Why not? They've probably tried a dozen different ways to get him to throw strikes consistently, and he can't. They're limited on roster size, and the total number of players they can have in their system. Maybe the Rangers wanted him now, and they're going to need roster slots with guys like McDougal and Shane Smith starting their own AAA IL rehab assignments. Plus, you have the draft in a couple weeks, and promotions and cuts to make room for some of those guys. The Sox have been grabbing guys off of waivers and throwing them out on the mound. Nikhazy, Bido, Lucas Sims, Joe Rock, Trevor Richards. There has obviously been an opportunity for a guy like Peoples to pull it together and get some major league innings. He couldn't.

Thanks. I learn a lot looking up music related to the cities we're playing against. I try to mix it up.

He clearly wasn't in their plans.

Going for the sweep.

I was rooting for Kelenic. That would have been a fun win, turning him around.

2028

He needed a replacement for Boston Smith, who is going to get called up to replace Drew Romo. [just kidding]

They should really be careful with these long batting innings. Fedde sits, and when he comes back out for the next inning, he's just .... older.

Ain't gonna call Junior Perez Junior anymore.

Grichuk OPS's .570 against RHPs this year, whereas Perez' splits are a little more neutral. And Perez is a much better fielder.

We have an entire minor league team at AAA full of guys who exist only to replace an injured player. Right now, Quero is a backup whose production is about 62% worse than league average. So what is it you think you're going to get for him? Romo was a former first rounder and was free. Joey Bart was an overall #2 pick and was free a couple of years ago. Quero isn't plug and play. He's stow and fix. Nobody has time for that in the next two months if they're angling for the playoffs, and 3-4 guys like him will be bouncing around the waiver wire over the winter and end of spring training. Last year, the Rays and Dodgers swapped backup catchers. The Rays sent a couple arms over to the Dodgers in the deal, one might be interesting.

Drunk and bored last night. Found this in my AI this morning.

There was a buzz right after the trade, where writers opined about Hicks getting back to his glory days, and in 8 seasons, he's had two stints of under 30 IP where he stayed around a baserunner an inning. Everything else has been walk city.

Ron proofing the new streak.

Yeah, the notion that a freakin' billionaire is nervous that he's going to leave enough money for his offspring is ridiculous. He just wants to pile that money as high as he can. He's addicted, as all billionaires are.

This didn't really kick in tonight. Maybe she did it wrong.

You at home, or doing a mission in Africa? Use the VPN on your anti-virus, and you could probably log in.

Maybe a little payback for that April sweep.

Baltimore and Detroit have a special place in my heart. So do Divine, John Waters and Edith Massey.

Of course they will. I just wanna go to bed in first place.

Texas up 4-3, top of the 9th in cleveland.

Baltimorans are still salty about the War of 1812. The Brits were too scared to pull that s%*# in Chicago.
