Let’s get to July first

He’ll get there. I wouldn’t bat him 4th right now but don’t really have a choice.

Eloy was my guy, but I think I am just about ready to move on. Truthfully, we're damn close to the point that anything meaningful we get from Eloy moving forward is gravy. He's never going to stay healthy for extended stretches, and while he hasn't been able to actually play much, he just really hasn't been that good since 2020. And even then he was a deeply flawed player. When I say move on, I don't mean literally. He's not going anywhere. You simply cannot trade him at this point, but I just don't really expect much at all from him moving forward. Makes me sad.

If anyone finds a full clip of Hahn's media availability today, please post in here.

Well, not that any of us needed a reminder, but Hahn would fire TLR if it was his call. This isn't a ringing endorsement of his manager.

Burger has received plenty of PT.

Can't imagine Severino survives the cut from 28 to 26.

Looks like someone got a talkin' to.

At this point, I'd guess it'll happen in May.

Lineup via DVS: TA SS, AV LF, Abreu 1b, Yaz C, Pollock RF, Burger 3B, Harrison DH, Engel CF, Mendick 2B

Bummer. Need to get him back on the field. Josh Harrison at DH tonight. Shit even Yermin might be able to find his way into a DH platoon if he were healthy at this point.

Fuck that. I hate day games.

Right. That's' the point that the suspension should be dropped quickly if he wants to play that card.

Nah...MLB just likes to make an example out of TA, for some reason. I'd say TA has a pretty good grounds for an appeal between those 2 and the Senzel finger. How do those 3 guys get off with that, but a simple flick of the middle finger gets TA a suspension? Straw should get a few games for instigating a fight with a fan. Sure they were talking some shit, but from the video that is going around, its fairly vanilla. The beer throwing didn't happen until later on.

That could quite possibly be the nail in the coffin for Keuchel if it is that bad.

I expect the offense to wake up a bit in this one. Just need Dallas to give us four or five without a major meltdown. I think the streak ends today.

Are we sure the Sox clubhouse is in good standing at the moment?

I doubt Baldelli headed over to the Sox clubhouse after the game to personally apologize for the bat flips.

Sure, those are more worthless. Power rankings in general are just dumb. Just a means for clicks. Go look at the standings.

Right. I cannot think of a more useless thing than power rankings in mlb baseball in april.

I'd take the multiple playoffs. But I probably wouldn't watch much baseball if I knew the outcomes. I know that wasn't the hypothetical, but you just gotta get in and you never know. Honestly, best case scenario is probably Sox win the WS this year in spite of LaRussa and he rides off into the sunset with another ring, and Sox reset with a new staff next season.

Do we know if the $4.2M is truly prorated (ie: he is on roster for 30 games he gets (30/162)*$4.2M=$777,777), or is the $4.2M guaranteed for the rest of the season as of the day he is activated, even if he only makes it a month or two on the roster.

This. I can never root against this team. I would probably take another couple losses in a row if meant a midseason change, but know its a pipe dream so I'd rather they just win.

While I agree TLR is going nowhere, Sox don't really have the luxury to let 2022 slip away. We've got 2 seasons before the core starts to disintegrate.

Yep. Unfortunately that is kind of the case for all three of the elite offensive prospects from the rebuild.
