AJ really swinging it. Beautiful thing

If only he’s actually play RF. He hasn’t played RF in awhile, nor does it appear that is in the plans.

Good thing we didn’t trade him for Mitch Keller and his 5.1 era and 1.5 whip!!

While if we were fully healthy I’d agree, who else you gonna bat there? McGuire and Mendick?

YoYo!!

Hopefully the Sox.

For some reason, I’m kind of numb to this one even with the ominous prognosis that generally comes with forearm strains. Perhaps apathy. Losing Liam long term would likely be the kill shot.

He has gone 7 2x this season.

Sounds like TA could be back by Friday.

Sounds like he should be in there tomorrow.

Eloy's rehab was supposed to restart today, yet he's not in the lineup. Jeff Cohen did tweet a video of him doing BP earlier today.

Yep. 7-8 out of Dylan would be swell.

Yeah, pretty sure TLR has said VV is starting.

I don't hate the idea. Martin can't be worse than the last handful of guys we're throwing out there right now anyway. They may want to keep him stretched out for eventual Kopech insurance down the road, though.

TBF, the Sox stretched the lead in the bottom on the 8th. Still shouldn't have used Hendriks tho.

That would be sensible time to use the worst reliever in your pen, instead of high leverage 1-2 run lead spots that TLR loves to deploy Sousa. At least he's Charlotte's problem for now.

At least he didn't hit the IL today. Did someone report this or are you just speculating?

Pollock LF, Vaughn DH, Robert CF, Abreu 1B, Moncada 3B, Garcia 2B, Engel RF, McGuire C, Mendick SS

Yes, cause Hendricks pitches for the Cubs. But, yeah. Again, still doesn't make the decision making any less idiotic.

Hopefully just one of those deals where he wouldn't be ready until the weekend so they're giving him extra time and getting a fresh arm up. Unfortunately, he's now out until the the 26th best case scenerio. Just praying this isn't a long term issue.

Yeah, the comment was tongue in cheek. He didn't get hurt cuz he pitched Fri. Doesn't make the bullpen manage decisions on Fri/Sat any better, tho.

There is a 0% chance he wouldn't be a significant improvement. Just throw an interim tag on him, if he isn't great, keep him on MLB staff in 2023 as a manager in training and do an actual hiring process for a competent manager from OUTSIDE the org.

You do realize that Sousa was also warming up, right? Instead he went with Hendriks with 5 run lead to save Sousa for a high leverage spot on Saturday, which he failed, and the Sox lost.

Jirschele would be my first choice. But It'd probably be McEwing.

well he did get hurt needlessly pitching in the 9th on Friday with a 5 run lead.
