I’ve probably been a little hard on you on this forum, to the point of being unkind, so let me say this - sincerely happy for you that you got to go see this game tonight. I bet it was a blast.

he is?

The heck happened to Martin today? Maybe just hard to get up for a AAA start after his performance in the majors this week?

Just feels like we really needed that.

Would like to get Vaughn in, but don't hate the lineup overall. Hope VV can keep us in the game and let's get ourselves a sweep.

The 7 inning headers were one of the only recent rule changes I actually liked

are we back to 9 inning doubleheader games or still 7?

The righteous indignation from the Astros and their fans is a little ridiculous. They got caught cheating, there’s evidence that they continued to cheat past the point where they were punished, and they’re offended that accusations are still being made? GMAFB

Christ. Look at this asshole.

Starting to get healthy, so it makes a little sense. Eloy, Luis, and Grandal all made major contributions in August

The fuck does this mean?

Absolutely ridiculous to put Kimbrel into this game. What the fuck.

I mean, yeah, they kinda are

Dallas' contract isn't even in the same universe as Heyward's when it comes to bad contracts

Imagine having this take.

It's 14-8 guys. Relax.

I agree with the person you quoted so I’ll chime in with my two cents. I don’t think Zavala is a good defensive catcher. A little better than Collins but still bad. And I think Collins calls a better game.

Might be time for your average Sox fan to start getting excited about Romy?

Brutal lineup. If they had won today and ran out a garbage Sunday lineup tomorrow, I’d understand. But this sucks and feels like punting the series.

This might be a dumb question but is there any chance Adolfo gets a cup of coffee with the Sox in September? He’s out of options right?

It will be interesting to see how Lopez handles a bit of adversity - a bad start, etc. will he rebound or will it crater the rest of his season?

Per Twitter, Bassitt is conscious and alert and they think his eye is OK. Got some stitches below the eye and they’re testing for fractures. Sounds like relatively good news at this point.

Hendriks said he was tipping his fastball against the Yankees and it’s been addressed. Hope that’s the case.

The Hendriks and Keuchel contracts - yikes.

The cubs are about to endure their second 9-game losing streak (andcounting) of the season. With hugely different rosters. Wild.
