You just know he's beaming inside ready to say 'I told you so!' and bat him leadoff the rest of the series.

Instead of Benintendi, who was actually doing well leading off instead of being worthless batting lower.

could you imagine kopech's era if he played for the rockies?

It’s impressive he’s 2nd in most walks and homers

2024 lineup has one hit from Vaughn.

Sox are gonna leapfrog the Rockies for 3rd in the tank standings after this series.

They're definitely going to threaten the worst attendance numbers in New Comiskey next season...

These assholes aren’t even trying tonight besides Andrus.

That was a drill the whole team was doing including the coaches.

Are you sure, Balta?  It didn't appear that way when I saw it here.

Hahn will give Elvis a two year plus team option deal this offseason.

Meh. This version is not a starting outfielder regardless where he bats. Can't even be a reserve outfield because of his week arm. People were excited because he bats left handed, but you can't play a starting corner outfielder to hit a couple HRs and .700 ish OPS.

People b**** about Moncada, but he had two great seasons (4.0 and 5.5) here for $66M total including the post 2024 buyout. Don't see Benintendi getting more than 5,5 fWAR over a full five seasons / $75M, with minimal upside potential.

Kopech a total bust and head case 

Pathetic team crushing a more pathetic team. Most embarrassing team of my lifetime. 

Thanks JR, you piece of doo

Meanwhile, Burger with another big game.  That trade is off to a very bad start.

If he was on the Sox he'd still be logging sombreros with the occasional HR. 

Edited August 19, 20232 yr by baseballgalaly

Burger  1 1 1 3

.236, 27 homers, 63 RBIs

7-1 Marlins over Dodgers...both Cincy and Florida overtaking the Cubs

Only lost by 2 TD's to the Broncos. NOT BAD

People around here couldn't wait to ship off a guy who busted his ass and hit for power because he's just another Palka or some such s%*#.

Just because of the way he looks.

And he's actually one of the fastest players on the Sox team for 2023 because he consistently hustled...and already deceptively quick for that body type.

10-1 Marlins

former Sox trade target Jazz Chisholm three run tater down RF line

Now five homers in total, two Soler, Gonsolin goodbye and Burger up again now against a reliever

No, just one of five DH/1B they need to convert to prospects with everyone else. He's in his 30s, good chance out of baseball the next time the Sox have a legitimate contending team.

Need to get as many prospects as possible over the next 12 months, have a new FO have a road map to compete in 2026 or 2027.

Jake Burger is 27.

There’s nothing anyone could have said to make me believe this was a 95-100 loss team going into the season. This is truly an abomination of a season, just awful.
