Don't say this to the media. They deny it and say everyone gets equal time and is treated equally.

He was by far the most impressive player I saw in the minors. He was just 18 playing for Appleton and was a man among boys. He destroyed everything.

That's interesting considering how many times the others have won the division.

The last time I saw them was in the late 90's. I think it was at the Riv. Might have been the double door.

]another way would be get him to turn away from tight pitches instead of ducking. That's something for the off season though. Wouldn't help right now.

Agreed. Weird but excellent live.

Agreed. Let get it rolling. Although I do need one more regular season win to win the over 91.5 bet I made before the season.

Luckily the suspensions would take ace next year.

I think you'll see 1. Giolito, 2. Lynn, 3. Cease 4. Rodon and kopech if he wasn't needed earlier or Lopez if he was.

You can look back at history a condemn everyone for everything all you like. It wouldn't have done anyone any good at the time and they would have lost the clubhouse and would have made everything ineffective. The league can suspend him but it mean that wasn't a reason for it. Did Lange get suspended for hitting Abreu? How many others where it was obvious were managers suspended. And yes they all know more than me, but I'm not the one condemning people.

Ok. So there was a memo from the commissioner that they shouldn't do it. But because there was no agreement with the union they really couldn't do anything about it. Still sounds there effectively wasn't a rule against it. I still don't hold the managers at the time accountable for something that wasn't enforceable. They would have lost the locker room in a second if they spoke out. This was the time when I was working in the league and believe me no good would have come from it.

You should Kopech in the category as well as he was suspended for PEDs.

I disagree with your scenarios that they weren't good reasons. You are assuming that everyone one of the ones against the Sox were unintentional. I'm going to say the people involved know a little more than you do. Yermin caused the reason himself by ignoring instructions from the manager. There was no cheating in the PED area as there was no rule against it. If that's your standard then every manager of all time is at fault as well. as none of them call out any of thier players for doing things that aren't against the rules.

I disagree with the entire second paragraph. There is absolutely a reason for it. Whether you agree with the tactic or not, is another story. There was no reason for the one in Detroit the other day. None that I can remember anyway.

Similar to Giolito who went from one of the worst to one of the best in a single year?

They are appealing it SO he is suspended at the beginning of 2022 and not at the end of this year. They won't hold the hearing until spring training.

It's the movie set not the MLB field. If he screws it up, MLB probably buys it.

I've said all along, the advantage of having the huge lead was that they could rest players while most other teams were still wearing down the players. Now when all the other are resting their players, the Sox are gearing up and trying to go into the playoffs on a hot streak. Now, it guarantees nothing but it's preferable to having worn down players.

I enjoy going the NFL games. Although by the time this happens, I won't purchase PSLs at the new stadium as I will be close to leaving this wonderful state.

These games are meaningless. They want to get crochet in a pressure situation like he may see in the playoffs.

Wants to see if crochet can get a rh out with a RISP.

The Sox have plenty of 2B options with a sub .700 career OPS.

Possible too.

He didn't throw many sliders comparatively. You have to wonder if his elbow is bothering him.

My game day ritual.
