    Assuming his knee can be stabilized and function day to day, I'm sure Pedey will be prepped to be on the active roster and available for spot duty when the rosters expand in September. I'm guessing he could play now but not as a regular, maybe PH'er or one game at a a time.

    Never this confirmed loser.

    As mentioned by others, the September schedule is difficult including series with the Braves, Astros, Guardians, and 6 games with NYY, all likely playoff teams . But prior to the final 3 games with NY at Fenway, there is a 3 game set with the Orioles and a day off. Therefore and depending on what the standings are, Cora can reset the pitching rotation to lineup the best 3 vs NY, obviously including Sale and Porcello. The question will be if Price is in that mix for a critical game vs. NY Sox also have Jays and White Sox in September, but overall it will be a tough finish line to reach leading the AL East.

    Just hope the stupid HR Derby at the A-S game doesn't mess him up
  5. vegasbob
    Yes and he loves it
  6. vegasbob
    Sale actually pitching down to the competition in the second. Over 40 pitches for 2
  7. vegasbob
    He could get 12 K's in 5 innings. Great chance for Thornburg to get some work later

    A good time for the KC series allowing Moreland and Devers a little time, if needed , to feel right again. Pearce is proving to be no disappointment at 1B
  9. vegasbob
    Dave Roberts or did he come by trade ?
  10. vegasbob
    Got to be a sick feeling to be Hammel and know that your career is slip sliding away. The guy is like a punching bag
  11. vegasbob
    With Hammel's pitch count and slop servings, better say goodbye soon before he's gone and KC's dyno-mite bullpen descends on us.
  12. vegasbob
    Sale will need to treat the first inning as a new bullpen warming session due to the 4 run first. But I bet he will take it gladly.
  13. vegasbob
    Brock F. Holt spanks the Royals. Sale has another cushion to work with, the trend is getting better.
  14. vegasbob
    Holy Moly. Sale has a run thanks to Mookie's 100th HR

    I wouldn't call TB's .500 record past the halfway mark , nor even Toronto's .465 record as "poor" , especially since they have to play 38 games vs Sox and NYY. The AL East , scusing the o's, is still a formidable division. In the AL West , 4 of the 5 teams are over .500 , but the Central is the dog show with 2nd place Twins 12 games under .500 but only 11.5 behind Cleveland , who should be arrested for grand theft of a division.

    No excuse nor reason not to pound Hammel just like they did to Sonny Boy gray in support of Sale. Should get 6 runs in 6 innings and give Sale the win and rest of the night off. Let Thornburg get his feet wet and start the process of determining if he will be part of the answer or a bigger question mark.

    Was it Henry or Lucchino's horrific self (Bobby Valentine's buddy) that drove Theo out the door. Tito was probably made the fall guy for Larry as well. Never forget that Francona and Epstein set the table for a great bunch of idiots to accomplish the WS wins that nobody since Babe F'ing Ruth was on the Sox roster.

    Also note the head to head 3 game series at Fenway between these two teams. If the hypothetical race comes down to the end that tight, you can be assured that Severino, CC , along with Sale and Porcello will have pitched in that series, and not be available for the tie game or possibly the elimination game. So now we are looking at Erod and whoever is the Sox #5 guy for those two potential games. How deep is the Yankee rotation when arms and psyches are pretty tired. Boone and Cora will not admit it but if they haven't already considered this twist , they will be lying.
  19. vegasbob
    One small matter is that your team can only win (or lose) the game you are playing, not tomorrows. Win todays and expect your next guy up to have the ability to win his. If the Sox let CC or Severino dominate their minds over their abilities , then shame on them.

    Given the odd quirks and big open spaces of Fenway's CF for 81 games a year, a superb fielding OF'er with speed and good instincts tyo the ball is a huge benefit fr this team. Betts in RF is the best of both worlds with ++ defense and a good bat. With a JDM type in LF carrying the big bat , as with TSW, Yaz, Rice, Manny over the decades, you can afford a lighter bat in CF. If you can get Fred Lynn then so much better. It would be interesting to get an honest poll of Red Sox pitchers on this topic. Would they want to keep JBJr or go for a lesser fielder who could hit .275+ ? With the FA markets possibly changing their trend , JBJr may not find a huge payday out there when the time comes. Certainly not a 7-10 year deal. He will be a mulyi-millionaire in any case, Boston extension or otherwise so don't lose too much sleep worrying about his feelings.

    I feel lucky to have seen him actually play live at Fenway in the mid 1950's to 1960, to be followed by Yaz, Rice, Manny in LF. Benintendi may get there one day but it's a tall ladder to climb when you play LF for Boston, good luck to Andrew .
  22. vegasbob
    A LH'er with decent control, if not hyperspeed, would help
  23. vegasbob
    A road sweep in the NL with no DH. Excellent series.
  24. vegasbob
    He may get skinny again from ulcers as his managerial efforts go for naught with this bunch of cupcakes.
