Yay, team! The Sox are simply rudderless.

The fact that more time was spent addressing Eloy getting spiked or stepped on or shoved than TA once again being right in the middle of yet another national controversy...

Going to be shocked if the Guardians don't blow the Sox out of the water in this one...not going to believe the Sox are galvanized/united for one second this season.

 

Final Sox/Guardians game of 2023

 

“From the second I set foot in the clubhouse, I could tell these teams don’t like each other,” said Cleveland starter Noah Syndergaard, who was acquired in a trade last week. “And I don’t think it’s going to be resolved anytime soon.”

They hit 4 homers and scored 7 runs last night. That usually means a woeful offense performance today.

 

Seby out with an oblique injury.

TA out with TKO 

Luis is awesome. Imagine surrounding with him a competent roster.

Yes, 1 down 25 to go building this roster.

Robert seems pretty much oblivious to everything going on around him.

 

Andrus would be in HoF if his entire career was at Jacobs/Progressive.  Wow.  5/8 this weekend.

I'm sure he didn't want to answer direct media questions whether he was in the concussion protocol for being knocked out on his feet, essentially.

Moncada did that deliberately just to change the baserunners?

Can't believe it.  Think he just completely lost it.

Every time I’ve seen Rocchio hit so far he seems like a White Sox prospect.  Just zero approach at the plate.  The Guardians probably made the right choice punting on this season even being a few games out because that team is not capable of winning in the postseason even if they get there.

Get out of here with that bush nonsense.

To be fair, it could be a fastball down the plate and hit Ramirez in his gigantic head

"I feel like Tim Anderson disrespects the game" according to Ramirez's response to broadcaster Tom Hamilton relayed on pregame interview with Terry Francona.

First career game Ramirez was ejected.

Apparently started with Anderson trash talking Gabriel Arias and being told to cut it out by umpires earlier.

Can't believe this hadn't been talked about more. I'll usually defend Sox players regardless of whether they're right or wrong but if you look at the whole story starting Friday TA looks like a tool.

On the other hand, Yoan might be the worst player in baseball now.  Just sit him the rest of the way.

Knowing he's going to be suspended, why proceed with the "planned" day off Pedro?

LOL, you would have thought someone knifed him in the leg or something the way he was going on and on last night, throwing his hands in the air like he'd been shot.

You mean to tell me Eloy was the only one who had his foot stepped on in that scrum.  Please Eloy, stop being such a BIG BABY and show some of that light tower power we all heard about.

Congrats to Andrus for finally having a higher Slugging % than On Base %. It's only August, padding that 62 OPS+ as well!

Andrus has flown past Timmy and Yoan in terms of OPS, and I still don’t think I’ve seen Andrus get a hit when I’ve been watching a game this year 

Solid start for Scholtens but 2 runs isn’t enough offense. Time to get him out because he’s getting hammered now.

First game I've watched since May.. turn on in 5th inning.  Indians hit 2b Hr 2b.  Probably be another blow out now.  Let's atleast see round 2 

Elvis giveth, Elvis taketh away

Hated to see Burger traded. This  means we have to have Moncada in the starting lineup thru 2024.

Isn't it funny that Elvis somehow is hitting better when we are completely out of it and nobody cares anymore similar to last year

Lane Ramsey MLB debut...
