Everyone acknowledges how bad of a GM Hahn is an injury prone the players are…and then those things come to fruition and now it’s the managers fault? Not sure what moves any manager could make that would turn this team around with the present roster and injuries.

Crap, didn’t listen to myself

He pitched yesterday, asking him to go 2 probably not realistic

I think the Bummer experience is over. He looks nowhere near as electric as he did 2-3 years ago.

Sad to say…put Baltimore’s betting line being + $ right now is very tempting. I have 0 faith in our bullpen

I would have pulled Cease…but not sure I can kill Pedro for the decision based on how bad the middle of this pen is

Should have just started the inning with a reliever.

Need runs. Trying to get 4 clean out innings out of this bullpen is asking for a miracle

I don’t live close to Chicago…what’s the prognosis of if/when the game will start?

Lol and now the team folds and melts down

Horrible call on a pitch 2-3” inside to put Luis in a 0-1 hole and then confirm that he clearly didn’t touch the bag. Wild

In what world is that a balk?

Burgerbomb. Such a fun guy to root for.

Haven’t listened to a Sox game radio broadcast in a while…boy Darrin Jackson really sucks

The problem is that it’s going to be hard to have Benintendi and Yoan at the top of the order and also split up the RH’s in the middle. Only solution I see would be to drop Vaughn down in the order?

Luis looking lost at the plate so far. Would much rather see Yoan or Benintendi in the 2 hole

That’s hasn’t already happened?

Of all divisions I think the Central might be the hardest to predict. I feel like there’s an argument for the Sox, Twins and Guardians all to have anywhere between 75-90 wins. I’ll say the Sox win 86…does that get us in the playoffs? No idea

And throwing motion. Way too much strain on the elbow. 1/2 joking…but might as well just get the TJ surgery out of the way now to not waste development time and he’s basically starting from scratch as a prospect in 2 years.

Burger, Haseley, Alberto and Seby The fact that Haseley is LH isn’t ideal, but I think he’s by far the best 4th OF on the roster (it’s a really low bar) Burger has the best bat in case of a pinch hit situation is needed against a tough lefty. Can back up 3B and 1B Alberto is the best utility IF we have (again, a low bar)

This board really needs therapy…

Bring your son to the ballpark day with special guests Adam and Drake LaRoche.

I really don’t understand the trepidation of batting Colas 5th. Is batting 5th in a lineup on a team projected to miss the playoffs in April in front of a 1/2 full home crowds really going to be “too much” for him? We need a LH bat in the middle of the lineup and it’s Colas or Yaz…I’m taking Colas every day for that spot. Not to mention that this isn’t a 20 year old kid fresh out of college or anything. This is a 24 year old man that left his home at 19 to play professional baseball (albeit in a lower league). I think he’ll be just fine playing for the Sox, not like this team is going to get any spotlight or media attention. Also don’t see how sandwiching him between 2 of our best hitters is a bad thing, the lineup protection should only help.

TA Benintendi Robert Eloy Colas Vaughn Yoan Yaz Elvis Bench- Burger, Alberto, Seby, 1 of Luery/Marisnick/Hamilton/Reyes (they are all bad options, can’t decide)

Very true that being LH doesn’t help his cause. But I guess I’m also hoping there’s a world where Luery doesn’t make the roster. In that case I’d personally want someone on the roster that can play CF competently. Can’t run out a sub par OF defense every time Robert needs a day off
