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.

In only four games, he raised his OPS from .622 to .741.

Regular ChatGPT couldn’t help me, so I tried the deep research feature. This is what it gave me. Trust at your own peril. Monday: 1-6 Tuesday: 4-9 Wednesday: 3-9 Thursday: 4-7 Friday: 6-7 Saturday: 5-9 Sunday: 5-9

Why do you hate it? You’re out if it’s hit right at someone and he fields it clean, but even if that happens, you need a hit from the next guy anyway. You can steal some runs if it’s not hit right at a guy or if the throw is slightly off.

His OPS is up to .708. I’m not saying that as a counter to the overall point you are making, but he’s not under .700 as of now.

Absolutely crazy that his OPS is up to .708. It was .622 three games ago.
