Is that the first 123 inning tonight?

The one game McGuire shows up and he's still the goat for not running full out.

Earlier in the year, he made one of the best backups of an errant throw to Abreu and prevented the ball going into the dugout.

Now malaise has set in, reflecting the manager's lack of energy.

The two worst acquisitions this team made were Grandal when we already had a quality catcher and Kimbrel when we already had a quality closer. To insanely stupid moves. How about fill spots that are needed like second base or right field?

I am in no way defending Grandals 2022 performance. He’s been awful. 

But he was worth his contract plus a good amount in years 1 and 2 of his deal. 

Let's go boys just need 1 but more is better !

He's fucking dead to me if that's the case

Lol I thought someone posted he said something about vaccines. Him not being there just raised the question is all.

Who would you have leadoff today? 

Today...Engel. Speed on base path to get in the head of pitcher during our hottest hitter (vaughn)

I already burned my 5-year-old son's Cease poster today. Would be a real shame if I have to do the same to my wife's Steve Stone Playgirl centerfold poster.

Even if they are buyers at the trade deadline, I hope they trade Grandall!

Sure, if they eat $25 million.

We might set a record for wasted?salaries.

That would be around $50 counting Keuchel and Harrison.  $60 million with Pollock.  No even going to start in on Moncada or Kelly.

McCann has been a disaster since he signed with the Mets. At least Grandal has given the Sox 2 good years of production.

Don’t forget the Sox also had Omar Narvaez!  He has done well in Milwaukee!

If Robert was reinstated, why isn’t he playing?

You can't get hurt if you don't play.

I'd say to pinch run for AV if he reaches but the rest of our bench has since passed on

McGuire the goat? Really ? No reason for Mendick to risk the tag up when the game is about to be tied .

AV with 4 hits, all of them against very good RHP. He is legit, folks.

The new banner seems to have jump started our bats however

Or at least pinch hitting for Grandal in the 8 th.

Watch TLR Rest Vaughn after a 4 hit game

Normally that would be really funny but no energy to even laugh anymore.

Vaughn on fire.

That's actually a very good point. I did forget about Narvaez.

Cause it would be righty on righty

They both will share blame, but we can hardly bench Mendick for Leury's circus of comedy.

Elite bat speed there by Jose. Hand to ball and boom.

Keep it going boys !

of course. No one on this team can hit fly balls when it's needed.

sigh.

Fire everyone
