He’s heading to AAA to make “an appearance or two”. So next week sounds possible.

Not to mention, defense isn’t exactly a plus on this team. Weakening the team further in that regard is silly when it’s not necessary. Cart is also so far ahead of the horse on Burger. I like him as much as the next guy, and I’m open to at least letting him take some reps at 2B when Moncada comes back. I doubt it’ll be pretty, but it’s worth a try if he’s still hitting. But Moncada still isn’t moving off 3B.

Curious to see who the extra man will even be. Sox 40 man is pretty much tapped out. Bilous, Romy and Haseley only healthy 40 man not already on roster. Yoan Aybar on the 40 man as well and don't see that he's appeared in minors yet this year.

Just due to cold???? Lame AF.

Let's start this shortened series off with a W!

It strange because Gio said he was pain free like a week ago. Seems like they're really slow playing it.

Forecast doesn't look great today in Cleveland, but perhaps there is a window. Looks like % chance of rain drops from 65%+ to the 20-30 range around game time. Probably will be a miserable game if they do play, and since its a division opponent, perhaps more likely to reschedule than the Mariners game last week. Buttttt I won't argue with another Keuchel start in the rain against the opposing team's ace.

I am a huge Eloy fan. I wouldn't even entertain trading him right now. But its also hard to look at Eloy from 21 and this very small sample in 22 and see anything close to the 2019 and 2020 version of Eloy. He seemingly forgot how to elevate the ball. He can't hit anything on the outside of the plate. His batting stance changes every other at bat. He used to look confident AF at the dish, but right now he looks lost. He's in worse shape now than he was then, and I suspect that trend will continue. I do think Eloy will figure it out offensively, but you combine that previous paragraph with the fact he's a DH playing LF, is a danger to everyone around him and apparently refuses to DH.....I can get why people are down on him. But there is simply no way the Sox can extract enough value from Eloy right now. He's worth way more to the Sox if he even comes 80% of the player he was in those first ~600 PA than whatever he'd return in trade right now.

What is that - the third ball Eloy has hit in the air to the OF this season?

Looks cold AF but rain should clear by early afternoon.

Scuffle city for Luis. Woof

JFC. It’s not about the stance, it’s about Eloy switching off every other at bat. Get a clue.

Eloy back to the closed stance. lol

Luis scuffling right now.

Shrug. It tells me he wants a lot of $ and has Boras as his agent. Ship has sailed. Doesn’t change the fact that not signing his was stupid.

Is this a real question? He’d probably be our best hitter against RHP and this team isn’t good against them if you haven’t noticed.

Looked very out to me.

Yep. Should have signed Conforto. Would have made a huge difference on this club.

I’ll let things play out quite a bit longer before I make that declaration. He doesn’t look good rn tho.

There is absolutely zero good reason to trade Eloy right now. He still has loads of offensive upside. You have to let him try to figure it out.

Eloy looking an awful lot like his 2021 version. Can’t seem to decide which batting stance he wants to use either.

You know exactly where he is in Trays ridiculous mind. It’s a meme at this point.

Moncada isn’t switching positions. Pin it to every thread.

Make it make sense.

Lol it doesn’t work like that.
