If he's effective as a bullpen piece right now...and he's satisfied with that roll and helping the team...who gives a shit? No sense trying to ram a square peg into a round hole. Nice to see him gain a little confidence back instead of continually getting hammered as a starter. Many predicted this as his fate anyway....

Really no surprise. Most were clamoring that's where he should have been anyway...but I applaud the Sox for at least giving him a chance at being a starter...and also applaud Fulmer for embracing this opportunity.

Lol...pretty much sums it up.

cock tease....

I don't know...there's literally nobody in the Mariners systems I'm enamored with. Maybe I'm not savvy to some of them...which is probably the case...but still a bunch of meh.

agreed...I don't get it. It's not like the Sox are going to just fork him over either...and those effers are stingy with their specs...

If anybody wants to just sit down and watch something just to laugh...good God...I stumbled across this movie called Somebody Marry Barry (on Prime). Funniest shit I've seen in a long long time. Couple of times I laughed so hard i had tears...goddamn it's funny.

I really struggle to find stuff that keeps my interested for very long in terms of series. I really enjoyed The Sinner tho. Only 8 episodes...so it was perfect. Got renewed and starts up again this Aug. On a side note...new season of Ozark starts August 31....FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

that was pretty sweet...wasn't a cheapy either.

can we option Renteria?...

I love AJ...would love to have him in the booth all the time. Those highlights really make me miss RELEVANT White Sox baseball...

this is exactly what I was going to type....not if you plan on competing.

Fez is in the fold! Sucks for him getting sent out here....it's 115º today.

hahahaaaaaaa......

USA Today in trouble due to crap content....

Not all that sexy a choice anymore is he (Martinez)?....

yeah...however...a thumb injury REALLY takes a long time to completely heal from my experience. Sucks he's missed so much time....typical Sox horseshit luck tho.

Soria looks like a completely different pitcher from the beginning of the year. Hope they don't just give him away for garbage...but the way he's been throwing I'd expect a decent prospect in return.

which will make players around him better too...no? That's how it usually goes. I mentioned this quite a few pages back about this being one of the best things for Moncada if somebody like Eloy comes up and starts tearing it up. I think it changes Moncada's mindset from "don't screw up/do things wrong/make adjustments"...to being aggressive to be great (if that makes sense). Think I was kinda mocked for suggesting that. But we'll see.... I can't wait for him to get up here...he and Kopech and hopefully Robert soon thereafter.

he keeps this up...absolutely. He's looked phenomenal lately.

not even remotely going to write him off...but he needs to start showing some improvement here pretty soon. Not sure what his issues are...but they're really rubbing some of that shine off his star. I realize he's still very young...but c'mon.

hear ya. I read an article in the Athletic a while back where I cut him some slack a little. He's had a lot on his plate...and he was trying to soak in some wisdom from Yolmer as far as switch hitting (which obviously isn't easy at this level). He's just so incredibly bad hitting right handed tho. At what point do they tell him to pull the plug. Another year? two?

kinda harsh. Yes...everybody anticipated the Sox would be locked into a 1-1 tie in the 11th. He batted Palka when he should have. What did he do wrong?

correct me if I'm wrong...but don't they say catchers can't do that anymore?

why I'm not a fan of sliding head first. you want to block the bag like that....you're ankle's getting a set of cleats shoved into it.
