AV, Sheets, Robert, Pollock and Mendick?

Yeah. Frankly I’d be shocked if AV played. I’m not quite there yet, but honestly a few more losses might actually make the Sox do something with TLR. It’s early enough that Sox can rebound from it… Like I said, not quite there. But can Sox really sit on their hands if they lose 3-4 more games on a row looking like a team of minor leaguers with a manager trying to throw the season?

There it is. TLR gonna go with the first one tho.

Did Tony hack into your account to write that lineup? Blink if you’re in trouble CWS.

Charlotte

Leury has a role on this team. But with dipshit McGee running the show, the only answer to using him properly may be removing him from the roster. Never gonna happen tho after paying him $15M.

At this point, I’m very concerned for a multitude of reasons. This team is a disaster right now. This division still sucks, which should keep the Sox in the hunt. I expect they’ll play better ball eventually, but hopefully it’s not too late. I don’t see this flip being switched imminently.

Mid season? No chance. If this organization had any balls they’d see what everyone else here sees and fire his ass tonight. Tony is driving this ship straight into the iceberg.

Grandal has been not been good yet this year, but he’s a professional hitter and McGuire is a defensive catcher. It makes no sense. It’s like Tony wants to lose. They should fire his ass tonight.

Just got home from the game. Not sure how you let McGuire bat there.

I guess that’s kinda what we got to work with right now. Still no idea why Leury is anywhere but 8 or 9. TLR gonna be right one these days!

Would seem to indicate there is hope it’s truly a day to day issue. Fingers crossed!

They could hire one of the Cell Beer Vendors and I'd take that right now.

My blood pressure goes through the roof just thinking of this.

Very rainy and cold here in MPLS today. Radar looks like we should have baseball tonight, but it won't be comfy. Torn on my attendance due to weather and that shit show in Cleveland. Usually go to all 9-10 Sox games in MPLS each year.....so I'll probably be there, who am I kidding.

Problem is the other four all staying healthy. And Kopech is going to need major workload management come July/August. So really, Cueto isn't enough to get them throguh this season even if the unlikely event Gio, Lynn and Cease don't hit the IL again (or in Cease's case, for the first time).

Lol, winning series in baseball is extremely relevant.

The real problem - that is only made worse by no Moncada, Yaz looking rough so far this year, and Sheets looking like the AAAA player he probably is - is this team is still WAYYYYYYYY too right handed. It wasn't exactly hard to see. Hahn said adding a good lefty stick was a priority this offseason. Still baffling there wasn't more effort to solve this blatant lineup issue this offseason.

Everyone else sees the same thing. Eloy's value is the in shitter. You can't trade him now.

No you won’t

To be fair, a lot of these issues wouldn’t be present if the team was healthy. But hard to expect this my group of guys to stay healthy. Frankly can say that about any team, but still holds true. TLR is just so dislikable. And then you add on that he manages like he’s just making shit up as he goes with no rhyme or reason and the consensus is pretty strong against his moves….it’s just so frustrating.

He’s gonna be fine He’s gonna be fine He’s gonna be fine please be fine.

I could see that. Hope not, but wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Respectfully disagree. He’s certainly part of the solution. The other part is the teams best players to pull their heads out of their asses. Conforto isn’t happening, but not signing him a month ago was fucking stupid.

Prob not good. We need Luis to be out there. But he’s also been hot garbage for the last 1.5 weeks anyway (not saying I don’t want him or were better without him).
