Remember when Austin Jackson was on the Sox and terrible? He gets forgotten among the Dunns, Fraziers, and LaRoches.

All good things must end. Tribe way is it would be from the Sox unfortunately.

This'll be the first series in a while where we actually see fans of the other team in the gamethread

>>78043345
And probably the last one too until the final series against Cleveland at the end of the season.

I'll not soon be forgetting ajax's brief time with us. He was just starting to figure it out too before that injury. And this was his highlight.

I don't know what his contract is like but I'm surprised the Sox didn't try moving Abroo, unless they figure he's in the team of the future

He's the fan favorite and face of franchise. He can still hit and is working very well with the youngsters and not just the cuban ones.

>but in the fifth inning, the Sox noticed something might be off. Manager Rick Renteria and trainer Herm Schneider went to the mound to check on him and asked about his shoulder and arm.

>Lopez told them both were fine, but as the pair made their way back to the dugout, first baseman Jose Abreu stepped in to make sure there wasn't anything bothering Lopez, a player Abreu knows is expected to be a big part of the rebuilding team's future.

>"First and foremost, we have to highlight he wanted to pitch through the pain," Abreu said afterward through an interpreter. "But when Ricky left, I asked him, 'Hey, are you sure you're feeling good?' Because I think with that kind of talent, you can't mess around. You have to take care of these kids, especially if you are thinking of the future. He told me his right side was sore, and then at that moment, I decided to call Ricky back to let him know."

>The Sox then pulled Lopez,

I'd be real remiss to see him go.

What happened to shields after he left KC? He's been shit consistently for a few years now.

>>78043805

I don't think so. Santana's probably not going to be resigned so Mejia is moving to either first or third.

>>78043916
>>78043921
his velo and control severely dropped most likely as a result of age
He went full weaver and should resign from the game like him too
same with holland

Alright mattyd no no hitter!

BEARS

Rbo likes blackcawks

>>78043937
Well Mejía won't play until June. I suppose playing first is feasible but they'll give him catching starts since that's his position. But expect Gomes to get moved unless he miraculously finds his hitting and had no drop off defensively (both unlikely)

I want to disagree, but there's been a handful of suspicious pitches. I'll take a look at what Bauer's getting.

I think it hit him right in the patellar tendon. As someone with tendinitis there, any bump is excruciating for about a minute, then feels fine. I can't imagine what a 105mph baseball to the knee would feel like.

We're literally spending night after night and day after day watching some of the worst baseball anyones ever seen, he'll we even set historical records like the 4 week stretch after the ASB when we only won like 2 games and all the numbers are horrid in all aspects of the game (half the lineup has sub .250 BA and half the pitchers have 5+ ERA etc) It absolutely boggles my mind how these other teams are as bad as us let alone worse.
