Naylor is only trying to hit a HR. You should be able to strike him out knowing that. You should also not be giving him anything he can drive. 

He still has a much lower than average strikeout rate. Naylor is just a really good hitter vs RHP.

I keep asking this, but I’ve never seen another team pull a stunt like the Sox have with him.

It makes no sense....it doesn't help him or the team now or long term.  Shut him down and figure out if he needs surgery or just rest and/or rehab.

And who cares if he says he feels good.  It’s obvious he’s still hurt.

What is actually wrong with him?

It's not like they need a left handed hitting outfielder who plays good defense in right field ?

Compare this throw to what we saw from Vaughn earlier in the game. Colas playing in RF, or just not having Pollock in the lineup at all, may have prevented the Guardians lone run so far

 

Sox are just squeezing every penny out of his service time and only really care about finishing in second place.

He's 24 years old already!!!

oh for a legit power bat…

Cease giving it his all without his best stuff, and should have a shut out going.

Its go time.  Hit the fucking ball and score runs.  

1 run on 4 hits, yet feels like we are down 10…

Hand seems to be obviously bothering him 

I just tuned into the game. Oh boy. The Sox bats are dead again. Yay, though, Elvis with the hit.

Please hit a homer you pitiful fucks.

The lineup getting to see Civale for a 3rd time in a game of this magnitude is such a gift.

Elvis must not have gotten the memo to take it easy running down to first.  Let's go Sox!

Maybe, but this game is different, and he’s looking to make a difference. Everyone can see it. Use it against him. 

Everyone please start hustling like Elvis

Something with his hand. The tinfoil hat in me says he's playing it up for some reason but I have no idea why. His reactions don't make any sense regardless

And Cairo is an asshat for going along with it.

I agree with you 1000%

That assumes Cairo has final say. Think he has third say, behind Tony's calls and Rick Hahn's input.

Hahn interfered with that asinine Joe Kelly opener game, haven't heard reports of meddling since, but that doesn't mean he hasn't.

It’s definitely a wrist injury. It started when Schoop landed on his wrist on like August 11. 

They played the stupid dumb foolish “don’t put him on the IL” game  and brought him back 6 days later.

He had 4 good strong games then aggravated the injury on a swing at the end of the 4th game. That was like on August 22 or so.

He has I believe 1 hit win  since then.

Oh boy

I don't see how you can possibly overturn this.

Call stands

Time for NY to screw us again?
