Not shocking if true with how many innings he has thrown this year.

The way both Jimenez and Robert have pulled up on balls that hit the,it looks like they have been told to not to take chances near the wall. DO NOT GET HURT.

It's a good plan to just keep him sharp. He is so far beyond his innings from not only last year but the last 2 years. He's pitch over 100 for most of the year, he'll be fine for the extra pitches in the playoffs.

Good plan with Rodon. He is way over the innings not just from last year but the last 2 years. I'm still surprised he hasn't had more issues. It is a contract year though.

All depends on how that muscle feels. It's such a non-functional muscle that I don't think he really needs rest for that injury.

True. He had about 7 weeks off due to the surgery so he should not have some of the issues that some players who have played the whole season though.

Being in the Sox FO is like being a parent. No matter what you do, it isn't right.

Oakland and Tampa are pretty good teams.

Goes back to the same question. What's more important HFA or a healthy team.

I took it as if they don't have a good playoff run people will remember August and September and say it was a bad season.

Isn't that the purpose of a rebuild. Build a young, talented core then supplement with veteran FA?

Why would anyone care about August/September? The regular season is about making it to the playoffs. If the Sox miss the playoffs then those months matter.

Surprised he needs to use both arms to do it.

Bad hamstring injuries just take forever to come around. He won't really be right until next season.

Never said they could stop him. Just how they should play him to make it look like they are trying.

Teams know how to play him now without doing research. Play to pull against RHP and to go away against LHP.

Nerds rule the world.

He said that he was out due to the hamstring soreness. Then he was in the batting cage swinging and hurt his back,

Packy is a nickname for Patrick.

They are day to day, as are we all.

With 14 games in 13 days it makes sense leading into the end of the season.

Magically went from lower extremity soreness to low back inflammation. Maybe mental break is a more appropriate diagnosis.

Isn't that what you did by saying it is stoopid conservatives that think this way? You are assigning the opinion to a political group thus making it political. I happen to agree with the majority of your statements but generalizing it to a political group, even if it is the majority, isn't inclusive of the entire group.

He wasn't near the wall but if he continued at full speed to get to it, he would have. That's why he pulled up so his momentum wouldn't have taken him into it.

At the game Saturday I was joking with fans in the area that the Sox should petition the league office to have the runner start at 1st in extra innings as they seem to do better there than with RISP.
