That was catchable. Kopech could have made a better throw, but Romy's gotta catch that.

Kopech's just not paying attention to Altuve.

Not a good start for Romy.

The arm side run on that fastball was crazy.

I'm beginning to think Kopech couldn't throw a strike to Altuve cause his strike zone is too small.

Kopech with no control to start the game. Great.

That was when the rule first got put in and they were calling catchers for blocking the plate when the base runner was half way down the line. Which made absolutely zero sense.

His stats looked way too good to be true in June when you took a look at his expected stats and exit velos. It eventually catches up with you. I'm sure Danny Mendick would have suffered a similar fate had he stayed healthy. Both of their batting averages were highly inflated and neither hit the ball very hard.

So the Twins and Guardians have both gotten screwed by the blocking the plate rule. When's it gonna happen to us?

I knew TA was kinda getting full of himself, but was it really that bad?

I'm sure in 10 days, TLR is gonna say Robert won't need to go on the IL

I gotta think part of the incompetence is on the training staff as well.

I think most vesting options just disappear when that player no longer plays for the team that is in ownership of the contract. Unless another team picks up the exact contract, it doesn't apply anymore.

Ok who put Kaskade in the banner?

The Braves are also a possibility but he'd have to play 2B and his playing time would be gone when Albies is back soon.

I wouldn't say that. Romy is up cause Leury's on the IL. Signing Andrus would allow the Sox to send Sosa back down to AAA for more consistent playing time. Romy can stick around as a utility guy until Leury is back.

So it took almost a week for them to admit that Leury was hurt badly enough to go on the IL?

I know, I'm just saying that Andrus being a Boras client and Heyman being a Boras mouthpiece gives that Tweet some merit.

Andrus is a Boras client btw. So Heyman tweeting this seems like Andrus is interested in coming here.

he gone predicted his release an hour before it was announced.

Tyler Mahle just exited his start in the 3rd inning.

Josh Harrison played with Andrus last year as a double play pairing. That should be a nice recruitment tool.

Do you go through waivers when you get released? I thought you only go through waivers if you get DFA'd.

Maybe Hahn will be seen asking Jake Diekman about this after a game.

Isn't Andrus one of KW's guys too?
