Falstaff

I think there will be teams dumping players for the last month to save a couple of bucks. Even teams like StL and Pitt which are 5 & 7.5 back might be ready to toss in the hat. on 9/1. Martin will be back 8/28, he could be a huge help if he can keep it together. 9/1 I think Thorpe will be called up, I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox let Acuna go.

Uriquidy looked a bit like Sweaty Freddy in the first inning, sweat pouring down his face. The Sox have been resilient all season, they will put this loss behind and move on, that's what they do. Let's see if the guy's slumping can start to snap out of it in tonight's game.

Does Getz bring Grich back next season? He is 35 yrs old but Venable loves having him on the bench and the team loves this guy .

Burke & Kay will save the day.

I have to believe Benny is going to be on the roster in 2027, can't see the Sox eat $15M.

Teams can only expand the roster to 28, the rules are different now.

Today's batters are facing velocity with so many pitchers giving max effort on every pitch. The pitchers are not as guarded because they know TJ surgery is an industry expectation. Average Speed by Pitch Type Four-seam fastball: 94–95 mph Sinker / Two-seamer: 93–94 mph Cutter: 89–90 mph Changeup: 85–86 mph Slider: 84–85 mph Curveball: 79–80 mph Historical Velocity Trends 2008 (Start of tracking): 91.9 mph 2015: 92.9 mph 2021: 93.7 mph Today: 94.7 mph

Dang, to bad his control is out of control.

The post-game show was really good today, Our Chuck was eating hot wings for losing the pick to click with Ozzie. Then they interviewed Emma, the "cutie patootie", that got the walk off homer from Friday night. She gave Rogers the ball and he gave her a signed bat, signed a ball, and a signed jersey.

Had Fedde started could he had and gone 6 or 7 innings today? possibly, he was dealing. The Sox pen pulls out another GEM, Newc openes with 2 innings, 2 innings of high leverage complete shutdown from Hagen, Grant got touched up for 1 run but held the damage to a minimum. A total team win from the Sox pitchers.

Gary Peters was 26 when he won ROY. Tristan Peters is 26, he might not win the ROY, but he made the All-Star team.

Sox need to score first and play with a lead.

I agree with you on Chase as the Sox second baseman. Does Braden stay a switch hitter or just bats L? Does Sam get platooned in Left and only starts against RHP?

Colson's splits vs RHP & LHP are very interesting. vs RHP 194/274/401 vs LHP 259/335/503

It seems like Bonemer is hitting a homer every day, he is up to 33.

In the end the Amtrak maintenance yard property is getting sold and relocated with or without Ishbia's involvement.

Excellent point and factually true, then toss in that the funding is Federal and in place.

I agree with you on the bullpen being taxed. Hopefully with the expanded roster and a fresh Martin it could find some relief. The Sox bullpen has been outstanding for the most part and has answered the call from Venable. They have some studs in the pen.

17 years should produce 8 World Series Championships give or take.

Raja will meet the Imam next and present him with a Hidden Creek Farm Pork Sampler.

It's tough to see favs get let go. Brian Hanely was really good, and now Mully. I enjoy Haugh, to me he is very professional. I am curious who they team him up with.

I am a fan of Ryan McGuffey, he is likable, knowledgeable and passionate, so he fits the bill.

It was nice the Sox got their Friday Night @ The Rate groove back on.
