I'd argue the only time they didn't was when KC won something like 8 in a row and took 2 out of 3 from them.

This game might already be over lol

Luis was trying to play tic tac toe. Almost had the diagonal.

There's a pretty good chance he finishes as a finalist for AL MVP. He's 3rd in the AL in fWAR behind Yordan and Witt. Witt probably won't get enough votes because he got hurt for 2 weeks. It'll probably be Yordan by a mile and then Caminero and Vargas.

People conflate him painting his nails to being soft. This guy played the PAC 12 championship on a grade 2 hamstring strain.

Probably because it's easy to overlook defense at 2B. Plus Chase alternates between looking really good and terrible at the plate a lot. It all adds up to being a really good player, but it certainly doesn't feel like it at times.

Which is incredibly stupid. He didn't know at the time how serious it was. You're telling me that you can feel what grade of hamstring tear you got? Bullshit.

Caleb's hamstring injury isn't major and the team hasn't ruled him out for MNF.

Lynch has been pitching better, but he hasn't been real good as a starter. Lugo and Dobnak have been awful in their recent starts.

Apparently Cairo also started his kick on the blocked FG really late. The whole team played like s%*# today. Every unit sucked. Surprisingly the defense actually played the best out of the 3.

140 to 178 is a pretty normal increase. Tolle's never thrown more than 108 before. He's already at 158 this year between the minors and majors. Maybe this will be his last regular season start. Hopefully they let him go at least 5.

They'll probably want to limit Tolle on Tuesday since he's never pitched close to 150 innings before in his career.

Dobnak is a righty

It's actually 3 at the moment because the Jays have the tiebreaker over the Astros. It can get complicated if it ends up being a 3 way tie where the Astros would end up winning the tiebreaker on aggregate head to head record.

The problem was that Sandlin imploded so quickly and gave up 3 runs in 4 hitters.

Here is an interesting stat: The Sox have won their last 8 games before an off-day. This dates back to June 24th. The bad news: They are 2-5 in the games after the off-day in that same span.

FanGraphs has the Sox at 95.7%.

Boston could technically still end up with the last wild card spot right? I wonder if they'll try to get out of playing the Yankees. They would easily be the best team on the 2 vs 3 side of the bracket in the AL.

I'm not gonna complain about winning 3 of 4, but it easily could have been a sweep. The bullpen imploding Friday night really sucks. But good to see the guys bounce back these past 2 games.

Go 4-2 next week and we guarantee ourselves a play off spot.

It's the same conundrum as taking out Martin today. The new guy you bring in might walk everyone. Which is what Hagen did today and what Newcomb did in Cleveland. There was really no good reason to take Hagen out in Cleveland unless he was on some kind of strict pitch count.

That's a pretty big difference in ERA and FIP and I think his xFIP is around 4.5. He definitely overachieved quite a bit this year. Doesn't mean he hasn't been valuable (he has), we just shouldn't expect this to carry over to next year if we bring him back.

Have they? His FIP is like a full run above his ERA cause he gives up homers.

We just blew a 6 run lead to these guys on Friday. We still have way too many innings to cover to test and see if Brazoban no longer sucks.

Martin was throwing 98?
