Interesting, it seems like AJ is alluding to it being a phantom IL stint. If he was actually hurt and can put up more starts like the Cincy game it might not be the end of the world to have him around 1 more year.

I'm not sure any front office could have developed these 3 bums. League just whiffed on their scouting reports on these guys IMO.

Caught this yesterday, what a blunder bringing him in was. His -0.9 WAR over just 6 starts and 9 appearances with the Sox likely cost them the division, then he pulls s%*# like this. Fire him into the sun and eat the money.

Of qualifying LF's last year, Sam was the worst in baseball with -9 fielding run value. It's going to be really difficult to find a spot for all of these guys because Sam simply cannot be your opening day LF next year. Colson is a top 10 SS in the league in the same metrics, Chase is the 6th best 2B. Roch and Bonemer complicate things further. Sam could be a light power DH/platoon role if you can find someone to take on Beni's contract or just eat it. I think Beni has to go regardless so you can see if Colson and Mune can bounce back before you make a long term decision on them, it's difficult to see how both of them stay on the team past 2027 if you extend Vargas as you should. Good problem to have I suppose.

For sure, I hate any field where a home run is determined by a line on a wall as well. Home runs should land over walls.

haha jinx!

I hate this mickey mouse ballpark so much.

Kolson drawing walks? Wtf is going on?!?!

DON'T STOP NOW BOYS!!! GREAT START!

I'm putting a Sam 10+ pitch first AB and Muneshot in the 1st into the ether, set the tone early and get the boobirds out and let Burke cook! Go get a W today and pop more bottles in Houston boys!

It was clear as day he was on the grass.

Don't have the rule if you aren't going to enforce it, he's clearly on the grass.

Once a cheater, always a cheater!

3 innings in and already lost my voice.

KOLSON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overpowered by 94-95 middle middle meatballs thru the heart of your order not a good look.

DON'T STOP NOW BOYS!!!

make it hurt Sam!

Great job Hagen, now let's keep going deep in this counts and put a big crooked number up on that board!

I had a hot run there for a minute earlier this year, but after my first loss I chose to step down from gamethread duties due to fear of becoming the next Ron.

If Will insists on an opener I'd like to see if be Hagen. Let's see what this kid is made of in a big spot. It's not like we have a ton of better options and he's been lights out this year and I don't trust Fedde to get through Yordan in the first.

He wouldn't stop talking about shoveling that "boomstick" down his throat after the Texas series and when paired up with Schriff it had to be the worst booth I've ever listened to.

When you win the beer tastes better!
