Good thing we decided to make these trades today. Otherwise I'd be fuming at us throwing this game away.

Probably done. We really didn't give up much for Tepera and Hernandez. Technically we can probably get a bigger deal done, but we patched 2 holes with 2 decent players. I'm whelmed.

Future Sox has crashed with the news of this.

Marshall might be headed for TJS.

Guess it's not Lopez if it's a minor league pitcher.

Carlos got up to 97.

So Portillo's was right after all I guess lmao.

Good lord Carlos...Nicky Lopez almost took you deep.

What a waste of a start by Rodon. Should have just skipped him and pitched him on Sunday.

Rodon is batting practice right now.

You don't throw Perez or Soler fastballs in the zone. Both will swing at shit out of the zone.

I know it's hot, but Carlos just doesn't look right.

lmao at that throw. Carlos falling behind with bad fastball location and 92-93. This isn't gonna go well.

For real. If you're gonna put this lineup out there today you might as well do a bullpen day or call someone up from AAA.

Hit hard but not hard enough.

It sounds like Carlos may be on a pitch count today. Based on what TLR said about Lopez being the long man out of the bullpen.

First base runner in the first since the Minnesota series.

lmao this guy walks a bunch of guys and Leury swings at the first pitch and pops up in foul territory.

The lower BABIP might be because he's hitting more fly balls. It's also why he's got a career high in homers.

Rodriguez scares the crap out of me. His spin rates are down quite a bit after the sticky ban and he throws his fastball 87% of the time and has poor velocity for a high leverage reliever. He's a huge regression candidate and it's already starting to show.

Maybe TLR has him on his fantasy team and needs 2B eligibility.

What's interesting is that Engel is playing a day game after a night game. Maybe the restrictions are off on him?

They always seem to give him the most outrageous defense. Remember when Vaughn played 3B cause Yoan got hurt during his start against Minnesota?

I guess they can put TA in for defense if they really need it in the late innings. Better hope Carlos just strikes out 27 guys today lol.

They might also give up 10 if they Royals just hit everything to 2B.
