if those two teams put up any sort of resistance I'd bet they'd have finished in 3rd place.

The manager has helped drive roster acquisitions, for one

I wish we could get more clarity on the extent of this. I definitely believe it, but I want to know which decisions are Tony decisions.

I hope that old piece of shit (TLR) and this crap organization keep getting roasted by baseball people. 

Obviously they don't give a fuck what their fans say. Maybe as they become a laughing stock by baseball people then someone will care.....

That wasn’t even close to his best stuff.  He was able to get the fastball velocity up but clearly couldn’t snap off the slider like he had been.  Go watch his outing in NY and tell me he couldn’t have dominated in the postseason if healthy.

Regardless, they weren't winning that series.

If you’re saying Yolbert, that’s kinda scary. I’m not sold on him at all.

Okay wise-guy… if Yolbert Sanchez was named XYZ top 5 prospect and he was hitting .315, bet you would be calling for him to be up… stats & production > bullshit rankings

 

You probably own a Leury Garcia jersey ?

Top 6 were Latin players and 0-23

Is Burger Latin?  I think you meant top 5. Does TLR speak Spanish to chew them out?  Maybe we should have kept Rentería…..

Yeah, they had the division wrapped up essentially before the all star break because these two teams had bad years. You are such a clown.

Get real. The Twins were hurt and bad and Cleveland had no interest in winning games. They would have finished in 3rd at best in the other AL divisions last year.

Should not have been hitting 3rd either.

The hell is up with LaRussa. If not for his reputation, he’s absolute cannon fodder for an angry media mob. For every game where he gets it right, there are like 5 head scratching lineups. And random, seemingly.

The Sox in 2020-2021=the 2011 Bulls. Just not good enough.

This loss was predetermined before the start of the game because of the terrible lineup construction.  Girardi and Madden were recently fired for much less incompetence.

I HIGHLY doubt anyone outside of his direct relatives has one.

Unless a leftover autographed charity one at below cost.

I would say terrible starting 9, not just the construction 

this team needs a shakeup, bring up some kids.

He is ruining his legacy. Becoming a cartoon character. Should resign for his own good and the good of the team.

Mother of God. Embarrased 

Leury "A Guy I want to Give 4 ABs To" Garcia

Leury "Feeling Better in the Box For Weeks" Garcia

I don't understand how you guys think that the team was championship quality in 2020-2021. They were clearly not. It showed during the 2nd half of the season and in the playoffs. 

It's hard to blame them for losing when they just got beat by better teams.

His production has been very blah at Charlotte.  I mentioned earlier, but I’m more interested in a real upgrade.  Also, I’m one of the few on here that have talked to people that have seen Yolbert actually play and the reports were that he makes a lot of soft contact and didn’t necessarily look like a major leaguer.

Yoan needs to watch some tape of his swing from 2019 and ditch whatever the hell he’s trying to do now.  He’s unplayable right now with an OPS near .400.

Moncada doesn't love the game. He isn't driven to be a great player. He is set for life financially at a very young age. He has no incentive to improve.

No reason to be upgrading until the winter. 

There's not much the Sox can do, too much dead weight. 

They have to hope that Moncada gets his shit together. 

I think Grandal, Leury and Pollock are just done, and completely expecting Lynn to come up here and be a gascan. 

Edited June 9, 20223 yr by Jack Parkman

Other than Cueto, which Dominican or Cuban player has outperformed?  I guess Ruiz might be the other.

Abreu Robert Moncada Garcia Jimenez...something has changed in that clubhouse or its management.

Might as well just sneak the Cuban National/Olympics/WBC coach or Abreu's choice in to replace TLR.

Because they can't eat all those contracts by any stretch of the imagination.

So happy to see other crews state the obvious 

Dave says Hahn was forced to sign Leury, basically. Not that this is surprising.

Seriously what does it hurt to give Sanchez a look? He can't be any worse than what is being run out there right now and he might be better. I know the Sox are dragging their feet because they are only 5GB and they figure there is a long way to go. But that 5GB can turn in to 10GB in a real hurry.

I'd love to see a brash crew basically laugh at Tony and clown him on television for this type of stuff. They were pretty blunt here, though.
