Interesting move with ERod; they said yesterday it’s his throw day so he could give an inning or two (if need be).
-
Okay, now how do you piece together the next couple innings out of the pen? Perez for one more (pitcher is due up next inning)?
-
The way this is going, take the nap.
-
No matter what happens the rest of today, don’t feed the trolls.
-
Exactly, he’s fine as your 4/5 guy (preferably 5). He’s been asked to fill the 3 slot for much of this year, which is above his pay grade
-
Any games played to break ties are considered part of the regular season, so he can play in those. He is not eligible for the actual WC games or anything subsequent to those.
-
Let’s see if Verdugo csn add to his perfect day by hitting a room service DP ball.
-
And now JD could be iffy for a couple days. Yeah I know, he’s in a bad spell right now, but he still is a threat.
-
With the new contract, Barnes isn’t going anywhere. But his tole will be more of a 7th inning guy.
-
Yeah, it’s baseball. Truthfully though, it shows why it’s hard as hell to sweep any team. It just is. If they have to play tomorrow, it’s because they didn’t take care of business in Baltimore.
-
Would have been a tough play since he’s a lefty, but yes, there was a decent shot (provided Vaz catches the ball). Easier play for a right hander.
-
In a word, yes.
-
In thinking back, Sale was never the same after that stumble on the mound. Have to wonder if he tweaked something. Not an excuse, just wondering.
-
There are no words to describe Verdugo’s performance today. I would very seriously consider putting Iglesias in at second, moving Kike to center, Renfroe to right and JD to left. It won’t happen because of the short bench.
-
Avila is calling a really nice game for the Nats.
-
You just can’t admit your choice would have been disaster yesterday. Cora made the right move in starting him on normal rest. Sale failed. He would have been worse yesterday.
-
Sale comes up small in a big situation again. Not the first time. However, why is Vazquez catching him. His worst outings this year have been with Vaz behind the plate.
-
If both Boston and New York win, there will be no game 163. Both teams qualify and the Sox would host the wild card game Tuesday because they won the season series with the Yanks.
-
Oh, I agree Bloom will pursue it. I was just answering Fred Lynn’s question about why this could be Bogaerts’ swan song.
-
Yep.
-
He can opt out after the 22 season, and Boras is his agent.
-
Sale not sharp at all. I shudder to think what would have happened had whoever it was gotten his wish and started him on short rest.
-
They’re pressing. Again.

I’d really prefer to see Sale getting outs on contact. Strikeouts are nice, but when you take 7 or 8 pitches to get them …
