  1. It was just one of his poems. “Roses are red Violets are blue I’ll send you a package. Open it immediately, you industrialist pig” Ted was no Shel Silverstein. That much we know…
  2. I think I’d prefer Campbell back over Lowe. Campbell got demoted for his .664 OPS. Does it make sense to “upgrade” to Lowe and his .665 OPS?
  3. Boston can squeeze him on the roster by DFAing Ali Sánchez, who is a good bet to clear waivers and no real loss if he doesn’t. Lowe isnt much better vs RHP than Toro, but has shown a higher ceiling. And if nothing else, Lowe does have a Gold Glove in his past. They could also still keep Toro, just in case, if they DFA Sánchez. A bench of Romy, Refsnyder and Toro seems adequate. But if I’m Lowe, I’d prefer the Yankees. (Are they interested?). Goldschmidt is out for a bit, the ballpark is more conducive to lefty power bats, no Romy or equivalent to platoon with, and they have a better opportunity to start next season, since Casas is likely back and Goldschmidt potentially isn’t. Of course the Yankees are probably just as likely to non-tender Lowe as Boston and instead pursue better/cheaper first sackers next year…
  4. Was it really luck? Was Perez really even available? Also, stop jinxing Boston! Any losses in this series are on your head!!
  5. Detroit had a horrible stretch that allowed Cleveland to climb back into the AL Central race, where they are now just 6.5 games back. The two teams face each other 6 times in September.
  6. He does have the occasional game that reminds you just how good he was just a couple years ago…
  7. I am ok with the Sox considering that trade. As long as the conclusion is “not even at gunpoint.”
  8. I’d prefer opinions from folks who deal in reality over those who advise in fantasy…
  9. No Nate Lowe discussion? I think to get him on the roster, the Sox would need to DFA Toro or.Ali Sánchez. Lowe this year is a marginal (.732 OPS vs RHP) upgrade over Toro (.691 OPS vs RHP). (I go Sánchez here.) As Lowe is owed $2.5 mill or so for the remainder of the season, is he worth it? He has another arb year left and will probably get a modest raise on his $10.3mill salary. Of course, he could also just be non-tendered. Especially since Casas isn’t dead yet.
  10. That’s how I got my restraining order…
  11. He is good for fantasy advice, both baseball and football. But there is a reason he gives fantasy advice on the radio as opposed to running MLB franchises any more…
  12. And 2007 Lester was not yet the TOR starter history ultimately remembers him as. 18 years ago today, his ERA was 5.14. And his next start was his worst of the season…
  13. Slightly vague statement. Are you talking about Devers’ deal here?
  14. I don’t think Hicks was an option of he wanted to dump the entire contract…
  15. So just leave 1b vacant? Or play Romy full time?
  16. If you count Willson Contreras, the Cardinals are carrying FOUR catchers…
  17. Meidroth was at best the third guy on their radar in that deal…
  18. Plus Maldonado is the slowest player in MLB. Word has it after being released by the Padres over a week ago, Martin still hasn’t made it all the way out of the clubhouse yet…
  19. Less of one of only two players in MLB history to win ROY, MVP, a Silver Slugger, a Gold Glove, and an All Star selection in his first two seasons? Sign me up!
  20. Great. So she was not only a serial killer, but an obnoxious one at that. No wonder she was executed…
