I'll go out on a limb and say he returns on 9/20 for the Twins series and gets in 8 of the final 9 games. Starts the season with 8 games and finishes the season with 8 more. Is that kismet?
Sox should still be in it at that point, so it'll probably be all hands on deck. His k% will go back above 35% and he sneaks in one HR.
Gasper hits pretty well and has mediocre utility. Heineman may be ARB 1, but he's a 33 year old journeyman catcher. Neither guy would be a big loss if they left the organization.
Breslow brought in loads of catchers last offseason. I bet he does something similar this year. Being a former pitcher, I think he values that position higher than we have in the past.
When the game is less than half the screen, what's the point? It's not surprising considering Werner thinks this is just a tv show. At least we are still stuck with Sox Appeal during the games.
He has been with the team all season and typically sits by Cora. I think it would be a nice morale booster for the Sox considering how much time he spent in the offseason working with the other guys. He took a long time to rehab last year so it's really hard to say if he'll make it back in time. Maybe the last week or two? Maybe?
I liked how Brock titled the past few Game Threads and it seemed to help with the MOJO.
Houck went 6IP, 1ER, 4H, 3BB, 1K two starts ago vs HOU.
The last time Kikuchi (LHP) faced the Sox, he was still with TOR. On 6/17: 4IP, 5ER, 7H, 0BB, 7K, 4HR.
