Maybe keeping things simple and not THINKING/ANALYZING things too much is actually what works best for him. I don't think most were expecting a mid 800's OPS. Hoping. But not expecting, exactly.

Vasquez looking for his first major league win in only his second start...

Or the Red Sox to keep them competitive...as they're in last place with a .500ish record.

Like Gary Sanchez? Well, I guess Seby's two great games per season and better defense would block that. At any rate, Clevinger's at a 4.15 ERA and that's pretty much what most would have expected. Solid 4/5 guy, no longer TOR. Worth $12-13 million? Depends on your payroll.

Just going to have to look at this as "house money" with the likelihood of a sweep on the road or not giving up one run in Graveman's inning not exactly the best of bets in LV.

Well, that turned fast...

https://www.mlb.com/news/elly-de-la-cruz-statcast-feats Might need a separate Elly de la Cruz thread...good god some of those numbers are absolutely unreal. Kind of a cross between O'Neil Cruz and Tatis Jr. Truest of all five tool players in baseball, majors or minors.

Not with that contract and his health history. Look at deGrom and K.Rocker with the Rangers both being out into 2025 season with TJS.

That's just not going to happen...for about ten different reasons.

One game behind the Guardians... percentage points ahead of the Tigers. And Detroit is at Philly. CLE hosting Boston.

That's the most shocking part... at home, no less. Like Keith Law suddenly praising the Sox in every single article.

That one that was like a frame by frame advancement made it seem a lot closer than the original replay.

31-24 "run"

Two miracles.

Uh oh.

Wow... escaped that inning somehow. 3 games back miraculously.

Sigh. Let's not have a Stanton GS.

Thankfully Torres can't bunt.

Sigh. Let the pressure get to him.

Haha. First time in ages that thread title etiquette was actually important.

With Reyno, it's the 4 walks in his last five appearances. Looks like they're going to Graveman over Hendriks. Interesting.

Maybe the worm is turning. Reynaldo ight even get his confidence back out of the closer's role. And never in a million years thought don't trade Joe Kelly would be a legit thing.

Why not Graveman here? Or Hendriks? You have to win this game.

Romy needs to at least be in that .675 ops range to retain his starting job. And it's not like they are going to bench TA for Andrus...

Five losses in a row. Rays definitely helped put Sox and Twins into tailspins...
