I know for a fact he could have gotten another SP without touching Bonemer or Carlson.

100%

Yea, I guess it just didn’t click for me because it was so obviously nothing intentional whatsoever. In 99/100 situations like this - the pitcher was clearly throwing or there was some existing drama which lead to the dude getting plunked and benches clearing. Here Davis was showing no command because of a blister. I’m still shocked they tossed him. Fucking bullshit. May it work in our advantage by some odd way. 😬

He got not just tossed but suspended too? Fucking retarded umpiring crew that series.

Word. That all but squashes the Urquidy rumors for me.

Looks like he’s listed on mlb.com - which I trust WAY more than CBS Sports. Though, the Urquidy spotting there is odd. Really makes me think we’ll see an official transaction / announcement soon.

If we get first half Martin back it will be the biggest contributing factor possible. Would be MASSIVE.

Huh - odd, other publications have Urquidy listed as the starter. Maybe he’s the long man and Newcomb is opening?

Very encouraging. I had written him off for the year, primarily.

Looks like Shane Smith and Drew Thorpe both had promising lines in their last starts today and yesterday. Maybe we weren’t failed and the answers are already within after all. Apparently Urquidy is first man up. Will be very interesting to see how that experiment goes.

MLB has TBD listed. Apparently, CBS has Urquidy listed. 😲 Let’s see if the two time TJ recoveries can be overcome and we are able to give him one last ride.

Oh shite - if true hopefully our defense shines and he keeps the tigers tamed in the park. We’re at least on tap to see lots of strikes! Queue up the “Hold Onto Your Butt” memes.

Gotta think that performance went a long way with the “brain trust”.

I missed the blister news… haven’t been able to give the Sox much attention the past couple days. That’s good news as far as I’m concerned… finally an explanation that isn’t hot air. And yea - makes sense with potential restrictions but you have to think there HAD to be at least one more arm we could have brought in. Edit: Like Foster Griffin - I don’t recall what the Indians had to give up for him but his 5 IP 1 ER line against Detroit sure looks nice right about now. At least we have good old TBD throwing tomorrow followed by Kay and Burke.

Bold prediction which may not be so bold… Davis will be shut down with a phantom injury and Thorpe will make his return in his place on 8/18 against the Cubs. We have to production down the stretch and in the playoffs from what had been our Number 1 spot in the rotation for the first half. This has been a black hole taxing our entire team. Of all our challenges and areas to improve, this is just too glaring to remain stagnant. There is a reason most of the entirety of Soxtalk wanted Getz to get us two starting pitchers. He failed us as fans and failed this team. What say you… anybody got something?

Fucking lame. Take the Tigers series and I’ll be happy.

SUCH FUCKING HORSESHIT! Gotta make a positive out of it and Fedde needs to put up zeros for 5 or 6. Prove he can take Davis’s spot.

WE HAVE LIFE!!!!!

Was Davis put up O’s until the 7th. Gets one more try with an opener.

I really think he’s trying to pitch through some sort of minor injury. Fucking hope they / he aren’t that stupid but I wouldn’t be shocked.

Two homers. Two outs. I’m seeing a pattern. Martin is toast. It’s offical. Almost as if a metric s%*# ton of folks wanting a second SP at the deadline was for good reason(s).

The game already started??? What the f***. Thought it started in another hour.

Yup. Different situation. You generally get a two hour window / buffer. If it’s near that… fair game. Importantly: LFG SOX!!! Win series. All series for the rest of the year. That’s all I ask! 😆

Alright - where’s the putz who said Castillo was gonna give up the equivalent of a 7 ERA today in his start? Take the series tomorrow and then go roll on the tigers. LFG.

WIN THIS FUCKING SERIES!!!!!
