Then we should have rolled the dice with a hit and run. We suck and our manager sucks even more.

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.

He swung at a ball that him in the foot!

Agree. If he plays he cannot hit higher than 8 th.

Why isn’t Pollock pinch hitting for Leury and then taking over at CF for the 9th.?

Thank you TLR for hitting Grandal 6 th and protected by Leury next, and no Pollock. Another disastrous Sunday lineup at work.

Where is Pollock? Are we saving him for the 10 th inning?

TLR ball. OF defense not a priority.

Lack of speed cost us there.

We sure could use a homer. We have our slowest team on the field now.

TLR didn’t help matters with his Sunday lineup today.

TLR is insane. Kopech is done. TLR also didn’t send the memo to not let Salvador Perez beat us.

Can TLR go to the IL with brain cramps?

Would have preferred Big Energy instead of Garcia tonight. Lineup construction tonight was bad. Our 6-9 hitters are brutal. No Pollock is also bad.

Not starting Pollock today against a lefty is inexcusable, unless he is out sick.

Moncada must be leading the league in third strikes taken.

We will need to get used to more Grandal behind the plate, with Reese being traded today.

This looks more like a Sunday lineup on a Monday.

And no Pollock.

With Cease pitching, we have a very good chance of winning the first game of a series.

With Cease we have a very high probability of winning at least one game to start with, anything can happen after that.

Salvador Perez is back. Got to keep him in the park.

Gentlemen, MLB.com just posted an article “ 9 teams that need to go all out at trade deadline” and the Sox is one of them. According to them, Sox team is constructed to win now. Need lefty help at 2 nd and the outfield. Ian Happ is ideal as he can play both 2nd and OF. Joey Gallo should be plan B. May need to part with any of the few top prospects Colson Montgomery, Oscar Colas and/or Jose Rodriguez. They also think that Sox may go the rental route so we don’t decimate the farm system. As you can see, I was not the only calling for the Sox to upgrade thru buying now.

Things are looking up for the Sox after last two wins against the A’s. Eloy starting to hit, along with TA, Abreu, Pollock, Sevy looking good. Robert hopefully back soon. Grandal and Vaughn not so good. Infield defense better. Cease untouchable, Kopech and Cueto very good. Hendriks and most of the bullpen back on a groove. So if we make the playoffs, we have good enough pitching to be competitive in a short series. We are now only 2 GBs behind, with an easier schedule than Cleveland and the Twins. So the division is for the taking. So, I say WE SHOULD BE BUYERS. Need to get a good lefty outfielder at the least to help us get over the hump. Big Energy is playing better so Idont know if we need another 2nd base now, We could use additional power in the lineup. I think the only reliever need will be a lefty. Rather invest in everyday position players, preferably lefties with power and good defense. Let’s pull the trigger. Aren’t we a major market team? Let’s act as one.

Let’s not hit him second again for the time being.
