You're still not yet accounting for Eloy's ongoing injuries, Pollock opting in for next season, another year of Leury and some type of "retirement gift contract" for Jose Abreu.

Suddenly the Sox are the new Baltimore Orioles. 

I get so jealous when I see players on other teams sprint down the line or near the wall and not get hurt

If there’s a time to fuck with shit - it’s now. Also… guess Devers and Kopech would have been the right call after all.

They didn't want to deal Benintendi (wrong move, clearly) or Devers (especially) at that time.

 

Heard Dennis Eckersley (TV analyst and former LaRussa star) already warned Tony we were absolutely going to get steamrolled...he's not in Chicago for this road trip, though.

Good game for Vaughn 

Might have to promote Vaughn to being the 2nd lead-off hitter, if he's even in tomorrow's lineup at all

Bullpen saver should be a new role defined on a roster.

And Hahn got himself one of the best out there. (at least that's what Hahn would say to JR on his exit interview before getting canned in October)

Yep, let's hold em under 20 runs and call it a night

Tony is so funny with his rest. Taking Timmy out is so soft, just cause team is getting bludgeoned. He had two hits, let him have a night.

Vaughn needs to be batting 2nd and Moncada 9th.

Nah it’s smart.  If he gets hurt playing a few pointless innings, the season is over for the Sox.

From a few years ago when they had all of the bloated contracts for terrible players?

Saving your best players from this meaningless trainwreck is actually one of the smartest things LaRusaa has done all season.

How in holy hell do you hold the Yankees to 1 run in a double header than give up 16 runs, for now, 2 days later?

Burger got a cookie on the pitch before the one in the dirt. Bash the ball.

Why? This team blows. Just let him hit.

He's been on the IL 3 years in a row with hamstring issues. I believe last year he was IL'd for it twice. There is definitely some extra injury risk with him I think a lot of people pretend doesn't exist.

Slaughter rule invoked

It'd be nice if we had public data on hitters bat speed because it doesn't seem to be there with Yoan at all

Think Moncada got one actual strike that whole AB

Chris Davis would be a perfect fit to bring over to solve the LHH problem.

Seeing this tweet as Benetti mentions Bryce Harper hitting a massive HR for the Phillies sure is something. Bryce Harper has won an MVP with the Phillies and will go into the Hall of Fame wearing a Phillies hat. Good thing the Sox didn't pay up for him, though.

There is never a good time to criticize this front office, manager, or ownership group, apparently.

Yeah, I know my position is wrong, the opinion provided just cause I'm so pissed. No need to risk injury. I'm just pretty much accepting the team blows and moves like that really are unnecessary cause this team is no good.

I worship Stoney but he probably should get off Twitter a while. It can drive you crazy and he's been a little bossy lately.

One hall of fame baseball person is described in the making of this sentence.
