    Duran has hit well in the last 4 games in which he started. Why sit him? JDM went 0 for 4 tonight. Barnes lacked effectiveness again and we made a key error in the 9th. Not winning many games that way.

    This is the old Barnes. Nibbling. Walking two to give up 3. There goes the game.

    God. Three strikeouts in the inning. jdm with his 3rd of the night and 0 for 4. Renfroe has had a good night but is strikeout prone and Vaz hasn't had it since early this year. Tough when we depend on a couple of guys to get it do

    The Sox need to refuse to lose this one, even though management has done nothing to help them. Look at the bench tonight.
  5. oldtimer
    Don't look now but Duran has gotten two hits in 3 games and 1 in another in the games he has has multiple at bats. Lets battle back Sox.
  6. oldtimer
    Doesn't look like there will be any moves before the game tonight.

    When does Verdugo get back from paternity leave? Every day counts right now.

    So, are you saying that Cora was appropriately patient with Dalbec, Gonzalez and Cordero?
  9. oldtimer
    Cora does seem to be stubborn about staying with players, even though they are not performing.
  10. oldtimer
    Cora did say they pan to activate player(s) this week which will help them a lot. He may mean Verdugo back from paternity leave, but I think he means new players. We shall soon see.

    Can you see Schwaber stretching for a ball at 1st? Here's a guy coming off a hamstring injury and now a groin pull. I can offer to sell you the Brooklyn bridge if you are that gullible.

    I would make some changes before Tuesday. What do we have to lose? DFA Santana and move Gonzalez off the 40 man. I understand Swamamura may go on the injured list and with DHern there already and Brazier making slow progress I would bring Seabold and Munoz up. We need pitching depth and a better Utility man effort.

    In a related question, we must be very close to the CBT limit as we sit. I'm personally not certain how close we are. My question is can we add a minor league player, not currently on the 40 man roster without exceeding that limit? If we DFA a player currently on the 40 man can we deduct a prorated amount of salary from our total? I am just thinking of Munoz, Casas and any minor league pitcher, although I can't name one who might help who isn't on the 40 man.

    Holding a 4 run lead going into the bottom of the 7th we had to go to the well once too often. Our BP was used up and couldn't deliver. Hitting was solid today and produced 8 runs.

    There have been no update on the injury status of players for a period of 2 to 5 days for several key players. I would like to know more: 1. When is Schwaber projected to join the team? 2. Does JDM have Covid? When will test results be known" 3. Same for Duran 4. When is Arroyo's projected to join the team? 5. When will Sale join the team? Clearly he will need at least 5 days rest after throwing 89 pitches yesterday.

    The trade deadline is in the past now and the team needs to decide on a path forward. Schwaber will be tried at first and if he can handle it, will take the majority of play there. If not, then we have Dalbec as a backup. Casas may get a brief look in Sept., but it won't be for many games.
  17. oldtimer
    You left Renfroe off your list and he has been a solid presence for us this year. One guy sits of those 10 and it could be that we rest players often enough so they all can get into the action. With this lineup, we should be as formidable as any ML club.

    The alternatives are not so hot either. Gonzalez, Dalbec?
  20. oldtimer
    The Jays do have a very potent lineup and to see the Sox pitching to hold them to 2 runs over 15 innings was encouraging. Our starters and pen did an admirable job but were used fairly hard to get the much needed job done in the second game. I hope we can bring up help next week and the Covid scares turn out to be non-positive.
  21. oldtimer
    How about Munoz with his 28 game hitting streak. He has ML BB experience.
  22. oldtimer
    Can't blame anyone for feeling frustrated with the Sox plunge down the standings. Rome is burning and who hands on the fiddle?
  23. oldtimer
    Our offense was the problem in the first game. Two hits will not be winning baseball, even with Sale pitching a gem. The Sox seem reluctant to make any moves at this point. JDM is out so they bring up a light hitting catcher. What gives?
  24. oldtimer
    two hits will not a win make.
