this angels team is not very likeable.

yea, resigned to that fact as well. Solid player, not ever going to be a star.

god damn man, fuck the umps with moncada, puts him an awful 0-2 hole, AGAIN

I'm resigned to the fact that TA just isn't a very good hitter.

I thought for fucking sure he was going to catch it when he was going back.

fuck off trout, PALKA SMASH

TA has really picked it up defensively the last month or so.

man Ohtani crowds the fuck out of the plate. Good job making him flinch from Covey. Smith is by far the Sox' best framer as well.

the RF bleachers are going to need a rebuild after this series. Crater damage.

Clarkin's greatest contribution will forever be "the bessss" anyways.

Yea Clarkin is not going to be protected and won't be picked either. Obvious decision for the Sox. Stephens I'd imagine they will call up in September and they won't expose him again. Hopefully the Sox can move Narvaez and a couple relievers before the deadline. What's the deal with Zevala, he's injured? According to that chart linked above he's Rule 5 eligible this offseason. If the Sox can move Omar and he's healthy seems prudent to give him a cup of coffee.

Brew Crew reaction is mixed at best. They aren't happy giving up Kodi.

This is a pretty amazing resource, wow. Looks like Cease, Kopech and Adams will need to be protected, and then not much else to worry about, next offseason will be tougher. Wonder if they will let Zavala go...

There's no 40 man crunch. Davidson, Palka, and Smith are all DFA or "traded for cash considerations" types. So is half the bullpen. The 40 man crunch will happen when the club is good and the prospects have matured, like the Yankees this year.

Probably not but another arm to dream on.

Going from Biloxi to Birmingham, short trip at least.

That K rate is pretty sexy tho for a 22 year lefty in AA. Seems like a guy that can get whiffs, regardless of how hard he's throwing.

Seems like a fine trade. Glad the Sox are going for high variance types. Plenty of depth in the minors, swing for the fences.

it's fucking hot on the west coast.

great thread, as noted, most impressive thing about cease, at least imo, is how he's been able to stay healthy and ramp up his workload.

oh no hit him in the armor, ffs

inscrutable talent really

that ball was kilt.

how the fuck do you swing through that?

TA needs to fucking do something here.
