And with Henderson, Rodriguez and Westburg likely arriving next year, it’ll be even more fun to watch.

I think Gunnar's going to be the best of the bunch

True. I was hoping to see Rodriguez this year, but that injury he sustained must be something pretty big.

In the second half, I’m hoping for Rutschman’s bat to heat up, O’s management to extend Mancini /Santander, and for the O’s to finish .500.

That last one in and of itself should qualify Hyde for manager of the year. That’d be a 30 win improvement from last year.

I will be wearing a brown paper bag like Saints fans of old until the Sox do better than that meltdown.

You might want a burlap bag, it will last longer.

I think it’s more precautionary than anything. He’s supposed to be back by September from what I remember. I wouldn’t expect to see him on the main roster this year but wouldn’t be shocked to see him in the Arizona Fall League to work some of the rust off.
Agree about Adley. Hoping the more at bats he gets, the more he become comfortable with major league pitching.
Hyde absolutely should be in the running for that award with what he’s done with this roster.

The new Blue Jay manager John Schneider is just a force of nature. Outscoring opponents 64-19 so far. What a beast!

this is just one of many moves the Sox should make, but I would trade/waive Plawecki and start getting Ronaldo Hernandez some at bats. See if he's a solution behind the plate once Vaz is gone.

Fire cora/bloom and start the fire sale

Papelbon seems like he wants to be the next Phil Nevin.

King done for the year

Need Loasiaga to get back to what he was last year

Pap is talking like he wants a job in Boston.
And a brawl sounds like a good idea now, except they will screw that up to.

They'd probably swing at the opponent, miss and knock themselves out.

Or injure teammates instead

All of a sudden the pen is scaring me. King/Holmes was the best end of the game duo in the game. We need Johnny Lasagna to step up

I’m sweating more than Chapman now……

Especially when he's in the game

He just needs to lie on a couch and talk to someone…..it’s all in his head….maybe Dr Melfi
