Yep...should have played the same lineup as Tuesday but with these changes: 1. Mendick SS 2. Vaughn RF 3. Robert CF 4. Abreu 1B 5. Burger DH 6. Grandal C 7. Pollock LF 8. Moncada 3B 9. Garcia 2B What is wrong with trying to use as close to a similar lineup as you can every night? Bat the guys who are hot in a row. Edited June 9, 20223 yr by Bob Sacamano

Hahn can only do what Jerry allows him to. That being said his trades are awful and he deserves to be fired. HIs trades are the only thing that have kept him afloat. What are you talking about? Also this is just speculatory BS. Hahn could have signed people for the some time and $ commitment as he committed this off-season and it would have been much more intelligent.

The Sox never use the same lineup. There's no consistency with this team. It's patented La Russa. He does nothing to maximize the play of his players.

People like Harold and Tray are old geezers who shun data and analytics, and are stuck in there ways. Data could literally make most decisions for you without injecting ones pointless gut. Playing the numbers and the odds is better than anyone who plays their gut. I couldn't care less if the old geezers like Tray and Harold don't agree with that; their thought process is archaic and being grinded out of the game for a reason. People like TLR have seen the game pass them by. Which Harold are we talking about? The king scout that is infatuated with Kelenic?

Thanks for doing the digging. I can never get search to work on mobile. Still, that trade is unbelievably bad. Hahn's career would be over if he did that. In Harold's defense, I think the trade was more about getting rid of Madrigal than it was getting Conforto. Vaughn and Cease were pieces to sweeten the pot in order to get the devil reincarnated out of the organization.
June 9, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, tray said: Maybe you're our right , Vaughn should have been in the line-up and playing RF against a tough RH pitcher. Instead TLR put Sheets out there. Sheets had a doublo following Burger's HR. That could have been the inning that the Sox got back in the game. Maybe Vaughn would have homered. Maybe this, maybe that but whatever does not work, it is easy to point fingers , especially at your favorite Manager. I have never seen someone jump on such obvious bait before, but kudos to you.

Yea they are doing well this season but I could tell you if the clubs were reversed, we would be infinitely more pissed off that they didn't make the playoffs last season and would not be accepting their current results as status quo

Some even threaten to become Cub fans. Oh my. I find it all quite amusing. No, you are not smarter than Hahn, TLR, JR or anyone else, but anyway, carry on.. lol @ the bolded. Yeah, I'm sure these are really smart guys. Especially TLR. There are 4 year olds smarter than TLR. The guy has evident dementia. He can't even get up in front of the media after games and coherently speak for longer than 3 seconds, without slurring his words and babbling incoherently. Why do people still feel the need to defend this guy? Holy shit. Edited June 9, 20223 yr by Paulie4Pres

How much advance notice does he require before playing? "I thought I was playing tomorrow, but I'm playing today?! I can't hit under these conditions!" Amazingly there are non starters that can adjust. Just last week we saw some great pinch hitting. Do you think those guys knew in advance they would be asked to pinch hit? No doubt Tony isn't performing up to MLB standards but the players should get their share of the blame. Most everyone blamed Dallas Keuchel for his failures. They point to Garcia's general lack of talent for his inability. Harrison just can't hit anymore and was a poor signing. But other players get a pass and Tony blamed? This works in reverse though. What effective measures is Tony taking to have Yoan hitting. 300? Why can't he convince Yoan to do them?
