March 31, 20215 yr 15 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: And now Andrew vaughn is not starting opening day. The idiocy of Tony la russa has already begun. I’m not going to blame Tony for this. If anything, seems like a punishment for not agreeing to an extension. Can’t believe how bad this lineup looks compared to some of the hopes and dreams we had for it heading into the offseason.
March 31, 20215 yr And la russa said he's gonna try to get everyone on the roster some games and abs in first for games. Cant wait to see Jake lamb! Lol this old crotchety dope.

March 31, 20215 yr Curious roster decisions like this wouldn't be as concerning to me if TLR actually sounded coherent when speaking publicly.

Not like some part time players are gonna get in a rhythm because of it. At the end of the day the lineup doesn't mean much obviously but its just such a disappointing opening day lineup for an all in year. Sheesh.
March 31, 20215 yr lol we fire one manager who sucks at making lineups because he's stuck in the 90s and hire another manager who sucks at making lineups because his hayday was in the 90s. Edited March 31, 20215 yr by chw42

I can see him wanting to get everyone in the lineup, especially Mercedes against one of the LHP

March 31, 20215 yr 4 minutes ago, fathom said: I don’t think he’s wrong to do that, in all honesty. I don’t either....but I don’t know if not starting Vaughn sends the best message. I mean, who is the starting LF? Did anyone ask Tony that? Tony said when Eloy got hurt they were going get Vaughn as many reps as possible in LF to prepare for the season. Now he’s on the bench for Game 1? Honestly, I’ll give TLR the benefit of the doubt early...I don’t have reason to doubt him at this point. But that can change quickly.

Just kinda seems once Eloy got hurt, their world got turned upside down. I agree with what you’ve said today, losing Eloy was a colossal blow for the team.
March 31, 20215 yr Leury has a career .648 OPS against righties. Batting him 6th in this lineup makes absolutely 0 sense.
March 31, 20215 yr I can understand larussa not wanting vaughn to play his first MLB game in left field and since it is a righty pitcher and collins did very well in spring DHing him makes sense too. Not sure why leury is batting 6th though, maybe it is to get the L R alternation?

Building a roster with the expectation of Eloy, Robert, Moncada, Anderson, Madrigal & Grandal all being available for 150+ games was never logical but the cracks are already being shown sooner than anyone could have expected.

I don't know why TLR loves bunching all the switch hitters together.

Some of us warned about the injury prone core players and how the Sox did absolutely nothing to insulate themselves this offseason. The thing that sucks about Eloy getting hurt so soon is there’s nothing to guarantee more injuries don’t also occur.
