I can't quote because ads are blocking the quote button @WestEddy, but I am annoyed that they waited basically an entire IL stint to "see if he heals," then play him because he's their only option after an in-game injury, then IL him anyways. It's not like they "waited a couple of days" here. And this is a pattern with this team for years. Whichever lane that puts me into in your mind, that's the lane I'm in, I guess.

Does this mean I have to start another game thread for tomorrow, tonight?

That bold part really does make this exchange asinine. That said, guys like Sosa could have filled in at SS in the meantime, no? It's just mind boggling that they keep doing this same "play short for basically the entire duration of an IL stint" thing, especially when they're calling guys up for 1 game at a time.

I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in the bylaws that if you give up homers to players like Lopez and Fletcher in the same game, you are now that team's property. Not sure which bag of drugs that was written in, but I'm pretty sure that's how it goes.

Is it that we're just noticing the moronic things that this org is doing more, or is that they're doing more of said moronic thing? The IL is 10 days. Wasn't he sitting out for over a week? IL him after a couple of days, and let his wrist figure out if it's gonna respond to treatment while on the IL. Not that any of this matters this year anyways.

“Fixed” in a skill way? or in an adoptable pet sort of way?

Any player who signs here is in it for the money, or because he can’t get a big league roster spot anywhere else (…which is basically to say, because of the money). Without any glimmer of hope for a brighter future like in 2018 or 2019, good luck.

Maybe the original (actual) Jake from State Farm. Hell - as an outsider (not in baseball at all), he’d be open to input from reputable sources, and not just JR’s “brain” “trust” (I feel like the two separate set of quotes is necessary here)

Not sure that 50% reduction would do much of anything at this point. Besides - the Sox get their attendance revenue subsidized by the state, so whether they draw 1,000 or 1,000,000, they don’t really care,

I hate that I love the Sox.

Pretty sure I saw somewhere that the A’s are playing good baseball. could be inflated because they played the Sox.

You mean, "then after that, do the other thing that Jerry doesn't know how to do"

Might as well enjoy the ride. This is actually getting fun.

Has it also been pointed out that it was an Eloy pop-up that somehow hurt the Sox, even after we traded him?

Nice to see the Sox finally getting some press that eluded them after winning a world series (checks notes) 20 years ago.

That, and it's his responsibility to call off the infielder. Gold Glover my ass.

100% on Beni there. That's veteran leadership there.

Ouch.

Other GMs have tried tanking (aka deliberately losing through intentionally BAD ML roster construction). Getz is managing to outdo all of them. Ever.

I hope this team wins a game soon so they have a legitimate shot at having four double-digit losing streaks in the same year.

Would be more fun than the game.

Has any team had three separate 10+ game losing streaks in one season in any sport?

You do understand the reference, though? Right?

These numbers need some sort of a theme at this point, no? What good food establishments are on (of just off of) 107th?

He does have a chance to be the best reliever on the team
