Do we need to skip Suarez and give him a break? He threw 101 pitches, only 60 for strikes. What are his pitching vitals lately?

Where is Houck in his rehab? I thought he was throwing regularly in Florida. Has Crochet touched a ball? How about Kutter? 2027 or 2028? Will Casas take 2 more, full, arbitration years to get healthy? You know, be ready to play as a FA?

[moonslav59]

Crochet, Houck, Crawford & Oviedo have yet to start throwing in rehab games. By the time any get ready for rehab and go through it, how ready can any be?

Count on ZERO.

(Slaten, too.)

[moonslav59]

Suarez probably needs a skipped start. (His max is 157 IP, and he's at 123.)

I heard Gray might skip one.

Gasper's back and he's fresh out of candy canes.

Too bad at Willson's expense.

He's been an auto out for quite a while. Maybe the 10 days will get him back on track.

Of course, with the Sox is it ever really 10 days?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unbelievable!

Send that Gasper guy down!  We need Story and Duran.

Sending Gasper down was as stupid a move by a  FO as you'll ever see.

Almost as stupid as trading the farm for Rutschman.

[moonslav59]

If Gasper gets demoted again, this year, I'm joining Fred on the fire Brez bandwagon.

(Okay, maybe after I settle down, I'll flip-flop.)

I hope you eat your words, but it's been awful.

The IL for Willson was greatly needed because he will. be vital in late September  and the 3 game WC

Hopefully that will help us tank to get an easier postseason schedule

Rutschman will be an upgrade over Narvaez once he hits stride 

[jad]

Me trashing Duran is his best chance of doing precisely that.

He was supposed to be an upgrade over Wong, who is outhitting him.

[FredLynn]

Just tuned in. Gaspar with another HR. He has to stay now. Not sure who goes down but he has to stay

He was traded for Narvaez plus prospects 

[moonslav59]

Gasp! (er) Duran just homered!!!

I know it’s prodigious. It’s about time you acknowledged it.

I truly hope I do eat my words. If I do, I'll call it alphabet soup.

Prodigious? Now you're just showing off.

If the Flops end up with the third WC we would play Houston then the White Sox if we win rather than the Yankmees then the Rays if we are the second WC-as things stand now.

Which is an easier route?
