Sad how his career turned out. I think this event is more of an apology for the dark years of TLR and Grifol.

I'm not sure of the exact figures, but there's been a slew of articles about baseball ratings overtaking the NBA recently, or at least closing the gap. A stoppage would likely wash most of that away for years.

We should just turn Burke into the next Ohtani and have him catch when he's not on the mound. Opens up a roster spot.

So what was the point of this thread?

I don't think so. I also don't think there will be a work stoppage

I found it very Grifol-esque of Will to leave Hudson in against Elly last night when Elly has been killing LHP this year and clearly Hudson is cooked. Rough game for Will last night.

I guess they look at it as just needing to field a position. Adding outside catchers unless they are real veterans is risky handling pitchers.

Why does it feel like every time in my life the Sox are ready to be awesome there is a lockout of some kind, i.e. 1994, 2020, 2027? Baseball has overtaken the NBA in popularity during this supposed crisis, are the owners really willing to piss that away? I sure hope not.

.801 OPS against lefties this year (SSS) but he's always hit lefties.

A way out? https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-parity-salary-cap-revenue-sharing-cba-negotiations/

From Sox Machine: *Hudson has an 8.31 ERA in the second half, as he's now given up 12 hits over 8⅔ innings.

Bring up Roch. Make Ant catcher #2. DFA Romo.

My son moved into his dorm room at St. Norbert College yesterday. He is rooming with a RB on the team. Already practiced on the field this morning and then hit the athletic center for weight training. StreamableWatch St. Norbert Dorm | StreamableWatch "St. Norbert Dorm" on Streamable.

Wow! Mark Walter, who also owns the Dodgers, just bought the Lakers a year ago (for $10B). The team is being sold to Jared Kushner's brother and former Disney CEO Bob Iger.

Agreed. You have to stick with Quero now. He’s the lefty and appears to be getting out of his season-long slump. I wouldn’t mind adding Rogers as the right-handed side of the catching platoon and the veteran. I’m not sure if it was ever determined if Romo has options left but they need to send him down regardless. I would not be surprised if Rogers is with the Sox soon.

I'd like one veteran to pair with one of the younger guys at least.

No. He's still rocking a 30% strike out rate in AA. He's only had 155 at bats in AA. People cant stand Colson's K rate right now and the idea here is that Bonemer is ready to contribute at the major league level. Oh and there's still a question of where he will play defensively.

I assumed Noah was sent down cuz we needed immediate arms. I'll vote him - nothing that i think it should be him.

I think the veteran Urquidy will be up next.

At least no promote Cholowsky threads yet!!!...and Lackey just 6/30 at a lower level, but wowing with defense so far at any rate, no easy solutions to be found for the current Sox offensive malaise AB AVG HR RBI SB OPS 22 .227 1 7 3 .801
