100%. No way Slater goes for that if Robert is calling for it.

Any chance Lee is getting called up (so that Teel and Quero can both play) and Sabol was acquired to catch in AAA?

Update: At the start of the year, I told myself the Sox need to win 5 out of every 16 games to get to 50 wins (and then they’d still have two games to spare). So I will break the season into ten different 16-game chunks. I’ll update every time we finish another 16 games. Here are the results: 4-12 5-11 5-11 7-9 4-12 7-9 Total: 32-64, on pace for 54 wins.

I don’t know much about Gamble at all, but I found it interesting he is labeled as a 2B. Seems rare for a high school infielder not to be labeled as a SS.

Maybe he can produce like that 27 year old the Brewers recently acquired.

Houser getting hammered early, but has had some luck on his side. Seems like it could be 4-0 already.

He definitely dogged it, but there is zero chance that’s an inside the parker, even if he hustled the entire time.

What do you mean by “getaway day before the all star game”?

It’s tough to sweep a team, especially on the road. Just ask most of the teams that have played the Sox this year.

Meidroth grabbed his hamstring after lunging toward first in an attempt to beat the throw.

Yep. I don’t even like him at 2B.

I’m so proud of you. I didn’t know you were capable of saying something positive.

Liam Hendriks?

And the 3-0 strike call to Quero earlier in the game was way more outside than that.

Wolkow and Braden went a combined 0-7 with 7 Ks tonight. Yikes.

Colson’s hit was a walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th. Line drive to RF on a breaking ball.

I thought pitch selection was 100% the main issue that inning. Brutal.

**consults a mid-season top 20 list from this random guy on the internet** … Agreed! Definitely not in the top 25, that’s for sure.

Any chance we can change the thread title to Trade Deadline? I don’t know why, but “Trading” Deadline is driving me crazy.

Thanks, James. Good stuff. Not sure if you can edit it still, but you took your finger off the shift key too quickly in your paragraph on the #1 overall pick.

But they got their 27th win on July 10! 🤣🤣🤣 That’s pretty remarkable, actually.

It was honestly the worst umpiring I’ve seen the entire season in terms of balls and strikes.
