Where did you hear this? I highly doubt that.

Same I can’t look away. I have the sickness. But we diehards deserve so much better.

He’s actually RH, unfortunately.

My guess is it’s a logistical thing and he’ll be back in Kanny Tuesday and hopefully a more deserving player like Tyler Neslony heads to Charlotte.

He’s saying to promote him to AA

It’s just so sad that this is what we were given.

It’s just unexplainably bad.

FIRE TONY!!!

Stoney, he grimaces like 30 times a game.

Honest question. Do you root against the Sox?

Id bunt on burger everytime.

A couple days of service time is kind of irrelevant. But I agree that he should be playing while he's here. Its not he's taking PT away from guys who had earned their keep this season.

Another injury did happen since Sosa got called up, literally the guy that plays his same position.

It jsut feels like there is so much internal strife in this organization. Tony clearly didn't want Sosa on the roster, so this is he way of showing the FO he's in charge. Its all so silly.

I mean…..I can’t imagine the FO called up Sosa to have him sit back to back games…

I do not know.

They definitely can. THere is no IL in the offseason. They've done similar things with with Ryan Burr and Luis Gonzalez when injured in previous season. They actually just did it again with Burr a week or two ago when he was on the 40 man and MLB IL. I don't think they will or should do this with Mendick, but its definitely within the rules.

The careers of those players say it’s likely they do better ROS; not unlikely.

Perhaps. I don't think it is crazy to think we'll get more in the 2nd half out of Moncada, Yaz, Lynn, Eloy, Bummer and even Giolito than we got in the 1st half. Those are 6 pretty key members of the squad that gave us very little to date.

I think they will get "healthier". I don't think they'll ever get to 100%. They've lost significant time from lots of significant players ~45% of the way thru the season. Its been close to about a 85-90% worst case scenario situation injury wise for the Sox to date. If history repeats itself in the 2nd half, the Sox aren't making the playoffs. I do, however, think even if history repeats itself, they'll still win more than 78 games based on the schedule.

Is Neslony a "prospect"? At 28, obviously not but the dude's numbers are very good, and frankly have been for most of his career. He hits left handed. Showing some pop this year. Not sure he'd ever be anything other than an emergency option in Chicago, but with the depleted team in Charlotte, certainly feels like he should be there instead of Glass.

How do you know that Moncada, Grandal, Bummer, Engel and even Eloy won't get healthy (ier)? Not to mention the guys on the active roster that aren't clsoe to 100% - AV, Abreu, TA, Giolito, Kopech, Robert, Kelly. You don't. You're just assuming the worst, per usual. The Sox have played 2 games under .500 with a fairly difficult schedule and have been injured AF. The rest of their schedule is the easiest in the league. The literally hard play any decent teams except the Twins/Guardians. The chances they play under .500 ball the rest of the way aren't very good, even if they don't get healthier, which is also unlikely. I will never convince you to not live your life under a raincloud, but saying they're gonna win 78 games is silly.

He was referring to in the offseason, not right now. They could definitely DFA/release him in the offseason.

One game means literally nothing. But yes this team won’t make the playoffs if they continue to trot out bad players as half the lineup. They need to get a little more healthy. Chances are they will. Even if they don’t, they’re gonna play better than .500 ball ROS.

I will take the over. There is no way this team is playing under .500 ball with the remaining schedule. That is literally a worst case scenario, which is the world Parkman lives in so not surprised to see you with that take.
