That was a pisser. Enjoy the day off and then kick some Royal arse.

Yeah, it definitely is. Realistically I think other GMs would know he isn't for real and that big regression is coming. He probably wouldn't fetch much.

Nonetheless, I bet few Suns fans wish they could trade ownership groups with the Bulls.

I'd bet that Baldwin+Antonacci is easily better than Antonacci+Meidroth.

Gabe Davis with a rough outing for Birmingham. It is possible, the Sox were too aggressive with the core of 5hat W-S team.

Ceiling is crashing down on this trade/"opportunity"...

Yep. I love that they will be a little more concerned the next time Smith takes the mound against us (and the Sox a little more confident).

No, I kind of like that being in the back of their closer's head. The Sox are like Freddie Krueger.

I think I saw where KC lost one of their power hitters a few days ago to the IL.

My guy Mason Adams was solid in AAA rehab start #3. 5 innings 0 runs on 66 pitches. 2 H, 2 BB, 5 K. 40% whiff rate. Looked like he could have gone deeper. 2nd straight 5IP/0R outing.

Adams five scoreless at AAA. 5k 2w. Hopefully keeps it up

Best bargain signing in ages for Sox on the position player side.

Grichuk is also a beast.

I almost forgot about Colson bobbling a ball that should have been a double play. What was that like 3 hours ago?

Unfortunately doesn't have Acuna's burst out of the box...ground balls pulled to the RH side are not his friend. He has the outfield range for RF once he gets going though.

Given the larger context, I'm annoyed at the loss but not too bothered. Hard to pull off back to back to back clutch wins. Should've had more runs on the board in regulation but BABIP gave them no breaks (xBA finished at .209 vs. .397...) and they didn't make enough of their own. Still took the series and put some fear into the Guards' all star closer for the remaining 10 in the season, fine. CLE could have DeLauter back for next week, so it would be nice if today was the start of Vargas heating up again and/or Braden making an adjustment. Would also looooove a timeline update for Mune. We play KC next while Cleveland plays a tougher team in Seattle. KC will be down Garcia. Witt Jr is not on the IL, but hasn't played in almost a week.

That pitch down and away to Watson had too much of the zone for a slappy hitter...has the velo but not much movement. Curve is much better strikeout pitch...or fb above the letters and certainly not down to a lhb.

I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for seeing Roch post a .700 OPS in Kannapolis in August.

Yeah he hasn't really learned how to pitch yet. If he doesn't have his best stuff, he tends to be pretty hittable.

No shot

That's a funny way to spell Vahn

Taylor hasn't exactly looked untouchable either. Runs have scored against him in what...three or four consecutive games now?

Taylor has closer stuff. He makes too many mistakes.
