Martin rebounding would be absolutely huge. I'd feel good about this team competing for a pennant if Burke and Martin could pitch like they were earlier in the season. They were pitching like legit #1 and #2 pitchers.

I'd be surprised if his next start is for Charlotte.

Absolute classic. I miss the good old days of Chicago AM sports radio.

Good question. Also… “What about Danks?” 🤣 I mean Thorpe?

He make one more start down there?

No, and he apparently went 5 innings or so tonight, 59 pitches. Seems like as much of a little rest and "reset" as any injury. The blister was a good excuse to get it done.

Davis Martin getting right is important for this team.

My hope is Castillo can give them innings and pitch well

"Born in Winkler, Manitoba, about 90 minutes southwest of Winnipeg, at 16 years old Peters made the roughly 13-hour trip west to attend the Dawgs Baseball Academy in Okotoks, Alberta, just south of Calgary. Peters said it was about that time that he realized he might get to play professional baseball someday. “I think it started just before I moved out, I heard about this guy at Okotoks that was probably going to get drafted out of high school, his name was Clayton Keyes. And sure enough, he did. He turned it down and went to college, but that’s how I got motivated. I was like, ‘I want to do that.’ It didn’t happen in high school for me, so I had to take a little longer path, but it was a good path,” Peters said. Peters went undrafted out of high school, but his baseball story continued. He started his college career at Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Arizona, then transferred to Southern Illinois University before the Brewers selected him in the seventh round of the 2021 draft. Along the way, he returned to Okotoks to play for the program’s summer college league team in the Western Canadian League in 2019." MiLB.comT-Rat Talk: Tristan PetersEvery professional baseball player follows their own unique path, but Timber Rattlers outfielder Tristan Peters’ route to the Midwest League covered more miles than most.

Trading him off this second half poor spell would be criminal for a small market team.

More appropriate for a Braden thread but still fitting as a culture piece. Absolutely loved this production and know many others here will also: https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2026/2026-08/26/e8c02fe4-76a39b68-2d0f2345-csvm-diamondgcp-asset.m3u8

Poop

So far so good for Dart

Yea want these WC contenders to keep losing if for some reason we can't finish the division.

Also some fun hate watching, as KC beating Toronto and Astros are tied. Orioles already lost today

See his last start against the Padres? I doubt he’d be made available and I doubt the Sox would do it but maybe having an old rotation mate and friend in Taylor would help Getz be motivated to make some magic happen. I believe in Skenes long term as a bonfied ace.

If anyone is interested, Martin is pitching his rehab start right now on CHSN. He walked first hitter on 5, induced a double play, struck out final hitter. 2nd inning just started

The leader of the free world cleared his desk to rename a lake (that he has no control over). Therefore it should not be a stretch to believe that every Canadian and American has this issue as their full priority if it’s this important.

The Tampa city council has approved funding for a new Rays stadium. Next up, the Hillsborough County Commission will vote on their portion of the funding tomorrow. Tampa City Council narrowly approves funding for Rays sta...On Friday, commissioners will have their own vote.

I didn't even have to check to see who made the wildly unrelated political leap.

Damn, sox are up to 4th in position player fwar at 19.3. That's only .1 fWAR behind the Brew Crew. Down to 20th in pitching fWAR. Offense needs to keep Strokin' cause the pitching is running on fumes.

As true as that may be, I think you forget the description also fits Jerry.
