Maybe he went there to tell Kopech and Jimenez to their faces they aren’t coming up until next April. Probably not, but you never know. Whatever they’re going to do is probably a done deal, so I hope they make the right decision and won’t regret it in 2024 or whenever.

Also add the first two weeks of next season that starts in late March again. Playing in 45 degree weather isn’t exactly ideal for getting quality innings/at bats.

Approximately 68 Sox games without Kopech and Jimenez left before they start 15 year careers, hopefully. It’s an easy call. You wait.

Mike Petriello. Can’t stand that guy. Not even kidding- if you start a game, you can’t pitch for three days after, including postseason...unless a game goes into extra innings.

Renteria overreacted in this case. Choose your battles, dude.

...and 27 pitches in the 3rd inning.

Sale said he isn’t worried about it, and could pitch if he had to. This is just a 10-day DL thing. Just getting a reset for his final 9 starts before October.

Padres lost again today. Boo.

Kopech 2 innings, gave up a solo homer, but only 19 pitches.

Sounds mostly precautionary. 10-day DL is a treasure for teams in the Red Sox position right now.

I do feel like 3-3:30 will have a few late announcements. Tons of deals are being discussed. There will be a few stragglers that could include the Sox.

The tremor before the big one in 10 minutes. (yeah, probably not)

Ok, what’s more likely? Him understanding the situation the team is in right now and wanting to maximize his time in the winning years or him holding a grudge? To me, it’s more likely he’ll understand- and the team will reward him later on for that.

If his relationship with the club is irreparably harmed because they made him play fewer than 130 AAA games at age 21-22, then his agent and players association are doing a bad job explaining how things work. He’ll get over it.

Agreed. Eloy and Kopech should be up April 12, 2019...which should be the first game of the 5th series. No apologies or excuses needed. Just wait until you get the extra year.

Padres had a chance to win last night, but blew a squeeze bunt. They’re losing a lot lately, and have a tough remaining schedule. Hopefully the Sox finish no better than 61-101, and it’s enough for the third pick. Duffy beating the Sox tonight wouldn’t suck.

HOF homers tonight

No Madrigal in game 2.

Ha, that’s why I was paying attention.

Curbelo walk off grand slam in game 1.

He was going to start against the Sox on Saturday.

Yep, corrected myself

Walker came out after one at bat in which he popped up. (actually he also got hit by a pitch to lead off- figures)
