Another soft grounder into the shift. Can someone please get a fucking clue he does not belong on a major league team anymore?!?!?!

I wish some reporter would ask him his logic behind his lineups. Is this like a taboo question?

Haha I feel you brotha

If Nova has it tonight and the Sox somehow pull this one out of the hat, they have a decent chance at splitting this series with Gio on the bump tomorrow.

Um, aside from Alonso and maybe Yolmer (who should be a platoon tbh), the lineup isn't that bad. Leury has been solid all year, Moncada is in a slump right now but we saw what he can do in April, Abreu, McCann still one of the best offensive catchers in the league, Eloy is still adjusting, we know who Anderson is now, Tilson is hot. Houston just is a really good team, and they are showing us how far the Sox have to go to get to that elite level. "Pathetic" is overkill. I would say work-in progress but still major league worthy...I like Yonder but he has zero place on this team right now. Cut the losses.

Love DJ. I really enjoy his commentary, reminds me a lot of Stone actually. Very knowledgeable about the game and I hope he sticks around for a long time. Ed, I still enjoy listening to him only for nostalgic purposes. I wouldn't really miss him when he goes. He does have great homerun calls and I enjoy it when he gets excited about the game. Like the previous poster said, I think there is some to be desired in the PBP category...and Ed's age is definitely showing.

I cant believe all of this is resurfacing

Gonna get no hit tonight boys

Beautiful play Luery

Yeah Moncada looked like a 50 year old dude swinging up there...like he had no idea what was coming.

Nerd/obsessed fan moment: I was friends with Adam Eaton on facebook. I posted a picture of a fish that I caught. He literally commented on it and asked me how big it was. I will always admire him for taking the time to do that. Made my day lol. And this happened like 2 years ago.

Will never understand how professional baseball hitters can not hit baseballs to all parts of the field. How is your bat control so poor you can only pull the ball?

Well, Alonso not batting 4th tonight but still a dumb lineup. Literally the next worst hitter batting clean-up: Beef. Not even facing a lefty tonight (Verlander). Yonder hitting 6th in front of our 2 hottest hitters, Timmy and Tilson. Not sure why they are batting lower in the order. Timmy can drive in runs and Tilson can get on base.

Stone seems to be invested. Where did you hear this rumor?

All you need to do is look at the difference between 2018 and 2019 Moncada to understand its gonna take time for these guys to develop. Seasons perhaps

First game of a tough road trip featuring the 2 best teams in the AL: Houston first and then Minnesota. See if the Sox can surprise and at least split this 4 game series with Houston, who won 10 in a row before dropping one last night. Eloy first game back from the ankle injury playing left field. See how he does out there with the crawford boxes. Peacock vs. Sox bullpen (Covey opening?) Really, outside of Alonso...this is a pretty damn good lineup. Lets score some runs boys. Leury CF Yoan 3B Abreu 1B Yonder DH (lol) McCann C Eloy LF Anderson SS Tilson LF Yolmer 2B

I guess logjam was probably the incorrect term with all of the injury risks. I was thinking of terms in what Keuchel will probably command, 4-5 years would be my guess.

Unless you can sign Keuchel to a 1 year deal to fill out hole, I say hard pass. We are gonna have a log jam with the rotation next year and I dont want a veteran blocking anyone.

Yes, monday perhaps

I am usually a big proponent of Cooper and not one of his haters, but I heard Gio say on MLB network that he went to his high school pitchingg coach during the offseason and that had a huge effect on him

Kind of curious to see what will happen next year with Dunning and Rodon. If Dane starts in AAA and dominates, and is ready to get the call around the same time Rodon is ready to come back, would they put him in the pen? Assuming everyone is healthy and performing, wont bea spot in the rotation with Cease Kopech Gio and Lopez and Rodon. Lol, just realized 4 out of 5 of those starters will have had tjs

How bout Cordell instead

Lineup needs to be: Leury, Moncada, Abreu, McCann, Anderson, Eloy, Tilson, Sanchez, Alonso. Consistently batting our worst hitter 4th is idiotic. This needs to stop soon.

Kuechel will sign somewhere once the draft is up

That is why Anderson needs to be hitting higher in the order. So dumb that he is hitting behind delmonico and Alonso
