You can't start a LHP against this lineup.

113mph for Luis

This kid! That sound!

Grandal effect.

Some pretty bad at bats against a guy looking toasty.

What garbage.

I think he's hurt and needs the day unfortunately. He looked pretty gimpy again yesterday. Almost wonder if he's playing through a sports hernia that will require surgery in the offseason.

let's just say if you're looking to fill up the woodbox for the stove in winter from the woodpile out back he's a 1 trip man. This guy stacks.

Yep. It's not like money and resources haven't been put into the pen. And good on Renteria using Foster in a modern smart way. As for the pitching stats overall: Sox have played some really bad offenses. This is at best a mediocre pitching staff we all know that. But with this offense and so far so good defense a mediocre pitching staff is going to make it to the playoffs.

We should make the internet stickers not anonymous so I can laugh at a specific joker when a clearly improved James gets an aav over 14mm for 3 years. Dude has been going deep in counts and serving balls into the RF gap for a season now,the guy that tried to pull everything in the D is gone. Also the sox' new PC is doing work. Got these guys doing what the feel comfortable with at the dish. Talent helps but don't smother it.

There's no chance he takes the QO. He's looking for years and security as he should be. He's already proven his worth. He's a vastly improved hitter from his time in Detroit. He might only be a 2 WAR catcher next 3 years -- but as we know those guys don't grow on trees. Some contender will give him the years.

Probably but the leverage is real. If a team (and I don't pretend to know which one) has a black hole at catcher and are at the end of their window to contend maybe ur ask gets filled by an over excited bidder. To me this season seems real and legit, I'd imagine the deadline is gonna be active. Sox put a lure out on James who knows what will bite.

It does and I'm sorta of the same mindset. If the sox can get a top 75 guy for him it's a no brainer. You never will go broke buying for a dollar and selling for 2. Trading aphorisms are applicable here. Buy low sell high and be greedy when others are afraid. Tell grandal to call more changeups...

Bingo. And it's playing out. Too bad the little sparkplug but baseball moron leury got hurt. You nailed it the problem was always the opportunity cost. Oh and our manager doesn't understand a natural platoon.

One of us one of us! We need to add Bauer just to see the looks he gives eloy from the mound after he o'les one in left.

Yup I love what McCann brings but there's zero chance he signs here. He wants 3/50 and a starting gig. Not happening on the South Side. I'm bummed but hey good job acquiring him for cheap and helping sheppard gio and this young team.

He'll be top 10.

Correct.

There's a lot of talent on this team. Beating up on bad teams should be expected. When the competition gets tougher that's when winning on the margins -- something the manager is involved in -- will become critical.

A very satisfying win. Keep it going.

lol, parrot wanted it again and popped it up. can laugh up 9.

he hung it and he hurt it! a moon shot!

Good job TA. Let's finish this one off without any injuries and get ready for the Cubbies.

need a K here please.

Probably wouldn't have gotten him but man.
