13 hours ago13 hr At the game tonight repping the southside. I hope we knock Skubal out in the 1st inning. Let’s gooo
13 hours ago13 hr Sox LH oriented lineup kills RH pitching but some of our hitters are vulnerable to LH starters. Could be a rough game tonight against Skubal. I agree about Acuna though. That flyball he botched into a double yesterday was a joke. He is a net negative for the team. DFA.

Gonzo likely goes back to the Minors when Mune returns. I thought Jacob could be the LH DH, but Benny has taken over that role with his recent clutch hitting and power. Gonzo could be back though. He is a good player. Edited 12 hours ago12 hr by tray
12 hours ago12 hr I remember watching Tarik Skubal's first start in 2020 against the Sox. We chased him after 2 innings. Lets do it again!

He is a good player.Cause then you aren't putting Vargas at first.Acuna's inability to play OF defense is maddening.

Pretty simple connection actually.Mune will still get days at DH, probably a bit more often than before coming off an injury.If you want to minimize movement in the IF, you need someone between Mune and Vargas on the 1B depth chart.

I vote upgrade the bench and grab Espinal and maybe Slater temporarily. Both guys who usually hit lefties but haven’t really this year (both SSS)
10 hours ago10 hr Been a near perfect easy Friday at the office, great US win and now Sox back home against a team we should beat 2/3. Let's get it going tonight boys!

Both guys who usually hit lefties but haven’t really this year (both SSS)You're only seeing Acuna so much this week because they are running into a stretch of LHP with Mune sidelined. If Gonzo was RHH and/or looked a little more ready, he'd be at 1B.In any case, I wouldn't make a 40 man move for either of those guys. Slater is a worse Grichuk and redundant with him here when neither can backup CF behind Peters. Espinal could back up 3B I guess, but I'll take Acuna's speed and ability to backup SS over that as the last guy on the roster.
