The Sox have had more guys off waivers bat cleanup in the last 3 years then the entire history of the franchise, probably. Just a disgusting lineup in every way. I get resting guys. I don't get forcing Acuna or Grichuk into the lineup or batting Sam 9th. Makes zero fucking sense.

Worst lineup of the year, so undoubtedly Sox will win it like 8-3.

Angels

Neto - SS

Trout - CF

Schanuel- 1B

Soler - DH

Adell - RF

Moncada - 3B

Grissom - 2B

Rivero - C

Lowe - LF

Aldegheri - P

Angels looked so bad last night, hard to say how much was Martin and how much was just an awful lineup swinging at anything. We can compete tonight obviously but it's going to take another great pitching performance.

Acuña 🤮

How you gonna bat Sam 9th with that 4-8. Good lord

Quero wakes up tonight and Sox win 7-2.

this fucking lineup, holy s%*#

Should've given Mune tomorrow off, day game and the Sox have been bad in day games

Isn’t that a reason to have his bat in the lineup tomorrow?

Sox need to take advantage of basket-case teams and whack the Angels two more times.

As bad as the lineup appears to be (Grichuk just signed and batting cleanup?), all they have to do is keep it a close game until the Angels bullpen blows the game.

If any SoCal Soxtalk kin are going to be in attendance - shoot me a text message or a DM. @CaliSoxFanViaSWside, I’m sitting really close to where we were after punching the ticket to the 2005 World Series. 💪🏼

A lot of weak mindsets in this thread right now. Have you seen that dugout and how they act? All will be well.

Has to be named Dante, opposing P

Tigers getting smoked

Cleveland down early to KC

First place or bust

Assuming a victory every game out...especially on the road, is equally dubious

Yeah, but you watch to watch them win. Assuming a victory every game is a more beneficial delusion than the negativity bs.

I would argue get him in the lineup so the games you usually win is more certain. not to try and win games that already aren't in your favor. plus a win tonight would lock in a 3rd consecutive series win

Sox are 7-11 in day games, and I think Mune has been in the lineup in all of those games

That's crazy but also something I suspected was happening based on how good the umping has been this year. ABS is just an all around winner. Good job Manfred.

I'm glad for some sensible use of technology in officiating.

Count me among the weak mindsets for tonight's game. I wanted to see an all out push to get to .500 and beyond. Not get to within a game and take a day off.

It’s all about Fedde keeping it close.

Angels bullpen is 💩.

Yes, and MLB has done the best job of all the major NA leagues with it. NFL is finally allowing the "sky ref" to do some calls. NBA is way, way behind. Don't watch enough hockey to have an opinion. NBA is by far the worst, it's somehow worse than it was 5 year ago, they've gone backwards.
