If Sox are 5 games out, they make a move. If not, I bet the don't dump any prospects especially with concerns over JD and Mookie re-signing. Is Dalbec athletic enough to play RF? He's got the arm for it.

Perfect nights at the plate are hard to come by and Rusney Castillo was able to do so, despite the losing effort. Castillo's struggles at the major league level have been well-documented, but the Cuban hit .314 and .319 in 2017 and 2018, respectively and has performed well given his situation. His numbers are down overall his season, but he is still slashing .268/.316/.376. That OPS isn't getting him a call up.

Binnington played out of his mind. He basically won that game single handedly and deserved it.

Dalbec is going to start mashing in AA really soon. His April was rough, but he's had 12 Hr's since and doesn't have a platoon split. Maybe April in Maine isn't a great place to play?

They should hire the shrink from Some Kind of Monster and make it into a reality show for NESN.

Feltman has given up 2 runs in his past 14 innings. Cut him a little slack.

Good mojo = wins

Moon, the only guy out hurt was Moreland. Stop this madness about 3 players being out. If you can't rest guys if one guy goes on the IL, nobody would ever get a rest unless they went on the IL.

Only if they want to. If they think they can win, they're gonna keep going for it.

They've played .575 since April 29th and have looked horrible. I can see them turning it around and playing at that pace.

Vic Carapazza is the homeplate ump today (the doofus who tossed Beni today). I hate that I have to learn another stupid umpire's name. That whole Angel Hernandez crew should be jettisoned to space. Don't worry, Carapazza isn't vindictive or anything. https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/russell-martin-voices-displeasure-blue-jays-ejections/ If you walked around a quiet Toronto Blue Jays clubhouse Friday evening, following a 19-inning, 6.5 hour, ultra marathon of a ballgame, and asked about home plate umpire Vic Carapazza’s work that day, you’d get a lot of similar answers. A lot of, “no comment.” A lot of, “it is what it is.” A lot of, “I mean, we all saw it.” And that’s fair enough, because the MLB is listening. And the umpires are listening, too. And going off on a particularly atrocious afternoon of balls and strikes—not to mention several unwarranted, quick-trigger ejections—can lead to issues down the road, whether in the form of in-game treatment or a white envelope that appears in your locker saying you’ve been fined by the league. Of course, Toronto has had issues with Carapazza before, notably in the second game of last season’s ALDS when neither the Blue Jays nor the Texas Rangers could make any sense of the strike zone Carapazza was calling. Ohhhh... Should be another fun one!

Lynn has thrown 6 straight QS. He won't reach 7.

cliff - Fake - DD and ownership can keep any player they want clutch - Real - see David Ortiz rising FB - Fake - defies the laws of physics at the speed/spin rate the game is played now

If they did that and fought and clawed back to first place by the end of September, how healthy would they be for the playoffs?

Fake Real Fake Easy peasy.

With some Yankers and a rando Mariner for some godforsaken reason.

Betts RF, Benintendi LF, Martinez DH, Devers 3B, Bogaerts SS, Holt 2B, Vázquez C, Bradley Jr. CF, Chavis 1B Automatic win with this defensive lineup!

There's a sale on tin foil in aisle 4 this week.

Even before 2016 it wasn't ok to say some of the s*** you've been saying though. Are you trying to get banned?

This is the content I'm here for!

Nope. It's the OF defense!

Not this time. Thunder's got this.

You just never know. Maybe Pence slips rounding third?

It's not that JBJ haters are in abundance, it's that JBJ stans are just straight crazy. All sense of reality is gone.

Xander and JD are almost as "hot" over the same time period and I don't see you yammering on about them over and over.
