I'm starting to think that this is just what they are offensively this year. Moncada will help, but there are too many holes in this lineup 

Of course, this guy is up, with 2 on.

Missing fastballs right down the plate 

Fastball right down the middle and Pollock super late again

Caulfield peddling fake news again

Ummm...I never believed that crap. It was always wishful thinking.

Nor was I elated when Pollock was announced...because he is definitely not a RFer.  

Pollock is absolutely killing the Sox right now.

Nice lineup decision Tony...and Hahn struck gold with Pollock

AJ not getting it done

He looks absolutely finished 

The wind must have killed that ball. 99.5 off the bat at 32 degrees and it only went 300 feet somehow. That's almost a barrel. 

I admittedly haven't followed his career, but I've been less than impressed with Pollock so far....the revolving door of shitty OF continues.

And the Dodgers of course with Kimbrel.

If he was a stock picker, you would just execute the opposite of whatever his advice was...

Yeah, at this point, we're 100% on the hook for 10 million on AJ next season. He isn't walking away from that.

Astonishing that we just can’t get 2B and RF right

If he sucks this much I could see him retiring.

Well maybe we should stop being cheap then.

Why would he walk away from a free $10 million?

Moncada will help, Vaughn will help, Eloy will help, and the weather will help. This is definitely not what they are offensively.

Hahn is the Wall Street Bets of General Managers.

He's yet another guy that was good, came to the Sox, and suddenly forgot how to hit.

Well, Eaton and Quentin were originally Dbacks and the only two NL guys who really succeeded in Chicago...why not another?

He's more like Alex Cintron right now.

why would he throw away $10M? 

Pollock's fly out was considered a barrel btw. Which is a good sign. He just chose the wrong park and the wrong day to hit it.

The amount of dead money on the team now is pretty bad.

Doubt he is walking away from a guaranteed 10 mil. Speaking of which, it may be even more than that, if he finds a way to somehow be healthy, AND suck:

2023 option increases $1M each for 400, 450, 500, 550, 600 plate appearances in 2022

Who was the pitcher for Kansas City a few years back who walked away after signing a nice contract because he realized he was done?
