    nobody has to worry about Cleveland. they are not good enough to take over the division. Sox are playing incredible at 5 or 6/9 strength and with the months schedules coming up Sox are going to bring that lead WAY up. Cleveland has a rough schedule leading into all star break. 

    Always worry about Cleveland.  Always.

    Easily.  Eloy is impressively -16 runs in about 160 games in LF.  Vaughn is on pace for about -7 over 160 games.  It's position adjusted so you get a ding for starting in LF but Eloy is a very bad LF.  Vaughn is probably about average relative to other LF.

    Ya, I was pretty against the idea of throwing him out in left just cause I didn't want him to get hurt but he's been more than passable out there.  Certainly not great at the moment but considering he's never played the position before he's done pretty well for himself.

    I am honestly surprised we brought up another pitcher if guys like Foster are barely pitching, and someone like Engel is still under playing restrictions.

    I had the same thought.  We couldn't even pinch run for Vaughn in the 10th yesterday because the only position player we had available on the bench was Yermin.

  4. Vaughn will be fine, he just needs to keep playing.  I'm not 100 percent confident with Yermin but with where we're at right now he needs to keep being run out there too.  He's certainly not as bad as he's been lately so hopefully things will average out a bit for him too.

    It's Hahn's job to think long-term in this situation. They could get a haul for Lynn. 

    I love the way Nick has been playing and this totally sucks but you're not all the sudden going to punt the season because you lose him.  This team despite losing Eloy and Luis has proven to be extremely resilient all season.  Unless they completely go into the tank here in the next month you're not trading Lynn or Rodon.

    If I'm Hahn, I'm not trading for any rentals. A smart FO would spend the next 4 weeks negotiating with Lynn/Rodon and if they can't reach an agreement with either, then move them. Let the chips fall where they may. This season is cursed and not meant to be. 

    The Sox have no depth whatsoever and it's being exposed. Rentals would be for if they were mostly healthy. 

    Oh this post isn't going to go well for you.

    I don't want to see a combination including Leury either. I don't want to brush my teeth when Im falling asleep at midnight. That doesn't mean it's not what's best.

    The important thing is our pitching is carrying us and Cleveland could conceivably sell. With their awful ownership they could be 3-4 games back and sell J-Ram. Point being, we shouldn't do anything rash. 

    They'll still somehow win games 1-0 and be a pain in the Sox ass.

    How has Rick not had an aneurysm at this point? Spend 3+ years building a roster you think can compete, and this is the guy you have running the show. 

    When's the last time anyone has heard from him?  Not that you're expecting to hear from your GM a lot during the season but I wonder if he's just locked himself in a room somewhere so he doesn't go ballistic on Tony in public.

    The absolute arrogance behind his "Lance has a locker. I have an office." Wow. Way to win over the clubhouse, dripping of condescension.

    Fuck LaRussa forever and always.

    It's insane.  TLR is the absolute worst.

    Come on. If this was really a thing, do you really think the players would be showing up TLR on social media?

    Not to mention Tony was just burying Tatis Jr. about this same type of stuff last year.  He’s not playing 4D chess here, he’s just an out of touch old man.
