FOX probably pays him $2-$3M a year to do this job. Would the Sox pay him that to be the bench coach?

Steve tweets the company line, and tweeted an AJ Managerial Stint would not happen with this team.

holy crap a leadoff single

At least Pollock can still hit lefties

I know a lot of people would hate this, but if the Sox can cash in on Cueto for a Pilkington equivalent prospect (whether it's a SP or outifleder) they should do it

I still can’t believe Twins got Ryan for Cruz

That is a great comparison, actually. Yep. The Twins aren't in 1st place without Ryan. That's exactly the type of deal the Sox should be trying to make.

AJ really wants to manage and has already said he would take any phone call from JR. 

I feel like a team would eventually turn on AJ if he became a manager. 

Haha AJ always kissing up to Sox fans...calling it New Comiskey ?

Making McGuire start against a lefty when you have 3 catchers is so TLR.

This is where Timmy should excel

excel at a ground ball that he tries to pull?

They probably will; just on the Rays side of the trade.

didn't see a walk coming

And I don’t think it would take very long for them to turn on him. You ever hear how AJ’s former teammates talk about him? Jon Garland was in the booth a few years ago talking about how he didn’t like AJ and he didn’t sound like he was joking. 

Not a strike 

Yoan blown away by 92 down the plate 

92 right down the middle and super late.

Strike 1 was 3" from being an actual strike, but Moncada swinging through 92 right down the middle for strike 2 is laughable. He's been better lately- hard to stay that bad- but someone or 3 here has to get scorching hot

He didn't like AJ. Pierzynski confirmed it. Obviously he's a different scenario but I'd be willing to bet nobody was liked by everyone he ever played with

Robert seemed to be that guy and then got hurt

nice! can't catch up to 92 so a walk is the best case scenario

Great at bat from Moncada.

Wow rare Yoan walk. Need a big hit against a bad pitcher for Vaughn.

Sox got a big break there!

Absolutely horrible at bat by Vaughn
