The ump has already helped the Sox twice.

My prediction: Romo gets at least one hit today. Maybe even an extra base hit!

Looks like you’ll need a pinch hit homer from Colson. Although, if you nail 3 out of 4, I’m counting that as a successful prediction.

True, but I’d say what you would be hoping for is much more risky than my assumptions. You’d be hoping he increased his trade value by having one of our regulars get injured for a long period of time AND having him produce during that period time in a way that would increase his trade value. At the time of the trade, I wasn’t close to being convinced the second part of that would happen. And even if I was more sold on him like you are, to need an injury to happen to get to that point is too risky for me.

But if we waited a year, he’d be hitting in the minors during that time. There was nowhere for him to play on the big league club. The only way his stock goes up is with production in the majors, and he wasn’t going to get that with us.

Nah, he STINKS! @Look at Ray Ray Run (I’m not usually one to call out like this, but I know you can take it, and it’s all in good fun)

In my best NBA Jam voice: He’s heating up!

Eisert gave up all 3 in the 8th. And they might score more.

As frustrating as it is, I think teams only score a run about 65% of the time in that situation. It’s not a slam dunk.

We won 10 of his first 11 games started. And now we’ve lost 6 of his last 8. I enjoyed those first 11 a lot more.

Sorry, everyone. I tried my hardest to make it 5 straight. Someone needs to get us back on track tomorrow.

Lineup added to the original post.

When a team is good, it’s because of the players. When a team is bad, the manager sucks. It reminds me of football. When a play works, great execution by the players. When a play gets stuffed, horrible play call.

So pumped to see how Thorpe does. I’m higher on him than most.

Sox only have one team. Some other teams split into two teams, which will water down the talent level of each of the two teams. Since the Sox only have one team, it’s not watered down at all, which is why you expect their record to be much better.

Great job coming out of the break with a win. Need to get Davis Martin back on track now. Let’s take the series before we even reach Sunday.

True, but I’m also basing it on his reaction. He looked completely fine after the initial scare.

No. He has a padded flap right there on his hand where it hit him. He’s fine.

And 3 RBI.

Is college baseball closer to low A or high A?

First game of that regular season: 1-0 First game after the all-star break: 1-0 World Series game 4 clincher: 1-0

What a great thread. Props to anyone who wants to chime in and call themselves out here.

The article wasn’t about “keeping the door open”. It was about the discussion that took place to determine who to select. It’s not a big deal. I just thought it was amusing. Like I said before, I’m not trying to knock the Sox in any way. I thought it was a very cool article.

Yeah, I think “theater” is a great way to put it. I feel like these conversions actually did happen over the past week, but perhaps they recreated them for the ESPN access. Not trying to knock the Sox for it, but it’s kind of funny. Either way, I enjoyed the article because the thoughts/opinions expressed by our staff were still real.

Financials have nothing to do with what I’m trying to say. Roch said the Sox told him he would be their pick on Thursday. The first paragraph of this article says the Sox weren’t fully decided as of Friday afternoon. Something doesn’t add up.
