I hope it's the former, all of these series coming up are all super important. Texas is not only chasing the AL West but potentially the last Wild Card spot (where there's a universe we have to end up battling for). Same with Houston

Never in a million F-ing years! One HUGE difference this year is the clubhouse, a team-first attitude. Robert is the opposite of that. Did you guys allow yourselves to be gaslighted by all the BS the announcers were saying to be complementary Robert and nostalgic of his time with the Sox? He’d fine any excuse to get out of the lineup. Do you think it’s just random chance that Robert is gone and the team no longer sucks, and he’s with the Mets and their payroll and now they suck. Bad attitudes are contagious.

That's not what was discussed in this thread. And Hays can't play center field, Doyle was brought in specifically to platoon center field. His metrics suggest he shouldn't play anywhere in the outfield. Doyle is also much younger and has several years of control. It was either Hays or Grichuk.

I would be for LuBob as a waiver claim. Didn't hear anything about him being an issue in the clubhouse.

And you would still have another rotation option, or swingman.

September 1st - Robert Reacquired September 2nd - Robert Reinjured

Hays would replace Doyle.

After blowing a 5-0 lead yesterday...will remain skeptical of the Angels. Just so many things going CLE's way...especially Kwan and Ramirez.

Site: the Sox have a day off tomorrow lip: well did you consider they will breathe air, and might die lol what a wild ride that would be. Then we will all expect him to look like he did against us a few days ago, then he gets hurt. The circle of life is complete

1-nil angels. Guardians throwing the ball around the diamond

...I don't hate the idea. And while it would look weird carrying 3 OFs on a 5-man bench, you'd have to remember that no one in your starting infield needs a platoon partner and you have another infielder in the OF (Antonacci). Edit: and if you look at the 40-man roster, for that extra bench spot, your options would be either carrying 3 catchers, Nishida, or Perez ha

At this point you are in the 3 to 4 million dollar range, not including his option. It's not much honestly.

Because most people who fail like that at baseball never bounceback. He is the exception, not the rule.

Jed York 🤝 Robert Kraft Nuh NAH nuh NAH

He never had a great season to come back to....and last year was relatively decent. Usually goes to guys coming off major injuries or under performance...like Raleigh hitting 50+ honors again next year.

Yeah I've decided I wouldn't hate a Luis Robert claim (I can't believe I'm saying this) for when rosters expand. Just to play against lefties.

Cool with Monty getting 2 days off in a row. Come back strong in Min

You can't get Eaton value because of that lack of track record and minor league dominance. Pretty sure around a 770-780 career ops in the minors....which he's surprisingly outperforming in the bigs at the moment. There's always going to be those lingering doubts for guys who are never really top prospects coming up. Eaten was on every scout's list, otoh. Of course there were a few character concerns.

I want to say Peters is currently the MLB outfield leader in the two main defensive stats (which I don't know the names of, runs saved and some other acronym). He's really, really, really good out there. May not be flashy, but he's killing it.

What a lineup. Why Meidroth at cleanup?

Or Bonemer can play LF. I'd take 34 homers from LF. Or RF. Peters will end up with a WAR in excess of 4. Could always sell high and try to nab 3 young pitchers a la Eaton (Peters' WAR would probably be similarly inflated if he played RF). I also mention selling because the Sox did try to trade over him in July (despite Acuna's presence); and they are auditioning Bonemer specifically in CF. There's a risk of ending up like we did in 2006-2009 ERA when we had a very good vet CF and 2 touted prospects: we ended up keeping the bust. But right now, it's pretty cool being in first place with the all-star CF batting 7th.

Don't know how people can watch the Vargas progression and still rush to write guys off for having a down month or whatever Would AL Comeback Player of the Year be wild for him?

This is the "Yoan Moncada one more night in eastern Indiana" plan. Not really but you know that mofo was always advocating for it. Probably asked Manfred to schedule the Braves.

And they’re also less of a threat if they beat up on the Guardians, etc

The flight to MIN is currently scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, so that's an extra sleep at home, no rush in the morning, and wheels down before 5pm leaving plenty of time to get your stuff to the hotel and find somewhere nice for dinner.
