Trade Giolito, Cease, Robert, Anderson with a new regime and a top 5 pick might not be down too long

Is there a new owner also?

In my brain, I knew that Moncada was gonna make that throw, because he always makes it look easy.

Then I remembered it was Hanser.

I think we’re going to see a gigantic payroll reduction next season

The truly agonizing thing about these AAAA types we have been forced to stomach at various times over the past 30 years is that they are so damned close to being actually passable major leaguers that sometimes if you squint you can see it (IE Sheets, Alberto, Leury, Palka). We’ve been so conditioned to root for bums that you can almost see that the bums might be good. Kinda. Maybe.

Def. I have given up however. If the Sox think they are any good, chances are, they ain't.

Ha, another player that has lost all his power.  

Man Tin what a terrible at bat

How many double plays are they gonna hit into tonight? Sheesh

Team loves to hit DP ground balls.

He flat out can’t elevate the ball anymore to LF

Hanser Alberto did this same exact s%*# with the Dodgers. He would be terrible for weeks on end, then have a 12-15 series with 3 homers. Stats can lie sometimes.

Idk how many times they are going to kill any type of rally with runners on base with the good ol ground ball double play combo

Anderson seems like he’s really slumping, more than a usual cold spell. I wonder if his babip magic is finally catching up with him.

Why not put runner in motion on 3-1 with a prime double play candidate?  Is that too difficult for the most generic manager ever?

Turns out changing your entire approach and swing in order to get doubles into the RF corner isn't ideal.

Benintendi is such a bust.

He’s Nick Madrigal now. It’s quite disheartening

Hey, when you need left handed power, go get the guy that had no power the previous season!

Yeah I just don’t get it. Seems like the royals have either turned a DP or nearly missed turning 2 at least every inning so far
