I'm with you. Sox could use a few days off. This might make up for some of the bad BABIP luck.

For sure. I honestly kinda want to sell both. This is about the best they are ever going to be IMO. For various reasons on both, but mostly that James probably isn't really a 3 WAR catcher most likely for the next few years and Colome most likely isn't going to succeed as a closer as he ages. Not without a really signfiicant improvement in his command and control, which he's never shown.

You love to see it. Boston way down too. And the Mariners still suck, some things never change.

Yea he is, last year wasn't a fluke. Thing is I don't think he's going to re-sign he wants FA after the Sox did him dirty two years in a row (is what it is Grandal is a massive add) and the Sox won't pay what he's going to get.

The year he was traded he saw a big drop in his peripherals which he luckily offset with the highest strand rate of his career. If Q was a stock Hahn bought at rock bottom and sold at the top. Hahn has clear weaknesses but trading high is not one of them. It was a heist and most Sox fans knew at the time Q was entering the downside of his career, you could see it in his peripherals that year and just watching him pitch. Lost some of that command on his fastball and he didn't have a huge margin for error.

Mendick is doing a helluva job in the Yolmer role, pleasant surprise honestly looks like a solid utility guy with a 8 year career in front of him.

Every game feels like a playoff game, at least to me, leads to some emotion.

it's one thing to lose it's another to lose in the manner they were doing it. that's what I think most of us complainers were b****ing about.

Give the guys a lot of credit they didn't roll over and die when they could have. Good job all around and Eloy keep that oppo approach.

Wow, he hasn't had that good command all year, good job Colome.

How did we not get a better closer this offseason?

nasty pitch to get him but FFS take a god damn pitch in that situation, it's not like the bases were juiced and he had to come at Robert like the previous situation.

YOU KNOW HE DOESN'T WANT TO THROW YOU A STRIKE!

great swing Mazara!

he didn't which should scare the shit out of the opposing team.

THERE YOU GO KID!

we've had a lot of bad luck this year that's for sure.

Good rip, I like it.

wow what a dumbass! thanks Tigers! Another genius move by TA!

omg dude stop being in auto swing mode!

Boyd WANTS to walk our hitters and they are trying to not be walked. Is there anybody in the dugout that's getting in these guys' ears about how wild and shitty this guy is? Did they watch any video? Christ, when Jose is being the most patient hitter...

Yup. Lack of attention to detail. Starts with the manager.

jesus christ this kid cannot fucking command his pitches.

not surprised at all.

God damnit, catcher defense has been HORRIBLE this year.
