Putting my own tweet here since I don't feel like typing it all out again.

Hello darkness my old friend....

On the plus side, I guess it's nice to know that a majority of us aren't the only ones puzzled by the lineup decisions. I suppose that makes me feel slightly better in some regard.

It's Jerry's world and we're all just peasants in it.

Somewhere out there, it's nice to know that sometimes vast underperformance DOES have consequences.

I've really only seen/noticed the rehabbing major leaguers wear Sox gear while there. I'm sure it's happened before though.

I blame the new banner for Leury batting leadoff today

For anyone like me that missed what happened.

Jose Ruiz and Mendick, final offer

Fair enough, no way they'd totally clean house mid-season. KW at least had some success in his tenure, although I'd be leery of him trading away several futures for more bandaids, and I don't trust the pro scouting department to make any solid recommendations at this point.

Very on brand, this org is a joke.

In this hypothetical, if Rick is getting canned I'd want KW to ride off into the unemployment sunset with him as well as the pro scouting department. They've been on a heater of failures.

Yeah no idea, but gambling on bloodlines isn't the worst use of $

He's been on the Winston IL all season long apparently.

Very true, but he's also been young for each level he's been at. I don't know how successful he would be if promoted from Birmingham to the Sox, but I'm confident he could match Harrison's measly production.

Sosa now 4-5, .374 AVG and a 1.052 OPS.

Yeah my thoughts exactly. They could do the conservative approach and send Yolbert to Chicago and have Lenyn take his spot in Charlotte, which I think is more likely to happen. It's very possible they use him in a trade, but I'd have some pause in that regard because guys don't normally hit like that in Birmingham, DUDES hit like that in Birmingham. Yoelqui just homered as well.

And right on cue Sosa homers

Although I don't believe this would actually happen, assuming Harrison doesn't hit and is let go, it would be super ballsy if the Sox promoted Lenyn from B'ham to try and tackle 2B. He would need to be added to the 40-man this offseason anyways if they wanted to keep him around.
