get on the radio and lie about it? Seems unlikely. Unless this was leaked by a player, there has to be a motive. I don't think Stone really has a motive here.

Well if its an anti-TLR campaign from KW, I am all for it. The other angle floated is some sort of campaign to place blame on players instead of coaching is one I cannot get behind. Not that the players are not at fault, they deserve plenty of blame. But a manager's job is actually pretty easy - put the players in the best position to succeed on a daily basis and foster a clubhouse that is pulling in one direction. It appears TLR has failed miserably at both.

James Fox insinuating on Twitter this leak came from KW. Trying to wrap my head around what that accomplishes from KWs perspective.

Colas can't be that far outside of top 100s, can he? Have to imagine a good 2nd half for him along with graduations and he'll be in most top 100s by seasons end.

Wait, you were serious?

Yep. If they somehow go 7-1 (lay off the crack, I know), they'll be in the first place at the ASB.

Giants claimed Welker.

Pick up a game on the Twins prior to Thursday and I will be happy. 4 GB heading into a 4 game series. That will likely require 3 out of 4 from Cleveland assuming Twins don't lose both to the Brewers.

I would agree here. He seems miserable; rarely see him smile. Don’t watch a ton of west coast ball as I am generally early to sleep but I doubt he was this lifeless on LaD. If this story is true, wouldn’t be shocked if he was at the center of the turmoil.

I’m sure he’ll be added before it’s all said and done, but this is BS.

Exactly. This is my guess. Otherwise I have a hard time really thinking where these cliques could be. But this shouldn’t be a surprise for anyone who has watching this team play a lot in 22. A lot of uninspired play.

.5 GB of Cle. Go rangers!

AJ still hits lefties well. Much better than Gavin. Fair comment tho

Doubt he even has his jersey on today. The #tlrway

Won’t be for the Sox.
