Thaiss having a bad day.

Castro the new guy.

Castro. This should be interesting. If he walks the 1st batter things could get dicey.

Rojas pitiful

So if you think Grifol was a bad manager and Venable is a clone but instead blaming Venable you rather blame Getz by broad generalizations about lineup contruction and playing time. I'd ask you for some examples of these lineup constructions and playing time where Grifol and Venable are the same but I know you can't prove it by providing a large sample size of examples of anything concrete so it can be analyzed. Just your usual no facts , accusations. It's ludicrous to think Getz is telling Venable to do things that he voices his opinion against.

Vargas again !

Yes rookie, never any appearances in the Brewers system taken by the Sox in the Rule 5 so had to be on the Sox 26.

He'll be very cheap until he reaches arbitration . Long way to go.

7 pitch mow down for Smith throwing 98

Woo Vargas HR !!

Meidroth leadoff hit

Wish Elko and Sosa were in the lineup. Sox were 3-1 with Elko in the starting lineup.

All games are free today on the MLB app on your smart TVs.

I'm not going by history if it's ever happened. I'm reading the tea leaves on what been happening with Sox lately. If you can't sign a single player to a contract higher than $5M what makes you think he doesn't covet eliminating Robert's contract ? This is new level JR. He's at a whole new level of we cannot compete the way things are now. He's spending money ( buying up parking lots around the UC ) preparing his son's to keep the Bulls and sell the Sox and not spending on the Sox preparing for the strike.

But no reason to put Elko in again.

Yeah he'll be getting sent back down pretty soon.

I like them both but McKnight is a professional whereas McGuffey seems more like a fan. I kept asking myself how does McGuff keep getting regular work as a podcaster, 1st teaming with Garfien and now with Kap.

Robert is as good as gone by the trade deadline . I just don't see a scenario where JR wants to pay the rest of his salary for this year. I'd like to think that isn't true because that's the number 1 reason Getz will be getting low-ball offers or have to pay part of his salary to get a better prospect. Unless Robert picks it up in a hurry they aren't getting much for him. Please let me be wrong More than a couple teams making offers would help. Robert destroying the Cubs will be a good start. Just stay away from the wall in Wrigley.

On the new ReKap podcast they had Tyson Bagent on .McGuffey asked him Sox or Cubs and he said Sox ."Gimme the Sox.Gimme the Sox.Screw the Cubbies " right in Kaps face .It was hilarious ,right at about the 28:25 mark. He did give a shout out to PCA though. Looks like he went with a PCA haircut.

Oops . 😋wwasn't really paying attention so I checked the box score after they showed him on the field after that inining figuring they were showing him because he was just brought in and saw he didn't have an AB yet .

Welcome Gomez to your new team.

Great so he puts Elko in at 1st now.

2 chances that inning to PH Elko against a LH to look for 3 run HR. Venable surrendered .

I forgot the road emoticons .Let's see if we can avoid the shutout.

Elko was like the 4 leaf clover and Venable said no thank you. 😉
