I'm leery of Thorpe because of his lack of velocity, but they really need to call up someone, whether it's Thorpe, Sandlin or even Cannon. Kay has pitched well, but he, too, seems to be running out of gas.

This is it; Thanks I got on statcast and all I could find were his aggregate numbers. As for Cannon, it looks like he may be rounding into form.

Is there a site that has AAA pitch by pitch? Sandlin is dominating.

Good bounceback. Can't let a team like the Twins mess with us.

Cannon matching Reynaldo. Nice. He could be of help too, if he has it together. He was pretty good in his outing w/ Sox, except for his first inning.

Hopefully he's a starter next season; I was expecting him to start this season (but I think they were keeping him in relief).

Then why would he do it? Not only do it, but pay a premium to do it? Impatient, bad advisors, listening to people outside the organization (Jim Bowden, ahem)....Maybe he's just over his head.

You need scouts who know the organizations; never trade any serious resources for players teams are overtly trying to get rid of. We didn't pay much for that 2B from Cleveland in 2021, but it sure cleared the way for the rookie of the year for 2022. Colorado is hapy to be rid of Doyle. Trades on the other teams terms. Knock it off. And until they figure out how to knock it off, stop trading: buying is for suckers.

That was terrible.

Chris Murphy should be ready to come off of rehab soon. He's got some mph to his pitches.

Why wouldn't they just grab Suarez if they are doing this? Perez is probably as good as Pham will be.

I have this idea that Sandlin could be of some help down the stretch. But I may just be in dreamland.

Does he really need the AFL at this point?

If only the Rangers had waived Nicky Lopez (wishful thinking for a playoff contender, I know). Getz needs better scouts and advisors (both internal and external).

The Mets' "big money" moves, trading young players to rent their "ace", etc. failed miserably. It's when they started to clear out the riff-raff that things turned around for them.

Who they have 1 and 2 should be 29 and 30. Kuiper and Kenepper are more overrated than Benetti.

Sox just outsmarted themselves with this opener. Hicks had a good month. Now he's back to form, sadly. Why is Tyler Gilbert doing on the 26 man? Do they really need another lefty who tops out at 92?

Neither of those guys is really a prospect; one was released by the Yankees in 2025 and the other just given to the Phillies by the Dodgers. That's fine; Hill is a 4th OF and did not warrant a real prospect. The problem is the other side: for whatever reason we sent 2 serious prospects for Doyle As for Woods, yea getting him for Eisert was a great move. He's made a lot of good moves.

Some good pitching. Aside from Sandlin, Murphy (who I assume will be up soon) and the Saint with a nice inning.

We've used a lot of relievers; some of whom are rehabbing (Murphy), some in AAA, some in AAA for other teams (Eistert). Cannon comes up and give us several innings. We also lead the league in use of openers. Well, that overstates the bullpen usage as the real starter is considered a reliever. The trend has been for reliever to pitch multi-innings, and the Sox have jumped on that trend. Overall, I'm not overly worried about this.

I don't know that it has anything to do with being cheap. Everyone needs a 4th/5th OF, which Doyle is , other than one good outlier year on offense. Hill is the same player, pulled off of the waiver wire. they then dump Hill for basically nothing, and a couple of months later, trade for the same kind of player in Doyle. To be fair, these kind of trades plus his waiver pickups have been an overall positive. But perhaps Getz can just slow down a little and stop the zig-zagging.

They are still waiver-wire talents. Trading for them is highly questionable.

And he can play CF and SS; dump him and they'll spend $5 mill on a utility infielder next year. The tradeoff would be Grichuk or Doyle. Switching Grichuk for him is obviously ridiculous. I'm still not sure why they traded for Doyle, but they had their reasons and I doubt they dump him this quickly to wishcast a Suarez return to form (such that it was).

He remarked earlier this year that he pitches better with extra rest. It's going to be tough to give that to him going forward, but hopefully this reset does the trick.

Just a great game. Who did Cannon displace on the 26 man? Glad he settled down...he should be able to be a usable reliever. Just throw strikes.
