Got it. Chase SS Ant 2B (probably not a popular opinion but we just had Pham here yesterday, I think we can survive with his .340 OBP against lefties here. Also, wanted to break up the glut of lefties I would have had at the bottom) Vargas 3B Grichuk LF Mune 1B Pham DH (wanted to put him 5th, but trying to break up the lefties) Peters RF Doyle CF Teel (has been drawing a lot of walks lately despite not really hitting so put him here to flip lineup over) Just put up a bunch of runs early and let's just worry about defense the last half of the game

Framber or Ranger were the two I liked. And realistic targets. Framber hasn't had a phenomenal season but he would've been a major steadying force for this shaky rotation. Then you had guys like Nick Martinez, the two you mention, a couple others. There are some decent guys in this next class -- and really good ones who the Sox won't sign -- but last year to me was a much more competitive class of SP.

They really need Sandlin to pitch deep into this game. Or for the offense to explode. I’m assuming most, if not all the high leverage guys won’t be available tonight.

Forecast looks like there will be no game tomorrow

Maybe they need some more retirement ceremonies for players of that era. Someone contact Grandal! Is Moncada retired yet? /s

Interesting. I would rather have a rainout at home then on the road.

It would be nice if Boston had a shot at home field advantage for their wildcard series. But that seems really unlikely.

And the opposite. I've seen some pretty good pitchers get pounded by mediocre offenses.

Yes - DHs are a tough assignment when you're trying to stack wins.

This would have been 2011 or 2012? https://presidentlincoln.illinois.gov/Resources/d071eb72-bca0-4533-8fe1-b23b45e71d0d/Thompson_Jam_PFNL_Vol_V.pdf

KEEP IT COMING SOX!!!! I’ve really liked seeing Doyle showing signs of improvement. Would love to see him give some value here during his last few games. Lineup should be better tonight!

It is possible Jerry is full of it, as I remember it being him as the source, but it was definitely out there in the ether in the past.

They turn Sears into a Willis tonight. Sox win comfortably.

Gotcha. I don’t think it’s impossible that Bridgeport shot down a development, but its always seemed like a bit of an urban legend to me. If there were ever publicly released plans, I’d very much like to see what was proposed for the area.

This was what was in my head when I mentioned before that Bridgeport didn't seem to want this.

Go with (lefty on the mound): C Teel 1B Mune 2B Ant 3B Vargas SS Chase LF Grichuk CF Doyle (hit him 9th) RF Peters DH Pham Acuna and Braden can enter the game later for defense. I'll figure out how to line them up shortly haha

Don't like their chances tonight. Another pitiful offensive performance saved by a Murakami blast. Hopefully Murakami gets hot. Prove me wrong, losers.

They should just move it to earlier.

Tonight is an important game in this series. If you win tonight then you are set up nicely to take 3 of 4 OR even sweep. On top of that we are facing a rookie who has 16 innings under his belt. We need to hit this kid around. It was great to see Mune have a good game yesterday......let's see if he can build on yesterday.

Oh boy a day night DH during a bears home game will be all kinds of “don’t drive into the city on Sunday” lol

I'm seeing possible heavy rain sat until sunday afternoon. Will there be a game on monday? Is this good or bad?

I’ve heard of this once before, but I never found an article about it. Got a source? I’d love to read more about it.

I am shocked. Shocked I tell you.

They leave out that in the late 00s he tried to develop but was turned away. It’s one of the reasons he didn’t renew the lease unless he was going to get a sweetheart deal again. Jerry is in Real Estate. He’s developing the land around the UC. Think about that
