I like him a lot. I think he's got a better shot to be a solid mid-rotation starter than Cease. Cease being totally unable to strike anyone out is really concerning me.

I think Grandal catching would've led to a strikeout of the first hitter instead of a basehit.

Two games to forget defensively for Grandal.

Except they signed Grandal and Keuchel last offseason (and almost signed Grandal and Wheeler) which is about as direct a comparison as you can get. I think its definitely possible.

If the offseason consists of signing Bauer and Springer I'm incredibly happy, though I don't know how Bauer would like playing with two former Astros. I'd prefer this to the trade route except for the bullpen where hopefully we can trade some spare parts/blocked players for bullpen help.

Welp. Grandal needs a day off.

Pirates are playing better lately. Sox flat as hell tonight. Can’t win them all.

Marshall absolutely falling apart

Sox looking a little off tonight

Thought Mazara might have that one but nope weak flyout.

Musgrove is looking pretty good

Musgrove has the breaking stuff working

I didn’t think there was any way that ball would be caught until it was in the glove. Unreal catch.

Just strike out the side whatever no big

Bubic uhhhhhh not so good

I'll keep sayin it if it means a run!

Tim with some rough swings on balls way out of the zone

Nice quick inning

For a split second I saw that going down the RF line. Whew.

Gettin real sick of Colome burying his cutter in the dirt.

Colome doesn't have it tonight

Whew!

He keeps going 1-0 he's gonna get burned bad.

Colome's control man.

Heuer looking good. Only like 10 pitches too. I'd let him start next inning and see how far he can get. Bullpen needs it.
