Jose is getting older and he's been beyond bad with the bases loaded but he's pretty far away from even a top ten problem with this team

So the guy being paid to be your biggest "run producer" and "team leader" being 3rd in MLB in singles, hitting .227 with RISP, and ranked 38th in slugging percentage isn't a top 10 problem?  We seem to only hold Menechino accountable for those issues.  Say goodbye at season's end, slot Eloy and Vaughn where they belong at DH and 1B and the rest of those top 10 problems start to resolve themselves.

I thought the same thing. But then I thought with no outs he's probably held at 3rd anyway with a ball hit that hard. But future reference you're absolutely right .

With how hard it is for this team to cash runners in from third, you gotta try to score from 2nd any chance you get.

He wasn't supposed to be the big run producer at this point. He shouldn't have had to be our biggest offensive threat. Jim said it best on the Sox Machine podcast that he should be allowed to age. He's 35 and we'd have all been thrilled with the numbers he's putting up when he signed his latest contract here. Look at the catcher hitting .200 with single A power, the third baseman hitting .200, the LF who misses half the year, etc.
