Yeah. I was really happy we got to see Stiever on Sunday and liked what I saw. I just don't know that there is enough time for me to trust him with a playoff performance yet.

I was looking for a TA thread. I've never been so amazed. TA is the story of baseball to me right now, nothing else is close to as interesting.

I can't really think about anything but talking about TA right now. I don't know of a single player on the sox I can think of that became elite after arriving in the bigs so quickly and unexpectedly. A short recap of what I hoped TA would be throughout the course of his career. TA is drafted: - I hope he can be another Alexei Ramirez TA is in minors: - Shawon Dunston comp. That's interesting. Solid player, we need those. TA arrives: - I guess Schoop is making things work, hopefully he can get to Schoops level TA last year: - Whoa...he's really good, is he a top 5 shortstop now? TA This year: - Whoa...Tim is a top 5 player in baseball. That's crazy. Luis Robert I had expectations he could become a great. Same with Eloy. Same with Moncada. Same with Jose! Same with Giolito, kopech, Frank Thomas, Crede. Have I ever watched anything like this? This is like a sammy sosa transition without the roids and expansion-weakened pitching. Tim Anderson should be a damn MVP. That's INSANE.

Problem is will we know whether he'll come out looking like his first inning where his nerves worked against him or his settled down version?

Funny this was last nights actual winner thread but we have so many we can’t tell anymore

I’m still confused if we have until the 20th now to make the decision. It’s a pretty tough call to me, ideally he’s only up until Keuchel is reinstated.

Good way to overuse your shutdown closer is to mismanage all the other relievers your manager trusts Sox yesterday got 7IPs from their starter, 1.1 from their back from injury reliever and .2 to finish it from their non closer. It’s a great day for bullpen management moving forward. And you are still whining about it.

Florida pitchers man.

“Sox should not over pitch this guy” and in same post ”Sox should overpitch this guy! What one more batter is going to kill him?!??”

Honestly I think we can all agree that our main takeaway from this game is Fire Ricky Renteria

So the Sox just like win every day now.

I thought it was LA and San Fran/Oak?

Ha I actually thought that’s what happened

Good god guys give it a fucking rest. Why not pitch Fry 2 IP in his first game back? Maybe they decided on how much he could go. Good lord.

Could you have waited

Eloy would have had that

I kinda like McCann riding him high and inside after he was hit there last inning

Yes Dr Fathom what do you think?!?!??

Jarrod is in left, so you can now only complain about the pitchers

Lol. What’s he at now .375?

Don’t worry. TA gonna go for 9 here

Boy Fry was really overmatched there thanks everyone

Nice! Like the service, hate the poor personalized number lol

If you guys didn’t think Fry was gonna pitch tonight I don’t know what to tell you.

Plum-911 really bothers me
