  1. Yes, I lived in Taxquena for almost 4 years. Stayed pretty much to the south for the most part. We were married in Coyocan. I miss the big city and did not want to move, but finances were becoming strained.
  2. I could not get this to open.
  3. Thanks. Nice words on Sale, too.
  4. Improvements will be made, and this was supposed to be the season we tried a number of borderline players at 1B, 2B and OF to determine who might stick and what our highest need area would be for 2022 and beyond. As of now, it looks like 2B might be covered- long term: Arroyo, Downs, Yorke and others. OF and 1B seem like our biggest need, and catcher will be after 2022. We may not spend big at SP'er, this winter, but we will need to re-sign or replace Barnes and Ottavino, add another pen piece and try to upgrade OF (beyond just Duran) and 1B (Dalbec or Chavis may be gone by '22). There should be enough cash to fill all those needs.
  5. I would not be so sure about us not signing one of the "old guys." The upside is none will get a 6+ year deal. Some won't even get 4. A strong veteran presence may help, too. Our best bet may be to hope Sale is the guy we need and Whitlock covers another slot, although all of our rotation, except ERod is under team control for 2022.
  6. I would go: Barnes Ottavino Whitlock Taylor Sawamura Valdez DHern
  7. Don't look now, but Arroyo is fast approaching the .800 OPS mark. He already 60 points ahead of Renfroe and only 30 behind Verdugo! BTW, Dalbec moved 55 points ahead of Marwin's current OPS after his dinger, tonight and Marwin's 0 for 3. What's up with all the hits allowed by our starters, recently? Tonight 11 hits in 3.1 Erod 6 in 4.2, last night. Perez 6 in 2.0 on Wed, night. Eovaldi 11 in 5.2 Tue night. Pivetta 7 in 4.2 vs Miami. Richards 8 in 5.0 in his start before tonight.
  8. Speaking of Duran, he went 0-5, tonight. Wilson went 1-4 (2B) with a BB Chavis homered, went 2 for 4 and had 3 rbi. Lopez came in for Arauz and went 2-3. Gonsalves went 5 strong (4H, 1BB, 0 ER) Ort got the save- no hits or BBs, again. In AA, Ronaldo Hernandez had 3 hits, including his 4th HR. Castellanos went deep and was 2-5.Rosario ad 2 hits an na BB
  9. I'm not sure any of us know a "ready player" when we see it. I'd be very happy if they called him up tonight-mostly because I trust Bloom & Co. to only call him up when he is truly ready, and not as a panic move. Let's leave it to Sox brass is my motto.
  10. The only other real options are Gossett or Weber or a pen game led off by Andriese or Whitlock.
  11. We knew a great Pozole place that only opened on Sundays. Two old ladies ran the place. It was packed. I love Rajas. (Poblano Pepper strips with onions and crema- a sort of creamy sour sream.) Tinga, Tacos al pastor, picadillo and so much more.
  12. I like how he fought back after a few games where he struggled. For someone with so little experience in the spotlight, that is a very good sign. With several starters showing signs of serious struggles, maybe we should get back to the plan of stretching him out. I'm not sure we can count on Houck or Seabold, and while Espinal has looked very sharp, I'm not sure bringing him up in the middle of a playoff run would do him or us a great service. Sale, Brasier and Chavis seem like our best shots. Add Duran, when he's ready. Add a decent player or two before the deadline, and that's all we can hope for.
  13. Santana provided a little and short spark after we demoted Cordero, but I think his days are numbered, here. Chavis or Wilson could get the call, unless they think Duran is ready. I see zero % chance casas gets a call before September, and even then, they may wait. You can't have 40 men in the dugout anymore.
  14. He battled a lot of injuries, especially early on in his career. Yes, the BB/9 was too high, but his K's were high and H/9 low enough to be decent. 2017-2019 1.127 WHIP 5.9 H/9 4.2 BB/9 10.5 K/9 0.8 HR/9 3.52 FIP 2.59 ERA in 153 IP. If he could get back to that, we'd have us a nice set up man.
  15. 100% Mexico City has top quality restaurants with A++ service and bargain prices. There is also a wide variety of cuisines to choose from.
  16. I'd like to see this: 1. Arroyo 2B 2. Verdugo LF 3. JD DH 4. Bogey SS 5. Devers 3B 6. Renfroe RF 7. Vaz C 8. Dalbec 1B 9. Hernandez CF
  17. Love the way Dugo went with the pitch. He's got great hitting instincts. He's young enough to expect he can even get better!
  18. That was a hell of a win!
  19. It seems that way, right?
  20. Time for Kike to shut us "Arroyo for Lead off" fans up.
  21. Don't let this get to the funky extra inning junk.
  22. Time for Whitlock to pick up Devers, here. Don't make his E hurt.
  23. I've been for Arroyo in the 1 slot for longer than anybody. I was just giving one reason why he's not there, and my comment was half tongue and cheek.
