I'm guessing they'll bring up MC to replace Arroyo, but I like your thinking.
-
I'm hoping Cora can forget about 2018 and start managing with brains and not hunches.
-
I have no idea, but it could be another Cora hunch that failed.

Speaking of SOX world series; from 1946-1986 the SOX lost 4 WS and every one of them went 7 games. What's the odds of that happening. Maybe it was truly a curse.
-
That is correct. Ted Williams was also hit in the arm by a pitch right before the 1946 WS. Ted underperformed in that WS, but he never used his arm injury as an excuse.
-
1975. The 'gold-dust twins' and the last year before everything changed in the business of baseball. Charlie Finley saw it coming and bailed.
-
Before that in '75 he was injured right before the PO's and wasn't able to play in any of the games. That really sucked.
-
When one sees how easy it is to get injured in sports, it just makes Cal Ripken's consecutive game streak even more unbelievable.
-
Maybe a hamstring going after a wayward throw to HP.
-
Arroyo is the magnet for injuries for the SOX.
-
That the SOX are in 1st place in late June with this starting 5 is miraculous.
-
A fastball with no movement in MLB is called batting practice.
-
The SOX have been bucking the odds all season, so far. Bad starting pitching will eventually catch up to a team. Throw in some bad defense and it's a recipe for disaster. The SOX offense has provided a smoke screen for the SOX starters, but that's not sustainable.
-
No reason to bring EO out in the 4th. He's exhausted and the game is still winnable.
-
Can anyone say "come from behind?"
-
Minor made a major mistake against Kike. Let's hope he can make some more.
-
He should have had 31 pitches.
-
No problem; it's an unearned run.
-
Mondesi, another ballplayer who would be a rocket scientist if he wasn't playing baseball.
-
Kike, lend me your comb.
-
I've been hearing lately that the Rays, who lost their #1 pitcher, are definitely interested and they do have the prospects. If we can't get him, I just hope it isn't an AL East team other than the O's.
-
Probably, but as usual the top SOX prospects are non-pitchers. Look, I'm just saying that this season could still be considered a rebuilding year with no chance of reaching the WS with the starters the SOX currently have, or the SOX can do something to improve the odds and try to make a run for it. Scherzer is still an ACE pitcher.
-
Mr Moon, If Scherzer is available for a trade, should Bloom make an offer to obtain him? There's no guarantee how Sale will perform when he comes back.

Yup.
