ding ding ding. which is why AAA numbers, especially with the live ball were too heavily scrutinized. he will only get better as McCann learns him more. McCann is a must sign for them at this point.

Giolito, Cole, Kopech, Cease. Cease easily becomes best #4 in baseball by 2021...?

well boys...remember this game. THIS is the turning point of the rebuild.

Cease's change is looking NICE. pitch count is going to be his biggest issue. Reminds me of Gio from 2 seasons ago in that regard.

just got into the thread...is the sky still falling?

Most excellent news. And pressure should be low since the garbage they have been throwing has set the bar LOW.

Man reading people's reactions the last hour have been incredible. Just glad he is going to be fine...for the health of a dozen or so people here...

And a reason why I wonder if they keep them down there longer. If basabe, Rutherford and others stay hot they may want to keep them together.

this team is nearly 500 with this scrap heap of a pile. Can you imagine where they would be if Hahn actually spent the money properly?

Man Alonso is such a waste of a roster spot. At least he isn't borderline and will get his needed at bats. He is a failure that soon will be gone. What a mess.

Holy Crap...that is a LOT of Sox fans!

Tonight's game was proof that Nova belongs in the NL. Hopefully the second half of the season we get a good AL version.

biiiiig out. Let's go.

that is what I am talking about! Eloy is da bess!

Giolito Jake Odorizzi Strasburg Kopech Cease lopez as a filler and potentially to start season if kopech or cease have a hiccup. if they can't get Strasburg I go for Keuchel. There is Zero percent chance of getting Cole with the Yankees in play. also Rodon moves to Bullpen to play out his contract

I'll give you the rain part...but he's fine. 92 pitches was light. Let him get his 100-105 and sit down. I see nothing wrong with it. He's 24.

The overreacting in a 10-1 game.... Relax.

I just jizzed. In. My. Pants.

I think 84-85 is possible

Think of the discount Jerry got though. get 4 TJs, get the 5th free!

if Basabe rakes this second half of the season, the progress of the minors really takes off and makes 2020 and 2021 start to really take shape roster wise. Let's hope he is healthy and ready.

With the way he is trending lately...that is great.

very much this. Unless Sox were going to sign him for 3 year deal...it didn't make sense this year. Best case scenario is he goes out and is solid (not amazing) and Sox can use him as a backup option if they can't swing the homerun on Cole. This also allows us to see Cease, get one last extended look at Covey...and hope ReyLo can put it together. 2020 is the appropriate time to compete. Twins being this good really put the damper on the false dream that they could compete this year.

Prosecky and Osmond picked this round. Dream of another high profile is gone. Interesting to see if any of these HS outfielders sign with Sox.

Nope, Fowler and Prosecky both still available.
