No Swanson for them. Weakens their D a ton.

I think an interesting topic for conversation for the next couple of years will be whether Beni was actually worth his contract. It could be that he actually is.

Great signing by Hahn.

McCaskey would somehow find a way to screw up taking notes.

Gotta give Beni his due. He's been hitting alot better the last couple months and also is clutch. He also seems to be beloved by all the kids in the clubhouse

Sam is just 1/1. He also signed longer than most before the game here, including for Mariners fans. The guy just seems to love being a ballplayer and does everything you want.

I would prefer no rainout Tuesday thank you very much as I will be traveling from out of state to see the game.

If the Sox go even .500 the other teams have to on a run that just none of them seem capable of. People need to take a step back a little.

Makes me appreciate Antonacci. He played college ball, went straight to minors, and all he did was hit. Kinda like Boston Smith.

Thankfully we are done with the Red Sox: 0 for 6 against them. 13 over against everybody else.

She was never the same after her brother's death a couple of years ago.

Gotcha, so you’re saying he can optioned one more time and called up again one more time. Still risky to have him on the roster knowing that demoting him requires putting him on outright waivers, but it’s a little better of a situation than the one I illustrated.

It's not exactly like hoops but there's something to the idea that role players do well when they can just be role players. Nobody is asking Beni to come in and play a solid LF and take 600 PA and hit tough lefties anymore. All we need is to mash righties as a DH four times a week and rest up the remainder. And he's excelled in that role.

Just glancing at schedules, Guardians have what would be the “easiest”. None of it is easy, each team has a gauntlet. Detroit has dodgers Toronto Tampa and the Sox, twins have Atlanta NYY Texas and the Sox, and Guardians have Toronto Boston and the Sox(SF if you want to count them, I think they have been playing better) The Sox just need to keep doing what they have been doing, and each one of their competitors have to leapfrog each other while playing each other, and then the Sox

The schedule sucks TBH, certainly compared to the teams chasing us in the Central. The only real thing I see good about it is that the last two weeks are mostly at home and we have a rockies tilt. Otherwise we've been unlucky with our IL rival the Cubs one of the 5 best team in MLB, we opened against the best team in MLB, and we'll have to go face a decently hot Mets team still. Really you couldn't have pulled a worse IL tilt. Just get rid of it imo other than the Cubs. I'm over IL. With TV national and universal DH who even cares?

Rain outs have to be made up. They only have 3 off cays remaining. Using one of them creates another 21 game run without a day off. And a rain out isn't a day off. They still come to the park.

They have 3 days off between now and the end of the season, I don’t think these guys want to jam one or both of the cubs games into one of those days off It’s pretty disappointing that even in this surprise season you can’t even really enjoy it and have to provide “don’t get swept” into a thread after they just swept a team that was nipping on their heels

I also thing these guys are just tired. Full college season, draft process, all those workouts, then the travel involved in the minors. A guy like Roch has lived in LA, has a comfie crash pad, continuity for three years, now he's on the road in the low minors, not an easy transition. I'm glad they decided to get it started this year, he could have just played bridge league and shut it down until the AFL, which I think he'll play anyways.

Schweitzer can be sent down 5 times with no ramifications. On the 6th time, he has to be put through waivers.

Rain outs could allow the Sox to adjust things so they can use guys like Burke, Kay and maybe Martin if he's off the IL, giving them better chances to win. Since the games would have to be made up later. Also because of the make up game Thursday they are playing 17 games in 17 days. They could use a day off. And who said anything about the season being over? But it is a fact the Sox starting pitching is shaky at best. When you have TBD listed for not one but two games against a team that's pretty good and happens to play in the same city, that to me is noteworthy.

Seems like just a myth. He's built like a brick s%*# house regardless. I'd be much more worried about Noah, who at 22 apparently already has a chronic tendonitus issue in his knee.

Why would you want a rain out? Why does every opponent scare you that the season is over?

Maybe we can get a couple rain outs! Pitching match ups on paper favor the Cubs tremendously. Just don't get swept...win a game somehow.

Thanks for that research, particularly Lackey. It shows 2 things. 1. Pitching in minors > pitching in college, and 2. wood bats make a difference. Our boy Roch probably agrees.
