Holy s***

Damn

@EvanDrellich Sandy Leon has left knee swelling.

@TimBritton Leon banged his right knee on that slide home the other night. Said he’s day to day, not worth it to play at 70-80 percent.

Yup, that seems to be the working theory. https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2017/07/30/slow-motion-watch-how-sandy-leon-avoided-the-tag-with-his-acrobatic-game-winning-slide You can see how he reacts after he gets up.

@redsoxstats With Leon seemingly hurt the PawSox got a 3rd catcher from AA today. Swihart hasn't played in a month. Would need a 40-man spot for Butler. Romanski was promoted from AA to Pawtucket today. Coincidence?

Holt?

Leon is out due to leg injury.

@PeteAbe Now for the bad news: Red Sox have placed Dustin Pedroia on the 10-day DL (retroactive to 7/29) with left knee inflammation.

@PeteAbe Per @BovadaLV, Sale is 1/5 for the Cy Young with everybody else off the board at this point.

Guys under 6': Hammerin' Hank, Mays, Mantle, Ott, Cey, Garvey, Yaz, Yogi, Adrian Beltre, Pudge... Should height matter for 1b?

Chavis is only 5'10". Is that tall enough for 1b?

Per WEEI, Chavis will be transitioned to 1B. Hmmm, I wonder if anyone on here ever said that he couldn't play 3B?

How can you look at that and say he's consistent. He with 3 months below .700 and 3 above .900! That's not consistency, that's Mr Toad's Wild Ride.... Yes, Bogey IS INJURED. I'm sure if you it suited your argument you would have noted that. Pedroia hit .500 after coming off the DL. OMG! JBJ has high highs and low lows. It's a fact.

@darren_hartwell Fenway Park has seen the least homers in the AL this season at 89. No other ballpark is under 100.

Ockimey promoted to Portland.

ESPN: Chris Sale is dominating on the mound this season, to the tune of a 13-4 record, a 2.37 ERA and 211 strikeouts in 148 1/3 innings. On Tuesday night, the Boston Red Sox left-hander will attempt to beat a team he has not been able to dominate during his career when he takes on the Cleveland Guardians in the second game of a three-game series at Fenway Park. Sale is 82-47 with a 2.93 ERA lifetime against the other teams in the major leagues. However, he is just 5-7 with a 4.07 in 27 career appearances (16 starts) against Cleveland, a division rival when Sale was with the Chicago White Sox. Last season, Sale defeated the Guardians as part of his 9-0 start. But then on May 24, 2016, he was raked for seven hits and six earned runs in 3 1/3 innings to take his first loss of the season. MLB: Sale.. is arguably on his hottest streak of the season, twirling three scoreless starts since the All-Star break. His scoreless streak of 20 2/3 innings is currently the longest in the Majors. As for his first season in Boston, the All-Star has already etched his name into the Red Sox's record books. Sale is the second Red Sox pitcher with 14 or more double-digit strikeout games in a season. Pedro Martinez achieved the mark twice while with Boston.

Maybe less of a fluke than Big Dick Rick's 2016?

He already had his hot streak this year. Not sure he's allowed to have two.

http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/rosters/_/sort/average_height/order/true Sox are 10th tallest in the league.

Gray is short in stature. Only 5'10". We need taller players! No thank you!
