Castillo should do the honorable thing and retire tonight.

I'm going to chalk this one up to bad luck and being emotionally and physically exhausted after the Cubs series and having back to back day games after probably getting home around 1-2am on Tuesday night.

I'd have to check his exit velos, but eye test tells me everything he hits comes off the bat HARD, even the outs.

That's wild.

As much as I tell myself to not let sports upset me, I'm still very much a member of the carmine derrière club.

I don't disagree, the 0.1 inch ball touching the edge calls are pretty annoying. Stone warned about this changing the sport years ago. It probably doesn't help my opinion that the Sox are horrible at challenging.

Still 3-2 for Colson over here for me...

I certainly enjoy the ability to correct a bad call in a big spot, but part of me just wants it right 100% of the time to take the human element out of it, especially since a lot of these umps are pretty terrible.

Yeah, but Gausman can be coked out of his mind last night and take all the time he needs to work out his hand cramp?

Agreed, just do the robot zones already. Challenge system is an additional layer of chess this sport does not need.

Nailed it.

Would be nice to see the Sox lay off offspeed below the zone today. Starting to feel like the 2013-2018 era when soft tossing lefties like Bruce Chen were the bane of our existence.

I was at the Rate for Cubs v Sox this year, Cubs fan stops in the aisle on his walk up to hit on my wife, who he thought was married to my Cubs fan buddy sitting on the other side of her. I told him to keep walking and he said "meet me on the concourse." Guy was probably mid 50s and 165 lbs soaking wet, even Cubs fans in our section were chirping at him to shut up. Some guys are just idiots.

You're right, it was so clear you're talking about the actual Joe Crede when replying to a post about my Grandmother...

Keep my Grandmother's name out your mouf!
