Worst case scenario would be that the SOX trade for a middle of the rotation starter and use Criswell for depth.
Maybe not the worst case, but it would be the least they could do.
The SOX FO better make up their mind whether to go after 2 good arms or to protect their precious prospects. They can't do both. It's a shame there's nothing on the farm in the way of starters; that, of course, would make things a little easier.
Losing the 1st game of a 3 game series doesn't seem to hamper the SOX from winning the series. Strange, but then this season, so far, has been strange, in a good way.
I don't know if Duran could have made the throw Rafaela made. Of course, moving Rafaela to CF weakens the SS position defensively, as we've just found out.
Tough question to answer. I'm surprised the chUMPIRES' union hasn't fought against the box more vigorously. It also appears that the union really doesn't care how inept their chUMPS are.
So many of these MLB chUMPS punish batters who have a good eye at the plate. And they also punish pitchers, who make perfect pitches. IOW, so many of these MLB chUMPS SUX!
