8/31 SOX @ Twins 7:40PM ET

[Tedballgame]

Twins just signed SOX DFA Austin Davis. No word yet on Robles. Diekman was signed by the White Sox.

 

Diekman was traded to the White Sox.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A sombrero for Bobby D.

 

It's golden though.

A sombrero for Bobby D.

His no contact routine is worn out.

My bad; I obviously thought he was DFA'd. Thanks for the heads-up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

His no contact routine is worn out.

 

No contact should equal no contract.

[Oscars]

Sit Devers’ ass down for the rest of the year

 

3 more hits than Devers has had in 4 games.

 

Devers only has 3 hits in his last 28ABs!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Excellent D by Dalbec. Credit where credit's due.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers only has 3 hits in his last 28ABs!!!

 

Actually, Judge had a similar slump a couple months ago. But Devers should sit out a few games.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unless the SOX are willing to spend big cash this offseason for starting pitching, they may have no choice but to make Whitlock a starter.

He should stay in the bullpen. He is more valuable there. He is a little off tonight because he hasn't pitched since Friday.

[Tedballgame]

It's golden though.

 

I think 5 strikeouts is a Golden Sombrero. He isn't there year but its possible if he gets up again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Golden Sombrero is for 4 K's.

Platinum Sombrero is for 5 K's.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Golden Sombrero is for 4 K's.

Platinum Sombrero is for 5 K's.

 

When Mike Napoli was with the SOX, he had a roomful of Golden Sombreros. I don't believe Mike ever got a platinum one though.

[Tedballgame]

Connor Wong, 2-4 with a homer and 3 RBI tonight for Worcester. Now hitting .288 for season. He is making a strong case for being in Boston next season. Casas 2-5. Casas had a great month of August after coming back from an ankle injury. Seabold 7 shut out innings.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wow, that was too close.

[vegasbob]

That's a B on the Sox pitcher's cap, not a Bullseye. There have been some real shots through the middle at pitcher's height recently. Started with Sale's finger before he fell off his bike which ended his season.

[Tedballgame]

David Hamilton who was one of the 2 prospects obtained from Brewers in Renfroe trade is only hitting .226 for Portland but he has 10 homers and 60 steals. If he can learn to hit a little better his speed may get him to the majors.

[Tedballgame]

Stupid baserunning by Twins.

[a700hitter]

The Red Sox are intent on blowing this game too! Bring in Brasier for the save. Let him get back on the horse!

[vegasbob]

Hard to comment on Dugo's approach to that play, but I accept that after he ran 40 yards he did throw the runner out. But Whitlock almost spit the bit. Is he really a full 2 inning guy. I know, who else is there ? We'll find out in the 9th

Sounds like Duran's doppelganger. Does he have a bad attitude also ?

[FredLynn]

6-5

We will lose this game too

Take that to the bank

They are not making the playoffs so doesn't matter anymore

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora really sucks as a manager. Even the Twins' announcers are asking why there was no pinch runner.

It does matter. The more games they lose the better draft position we get.

A WP or PB would have to go to the 3rd row for JD to score Edited September 1, 2022 by vegasbob

It could get Cora closer to Joe Kerrigan territory.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Seriously, what manager, other than Cora, in MLB wouldn't have had a pinch runner in for the ultra slow JD?

[a700hitter]

What is the in-game betting line that the Red Sox blow this game?

[vegasbob]

Cora really sucks as a manager. Even the Twins' announcers are asking why there was no pinch runner.

 

Cora has an amazing affinity for guys with a Z in their names . Includes Kike Hernandez who is a hack. How did Alex ever allow Vaz to get traded. It wasn't his call
