Look at Ray Ray Run

While I don't disagree with your entire premise, the Cease point is just wrong in my opinion. Cease has found command and learned to repeat his delivery. This guy is here to stay. His peripherals are actually better than his production. The guy is elite; barring a health set-back, I have no reservations there. Cueto could be smoke and mirrors although his velocity has been pretty shocking. Every rotation in baseball could have these pessimistic outlooks for guys; heck, the Brewers who were brought up in this thread have Lauer with one good month, Peralta who has been up and down and has durability concerns with innings growth, and Houser is just a guy; nothing to write home about. I think the Sox have a very good argument for best rotation in baseball; they had one last year and with Kopech sliding in for Rodon there hasn't been much of a step backwards despite Lynn being out.

I always take the dog out when foster comes in the game because I know it's ez pz

I think they're just misclassing this pitch. His tight slider at 87ish is still there. His change-slurve has changed a bit.

Idk about bias, just thought it was weird AF that an announcer was excited for a perfect game to end.

Ravech was like excited the perfect game was gone. Weird stuff.

What a stupid stat that was. Yes, he's not a reliever so his velocity and k rate should come down lol

Pollock the one guy I could understand resting with his injury history.

I think it's safe to say the league made a phone call this morning and made it clear that anderson and Donaldson shouldn't play in the same game today. So la russa claims trainers said he couldn't go two games. Basically tim gets a pseudo-one-game suspension because of Donaldson.

Guaranteed leury plays both games again...

Only person who hates black people and denies racism more than Schilling is probably Whitlock.

You can actually read Josh's lips when Grandal is going off on him... he basically keeps saying "I didn't say anything." He was going to deny it as much as he could but decided to own up to it at the end of the game.

Hasn't fooled them. Half this board is supporting Donaldson for different reasons. True colors on full display tonight.

I was just thinking.. man, what's an old white man like green line think about what tim anderson feels and thinks about being black in the current mlb game and culture. Surely he's an expert on this topic and understand the context and point better than that tim anderson guy

Done raining in next 30 minutes too. Booo

Looked like rain was gonna be cleared out by like 630-7pm. Weird

Is 3 points lower than TA's batting average. 346 to 343 That's not something you see everyday. Gotta hand it to em.

I won't get over that one for a long time. If my coach tried to do that to me in college/high school I'd have ignored his stupid ass decision.

I'm not really a fan of criticizing plays like that; these guys have internal clocks that we could never understand. He got him. That one was close but still, no different than the .2 seconds earlier.

BREAKING NEWS! Someone alert Rick Hahn!

I cannot remember the last time I saw a team put a hit and run on with men on 1st and 3rd and 1 out. Makes no sense. It's as stupid as making the first or last out at third base.

Sox just hit and run with a guy on third base lololol

Moncada didn't even run through the base with a potential double play ball lol

Why can't Tim just be the hitting coach and manager? Outside of being allergic to walking, Tim's approach at the plate is gold.

Tim did exactly what he should have with that pitch; unless you're talking about someone else.

Tim just too good.
