No reason not to believe him and he DHs anyway. Oh well. They aren't playing that great lately and we've been strong at home, I think 2 of 3 is doable but I'd be fine avoiding a sweep.

I think the 22nd is a bit early as the ramp up now will require probably 4-5 AAA games. I'd imagine he starts a rehab assignment Monday with Charlotte and plays his first game with them Tuesday, get in 4-5, and joins the club in Chicago on the 24th.

RHB Mickey Tettleton imo.

I almost posted it, I saw it too after a few more watches comparing him with vargas and didn't want to post it. Yes, it's there, the back tilt that all great hitters have is there. admin seeing it too, yea.

Him and Vargas have similar builds and swings. We'll see how he does when the inevitable AA promotion hits but a real talent no doubt.

Well if they don't think there's anybody worth it left in this class might as well trade it. Sox don't have the best track record here so hard to trust them but hey, the org is as deep as it's been in a decade probably since so yea, whatever, keep building.

Well s%*#, new Sox in all the ways I guess. This feels like one they would have tried to get in in prior seasons. Oh well nobody can get hurt on a wet field and Colson's back gets another rest day.

I mean they can play under a drizzle. I'd imagine they are going to wait at least another hour. Off days in August are precious. I see what you're saying on the radar but maybe they get a 8:45ish start in.

Looks like one last major storm area moving over area right now. Should be north of Rate field by maybe 8:30? That's my best guess looking at how it's moving on radar.

Teel sprinting with staff watching. He’s getting close to another rehab assignment. Hopefully 2 weeks hes in Chicago.

He's been playing a little better and with Colson's back a bit iffy he's gotta stay for now as I don't think they trust Gonzo or Chase at SS, and I think that's smart. Acuna has been solid in the field at SS and that has some value for a backup.

yup until he's banned.

Seems like they will get this one in. Odds were much higher on this website earlier. Seems legit. https://www.dugoutradar.com/

What a lineup! Just get Teel back and we are READY.

campbell is a 4th rounder from a few years ago, hasn't hit much in the minors, has some tools looks like. Potential utility guy: The Good PhightThe Good Phight’s Community Prospect list: #16 - Dylan Ca...Utility guys need some love tooOther guy Colmeneres is a glove first SS that is still stuck in A ball at 24. Probably just org filler.

These guys all know the deal. Better he gets traded than just DFAd. I like him in the dugout but Pereria is just a better bat.

Is Kay starting or we using an opener? Anybody know?

That's like a carbon copy of yesterday with even more red. Only good thing about these storms is they appear to be quick moving.

good job mods.

The unwritten rule I proposed to write down is if gamethread honorary starter doesn't have it up by the time lineups are posted someone can snipe it. But it's 9 fucking AM here when Ron made this one.

Yes and without some big bats in the lineup recently. Defense has been solid too overall, since they were at around -10 runs below avg they've climbed up to -8.1 over the last few month. Not a great defense, but solid.

'tism containment thread. Or crabs in a bucket, pick your preferred nomenclature.

Now 6th in fWAR at 10.3 for position players with a 107 wRC+, also good for 6th in MLB. Pitching 17th in fWAR but 21st in FIP. I don't really use xFIP anymore but if you prefer it 25th in xFIP. So good to borderline great offense and mediocre to borderline bad pitching. All adds up to 1st place so far.

delete this s%*# mods. bad karma.

Trading back end 10-15 prospects in system for immediate help bullpen makes fine sense imo. just get some cost controlled arms if any turn out.
