Well at least my Irish made the NCAA Lacrosse finals again, do the afternoon wasn’t a total loss.
-
Gave its life so that the Sox would have a chance.
-
No Narvaez here? He’s at least a threat to hit an extra base hit.
-
Shoot, Masa couldn’t hit it hard enough to turn 2, otherwise I’d have been correct.
-
1/3 there.
-
Odds that Contreras gets stuck at 2nd? 98.635 percent.
-
Luckily, Breslow doesn’t control the past, because he sure as hell controls the present. Hopefully he won’t control the future.
-
Doc Brown’s device didn’t work in 1955 and it doesn’t work now.
-
Thought you were passing “on watching the guys today.” But you are correct in that observation; his swings look terrible and his body language says hes not exactly confident up there.
-
Got it. I’m slow but I’m not quick.
-
Oh look. Fred showed up. What a surprise.
-
Huh?
-
It happens to every pitcher. Twins are the same team that put up 11 runs in 2 innings on Crochet earlier this year. For whatever reason, the Twins have pounded Sox pitching this year.
-
I’ll disagree after the first homer. He had allowed the lead off single on 4 pitches and then struck out the next batter on 3 pitches. The 10 pitch AB that ended with the Buxton homer took a ton out of him. Still, if Contreras doesn’t let it clank off his glove, I think Mayer makes the catch and the game may have been different. I will say that Slaten should have been lifted after the 4 pitch walk to Bell which followed the Buxton homer.
-
First runs Slaten’s allowed all year.
-
So who would you have used? Seriously, who? And “anyone else” is not an answer.
-
Twin’s have been a PITA against the Sox this year.
-
20-20 hindsight. In other words, worthless analysis.
-
Not that it really matters, but Whitlock got the win. Usually in those situations, the scorer will give it to the first reliever in when the starter is lifted early.
-
Gibson had no excuses for losing 9 times. He went to the plate; he could have done something about lack of run support. (tongue firmly in cheek in this reply).
-
They only moved it up 30 minutes. Its 6:10 CDT; that’s 7:10 Eastern

Early Trade deadline deals the selling Sox should make

Odds of this not happening? -
Salary relief? Nobody’s going to take him with the way his contract is structured. He’s makes $6M this year, $8.5M in 2027, $16M in 2028 and $19M in 2029. There’s also a $21M club option in 2030 with a $1M buyout. The Sox would have to pay 90% of that money for someone to take him. There’s no salary relief.
-
The thing with the pitch com took the cake today. Bello must have the attention span of a gnat. If it didn’t involve possibly hurting another pitcher due to lack of warmups, a trip to the mound with a very unceremonious exit would have been in order.
-
Gray will likely be traded; decent pitcher and with St. Louis paying a big chunk of the contract, very attractive. Chapman will be moved. Contending teams will pay for another stud reliever. It also wouldn’t shock me to see Whitlock traded as well. Of course, our intrepid PBO will screw this up and get some never weres in these deals,
