JUSTgottaBELIEVE

Nah. There’s little to no advantage to winning the division this season. The Sox have a better road than home record too.

Why is this a HUGE game? The Sox are basically already a lock for the playoffs barring an epic collapse this month.

Is it though?

Mazara played that terribly

Unbelievable defensively but his bat leaves much to be desired.

It’s not like Donaldson and Garver were setting the world on fire before they got hurt

This Twins offense suddenly looks pretty ordinary. Quite the turn of events from 6 weeks ago and the 2019 season.

Great feed by Yolmer and lightening quick turn by Madrigal

Problem is he’s on the wrong side of 30

Well, he’s not getting any younger

Last weekend Ricky started Grandal at catcher for a day game after he caught a 4 hour game the night before. Nothing like keeping Grandal fresh. Not surprisingly, Grandal had a brutal game (Saturday I believe it was).

For sure but that post would have been mocked and laughed at just a couple weeks ago...

The fact that this post did not receive multiple critical posts in response tells me that the fan base is starting to come around on the McCann/Grandal debate.

He looked really bad. Like his career is basically done bad.

Why is this so complicated? Force out at second, everyone else is safe.

Me too. Just fearful of what we give up.

They are one injury away from being in really bad shape

Considering Clevinger was no longer wanted around the team, I’d say it improves them for this season.

Quantrill has been very good this year and he’s younger with much more team control than Clevinger.

Great trade for the Indians and even more so knowing that they had no leverage (everyone knew they were dumping Clevinger). Plesac next?

Yep

I’m with you. This is a great trade for the Indians.

How so?

I like it personally. Last winter I suggested the Sox consider doing the same with Giolito if they don’t think they can extend him but only if they get a haul in return. This looks like a haul for the Indians for 2+ Years of Clevinger.

That organization is something. Tied for first place and somehow don’t lose much this year while also improving significantly in future years.
