It’s still a bad team. Don’t let a solid week or two fool you as it has others

We also seem to get destroyed whenever we go with the “Sunday lineup”

Yeah I’m gonna say I made a good call not going to this game lol

Yeah I don’t understand this lineup on a Wednesday. Rojas Capra and Paliocios is insane. 

What bothers me is you got momentum from yesterday's win and you take the wind out of the sail with this s%*# lineup....  Palacios 4th? Did he sell his soul for that. Any team hitting Palacios 4th deserves to be laughed at

Elko deciding not to swing on fastballs down the plate is certainly a bad choice

Did the same in Cincy.  Also not sure why they left Burke in to die.

When did Owen White come up

June 5. 

27 players made their Sox debut in 2016. That was a franchise record. 

2024- 42 players

2025 so far- 31 players

Any team with Palacios on the MLB roster*

It's fairly obvious we have a new rabbi in town when it comes to pitch selection, which is great and all and is leading to more walks, but it's a game of constant adjustment. Being down 0-2 isn't going to work for anybody. 

Just checked the box score

I guess I'm a little embarrassed to say "who in the hell is Owen White"

Picked up on waivers from the Yankees in February....don't remember that at all

Pitched 1 inning for the Rangers' WS team in 2023 as well...

That's assalytics for you. 

Meidroth for the Beckham hair seal of approval.

My gosh. Sox returned to normal form on road and just got slugged by Houston. Never a ballgame. Annihilation.

He needs to lift and pull such pitches over the wall.

missed this one, probably for the best that I did. Looks like Burke got ate up. What's up with him? Is he any good? Regarding all of our starting pitchers, I wonder, are any of them actually any good?

He's our symbol of You gotta have 13 pitchers' philosophy.

Burke was throwing batting practice serving up off-speed pitches right down the middle.  Don't take much more from the game beyond that. 

I wonder what pitches/locations Keel was actually calling for. Maybe should have had a mound visit to ask Burke what he was doing, where he was aiming pitches, and if he was feeling OK. That was brutal, juice.

Smith is good, maybe a solid 2nd starter. Davis and Cannon are decent 5th starters. We need a lot more.
