I can't fix TLR, that is a whole other problem.

The odds are WAY better with a healthy roster. Like I can't even believe anyone would think otherwise.

Again if you give me home field advantage with a dead roster, it does no good. We have already got Rodons arm falling off again, and others potentially joining him. It won't be much of an advantage to have home field if ReyLo and Stiever are starting games 3 and 4.

Madrigal was the 1st guy, not the 2nd.

I think that is a gross simplification of the idea that goal #1 should be to have as much of this team healthy and rested as possible by the time the playoffs get here. HFA would be great, but if you destroy players while doing it, it does you no good. Carlos Rodon is a great example of that. Guys like Dylan Cease, Crochet and Kopech are in similar situations. Dallas has his most IP already since 2018. Then you look at the offense with major injury recoveries for a large chunk of the line up, plus nagging injuries for others. When you see people say they "don't care", this is what they are talking about. If you give up 5 games, but get into the post season with guys more than on fumes, it is worth it to me.

I am more confident of winning on the road than I am of winning because key guys are hurt and/or extremely fatigued but with home field advantage.

Not gonna be Kopech for all of the obvious reasons.

There is a better chance at getting 25% than 75 based on his history.

This is exactly why give Rodon a big multi year deal is absurd.

For every millennial joke that gets told, it will be fun watching those same Boomers try to figure out how to watch today's Sox game.

Que Soxtalk collective heart attack in 3.. 2...

Well, there is that Sunday line up everyone was looking for.

In reality this number is WAY higher.

The team defense hasn't been nearly as scary as the team IQ.

I would guess they wouldn't have looked at the Lynn deal and RR might still be the manager after more post season success last year if we are playing this counterfactual out.

It's OK people Dr Tray is on the case.

If you don't, then Don expect others to take your "opine" seriously. Soxtalk is better than the typical comments section replies for a reason, because most people here have thought deeper than "This trade sucks!".

Hamilton is on the IL.

There is always receipts.

We went through this with Rodon. We went through this with Giolito. We went through this with Cease. This is why pitchers with electric arms get many chances. You can't teach ceiling.

That is spectacular.
