So a few days ago my parents asked me what I was doing and I made the mistake of answering "posting in the game thread" and that led to a whole line of questioning about this site and threads like this one are why they were only half joking when they asked why I don't just spend more time looking at porn like normal guys my age.

It should be situational. Madrigal up and 2 outs, worth the risk to try and steal 2nd. Moncada up and less than 2 outs, absolutely not worth the risk.

Lynn, Rodon, Giolito

Looks like the odd man out is going to be Hamilton due to injury.

I would say the Twins simply for the fact that the Senators/Twins are the only team they have been in the same division/league with continuously since 1901. I know the Senators spent a lot of years being terrible, but the longest history is there.

Mercedes catching.

Heuer? WTF?

Bunting was a bad idea but if you're going to do it at least bunt to 3rd.

Yes, Derek Holland please.

He already had 2 HR on off speed stuff this weekend so yeah try a few fastballs.

This is the 3rd time this season the Sox have been -200 or more on the ML. Lost the previous two.

Time to get Engel back up.

Let Sheets PH for Mercedes.

I don't have a problem with pulling Keuchel after 6 despite the low pitch count because he's bad the 3rd time through the order. I don't have a problem with trying Heuer but there should have been a mound visit from Katz once he went 2-0 on the first batter. I do have a problem with bringing Marshall in because he had pitched the day before.

Freddy Peralta no hitter thru 7 vs Arizona

Cleveland loses to Baltimore.

Grandal walks twice in one inning.

If Dallas is going to keep getting pitches 2 inches outside called strikes, just keep throwing it there.

Right now, Lamb is the best guy to bat 5th vs RHP.

FYI: Tickets for the July 23-25 series in Milwaukee want on sale 4 minutes ago.

Updated data through games of 6/2. Sox are -12.39 for the season, only the Dodgers are worse at -13.25. Standard deviation is 6.13, so the Sox are a touch beyond 2 standard deviations.

Sox starters are 4th in MLB with a 3.09 ERA. Only team in the AL in the top 7. By the way, the Tigers are 5th in the AL. Their bullpen is a disaster though.

Twins now 12 games out, Cruz sporting a .841 OPS, and Oakland only getting .674 from their DH, looks like a good fit for a trade.

If Tony won't get tossed standing up for his players someone has to.
