It doesn't, I'm just curious...not sure if you're just being an asshole or really don't know if it matters...

Why is Lopez wearing a hoodie in the dugout?

Considering they invited Ventura back as the manager at the end of the 2016 season...I doubt it.

Lopez WTF man cmon

Moncada aced 4 times on low and outside corner looking... That's gotta be a record? Meanwhile we have a player in the minors who has yet to strike out and he's advanced 2 levels.

Just gave away an out

Engel...pinch...hitting?? Would rather see Nicky vs the leftie

Narvaez needs to be batting 3rd in this lineup

Wow Omar batting over .400 for 2 months? And great little tidbit from Garfein there.

What a game from Lopez, granted KC, but this is the real ReyLo

Phillips>Engel

He's not THAT bad...would much rather have Hawk in his good years but Benetti isn't unlistenable. He's gotten better actually. Has his moments, definitely not gonna be a HOF announcer, but it's not God-awful.

I personally want McEwing to be the manager. Loved his energy and enthusiasm as a 3B coach. Butt...he doesn't speak Spanish and that's half the team's first language. Like it or not, this team needs a bilingual manager, and Ricky's leadership skills are far and away better than Robin's. Right now, he's the best man for the job.

Hopefully Hansen bounces back in AA like Guerro did in AAA.

Very well could've been a missed hit and run by Anderson. And who would you rather have managing this rebuild? Ventura or Renteria? No other options just those 2.

See if Lopez can bounce back. He says it's a matter of focus as why he's been struggling lately. Which is ironic because earlier in the season he called the team out...for lack of focus.

To answer the question of is this rock bottom, I will be 100 percent honest and say this is the least interested I've been in Sox games in probably since I started watching in 04. (Still follow the prospects on the daily and watch Moncada/Anderson/Gio/ReLo highlights.) But, it's just really hard to get interested in this big league team right now. It's the same thing every day almost, then you get the occasional comebacker against the Jays, which I just so happened to be watching. But a die hard fan such as myself starts to become disinterested, even though I know what the future holds for the team, yeah I would say it's rock bottom. Until Eloy and Kopech come up.

Agreed. It's already full on the weekends. Last weekend it was packed with Toronto...kind of a nobody team to watch especially with no Donaldson.

Agree wholeheartedly with this statement. Best 3B in the league, both in Offense and Defense. Is there another elite level 3B out there that will be available in the next few years? Not like we have any in our system. Unless we do something like move Moncada to 3B and play Madrigal at 2B. Can't count on Burger. If only one of Eloy/Robert/Rutherfod/Basabe were a third baseman.

I think Charlotte should change their name to the "Charlotte Box Checkers" and their new mascot is a dude in a polo and khakis with a clipboard and a pen checking off boxes.

Yeah,I think it is silly myself, but if you think about the development of the player to best contribute to the team when he gets here, it kind of makes sense. Palka and Delmonico are up here to fill holes. That is not what Jimenez will be doing. But, I'm not sure how much he can improve defensively...in the outfield...in AAA compared to MLB. Like, it's a corner outfield spot. All you need is an arm and a little bit of reading skills. We already know he has a good arm. Completely different than center.

I guess it's true the AA is more competitive than AAA...I bet this same thing will happen with Vlad Jr. for the Jays

Check. Each homerun is a box checked.

Looks like Tuesday. Today and tomorrow will be fun to follow...today is Cease and tomorrow is Medeiros (going to butcher his name a million times) as well as Kopech. Of course the Jimenez watch is in full swing right now as well.

Not trying to be offensive here or anything, but I think the beauty of being human beings is exactly what you think makes us delusional...the fact that one person can take one set of data or information, and the other can take the same set, and both can have completely different opinions and ideas. It's what makes us who we are....the world would be boring if we all thought and acted the same way. All you need to do is go to Wal-Mart to see how vastly different people can be I don't call it delusional, I call it entertaining haha. All joking aside, we all have different experiences, different kinds of education, different kinds of influences, different sets of beliefs, different kinds of upbringings...when you look at the grands scheme of things and start to chisel it out a bit, you actually begin to wonder how 2 people see the same set of objective information and actually come to the SAME conclusion, because people are just so different from each other. Unfortunately, all you have to do is look at our current political and social climate, and see that it's not easy for people to accept others when their opinions differ from them, because it doesn't make sense or comes off as offensive, when all you really have to do is try to understand the other person a little bit and God-forbid agree to disagree a little. But, that's neither here nor there. Wrong thread to start this kind of conversation.
