Reynaldo Lopez vs Trevor Williams https://mobile.twitter.com/whitesox/status/994217586282909696

Eloy walk, Zavala dinger

In exchange for bringing him up for Friday’s game, lock Eloy up for 10 years now on a team friendly deal. (Just kidding?)

Collins double too.

When I hear a guy hurts himself jumping off a back of truck or carrying luggage up the stairs, I just ignore it. It may or may not be true, and it doesn’t really matter unless you’re paying the guy.

First place team under .500.

Paxton will take no hitter to the 9th in Toronto.

Dylan Bundy faced 7 Royals. 2 walks, 5 hits- 4 homers.

If Adolfo has Tommy John in September, when is he ready to play again as an outfielder?

Mesoraco is active for the Mets and in uniform in Cincinnati tonight.

Funny deal. Glad that chapter is closed. Reds need a catcher?

Good. Can’t believe the Mets got that much, but not our problem.

https://mobile.twitter.com/NYPost_Mets/status/993960866231013376 Soooo Kevan Smith? Welington Castillo, but we get more back?

Happy he isn’t being called up yet...if it’s a done deal. I wouldn’t put it past them to put off an announcement as long as possible...say Thursday.

Ah, ok. I was late to the party here.

If Eloy was coming up, wouldn’t they just do it now? It’s gotta be about a pitcher.

Granted he ended up having a bad rookie season, but Brandon McCarthy debuted at Wrigley in May, 2005, and he didn’t do too badly. I’m hoping they wait until next year for both he and Jimenez and get the extra year for both, but it’s not happening.

Rosenthal says the Mets are confident they’ll trade him. I can’t imagine what teams are offering. If the Sox are offering anything, what? I can’t even guess it has to be so minimal.

Unlikely, but not ridiculous. If the Sox go 4-14 the next 18 before they’ve played one game against the Indians, I think they have it in them. .360 ball the rest of the season gets them at 56-106. There are three teams that could lose 100+ this year, and probably will.

I’m sure the Indians will have a great record, but I don’t think any team should be gifted a top-3 seed based on geography and having three rebuilding garbage teams in a 5-team division.

Nah. If the Sox have to rely on a bad division to make the playoffs, then just have a lower league like soccer, or whatever the hell they do.

I gave Renteria credit for having players that show up and try to win. He’s done a better job than Robin in that department. But the front office needs to be very careful about who they think can get this team over the top when the talent level is close to contention.

Just some of the comments made by Kopech about what he’s looking forward to in the next month, and also Hahn talking about him...and his season up until today...and the Sox need for quality innings. Maybe today’s start moves that back for now.
