If there is a massive team collapse down the stretch, can even Jerry Reinsdorf be  embarrased into making real  changes?

The same man locked out a world series contending team and raised the white flag during a playoff run.  I think you over estimate his concern for others thoughts.

Injuries don't matter when you have a strong 25 and a 40 with MLB ready players. Injuries are season killers when Garcia is your back up.

Take that back or Tony might travel to Texas to challenge you to a brawl.

Folks that think injuries weren't a problem must be Tony's drinking buddies. Our bench sucked and dropped off even further looking at the rest of the system. 

Rally Engel!

Rally Elvis!

With what money? They are likely tapped out unless they do the incredibly stupid thing and let their best player walk

Go Lucas you suck. 

We keep throwing strikes to Baez.  Throw everything to him in the dirt or way outside or face high.  He doesn’t like to take walks.  Sox don’t adjust.

Pollock, you are absolutely worthless. Bench his ass.

LaRussa thinks Leury is actually Jose Oquendo or the player and not coach McEwing.

Too little too late.  Unless they're trying to drive him into early retirement ala Gil Meche.

No, he'll get $2M more if he plays out the season. They should have benched once the Sox pulled the plug on the season by passing on adding at the trade deadline.

Pollock would have looked for a new team in 2023 plus the $5M player option if he was only due $10M next season. Now that the vested option is up to $13M - $14M, based on the plate appearance incentives the Dodgers knew he wouldn't reach with them because he isn't an everyday player, it's doubtful Pollock is topping that on the open market. 

Lucas with 8 Ks today, still think the Sox are in it tonight with Detroit's bullpen.

Andrew Vaughn with a spectacular home run robbing catch!

I make Gio go 9.  It doesn't matter now and see how much he sucks.

Far better, he will always be able to rake.

Adam Engel (.630 career OPS), not so much. Leury is a better hitter (.644 OPS).
