really? already with Oscar....f*** this org.

Better than sitting on the bench.

My lineup tonight-

Anderson, Haseley, Vaughn

Burger, Grandal, Eloy

Benintendi, Robert, Andrus

If no Beni, Hamilton 9th, and move the other two up.

Forgot he existed for a sec.  He's better in the field, but hardly worth giving regular ABs.  Gotta love an org that prioritizes depth.

That’s debatable. He was a top 100 prospect a couple years ago. Just playing with effort would give him a leg up on some other players

Sorry, I'd rather watch Oscar Colas play on a loser team every day of the week, than Billy Hamilton. This organization really has no grasp on logic or reality. Billy Hamilton...really?

Desperate times call for desperate measures. 

Oscar Colas is almost 25 years old. Dude is older than Tatis Junior. Let the kid play and flame out. 

funny thing is Billy is probably their best option of a clubhouse veteran that at least a few of them will listen to

does he speak Spanish? Lol

Send him down, hope he starts hitting again, get the extra year of control, call him back up. Hamilton will just be a pinch runner and defensive sub anyway.

Welcome back, Alex Colome.....the Gamethreads have missed you.

 

I like today's lineup. It's all on Kopech to finally turn potential into results.

If we gotta be bad, at least we get fun?

Colás was struggling mightily, and sitting on the bench in Chicago isn't doing him any good.  I'm bothered by how they handled him too, but what can we do?

Haseley helps win last game in a number of ways....Sheets starts very next game. 

And Grifol is good because???

LOL AT THAT LINEUP

It is nice to see TA back in the lineup (even if you don't think he's really a leadoff hitter like myself).

What made anyone think Colas was even close to ready for the show? Dude looked overwhelmed by major league pitching. How does that get better in Charlotte?

Well for one he can actually go down and play every day rather than sitting on the bench for half the games. That's at least something.

Yeah I don't get sitting a guy the very next game after he has a huge day.  It's not like you need Sheets in the lineup or something, and Haseley would give you better defense.

The AAA teams will see what the MLB teams were doing to get him out. They will do it too. So he will get.....practice and hopefully make the necessary adjustments. This happens while he can play everyday without hurting the big league club and not feeling MLB pressure.

Absolutely!

What are you hoping for when you play him in the OF? Hoping he does something in 3 at bats before pulling him, hopefully with the lead? He’s awful.

More re-treads, good job RH

Over/ under kopech HRs allowed at 2.5. 

I say under

Sheets would never be on a roster of a legitimately contending team. Then again neither does “MVP” Haseley, who at least can field a baseball.

I guess he is trying to steal three at bats and will swap in Hamilton or Haseley in the 6th/8th if the game is still meaningful.

Plus you get an extra controllable year, which was heavily debated over the past several months on SoxTalk.

Gotta save Reinsdorf money when you can, though he’s not in this business to make money based on his comments yesterday.

Except as a platoon DH and part time 1B.  We already recognized long ago Sheets should never ever be in the outfield. 

And Haseley at the very least earned another start...he must feel discouraged. 

I guess it's because Sox PR is hyping Larry errr Gavin up yet again as the next Palka-esque hope of the franchise.  Ridiculous. 

Not even 1987 Orioles fans would buy that one.
