August 9, 20223 yr To be fair, we've been with out Tim Anderson for 4-6 weeks already in a way... Last 30 games: Player A: .286BA, .300OBP, 10 runs, 1 homer, 3rbi Player B: .258BA, .289OBP, 14 runs, 1 homer, 4rbi One is Tim Anderson in 93 AB's, the other is Leury Legend over 49 AB's. Take away? In the words of Marshawn Lynch - got to get your mentals right. Balancing a disaster in your home life and then trying to hit major league arms isn't very easy. If I'm even going to spin zone this, it may be helpful to have him out of the locker room for a few weeks ... Let's see if Sosa can step up and take the reigns. If not, Romy is now healthy too batting .471 in August (1 week) with 4HR last week, 10 RBI.

I think the announcement has to do with the suspension. I'm not sure you can serve it from the IL, so you do it this way -- suspension on Sunday/first game of DH. You have Sosa up for 1st game of DH to take his spot while he serves his suspension, Reynaldo comes back and Timmy goes on IL for "Game 2". Suspension served and you're not shorthanded for Game 1 in the infield. That way he doesn't have to serve anything when comes back. Also why they were super quiet about it and why the airport pictures were worth discussing ... smoke = fire

August 9, 20223 yr Whatever. Numb to it by now. Would love to watch Sosa play regularly, but that won't happen as long as Leury is around.

But probably the reality of the situation. TLR will be back because his ego won't let him go out like this. He and JR will chalk this up to injuries and just bad luck. Everyone but the hitting coach will be back next year for another ride of the Titantic surprise ending.

This org would be dumb enough to both 1) Bring back that clown and 2) Assume they will magically be healthy next year.

August 9, 20223 yr This is bad news of course, but despite hitting a little over .300, I don't think Anderson was contributing all that much. In the past, he seemed to ignite this team. Not so this year. Before I would say this would be devastating. I don't feel that way now.

While I think Romy is interesting, he's been dealing with injuries almost the entire season, and that weekly stat line is a 25 year old beating up on children in the ACL.
August 9, 20223 yr In a vacuum, losing TA hurts. Going from even the TA of the last few weeks to Leury is serious downgrade. But this isn't the loss it was earlier in the season when TA went down. I hope to see Sosa get some serious run, but I think it'll be a 50/50 timeshare at best with Leury. Let's hope Sox are still in this thing when they get a healthy (and hopefully recharged and rejuvenated) TA back mid to late September. Edited August 9, 20223 yr by ChiSox59

I wouldn't be surprised if Tony and Hahn weren't extended until at least 2024 or 2025 last offseason after their AL Central Division Championship and Game 3 win over Houston.

I would be surprised and impressed if somehow this turned into a 50/50 split on playing time.
