This s%*# is honestly so stupid. There’s plenty to be upset about without manufacturing this embarrassing lip reading witch-hunt.

Sure, so sounds like you have enough to be mad at without making up things.

Why is this even a thing? Dude barely moved his mouth. Do people usually try to figure out everything a player mumbles to himself during a game?

I’ll allow it.

7.1 BB/9 in Charlotte. Something about him fitting right in..

Go Sox.

Is this actually 4 weeks minimum? 4-6 weeks caught me off guard. Hoping there’s some successful quicker recovery stories. This lineup is drastically weaker without Eloy in the middle. And Jake isn’t there to replace some of that power this time. This blows.

Right after the 3-run HR, first time I’ve voluntarily turned off the game this season. Can’t believe I made it that long. But now I’m here. Lord, help us all.

Guessing it is his 59 OPS+ for the year and .407 OPS over the last 14 days. I can’t imagine he is up for much longer.

I understand just fine, and I agree with your point in theory. I love Abreu, and have a ton of respect for him as a person and player. But if last year’s team performance was any indication of how this year would play out, the ship was already sinking with Jose on it. He could not do anything to stop it, and you saw it on his face every damn game. Combine that with his production this year, and he would be nothing more than part of the problem. And completely miserable. I agree the Sox should have replaced him with a superstar. They should have replaced him with three. I wish a big part of the issue was as simple as Abreu. Unfortunately, I don’t think he even moves the needle on this team.

This team would look exactly the same with Abreu’s .576 OPS. Only difference is José would be a lot sadder than he is right now with the Astros.

Yeah, well maybe I should have said “new” words. I’d rather not turn into the crazy guy standing on the street corner yelling the same thing at every person who walks by. Not saying that’s you, but be careful, man.

Yes, which was my point. I can no longer find words to describe what’s going on. It’s gone way past any way I can describe this.

How are you all still finding words for this?

Just win a fucking game somehow. At least show us that it’s not impossible. I hate you.

Berrios blows. If we cannot jump all over him and put up enough runs to hold off 12 walks from the White Sox pitching, we are never winning another game again.

It’s hard to tell what you’re trying to get at.

I hope some Sox hitters manage to get a few 4 pitch at-bats against Maclanahanana.

Cease will be DFA’ed by June.

This current state of ownership/front office attempting to execute a rebuild is the stuff nightmares are made of. I don’t even want to think about this any longer. Thinking about this current team is basically “happy thoughts” in comparison.

Well maybe next time. ?

One of these at-bats, they are going to turn this season around. ?

We all did. We need all of them.

And as we have witnessed first-hand, other teams actually swing at those pitches right down the middle. They also hit them in fair territory, and generally pretty hard. Quite the concept.
