The Mighty Mite

How many bases empty homers have we had in the last week.

Could you imagine what Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall would be saying about these clowns.

Do Jason and Steve really think that the Sox are contenders in this for s%*# division?

So depressing.

Agree.

and Eloy promptly hits into a tailored made DP.

That was a gift with 2 strikes.

We might this week be looking at one massacre after another.

Rodriguez has had some nice seasons in the minors, he’s been in the farm system since 2018 so he’s probably just as good as anyone else we have, maybe it’s his time.

Could very well be but like you I would give him through 2024, still a little early to give up on him.

To be honest, I don’t know.

I’m wondering if the lack of playing time in the minor leagues has had an effect on his development, I expected much better from him but he’s is only one of many many Sox phenoms that have come down the pike and never became the player we had hoped for. I’d probably give him one more year to see if he can put it all together before putting him on the trading block. As far as comparisons, I’m going with a guy from the 1950s by the name of Walt Dropo.

Ties Jack Harshman with 16 Ks for franchise record, sad news is I remember Jack Harshman.

Thought we might have a big inning there but alas no cigar, just a run.

Sometimes I just hate Robert.

Get Lance some runs.

Keep it going Lance.

Very productive top of the first.

That was very nice and touching.

Yep, I thought I was watching 1950s Golden Age of Baseball again, it was a breath of fresh air.

You’re right, we can probably trade TA but Moncada is a lost cause unless the Sox pay most of his salary.

Miller was rolling along pretty good last night looking for his 4th straight win but the Giants got him for 7 runs in the 5th on their way to a 15-0 victory over the Dodgers. Maybe his stock went down a tad. For personal reasons I would love to see Bobby Miller on the Sox, he’s from McHenry and is the grandson of my best friend when I was growing up in Rogers Park, he passed away about 20 years ago with all kinds of problems as he had it tough in Vietnam with PTSD which led to alcoholism among other things. My high school sweetheart is Miller’s great aunt and we still are in touch as we fax and she keeps me posted on all the latest with Bobby.

We’ve had some gut wrenching losses this past week with infuriating at bats by Robert and Jake but the team hasn’t quit.

At some point he’s got to figure it or he just doesn’t care or just isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.

He’s just infuriating.
