It makes no sense for them to keep Bard. He's not getting a QO so they aren't getting draft picks out of it.

Are you trying to say that Giolito has the autoimmune disease Lupus?

And they ended up with Simmons.

I never said it was a good idea, but just an idea that Hahn might think would work.

Play him at 2B?

I don't think any Sox fans would. I like Happ, but with what Colas has done since his AA promotion, he's probably off the table unless the trade is for Reynolds. Happ is a nice player, but I don't think he moves the needle enough to warrant trading Colas.

Gallo is gonna piss people off simply because he's gonna remind Sox fans of Adam Dunn. Pollock may be bad this year. He's got a 80 wRC+ and -0.2 WAR. But his WPA is actually positive and among players with 250+ PA he has the 2nd highest clutch rating in all of baseball this year. Gallo seems like a strike out waiting to happen whenever you need him to come up with a big hit.

They called Sosa up from AA. So it's possible. Colas already played a little bit in the NPB back in 2019. He's 23. AA might be too easy for him.

Doesn't look like they gave up a whole lot.

Fuck the Twins. I don't like Cleveland but I can respect them. I hate the Twins and I don't respect them.

We've managed to run into a triple play on a fly ball and get picked off third base on a walk. Two things I've never seen before in my 20+ years watching baseball.

I'm not sure how Kelly said he wouldn't miss any time, but this issue he had earlier in the year literally cost him a month.

Robert walked off Chapman. Leury walked off the Twins. Harrison walked off the Jays.

He also said he has to take some kind of altitude sickness medication and that makes his fingers and toes go numb. Not great when you're a pitcher.

You must not have seen Leury getting picked off 3rd base after a walk.

I really thought we didn't have a shot at winning this one after Lucas gave up a 3 spot in the first. I thought they'd split this series anyways so whatever. But then they actually come back...only to have the bullpen basically give the game away on a silver platter. The lone hit the Rockies had that inning was barely a hit. This team just knows how to claw your heart out.

Matt Foster did better lol

I've been saying this for a while. If you throw it to him in the air, he'll catch it. But if it hops, good fucking luck.

Lambert hung the only pitch he threw and we were lucky Cron didn't hit that ball 450 feet.

Also fuck that HP ump for squeezing Graveman, especially on the first pitch to Iglesias. I can understand him not calling the back up slider to Rogers. But the call against Iglesias felt malicious.

What the hell was with the pitch sequencing that whole inning? Why are we calling for sliders for the first 2 pitches in the count? The Rockies basically had no plan to swing at anything after the first walk.

This team just can't get away from .500.

Yeah we deserved that.

Graveman looks hurt out there.
