Just checked the internet. Rafi is 'day to day' with quad tightness. I believe Dugo had that earlier this season.

Let’s kick ass

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Schwaber's 25 HR's was 2nd best in the NL.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tropicana mausoleum just radiates 'doom and gloom.' Maybe it would be more accurate to say 'dome and gloom.'

[Nick]

It's definitely time to let it rip with Houck. There are no issues with innings limits on him, I don't think.

 

You do know that he got sent down?

[TylerD]

You do know that he got sent down?

 

I didn’t know that

 

Makes sense to do that since our f***ing rotation is so great. I swear they are trying to lose us this season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The two best players on the SOX for the last few weeks have been Devers and Kike. JD has been shite and X-man looks like someone who's playing with a bad wrist.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He will be back to pitch one of the double headers against the Jays on Aug 7th.

[Tedballgame]

Perez sucks.

[TylerD]

Lovely start.

[Nick]

He will be back to pitch one of the double headers against the Jays on Aug 7th.

 

That was my point....why not insert him sooner, give everyone except for Eovaldi extra day of rest?

[TylerD]

Let’s pray.

[d-money]

Someone needs to tell this team these games count.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's 'comeback' time already. Not new or surprising. This isn't a rotation; this is an abomination.

[Tedballgame]

Perez puts Sox in big early hole🤬

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good question, but I believe it's part of the 'coddling' process.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What a shithole of a ballpark, but those Rays' fans don't deserve anything better.

He was sent down to keep an extra position player around (which with Rafi hurt isn't the worst idea). He will throw in Worcester on 4 days rest and then, as Splinter said, he'll be recalled to pitch one of the doubleheader games next Saturday, again on 4 days rest.

[TylerD]

Cat walk lol.

[TylerD]

When you make sense of things I can’t get mad. So stop it.

[Maxbialystock]

Perez stinks. Absolutely no excuse walking a lefty bat on 5 pitches. Fleming, meanwhile, has the Sox hitters tied up in knots.

[illinoisredsox]

That was my point....why not insert him sooner, give everyone except for Eovaldi extra day of rest?

 

They've been doing that; the results of the 6 man rotation have been less than stellar the past few weeks.

[Maxbialystock]

Who cares about Houck?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He was sent down to keep an extra position player around (which with Rafi hurt isn't the worst idea). He will throw in Worcester on 4 days rest and then, as Splinter said, he'll be recalled to pitch one of the doubleheader games next Saturday, again on 4 days rest.

 

 

That's what I read, but wouldn't it make more sense to have him pitch for the SOX with 4 days rest instead of Worcester. Oh well, maybe he was the only one they could send down. I don't know.

[illinoisredsox]

Perez puts Sox in big early hole郎

 

2 runs is a big hole?

[TylerD]

May need alcohol for this game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm sure when Schwaber is ready to play, it will make the SOX starters better in the 1st couple of innings.

[iortiz]

Dalbec can’t catch a routine ball.

 

Our offense is dead cold.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

2 runs is a big hole?

 

For a large part of this season I would call it a normal hole.
