Thank goodness for challenges

Some shitty luck man. 105 mph off the bat.

I'd be down for Kirby. He's been about a 2.0 fWAR starter for the last two years, with a potential upside in the 4 fWAR range (given what he did before 2025/2026). Don't know what he'd cost though.

It's a moot point anyway as once details leak like this the trade is dead. Wolkow is whatever to me. He'll probably flame out in AA. Boston Smith I'd be hesitant on though because he's got a chance to be at least a good backup catcher and I'd have trouble trading that for a rental of a guy who will probably give you 4th starter performance.

Wong thread

Man the Sox stole the s%*# Out of that one lmao. Dead to rights against one of the best pitchers in baseball and gave up 4 in the first

Yay

Whew. Man. Feels like a postseason game.

Damn it

Don’t go full

Going right after Peters

The Yankees pitchers apparently know how to get ground balls and ours don’t

Acuna is gonna get all sliders after that reaction

Hey look a fly ball. Amazing.

Way too antsy. Rough man. Had the game on a platter man.

They’re gonna blow this aren’t they

Nice job by Quero forcing that wild pitch

I assume a bunt here

Braden got aced there. Yeesh

Well that’s probably it.

Hey hey hey now

Sox need to start chipping away at this lead. Yeah it’s not ideal to immediately go down 4-0 but you’re not going to win many games if you only have one hit.

Yeah, I don't disagree, but I also don't know if the Sox can count on Teel at C full-time. The injuries this year are REALLY alarming. You might need more of a legit catcher platoon, with Teel also getting time at 1B/DH when Murakami gets a break. If Rutschman doesn't cost too much I'd at least consider it.

i don’t hate the idea, depending on the cost. Also let’s all hit up some Orioles message boards and absolutely lowball the s%*# out of them.
