There's a few guys in this SOX line-up who should seriously consider a change in their professions while they're still fairly young.

Btw, does Bobby D have an unlimited amount of options? I'm guessing Bobby must know every blade of grass from traveling between Boston and Woo.
Does he drive or take the train? Curious minds want to know.

Devers hustling to first like always.
Many on this forum had the SOX finishing under .500, and that was even before all the injuries. So, really, there's no sensible reason to be upset. It is what it has been for quite a while.
Btw, over the last 3 years after 60 games:
2022--31-29
2023--30-30
2024--30-30

The Sox keep losing games at Fenway, not exactly flowing like dirty water . The injury bug which needed to be avoided has been horrendous. These lineups are really bad, below AAAA
Meanwhile, looks like Breslow got popped in the nose . Maybe the doctor was shutting down his sense of smell
Its got to the point where this is expected.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Injuries are both unpredictable and unintentional. However, it was noted by many that any success this season was reliant on minimal injuries, so the few legit MLB'ers on the roster could play the games. Since April 1, No Fools, the following have had either limited , 10 day Il's , 60 days or full seasons starting with Giolito, the moundsman . Giolito, Campbell, Mata (AAAA?), Devers ( knee/shoulder) , O'Neill, Yoshida, Story, Gruesome ( 2X),Abreu, Casas, Pivetta, Whitlock and possibly others. After all it is only a little over 1/3 into the season, long way to go. That is an atrocious record of minor and significant injuries to still be at 30-31. As in most dumpster fires, the lid will get hot enough and sag into the trash, igniting a bigger blaze.
Major compliments to Duran, Refsnyder (?), Wong, McGuire, Valdez, Rafaela and most of the pitching staff for hanging in there. However, I do think the expiration date on Crawford is glowing yellow.
The fact that Garrett Cooper is still on the 26 tells all. Not to mention Bobby D, a long time fan favorite with 9 lives, not to mention Jamie Westbrook, OBP king of the hill.
