Its Parkman. We could be 9-0 and he'd be hanging off the ledge.

Looks really bad up there right now. We've seen this before, but was man....was hopeful that corner was turned for good.

I don't disagree at all. Still don't think they're going to punt Dallas until mid summer with how thin the SP is currently and Kopech needing management.

Problem is this team still need pitching. He's safe....for now.

Looks like a team that hasn’t played in half a week

But why? These guys haven't played for almost 3 full days!

Sox could get back Pollock Friday
Chance of rain all weekend. Saturday temps looks nice, but chance of rain. Both Fri and Sun look rainy at low 50s in MPLS. Its been really cold and miserable here lately after a few weeks of nice spring weather, so that is actually a large step in the right direction.

Giolito could return in 5 days
2013....man time flies.

Last doubleheader in Cleveland the Sox clinched the 2021 central division. I was at that game, and it was lovely!

I am fine with this lineup. Bummer Eloy is still hurting after 2 full days off though.

Are you in favor of Moncada to 2B?
Even if 2021 Moncada is who he is moving forward, that is an ~20% above average MLB offensive producer (per OPS+ & wRC+) who plays well above average defense at his position. That, ladies is gentlemen, is called a 4-5 WAR player. Some of you guys are nuts.

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

Are you in favor of Moncada to 2B?
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.

GT 4/19: Sox @ Guardians - Keuchel vs. Bieber - PPD rescheduled as a dbl hdr 4/20
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.

GT 4/18: Sox @ Guardians - PPD, makeup on July 12
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.

Jake Burger is actually pretty interesting
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.
