Jesus Christ, this guy says a whole lot of nothing using way too many characters.

For this season, why not? The team is in desperate need to get more offense in there. If that's by plugging Burger (or anyone else) at 3B and moving Mocada to 2B, then go do it. It's no like we're relocating Mike Schmidt here. Nothing is owed to Moncada. If the Sox feel they can find a good enough bat to plug in at 3B and move Moncada to 2B, Sox need to explore every option.

Yes, home team makes the decision before the game starts. Once it starts, it's up to the umpires.

The sox have OF reinforcements coming back later this year in Engel, Robert, and Eloy (if they plan to put that Circus Act back out there). They have nothing to plug into the middle IF right now to try to win this season.

Part of my problem with Rick Hahn is his lack of imagination. Al these guys have options, start shuttling guys in and out of AAA until something clicks. Sitting here and doing nothing on the pen is unacceptable.

You'd be saying the if it was Marshall or anyone else.

Bring back Coop!

As rested as he is and day off tomorrow, why not?

Not many guys are scoring on that, that ball got to RF fast.

BTW, Lamb looks like he also blew a tire. Looks like IL might be coming.

And he comes thru. Thank God! If Grandal would be more agressive, he'd crush.

That 2-0 hanging slider is what's irritating about Grandal. That ball should have been crushed to the river.

Great hustle #7.

Exactly how I feel about Cease. The stuff is out of this world, yet he can't avoid that meltdown inning.

Dylan Cease = Javy Vazquez

While we look around at all the issues surrounding the line up with the injuries, if we don't get MVP Abreu back then there is not point to it. He has a huge hill to climb to get back there. Not good.

You know we're in deep shit when they are looking over their shoulder to check on how Billy Hamilton is progressing from his injury.

Oh, like the missing 101 mph fastball?

You're living under a rock? How many more "Breaking: XYZ to the IL" headlines do you need to read?

It's Grandal for crying out loud, relax.

100%. As has been stated like a broken record, there is no depth that gets you by while losing Eloy and Robert. The Sox have been getting by on great starting pitching and the offense was being carried for a good part of the year by a 28 year old Rookie DH who has been terrible for almost 2 months now. a) rather than looking for ASG votes, TA, Moncada, Abreu, and Grandal need to start earning their pay. Carry this offense until hopefully Eloy gets back and perhaps Vaughn's lightbulb finally stays lit consistently b) bullpen needs to step up in a big way. No more squandering late leads c) Hahn needs to get off his ass and get aggressive. Convince JR to take on salary so he can make a trade with the limited prospect resources he has.

Agreed. The lack of HR power on this team is very disturbing. They go down 3-0 and it's game over.

Teams no longer make those types of trades that got us here.

This is the same bullshit people said in 2005. Get there first, and get there healthy. Debbie Downer

They just won a series from a real good Rays team.
