People dramatically overstate how "overpaid" all of the Sox young core is on their extensions once they start struggling.

Nah I just like to point out how dumb it is to buy out arbitration years to the point where it hamstrings the front office’s ability to sign free agents

The whole BP is available correct?

Diekman, Graveman, Hendricks.

Yeah, I think they should let Cease throw to at least Taveras and have Diekman ready to face Smith.

Maybe we're grasping at straws, but this is the first time he's shown a pulse at the plate in months

I mean the guy looked like he couldn't lift the ball for the past 2 weeks. The fact that he's at least flashing warning track power is an improvement. His bat speed just looks awful right now. 

Seby another bad ab

I’ll pass on Leury at 3B. 

Pitchers just going right at TA.

The "Cease isn't an ace because he doesn't pitch enough innings" discourse is dead, right?

Used to hear the same argument about Scherzer early in his career. 

Oh look, he pulls off another pitch.  These guys are killing the offense.

Have a game TA.  Yikes. 

This is about the ugliest stretch of hitting from TA that I can remember.

Have a game TA

TA needs to serve his suspension. 

Change the game!

How many broken hitters does it take to fire somebody?

I’m ready for the TA experience to be located in another city, tbh.

Corbin Burnes won the CY award last year averaging 5.9 innings per start. It's a new era of pitching, for better or worse.

Time for Tim to serve his suspension… playing some soft teams / pitchers.  It’s cringeworthy to watch him right now

yeah now seems like a good time to server that suspension

tim looking pretty horrible

Let's state this right now, before we go bitching about LaRussa upcoming management of the pitchers for the next 3 innings, the offense has FAILED big time once again.

Looks like 2017-2018 TA lately. Would concur TA should just take the suspension. My guess is he takes it after tomorrow and sits out Sunday and Tuesday.

I guess that’s what happens when you have to start making your own spaghetti 

So there's 2 left handed hitters coming up in the next 4 hitters and TLR goes with Kelly over Diekman?
