Wouldn't that mean they at least took out the Cubs?

What did he say?

Dinner reservations in jeopardy?

Sigh...wasted all that time arguing about the foul ball. Now Brebbia might not be able to close it out if he sits around too long.

Ramos already almost caused a disaster there...

Brebbia or Kopech? Heart of the lineup…

Lee was 0/16 in his career with two outs and RISP prior to that at-bat.

Team MVP/Sox All-Star Korey Lee, lol…

He has a lot of eyeglass company promotions on the subways in Japan…

Kasper basically arguing everyone in the ballpark knew Fedde was struggling so much today with his control…should have given a new reliever a clean inning after the 5th.

Grifol is going to make a dumb argument about holding Hill for Burleson when Arenado was the key out from the very beginning…

That’s arguably Pham now.

Arenado has been hot. And the Cards’ major advantage is their bullpen. We have seen this particular show before. And there goes the lead…nice job Grifol.

Hill warming doesn't exactly bode well.

Sounds like something out of "Midnight with the Devil."

Fedde and Crochet came into today sporting equal 0.6 fWARs...

India is just getting older and more (arbitration years) expensive…hardly could argue that he would fit with an extended timeline. Not to mention you’re trying to fit Ramos Montgomery and Gonzalez into that future infield.

Montgomery would have to go a massive tear to be hitting that well in 30 days after his slow start…what’s the rush, exactly? If he was a more polished collegian from a P5 conference, then it would be more justifiable. Right now, it’s more fan service.

The only reason to recall Montgomery is if his OPS is 900+. Right now, he’s not even an average AAA hitter…and he still needs to improve defensively. The last thing they want to do is have his struggles on that side of the game affect his trying to hold his own offensively…everyone around baseball thought Holliday was going to set the world on fire and he couldn’t even stick, as advanced as his game looked on paper.

This might be the dumbest decision of the season so far. Yes, the bar isn’t very high…but wasn’t the entire point of this season to protect all the prospects at AA and below from being overexposed? It’s not like Ramos is going to sell more than a handful of tickets being up. Montgomery Quero Ramos and Zavala are supposed to be cornerstones for the next .500 Sox team. If they’re going to burn a prospect, let it be a much lesser one in Baldwin who has been hot for weeks and weeks to start the season.

If they manage to mess up Montgomery Quero Ramos and Zavala...it might take another 3-4 years to even reach the level of "average to slightly above average" major league offense.

Why wouldn't they just bring back Remillard? He hasn't been?down long enough? Isn't there a roster exemption for injuries? The guy (Ramos) just gets his confidence back in AA and then suddenly you're going to throw him to the wolves? Seems a bit short-sighted, at best.

Meanwhile, the Twins have now won 11 consecutive, up to 5 games over .500 and closing in on CLE and KC.
