And Jason probably mumbling about the childhood team thing

Funny in retrospect to think how the Sox thought that leaking they were interested in Lopez would distract from the Clevinger allegations.  It’s just the dumbest organization.

Yep it’s clearly not only a talent issue.

There is some talent but it is poorly constructed into this team.  

Sosa's swing is SO LONG

Stop trying to make this Sosa thing happen

How did the minor league development staff think it would ever work in the majors?

Timmy gets a perfect high sinker to pound and can’t hit it out of the infield

It is absolutely ridiculous what they are doing to him.  Another indicator that last year's staff maybe had a clue.  Team seemed to care more last year.  This is a s%*# show.

Because they're awful. They figured he'd just figure it out himself, like he did in the minors. Baseball is littered with talented players who never made that final step, so it's beyond me why you'd ever make that assumption.

Batting him leadoff has always been a terrible idea but they fear moving him and in reality other than 8th or 9th he has no spot.  He can't hit with RISP and cannot do anything a MLB hitter is asked to do at the top of the order. 

Maybe he is just now uninterested but I actually don't think the market is all that great for him. 

Another swing on a hitters count outside the zone. What happened to getting your pitch?

looks like grandal is done, hamstring?

General soreness.

I am shocked Grandal can’t stay healthy.  Another player that I’m very thankful is done after this season.

Long at bat, just wait for Clevinger to make a mistake. Team doesn't look like they can score two more.

hahahahahaha

Clevinger is another guy who should be DFA in the coming months.  Hahn really sucks

No way anyone can watch this series and think anything besides “the Sox are a bottom 5 team in baseball”.   Blow it all up

Got him with that 90 MPH heater baby

There are no bodies to even replace these guys.  Unless they are going to rush guys up this is what it is.  MAy as well run them out there, they are being paid.

Hahn cannot possible still have a job tomorrow....ah who the f*** am I kidding.

So sad how many pieces of this core have taken steps backwards instead of forwards.

Clevinger should change his walkup music to Beck's "I'm a Loser Baby".
