I knew this day would come, but really does suck that we can no longer (accurately) say he never appeared about A+. ?

Neither of Tim's errors yesterday were really all that egregious and neither directly led to runs. Its troubling that TA continues to make errors, but they didn't lose the game because of TA. Moncada's error was much more costly. And the pen's inability to get the 3rd out in the 9th was really the issue, much exacerbated by Moncada's error.

Right. I live and die by this team as much as the next guy, but sometimes you need to take a step back. Its been a rough 28 games, truthfully. But things can't get a whole lot worse in terms of offensive and injuries and we're still afloat, even with the Twins playing well above their means. Sox are in fine shape. Plenty to be concerned about, to be sure. But considering all circumstances, just fine.

Lol, yes. 6 innings pitched and 0 ER is 100% doing your job. Funny comment, especially coming from you, since you don't think he should throw over 110-120 innings.

This is extremely unlikely.

Makes more sense as to why he didn't eat it on Sunday when he didn't play.

Gonna be tough to do that unless the Sox lose their obsession with overplaying McGuire. I am also not convinced Vaughn will be a defensive upgrade on Abreu at 1B.

Last night was painful, but Sox are still 6-1 in their last 7. We all take that in a heartbeat before the first Cubs game. Let's get the next 2 and get that awful taste out of our mouth. Also, go Astros.

Oh for sure. But the comment from Balta that the reason he's not in the bigs is they're trying to avoid paying him is silly. He's been awful. I think Cueto opts out. He's got 1 start left until 5/15 unless he's willing to pitch on the opt out date. As bas as Keuchel has been, Cueto is a good bet to be worse.

Cespedes is hardly a prospect at this point.

I don't think it has anything to do with paying him. He's been terrible at AAA. There is no indication whatsoever he'd be an improvement over the current 5. If he was dicing up AAA hitters, he'd be here already.

Lol, I thought Moncada looked ripped AF personally.

Yep. Not defending anything. Never should have gotten to that point. Just pointing out Engel wins in the 9th more often than not with that shot down the line. Just props to jram really, dudes a stud. Awful finish to the game. This one hurts for sure.

TBF, that shot down the line in the 9th wins the game more often than not. Great play by Jram and awesome pick by the hothead.

Ouch. This one hurts.

It’s really just one or two idiots, TBF.

I still have a hard time believing that McGuire catching this much gives them the best chance to win. But at this point, I am no longer convinced this is just an early season thing. Looks like we're gonna get 350+ PA of .150 McGuire. Dude has an OPS+ of 7!!

That would clear up quite a few things, frankly.

"Burger is better than Moncada or Harrison and that's a fact. They need to get him in the lineup everyday" "All you have to do is watch the games to know I'm right. Moncada was not good last season and he was even worse in ST. A .260 avg with 14 HRs for Moncada last season. Burger gets to that before the All-Star break if playing everyday." Yet I am the illiterate one?

Play the OF where? The Sox don't need Mendick in the OF unless we're talking about an in-game emergency.

You did. Scroll up.

I'd give Cano an MILB deal and stick him in Charlotte for a couple weeks to see if he can still play passable 2B. It would cost the pro-rated minimum, so less than $500k if they called him up. Not a whole lot to lose. But the problem is he can't play 2B any longer. Hard to think he'd be a better option than Yolbert at this point.

Lol, ahhhh yes - the Jake Burger is clearly superior to Yoan Moncada conversation. Good times.

Its 5 times, but don't believe April counted with expanded rosters. So Mendick should still be at 0. I think they just want Jake to play everyday.

Makes sense. Burger really has no where to play with Yoan back and they're OK with Mendick sitting on the bench 5-6 days a week. Sheets will go for AV.
