As bad as this lineup looks is still better than most from the last ten years. Oh how we suffered.

“Doc, I’m out of Norco, could you call something in?”

”Are you still in pain?”

Tex shown as him the Sox line up and drives to pharmacy.

No @soxfan49 today?

Hope Jose gets some rest and the Sox can take two of three with him out. Hoping Eaton can play tomorrow to keep Garcia and Hamilton from both being in the lineup.

Go Sox!

I was about to consider us getting swept and then I saw the Twins lineup. Donaldson, Cruz, and Polanco can rake, but the rest is meh.

You know it’s bad when we look forward to Eaton returning to the lineup.

Could Gallo get to Minneapolis, in time for tomorrow's game vs. a right hander. HELP!!

Totally understandable if we have trouble generating runs and if that happens, expect the same sour bunch here calling the Sox a bunch of losers ?

I will be there tonight (and tomorrow) cheering on the boys!  Lets get a dub!  Sad to see Jose will miss the series.  

Twins have a career infielder playing center tonight tho cuz Kepler got hurt yesterday too.  They're just as banged up as we are.  Let's find a way to get a W tonight! 

When do tickets for next week go on sale?  Tryna buy some tix but nothing is available on the sox website

Twins have all infielders playing in the outfield. I think we can win without abreu 

My pick to click is Mendick.

Billy should just bunt every time. 

A couple of bold predictions. Minny will have more errors than runs today in a 4-1 losing effort. In other words the Twins will gift us a win.

Minnesota has a worse lineup than us and worse pitching matchups this series. No reason for us to not be competitive at the very least.

Good reminder that this was our roster in 2019. We're just two years removed from an outfield that featured names like Cordell, Skole, Palka, Tilson, and Jay.

Two years. We're pretty spoiled that we only have to complain about 2-3 spots on the roster.

Honestly, the top 5 of the lineup isn't bad at all. Grandal at 6 is okayish. 7-9 obviously horrid.

We really don't have any kids we can give a shot in the minors over what we are trotting out there??

Sheets and Rutherford I'd be down giving a brief stint to if/when Eaton ends up on IL.

They should bring up Sheets and stick him at first until the Big Mon returns.  Vaughn stays in left.

Yep the talent level of the offense is dreadfully thin right now

When are we getting Engel back?  That would help a lot!

Let's get it!

Which is dumb. TLR is too rigid to play Grandal and Collins at the same time. Against righties they should both be in the lineup with Vaughn.

nice take TA.
