About the same or less than napping in the dugout. If a doctor orders you not to work because of a medical issue, they almost certainly aren't going to sign off on you working from home.

When Gio starts doing the speed walk, it's not a good sign.

And if his condition is so serious he had to leave immediately, how is watching the games and in constant contact with Cairo better, and medically allowed. The fact that no one is talking, just a press release means either this situation is rather dire or there is some BS going on and they don't want to ho on the record with blatant lies.

If everything else played out the same but the only difference was the Sox actually hung on to win the game they lost to Cleveland when they led 8-2 in the 9th, there would be a 3 way lie for 1st in the ALC right now.

True and it messes with Cease.

If Cease can lead the Sox to victory tonight, and Seattle can beat Cleveland, the Sox blowing that 8-2 lead in the 9th vs. Cleveland earlier this season would be the only thing keeping the ALC from a 3 way tie at the top.

Yes. If anything, playing hard "for him" only when he's gone makes him look even worse. The more I think about this situation, the stranger it gets. Forget the Sox aren't providing updates, but if his condition was so dire, he had to leave immediately, why would Cairo consult with him every day? Wouldn't a doctor be opposed to that?

It was hard to win when they played, and each of them gets hurt a lot. If you aren't prepared to play without them, you aren't going to be prepared.

At least we don't have to watch Kelly anymore. Martin in. Why didn't he start?

The last thing JR wants to do is sell to someone that will immediately make his operation look deficient.

A base hit here would pretty much end the game.

You're going to love Joe Kelly.

Joe Kelly almost certainly won't blow a lead tonight.

LMAO

Iowa Hawkeye. For the Hawks, he was fast Was also a pretty nice returner.

Is there any way you can platoon him a different way? He's great at home, and a slow Leury Garcia who plays RF like Paul Konerko would on the road. Only have him on the roster for home games.

Whatever it is, the team and/or Tony don't want anyone to know. Joe Kelly left with lightheadedness, Yaz left with knee discomfort, Eloy left with hamstring discomfort. Ta left with goin discomfort. Tony leaves with a medical issue. They don't even tell the players. It' has to be something fairly serious.

That is weird, and like was stated above if it was a stroke or heart attack they aren't putting him on a plane I'm guessing he probably was examined and the results came back before the game. Another twist was Dave Stewart was visiting him for some reason

I hope it isn't cancer. That is one thing where Tony would probably want to see "his" doctors. I would imagine the Sox get top medical experts.

The way it was phrased, I don't think it was Covid, and I don't know why they would have him at the park and then leave if it was something planned. My guess is he either had some chest pains and they were checking on a possible heart attack or perhaps he had symptoms of a stroke. The press release makes it sound like they didn't expect him back any time soon. Hopefully never, but if something is wrong, I do hope he recovers.

Actually I suggested what you are suggesting several months ago. Tony walks around with one shoulder really slouching. I said use any physical excuse and give Cairo a look. Either the team takes off so you bring him back ot its more of the same and you won't make the mistake of Cairo in 2023.

Or a wine tasting event.

The weird part about this is he participated in the pre game including meeting with some press without a hint something could be wrong. I don't like him, but hopefully OK.

It's next to impossible to hit HRs the other way to RF at GRF.
