  1. Bogaerts out of the game; didn’t appear to hurt himself. Cora waived him in which tells me another Covid list member and I doubt it’s a contact tracing thing. Hope all these invincible athletes are proud of themselves.
  2. Stephen Gonsalves up to replace Sawamura and add a left to the pen with Taylor and Perez out.
  3. Been wondering how they are replacing these guys without affecting the 40 man roster; apparently, replacements for Covid list players do not have to be on the 40 man nor do they have to be removed once the Covid players come back: "Any clubs that experience a COVID-19 outbreak among their players may add to their Major League Active List temporarily, without the need for those players to be placed on waivers, outrighted, or optioned in order to be removed from the 40-man roster when players return from the COVID-19 Related Injured List." 40-man Roster | Glossary | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM The Official Site of Major League Baseball
  4. No, like I said, they could have pitched Sale tonight, done a pen game over weekend the Guardians, pushed Sale to Monday and had Eovaldi pitch twice against the Rays as well.
  5. Just saw the Delino Deshields era has ended; sent to the Reds for Cash Considerations. Wonder if Cash can give us an inning or 2 out of the pen.
  6. I saw somewhere that by pushing Sale a day, it allows him to face Tampa Bay twice (Wednesday and then next Monday). Not sure I buy the spin, but its at least a plausible explanation. OTOH, you could have had him pitch tonight, pushed his next start a day and still had the same result.
  7. Great, some more guys being added to the Covid list. Taylor was mentioned before the commercial. They aren’t going to hold off the A’s if half the team has it. Worst part is, the strength and conditioning coach was one of the first; he only works with everybody on the team.
  8. I assume he’s talking about Peacock.
  9. Lowe needs to be knocked down. He is waaay too comfortable against Sox pitching.
  10. 5 runs should be enough to win a game. The double off Robles should have been caught. Xander should have caught that liner. It’s cost 3 runs.
  11. So the defense has now cost the Sox 3 runs. Xander has to make that play.
  12. Not much choice today unfortunately.
  13. Obvious obstruction on Munoz between 2nd and 3rd. Looked like the Guardians runner ran into him on purpose but that doesn’t matter. It’s why they tried to score him in the first place. Why Munoz would be on that side if second makes no sense. Davis also could have been called at 3rd.
  14. How the f did he keep that fair?
  15. Yes it is. It’s a tough situation, especially with Renfroe gone due his father’s death and Kike out for a couple weeks.
  16. He’s also been unscored on in 8 of those.
  17. He should have been out of that inning unscored on
  18. Just saw the downside of Schwarber; that ball should have been caught.
  19. Well, his agent isn’t Scott Boras, so there’s a chance.
  20. The 3.5/5 is this year. Devers is at 10.8 for his career while Ramirez is 32.4. Ramirez is a helluva player who isn’t better known because he’s spent his entire career in Cleveland. This is his 9th year, and he’s finished 2nd in the MVP voting once and 3rd twice and a 3 time all-star (the Guardians have been pretty good the past several years so it’s not like he was the mandatory selection every time).
  21. Nah. Cora was telling the kid he had confidence in him. Major league pitchers are going to give up homers to major league hitters. Houck didn’t reward that confidence by hitting the next 2, but I had no problem leaving him in at that point.
  22. Robles and Barnes are going to get 2 of them. Maybe Davis, depending on matchups?
  23. So how does Cora stitch together the last 3 innings? Rafi!!!!
  24. On the one hand, it ends up being a not so great line score for Houck, but he wasn’t exactly sharp and was lucky the Tribe didn’t get him earlier.
