Ambushed a first pitch fastball Giolito was careless with, oh well.

I think we would be better off with Adam Engel at DH at this point.

Ozzie had 75 year old Omar Vizquel get ABs as the DH. He had better numbers than Yonder.

Non tendering Rodon while insurance pays his salary anyway would be dumb, let‘s see how his rehab goes.

Abreu has been making it easy for Ron though in the last 18 months ?‍♂️ People are saying that Abreu “haters“, I don‘t hate him,to say that is ridiculous, are ignoring stats and facts and only bring up RBI and HR. His HR numbers in this juiced ball era aren‘t great either. Solid, but not great. His hitting with RISP is also good, there is no denying that. But the sample size over the past 18 months is big enough that Jose Abreu at this point in his career is a slightly better than league average hitter, which is pretty bad for a 1B, and is a liability defensively. I wouldn‘t mind bringing him back on a 1yr deal at market value (which would be way less than he is making now) to bridge the gap to Vaughn, but extending him for 3yrs at AAVs I‘ve seen thrown around here is insanity.

People will never understand that the success rate of first round draft picks in all of baseball is not great, especially outside of the top 5. Look at the draft history of other franchises and the Sox picks start to look pretty good.

Abreu is 21st out of 26 qualifying 1B in baseball in WRC+, 21st in WAR. 24th in OBP. He is 13th in slugging. The problem is that the FA market for 1B is pretty barren this year, unless they would ask someone like Castellanos to play first. I guess the best bet is to sign him to a 1yr deal and move on from him once Vaughn is ready.

People who b**** about everything Reinsdorf/Hahn/Sox 24/7 fail to see two things. 1. They don‘t give a shit what a random poster on soxtalk has to say. Writing a letter to be interviewed for the GM job has a better chance to get read. 2. We all know that the Sox have been bad for a long time and make stupid decision. We all know that the sky is blue. Writing the sky is blue in every fucking post every fucking day would get old fast as well.

The Sox aren‘t going to make the playoffs, even if they swept this series. Neither is Texas, their pitching sucks as well.

Every post from you on soxtalk:

A guy who can play anywhere on the infield with a career .715 OPS has value, 4mil/yr is chump change. You are terrible at posting.

Because he came off a .806 OPS season and was a good super utility guy his entire career. And 4mil/yr is like nothing. is this some kind of Pavlovian reaction to anything Rick Hahn?

Jeff Keppinger was so bad with the Sox, he was completely out of baseball a couple of months into his first season despite signing a three year deal.

LEaving yonder in there should be enough to get ricky fired

Just missed it, great ab though

Reason #65654 why the quality start stat is garbage

Nobody said that though

Like a monkey‘s paw wish.

That McCann throw was so amazing because Nova is really slow to the plate, even getting Yadier Molina there would have been impressive.

You do know that a broadcast is delayed by several seconds?

James McCann is so good.

Exit velo on the ball Abreu hit: 77 mp/h ?

I am not Jerry‘s accountant, I couldn‘t care less.
