Every pitch was either on bottom of strike zone or just below. Beautiful inning

I really hope Dane comes out with a gem today and establishes himself for the rest of season and Stiever and farm are sent for one more starter

100% this is to get twins to either overpay or back off

Stiever can definitely go. If they can keep Kopech and Dunning and get Lynn you solve this and next season. Let's hope

I predict no smoke at all, and Sox acquire a really good starter out of no where. One none of us have been on.

Give them Reylo, Stiever and Collins for that trash performance

Damn. That 0-1 cookie was the pitch.

Rosenthal is apparently close to being traded to Padres....so royals bullpen may be short handed today and tomorrow....

Got this weird feeling that if royals stay at 7 that Sox win this...

Magic is just magic

Cease fastball is so straight. Glad to see him blowing it by people...but he needs to rely on other movement pitches as well

Yeah. I agree. I never even thought about targeting the brewer's though. That is one of those rare moves you actually do gut the farm because you basically only need a RF and the team is set otherwise. Very interesting Weekend ahead

Woodruff and Hader would be insane and make Sox immediate favorites in the AL. Kiss every prospect good bye though. Dunning and Vaughn definitely gone and Stiever, Collins and one more major piece would go. If you can somehow keep Kopech and pull that off...the next four years are insane.

I quoted it in the other thread, reds are NOT selling and possibly buying since they just won 3 in a row. So Bauer is out

Would rangers trade Lynn today since he is supposed to start tonight? Avoid the injury risk? Or do they hope he pitches well and wait til the absolute deadline? Could be an interesting day

Oswalt is exactly who I was thinking about. He totally cratered at the end of his career. Stroman should have a good 3-4 years left hopefully though.

Bauer officially out. Twins were after him... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/08/reds-planning-to-buy-at-trade-deadline.html

Yeah, partially tore his left calf and then decided to opt out rather than try to finish his rehab. He should be fine, but I think with covid contracts, he probably gets like a 2/40 or 3/55 contact with some type of option structure added

Stroman is NOT getting 4/80 coming off injury. He is either getting a prove it contract or a 2-3 year deal with options added. I like him a lot, but short starting pitchers normally fade as they get older and FB diminishes

The last few seasons the top of the ninth turns into complete disaster. This season, the ball is falling their way and they are just finding ways to redeem mistakes and win. With injuries to other clubs...this is getting real boys.

Grandal can make it up right here. One time dude.

Que the Benny hill.

Really bad at bat for Danny. Oh well, got the lead.

Moncada on one leg is still a good player

Just love how many pitches Yaz sees. So great for Abreu
