Sox are winless without Yermin, just saying.

Kind of funny they already are winless vs RHP and undefeated vs LHP.

No. Neither has enough innings this year to be full time starters. It's not possible.

It is possible. Without  a limit on innings. These are starters who have thrown that much. Can throw that much

I guess it won't be a dry flight back to Chicago?

Who has Power of Attorney over the bullpen when TLR is incapacitated?

How bad was the base running mistake by Abreu?   Unavoidable or not?   Almost felt like expected punishment from the baseball gods. 

It wasn't a mistake at all, honestly. Robert hit a rope to SS, Abreu was off second as he should be, just unfortunate.

I watched Dusty Baker bring his closer into the 8th inning of a tie game vs the Angels yesterday. He's 71. It's not like older managers can't adapt, but what reason is there to believe that TLR is willing to do so?

Houston has a competent analytics department that can keep older guys like Dusty in check. It's pretty clear TLR is the analytics department at this point. 

Is kopech going to have Tommy John again?  Extremely rare  you as a surgeon knows

This team currently is not a World Series caliber. Things can change, but they needed everything to go right this year and everyone play at their peak potential. They didn’t account for injuries, lack of depth, nor regression. 

It is year 5 of the rebuild. This team should be a juggernaut that is ready to take the American League by the Balls. The Northsiders did it to the NL 5 years back. The Sox can do it too.

Bring in Bummer when there are 2 runners on and tying run at the plate. Or when Trout, Rendon, and Upton are coming up.

Bring in Foster in the 7th with the bases empty and Heuer or someone warming as backup.

Not hard.

And your positive that the 3 hits that Foster gave wouldn't have lead to more?

I disagree that struggling pitchers are as easily handled as you say. Using only 2 pitchers in high leverage situations every game is going to wear them out very quickly.

Now your on to something. 

Man, Abreu must think he can hit any inside pitch thrown to him.

That’s the one thing that’s embarrassing about all of this. They have the players and the talent to do it but it appears that’s not happening as of right now.

Don’t worry, adding Eaton will solve all those woes. It sounds so dumb, doesn’t it!

Is Abreu wearing Eloy's batting gloves? 

Can’t lose games like this

On paper before the season they looked solid af. But obviously that’s why you play out the season.

The need to be careful with pitchers coming off TJ. It was a ligament in the arm. So we are waiting for a different part of the body to fail?

No.

Played absolutely sloppy baseball this road trip.  All 4 losses are arguably games they should have won.

Hey! He's a LHH. Thats all they needed.
