Really strange to play the right side in there. You'd think halfway would have been ideal.

Colson!

get him in

great job hagen.

I really think Quero is just a better player than Romo. Get the tipping thing fixed and get him back up here. Romo brings nothing.

Get a couple here and it's a new game.

Tigers fans seem to think this one will be a delayed start. Maybe the excuse I need to go get this work out in before the game.

That's how you frame a ball

Colson's defense has been really good the last week or so other than weak ass throw that Mune bailed him out on.

Quantity is a quality of its own and one the Sox system doesn't have. 4 prospects at a 40 FV will probably produce one at 50, so a solid starter, and then the other three guys are probably just backups or never make MLB. Still a useful flip for the seller. I don't really see anybody that Sox traded becoming a solid starter, maybe Boston Smith but he's a man without a MLB position and if he's not a catcher he's nothing. s%*# that Josh Hartle guy pitched 4.1 scoreless today for Nats and has a 6/1 walk to K ratio to start his MLB career. We'd be livid if we traded that guy from our system right now.

Rewatching the game as I had to work during the middle of it, Jason's tears are delicious. His partner is awful, adds nothing, and Jason gets to fill the air, the thing he loves most.

Is Thorpe going to start?

5 up on loss column is nice. It's starting to feel like we're going to get 85-87 and it will be enough. .510 from here on out pretty much forces the three teams behind us to go like 65% baseball to pass us. Doesn't really feel like any of them have that in them. Will change a bit after the finals tonight but Sox are +15 runs ahead of the 2nd place team in the AL in RS now. Starting to pull away a bit. Detroit sounds like they are doing a bullpen day tmr. Be nice to stay hot and put up another 6-10.

GET ON BACK THERE

Vaughn down to 1.2 fWAR and a 136 wRC+. His xwOBA is running about 35 points lower than his actual wOBA. There's no there there. I'd expect him to be about replacement level rest of way for Brew Crew. Gonzo rocking a 90 OPS+ in Pitt. Some power, but a 250 OBP. Making a lot of outs, and he's been borderline unplayable as a SS. Replacement level in bWAR in 68 PA. He's trending towards utility guy that isn't really a backup SS. I can see why he was moved. Obviously he has development left, but the Sox traded from a position of depth in order to hopefully restock the lower minors, not the worst idea. I don't think this is Semien 2.0.

Will's boys don't quit. Every time it looks like they might have a long losing streak they find a way to turn it around. Let's go Phillies and Padres! Call one in Pope.

HE GAWN

Here comes roid boy.

LUCKY AF. We'll take it! Big out!

Don't have a good feeling about this. I guess Taylor is now on a pretty strict pitch limit and innings limit. Sucks.

Brutal.

Having Doyle around as an elite defensive replacement and PR isn't the worst.

What a fucking signing Grichuk has been.

We need an insurance run or 5.

Taylor.
