Or would you trade Duran for anyone?

Including me and Vegas? Maybe Fred?

Narvaez stinks.  I'm not keen putting in Slaten.  We'll see.

[vegasbob]

Slaten now needs to close the inning vs Moon's fav Bichette

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox have 78 million tied to players on the IL, which is 4th in MLB.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mass Attack!

[southpaw777]

Nice, Yoshida just upped his trade value

[moonslav59]

 

Masa for Mayor!

 

[moonslav59]

 

Yo!

Shida!

 

[vegasbob]

Amazing how you can score runs on just 2 swings of the bat

I think home runs will catch on in baseball

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox bringing in Lt. Columbo. " Ah, just one more question."

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Narvaez would make a good goaltender.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe we shouldn't pick on Weissert so much.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Seriously, were did they find this guy?

[vegasbob]

Coulmbe was just teasing us. Had full control all the way. 

He is dangerous

Is there such a thing as a small DP?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another episode of Columbo.

[moonslav59]

Even when Rafaela goes 1-5, he looks good.

In a 15-2 game, yes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by the Mono man.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Columbo getting job done with walks and hard hit balls.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hard to mentally adjust from a team you expect to lose to the same team that you now expect to win.

[Deja Doh]

13-2 over the last 15 games.  Terrific pitching by the team, and a little better hitting.

[moonslav59]

I was really worried about forcing the pen to pitch this game, but they did great. Plus, we didn't have to use Whitlock or Chapman!

Bravo!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Masa and Mono power the Sox to a win, with a lot of help from Rivera and the BP.

This game is up to the pen. They've really done an amazing job, this year, and seemingly have overperformed for several years, recently.

With so many starters already past their career highs in IP or about to soon, the pen should not be asked to do this, today. Looking at out upcoming schedule, we have two doubleheaders scheduled. Luckily, one is the first game after the ASB followed by 5 straight days with games, so we will need a 6th starter or pen game then, too. The one that really worries me is in August, when we play 19 games in 18 days with no days off.

All good points.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The main difference between the Mets and the Rockies is the difference in the team's payroll. 211 million to be exact.

[moonslav59]

CLE won. CWS won. MIN won.

SEA lost to TBR.

Pending some later games, the Sox are 0.5 GB SEA and MIN (Tied for last WC slot) and +0.5 on HOU & TOR.
