Oh lol. I just saw the highlight. Pretty goofy but save the s%*# talk for the fans. Try to win a baseball game against a terrible team first.

Well, he kind of does that for every strikeout...not just his first. It's pretty funny, but I can see how that might get old.

Lol they're about to get swept by one of the worst teams in baseball and they're mocking a guy celebrating his first career MLB strikeout at age 29. What an unlikeable team.

6-5…Lowe was a sneaky good add for them

There have been whispers about him for a decade

He is hitting everything with authority; he is still an ###hat.

I know this is shitty because there is no evidence but I've learned from the Steroid Era. Wilson Contreras is 34 years old. He should be declining; however lets look at his current season. Wow! What a great season. When is the last time Wilson Contreras slugged over 500? He did it once his age 27 season in 2019! That makes sense to me. When is the last time he OPS over 900? Never has done it. Now, I hate pooping on somebody's success. However, Im a little skeptical of the drastic improvement being done at age 34.

Roch is unstoppable, destined to rule all of MLB.

Let’s go boys!!! It’s time to get this train back on the right tracks!! WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER TIME!!

The Mets had a relief pitcher jumping up and down after a strike out last night in Cleveland. The Guardian players were mimicking him in the dugout, funny stuff.

Bingo. I’m all for it.

Braves would have got him IMO

I am all for getting the team fired up but that wasn't the way to do it. I am a big fan of Sam and his grinder ways but that was a bad look and I hope it doesn't taint his reputation.

Mets up 5-2 currently against Cleveland

Sweet! I’m glad to seemingly be wrong about this one. The Mets sweeping Cleveland was no way near my radar! 😆

I don't think the Sox would have outbid teams based on their deadline this time around. It was still very cash conscious, and they definitely weren't willing to wade into the deep end of the talent pool.

And would probalby still be starting him.

(Full disclosure: I'm related to Sam.) Is it possible that Sam's behavior last evening (whether you agree with it or not) was an attempt to stir things up and get the guys fired up? I do get the sense that they're feeling intimidated by the Red Sox, and very tentative.

I've honestly had more fun watching the Mets play the past 2 days, that's how depressing our games have been this series.

Would be absolutely hilarious if they pull off this game and twins and guardians lose again, and the Sox gain another game after getting smacked around by Boston

I am surprised today's game isn't an afternoon game because of the travel.

Thinking some about that Early/Mead trade. Early was the 10th rated prospect in Boston's system last season prior to his debut and has pitched quite well in the MLB so far (regression to be expected). Adams was 12th in our system, is three years older and has a 2 point higher ERA at AAA. Pretty easy to say that Early has more trade value than Adams but are in a similar tier. How much better of a player is Mead than Doyle? Mead has obviously had a very nice season at the plate but went into the season with career negative WAR and doesn't have a true position. He is one of the worst infield defenders in MLB. Doyle has ~5ish WAR, plays GG caliber defense at a much more important position but has been dreadful at the plate this season and the first half of last. Have to think Mead is probably a bit more valuable at this moment in time, but these seem like fairly similar trades to me, former top prospects who have struggled to take hold in MLB traded for controllable, mid-rotation type guys. Difference is Mead and Connelly have done something in MLB this season compared to the other two. Boston also trades from a position of pitching depth relative to our Sox who could use some rotation help, but it's hard to see Mead in Boston's longterm plans except as a Yoshida DH replacement. Doyle doesn't have to do a whole lot to be the Sox starting CF for years to come. If he hits ~.700ish OPS and normalizes his splits vR, you probably have an every day GG center fielder producing 4ish WAR. That isn't a huge ask. Adams would have to turn out to be a better pitcher than Martin to match that production. What are the odds of either of these things happening? I bet they're reasonably close in probability.

Man I sure wish we traded for a guy who gives up 5 R in 4 IP to one of the worst teams in baseball like the Guardians did.

I think Sonny Gray would have been on the White Sox by now if they had continued their form in May.

By my count, Sox are 14-12 in their last 26. 0-5 vs. Boston, 14-7 vs. everyone else. Would have been nice to have caught them in May or June.
