  1. He certainly seems to justify our giddiness. If Mayer or Campbell could come around, and some of these pitchers on the 60 can regain past form, we could be in great shape, next year and onwards.
  2. What a difference two days make. After those two losses to PIT, the air was sucked out of the room. That was after going 7-1 on a tough road trip.
  3. To me, in order to be a legitimate top contender, we need 2 solid SP'ers (Gio can be one of them) and a big bat (1B, DH or 2B seem like the most logical positions.) This assumes Bregman returns. Gio, Ryan & Alonso is the dream. The reality might be Gio, Keller and a Lowe return.
  4. 5 men in teh first 2 innings, a DP ended a runner in the 3rd, then 2 more in the 4th. A DP with bases loaded, ended the 5th, so one man on base was erased and didn't count. 9 LOB in the first 5 innings!
  5. I'm sending Yoshida to AAA to play FT. He'd still be an option, of Garcia fizzles out. Romy is another option who is not fixxling out, even vs RHPs.
  6. We have 9 players on the 60 Day IL with maybe Guerrero as one of two who might play in 2025 (est Sept 3rd and maybe Wink Sept 4th.) Houck- out until 2027 Crawford, Dobbins, Sandoval and Wink by opening day. Casas & Mayer by opening day. Perales by opening day, but has yet to pitch in MLB. Hendriks is a FA, after 2025, so bye-bye Liam. 10 & 15 Day ILs: Abreu (Sept 5?) Fitts (Sept 10th?) Criswell (???) Grissom (???)
  7. I'd rather have Garcia at DH vs RHPs than Yoshida, OR rotate an OF'er at DH and have Garcia in the OF vs RHPs. I thought I was clear. Also, Romy is hitting .704 v RHPs, this year. Yoshida is at an unacceptable .619 in 103 PAs. How long a leash do you think he deserves? All of September? 2 more weeks? One week? I'm done with him for 2025. I'd demote him to AAA and call Garcia back up.
  8. I haven't felt like this since Koji. Kimbrel was excellent, but too often he was a drama king. Jansen had some nice stretches, but not at this level.
  9. Neither has Murphy, Moran or I Campbell. The only other choice not on the IL was Harrison- a SP'er. I guess we could have DFA's someone to add Burdi or Sandlin, but neither has done anything to make that a real choice. (Early???)
  10. It will have to come from May or Harrison. I'm not sure Fitts will come off the IL, soon enough. I really do not blame Brez for coming to this, except the Priester trade. We started the season with 11-12 decent options for the rotation, and that did not include Tolle, Wink or Whitlock.
  11. The AL East is still very much up for grabs. NYY has two more games to play and TOR one more, so we have more days off to better plan our starting rotation. 79-59 TOR -- 76-61 NYY -2.5 77-62 BOS -2.5 As the games remaining clock keeps ticking away, TEX, KCR & CLE see their chances growing tougher and tougher. NYY & BOS +3 on SEA (the 3rd WC team) and +5.5 on TEX, +6.0 on KCR and +7.5 on CLE. Ultimately, finishing above the Yanks would be sweet, but getting a top 2 record in the AL means no 3 game series. The way it's set up, if the season ended now, it would be BOS NYY with the winner facing DET and SEA-HOU with the winner facing TOR.
  12. 14 Hits 5 BBs 1 HBP 2 Balks 1 SB 1 WP Just 6 runs.
  13. He hit the ball very hard, today. Maybe 2 line outs?
  14. Wilson, Weissert & Chapman got 7 outs: 13 pitches and 13 strikes. The pen threw 30 strikes in 36 pitches. Only 2 Ks, but they got the outs.
  15. We've missed a couple opportunities to bust this game open. I hope it's not one of those "what if..." games.
  16. Sox with some super hard hit singles, here... LOL!
  17. Bregman is a big key to our chance for a 2025 ring.
  18. I like seeing Romy cleanup vs the lefty. Good to see Refsnyder 5th, too. I can see giving Duran the day off vs a lefty. I kinda wish Garcia was here over Eaton, but no biggie. Lowe vs a lefty is an eyebrow raiser. He is MLB's worst batter vs lefties, but with Romy at 2B, there was little choice, except DHam over Lowe, so no loss there.
  19. What team has the third best record since the Devers trade? Hint: Devers used to play for them.
  20. What team has the worst record since the Devers trade? Hint: Devers plays for them.
  21. It's Kelly and Ali Sanchez. He seems as good/meh a choice as any. I guess they want the ability to PH for a catcher once or twice per game. I don't hate the idea.
