Dreaded lead off walks to first two batters in the inning did not help either. They both ended up scoring. Need to pile in more runs. Giolito shaky with high pitch count.
Today, at the end of the trade deadline the rich got richer in talent, the poor got poorer, and the middle class like the Sox stayed pat. There will never be parity in baseball without a salary cap.
I think we tend to forget that JR bought the Sox for $19 million, albeit in 1981. He has a lot of equity. Could’nt he monetize some of that equity to improve the team?
I guess that Pollock is not on the trading block. He is pinch running for Sheets. Why he didn’t pinch hit instead of Leury earlier? We sure could have used a homer from Pollock.
