Flexen with the quality start.

I think he needs a nick name.

we took 2 of 3 from SL and the Nats. Both sets of wins were Fedde and Crochet.

St. Louis and Washington. Cleveland and Tampa Bay. We split with Boston and Atlanta.

If a position player takes the mound to pitch, they still keep their place in the batting order as pitcher. The sub at 1B would then bat in the DH's spot, and the DH would be forfeited for the rest of the game. The Ohtani rule allows the starting pitcher to be both DH and P. If Ohtani is removed for a reliever, he can remain as DH, or if he's pinch-hit for, he can remain as pitcher.

We were taught this in little league when you couldn't even take lead-offs. After the ball hits the catcher's mitt, start looking like you're going to run. When the catcher decides you're not going to run, and lobs it back to the pitcher, take off for second.

Deliver my condolences to Dodger fans.

He's not showing the preceding tweet that talks about Brebbia joking. Again, there's so much wrong with the Sox this year, we really don't have to make up BS to complain about.

It makes more sense for a team to acquire Crochet in the offseason. I'd guess Robert next TDL.

Fine. He has made changes that have made him more effective. From SoxMachine: https://soxmachine.com/2024/06/pregame-notes-how-to-tell-if-your-pitcher-is-tired/

Everybody knew he, Eloy and Robert would be injured.

You jinxed him. Crochet thrives off the online bickering.

I believe that takes 7 days to find out. We're 3 days in.

I think the dreamers are basing their dream-casting on a set of things that won't happen. They're going to move Crochet, Robert, and Fedde.

That's funny when the people who opine that the Sox won't be competitive until well after 2030 are treated as "serious".

It's one thing to say that the team is bad. It's quite another to chase down any bit of convo that isn't negative, and chastise the commenter because they're "delusional" or whatnot. If somebody interrupted you every sentence to remind you that you were going to die one day, so nothing you say or do matters, you would embrace that and thank them for the reminder every time, right? LOL.

And now the Yankees are down a first baseman.

Some of the people that you're saying will never be traded, or that you seriously doubt will be traded are names that are showing up in reporting on teams' interest in Sox players. I'm not sure why your negativity stretches to denying that anybody on this team will be traded. A team trading for Brebbia will be on the hook for $1.3 million the rest of 2024, then either $1.5 buyout, or $6m for 2025. None of those are crazy money that teams would shy away from. Again, he's had 5 bad outings in 30. That's why his ERA looks bad. He's been consistent since the end of May.

If somebody's on the cusp on Wild Card contention, has nothing in 2 rotation spots, and if the top of the market's too dear for them, they can slot down and just pick up an available innings eater.
