It’s funny the Sox spent so much on their own, yet all these other teams have guys with seemingly better stuff.  Spending a fortune on set-up men that throw sinkers is a brutal idea given this team’s defense.

Grandal finally does something on offense and decides he'll just give one of those runs back for the hell of it. 

Immovable object/irresistible force.

Both teams are terrible but someone has to win...eventually.

Not his fault. He should have been taken out for Pollock 

He should be a DH or IB, nothing else.  HE NOT AN OUTFIELDER

Is it just me or should Yoan have fielded that single by Taylor? TA had no shot, but Yoan did.

I feel safe in saying Hahn didn't want the circus we currently have, as the manager.

And like I said the other day he should have resigned if Reinsdorf forced him to hire La Russa! It's his mess now!

How long before people start asking what we can get for Cueto at the deadline?

And why was he still out there? Because he was due up the next inning.

And why was he due up the next inning?

Because he's batting 9th.

Can't make this stuff up.

I'd bet the house that the royals win this.

He has very little value to the Sox as a LF.  Good bat but glove saps almost all his value.

Of course. Jerry, Kenny and Hahn. That's 3

Tony and Jerry

Kenny-Hahn wanted no part of TLR

They should have quit then if they didn't want Tony.

You can get them at +120 right now:

I know you've been snarky about fangraphs lately, but they have him basically as replacement level this season for exactly that reason. yep.

TA failing again with RISP

Timmy fails again with RISP.  Just terrible baseball.

TA can't be pulling that. 

Oh, a groundout.

There's tim doing exactly what the pitcher wanted with a runner on 2nd. He pulled it .

Team fundamentally sucks 

I refuse to watch this team on TV anymore, instead I watched Ted Lasso with the wife and check Sox Talk for updates.

Couldn't even get the runner over.

Grandal isn’t even a catcher anymore, he’s a glorified DH, one of many on this team.
