Can’t say I expected to come out of there with a win

Shit like this is why replay fucking sucks

This is a beef I’ve had about abreu since they had LaRoche, who was terrible obviously but at least was a better defender.

He was sitting in the dugout...

That plan has to include Abreu DHing. He won't do it. I agree that Collins should be getting regular at-bats.

True, but attrition is part of the plan. Maybe not quite to this level but it's part of the plan. I'm not going to lose sleep over any of the guys that went down today. What's concerning, though, is the overall trend

I had already put Burdi into the 'Would be nice to if they get anything out of him' category. This won't help increase that status.

What a year for that dude. Bright side, I'd rather a pitcher have a broken face than a broken elbow. Down side, there is a non-zero chance he comes out of this year with a tinge of ptsd

Okay, I am at a point where I am willing to admit they may be doing something wrong. This can't all be bad luck.

Don't get why they didn't just call up Zavala if this was the plan.

He's done it a handful of times and it's bitten him. They've lost the DH twice in, what, 15 days?

Abreu's refusal to DH regularly is infuriating. Let Collins play first so you don't have to put yourself in a position to lose your DH, because that is 100% why he's not playing.

Detweiler V. Berrios is about the worst matchup imaginable for pre-game excitement.

If this team ever starts winning games I don't ever want to hear this dudes name again. FWIW I firmly believe he would be traded for someone else if not James Shields anyway.

Zobrist's money disappearing is what allowed them to sign Kimbrel

What is the significance of 7/3, I keep seeing that date thrown around but I personally don't see them calling him up in a slump and right after he pitched a rain shortened game.

Arguing whether or not he's actually ready is pointless, but if I'm Rick Hahn and I determine that he's ready today, he comes up today so he can have his weaknesses exposed now instead of in 2020. I'm way more concerned about 2020-2021 that I am about a year when Eloy, Moncada, Anderson and Giolito will have all likely left.

Robert will be better served in his younger years by coming up sooner. Whether or not that is enough reason idk, but to say there is no reason is not right. I'd personally rather get to the point where everyone is good at the same time, than burn Moncada and company's service time waiting for Luis to figure it out because we needed an extra year after the vast majority of the core will be gone.

If Adbert Alzolay shows he can stick over the next month, you could actually be onto something. I'd give it a one in a million chance of happening, but the logic at least tracks.

Moncada should be a backup too if you ask me. Sox should have three All-Stars.

Palka stinks. Quite a lot. BUT He's not an ever present reminder of a massive failure, at least provides the illusion of being someone you could dream on, and might hit a 600 foot bomb here and there. So bring em on.

They have three DH types who all have a different 'home' position, one of whom can only rarely DH. I don't think it's that bad.

There aren't many guys who aren't worthy of this particular MLB roster. Palka's at least fun bad

Other years Yonder probably sticks around, but they're running out of time to try guys out.

Kinda just highlights the fact it should have been done weeks ago.
