It's probably for the best. No point in taking any chances.

And I know you're dying to watch Bello again.

I believe Romy needs more fine tuning at WOO.

Not uncommon for a long IL returned to be slow to get back to MLB speed mid-season. 

The same will be true when Anthony tries it in September.

Long IL's define the Sox.

Hopefully, Anthony will be back in time for the PO's.

Will he qualify for free tix from teams that ARE involved ?

[vegasbob]

Gambia tightens up that bullpen. Do those 3 runs count against our differential ?

What so these guys do differently in Worcester?  Gambia threw a softball toss in the upper middle zone. MLB players crush those. AAA players miss them

[vegasbob]

Is anyone even a little frustrated watching Abreu at bat , especially with RISP ?

A player worth having but more like a #6 hitter than heart of lineup

C'mon Vegas, don't you see the potential this Sox team exudes?

Oh shite, I forgot about run differential. Now I'm really depressed.

Durbin is a confirmed shutout buster, tightens up the differential

Frustrated? Hell no, I'm used to it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Scoring these runs late will give the Sox momentum entering the Angels' series. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Looks like the Sox FO found another clean-up reliever.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I notice that Gamboa wears number 88. Pastrnak must be his hero.

Sox last possession. All they need is a touchdown and a two point conversion and this baby goes into O/T.

Everybody put on your rally caps!

Here come the FLOPS!

Trade them all except the CF, fire sale

[alsoason]

At least the Yankees are outlosing us still over the last 3 days.

Can't fire Sale. He's no longer a Sox.

Contrares is the heart of the lineup. He's also the liver, the kidney and the stomach.

Romy was 2-16 in his rehab AB, which wasn’t very many AB for the amount of time he was was out, and then just stick him in the 5 hole ahead of a hot Durbin like he was going to be the Romy of 2025.🤔

because Craig's analytics said. that's why. 

his analytics are like him -no human element anywhere to be found.

Again, no Yoshida??  To give Eaton (.200) and Romy (.143) more ABs, I suppose? Both batting right, so those averages are likely lower.

Back when I played team sports, we had this weird convention that you played your best players, and if you weren't the best, you worked hard until you were.  But I guess putting your best players on the field is just way too passé for  a cutting edge team like this. 

it's Little League....everyone plays and the points don't matter.

I have a lawn service that applies some type of steroids on my grass. I can actually see the grass growing while I'm mowing my yard. I'm guessing it's similar to the stuff that Clemens was taking.

No.  What Clemens was taking was closer to what I'm growing.

So what you're growing is keeping the A-hole out of the HOF?

If JH tells Brez to sell, he should quit... LMAO
