  1. Those are straight fire, they nailed it. And I think Giolito enjoys being a Sox. Maybe they can make it happen with him on a slight discount.
  2. Well clearly we disagree here on the crux of it but the details are important and it wasn't an arm injury. It was a "my upper back and neck feels stiff" injury. He rested it for a week and a half and it healed. Go figure. Just another dad bod trying to be athletic in his mid 30s.
  3. A lesser team would have gone on to a prolonged slump after the Yankees doldrums. But a lesser team as you mentioned doesn't have this much great SP. There are holes in the lineup on any given day but for the most part the guys compliment each other well and when you have a couple guys like Moncada and Grandal in the lineup they are just going to get on base enough to string some innings together via a walk and a blast, walk and a whatever -- the team won't get shutout or shut down below 3 runs often and with this pitching that's a winning formula. That said, to compete for a World Series title this team absolutely needs Robert and Eloy healthy. I think every team would.
  4. Yea that's what I was about to post. Lynn is a well respected vet, a guy that is a leader and surely knows his body. The Sox do a good job keeping players on the field for the most part. They've earned the benefit of the doubt here and so has Lynn and frankly La Russa. This is the sort of thing you hired him for. He does do out of the box stuff once and awhile and personally I think it's because he's a very good man manager, all his other foibles aside.
  5. Eh, play to win each game on that day and worry about the next day the next day. Good advice in sports and life I'd say.
  6. hopefully he can push for a AA promotion this year. Intriguing prospect again now that he's finally hitting a bit.
  7. If Lynn gets hurt it will have nothing to do with three days rest. He had a minor trap muscle injury he probably strained it grabbing a beer out of the clubhouse fridge because the one he wanted was all the way in the back. This is a team with pennant and WS aspirations there no punting games. Lance had a nice little breezy 82 pitches today and should be good for 80 more in a few days. No problem at all with the move and if the team's trainers and Hahn didn't clear it it wouldn't be happening.
  8. make him throw two in a row with them loaded is my opinion.
  9. 30-20 after 50, not bad, let's make it 31 of 51 in a bit!
  10. if eloy and robert and healthy he's got no spot on the team. he's going to be below an 800 OPS soon at this rate. he better start hitting again.
  11. yermin is gonna find himself off the roster in September at this rate.
  12. 1-2 with HR, 2BB and that's a mediocre day for Yoan. Shows his talent.
