waiting for the game 2 "sunday lineup" since we already clinched at least a split
Hey Engle and Pollock gave the lineup the punch they needed.

I don't think 1 run is gonna win this game. They need to score more.
I agree but we are down to 6 batters. But their meat is coming up in 8th and 9th

We have 1 batter in the lineup hitting over .240. Good Cueto is shutting them down.

I know it is going to be very hot and muggy today. So play TA at SS one game and let him DH the other game. Yanks have two pretty good pitchers so we need TA's bat.

Selfishly, I wish Cease had one of these games. Coming back in NY after his rough start last week against the Yankees would have been good if he had a solid outing against them.

Do you really think they would get much for Lynn, Graveman, Hendriks or Moncada based on current form and/or injury records? Not arguing just curious.
And wouldn't Robert, Cease and Kopech be a core you would want to rebuild around?
Hendriks would be very valuable come trade deadline unless he implodes before then. Moncada is 26. Some teams will definitely offer a decent return for him

You would think if the Sox lose tomorrow there’s got to be some changes coming right?
No. If they ( not sure who makes these decisions) need changes they should make them win or lose tomorrow.

Will miss the first one due to a staff meeting. Though I suppose can fake that I have the runs to get out of it?
Come on Sox!
The Sox need the runs as well.

After the rough Yankee start, I can see Cease bouncing back w a gem against the Royals.

Tony LaRussa is on the one who can needs to be fired. Even if you want to place all of the blame for this offense so far on the hitting coach, he doesn't get the blame for the defense, or for the bullpen. He also doesn't get the responsibility for the lack of health of this team. But when you are missing major pieces of the team , plus benching starters on a regular basis, this shouldn't be that much of a surprise that they don't hit consistently.
Honestly, maybe it took a while, but this team looks exactly how I was afraid it would look last year when Tony took over. Maybe it took a while for him to lose them, but they look lost. I have never seen guys like Tim Anderson and Jose Abreu look less sharp and excited about the game.
In fairness, Tim Anderson is in top 5 in AL batting average. So I would say he looks very sharp in the batting box also considering w his .335 average he has struck out very few times. Now he may not be excited and he may not be sharp in the field, But in the batters box he is very sharp so far.

Ask the Braves.
Not sure why some of you guys always assume the best regular season teams will always come out on top.
If you get in and healthy ( being the key ) you always have a chance.
Agree. Also as we saw w the Braves, mid-season acquisitions can have a major impact. It is a long season and some teams in mid-May will look and perform much differently in September.

Tough to lose to a guy named Nestor.

After one walk following two quick outs, no manager would have had anyone warming up. After 2 walks he got Banks up, but no one would have been ready to pitch to Judge on that schedule. The two runs aren’t on the manager, except for the fact that he signed Kelly.
The next 5, when things went off the rails, those are on him.
Agree with the timing. But judging the Kelly signing based on his first week back is pretty dumb.

Damn you, Preller...?
In fairness it should be damn you JR or Kenny or Hahn . Pick one. This is not a major loss but the Sox have a weakness and Cano could be worth nothing or he could become a nice addition. You cannot use the money excuse.

So fucking pissed I get kuechel on Saturday. I got prime seats. He better not fuck it up.
I find the weather forecasters struggle to get the daily weather right. Having said that, there is an 88% chance of rain Saturday. Hopefully prime seats have a roof over them.

I don't think you can, unless the plan is for him to retire from baseball. If there's a way to reduce Eloy's (or any individual players) likelihood of getting injured running the bases, that is much more your area of expertise than mine.
But you agreed that Eloy playing in the OF is dangerous. We all know it is for a variety of reasons. There is no reason to ever put him out there again.
Running the bases is also dangerous. So it looks like relief pitching is the safest place for him.

A J Hinch. Alex Cora. I know their current teams are not doing well now, but they are better managers than TLR.
Cora was not an option. Boston wanted him back after his suspension.

I watched some of his innings this season and I do say hes going to be good. He pitched pretty well against the best lineup in MLB. I am not sure what Hahn was thinking when he basically gave one of the best pitching developing organizations, and divisional rivals, such a stud. Very questionable last couple of seasons for Hahn and the FO.
He is a big kid at 240lbs.

That broadcast was pretty brutal.
Not having Apple TV, I was outside looking in. Actually following via my PC. Where did the broadcast originate from and who were the announcers?

What a gun, not even the arm so much as the perfect transfer. So many guys even at the MLB really struggle to catch with momentum forward.
I would add the grass is somewhat wet as well and he still gunned him down.

Injuries
in Pale Hose Talk
Posted
Most MLB teams have about 12 players on day to 60 day injured. Several teams have 9-10 and several, like Twins and Tigers, have about 20. Twins with 20 on injured still leave the Central and Tigers with 20 are left in Central.
