First pitch homer by Mullins off Bieber

(I know, who cares)

Edited September 1, 20223 yr by flavum

Wasn’t it public knowledge that Eloy was going to have periods of leg soreness after he tore his hamstring??

Not sure why all the hate for a guy who’s been decent since the all star break and this also happened a couple of weeks ago and he was in the lineup the next day. Let’s just see if he’s in the lineup tomorrow. Without him, this lineup is truly pedestrian.

I watched the 2020 playoff highlights today. Two things….Eloy has put on a ton of weight and screw Madrigal for choking in game 2

Some of the Chicago writers have told me the same thing, Eloy is a LOT heavier. Wonder if he's turning into Avasail Garcia, a guy who publicly admitted he didn't keep himself in the best of shape when he was with the Sox.

Andrus has been just what the doctor ordered

I am really not an Eloy aplologist. I said in an earlier post that Eloy needed a treadmill. But, hey, the guy has had a terrible two years of health and I am willing to cut him some slack. Get to the off-season, get in shape but I will be right with the ‘time to move on’ crowd if he comes in next year in the same shape.

But don't you dare say he's "INJURY PRONE" to Rick Hahn, he's libel to throw another hissy-fit like he did before!

Believe me when I say Rick Hahn and his hissy fits are the last thing on Earth I fear, and I’ll tell it to him in person when he comes out to see his shadow on February 2, 2023.

If Eloy is overweight then the Sox need to give him a mandate to get to a good weight. This isn't hard.

Well, never say never…let’s eat some Twinkies this weekend.

Potentially eliminated 33% of the deficit in 6% of the games remaining….crazier things have happened. I told myself I wouldn’t let them pull me back in but another 1 or 2 in a row and I got not shot.

We’ve been invested up until now. Why not continue.

Do I gotta watch these 2 jabronis Yonder and this other jabroni?

Yonder was positive on the Sox, actually predicting that we would make the playoffs. Said Cueto was friendly to him while with the Reds and invited him to his home for BBQs.  Also said Leury was one of his favorite Sox players, always ready to play any position with eight gloves in his locker.  Some tid bits.

Additional comment.

Interested post game comments from Pollock:

“It’s been frustrating this year,” Pollock said. “We’ve had times where we had a lot of meetings and it really just comes down to us. It was good to get the guys together. We had some guys speak their mind a little bit. We’re going to get after it and see what happens the last 30-whatever games.”

I wonder how many meetings they've had? Only two that I know of were reported by the media.

Remember what Ozzie said one time, "Good teams win games...bad teams have meetings..."

Jose used to run him around the block at 5 am during ST. Need to keep that going. Eloy needs to stay in shape.

Give him a bat that reaches the left batter's box.

Or perhaps a #3 wood.

More like a cricket bat.

Outfield defense today is so damn bad.

Daily reminder the Sox are likely paying this awful 6-7-8 in the order nearly 40 million next year 

Can Hahn ask for a refund?

I don't doubt that. But it was just tedious to be honest

To be honest I did see a lot more smiles and laughter in the dugout. Cairo seems loose maybe they loosen up. Maybe it's what they need.

No dice 

I'm trying to regain pennant/playoff fever but then  I see Martin  the starting pitcher   Friday nights game. I would rather have Lambert starting. Does anybody know when Kopech will come back?
