lmao I was kind of thinking that too. I don't think I've ever seen a 5:10 start on a week night.

We could have had Ozuna on a fair deal this past off-season, but now he's probably gonna command a big contract after the year he just had. But it all depends on how COVID affects the free agent market.

I think they were deceiving last year. But his peripherals and hit data were much better this year. His exit velos and hard hit % improved dramatically. He doesn't strike out a bunch of guys, but he does induce weak contact.

Garcia will get his option picked up. Maybe you can give Colome a QO, but I think he'll get a big contract from another team given just how good he was this year.

Where are you going to play Hernandez? He's almost one of those guys that you sign just so he can't hurt you anymore.

We're 100% getting Joc Pederson. He probably won't cost a whole lot either because he had a terrible year.

I'm hoping for playoff expansion. Not 8 teams, but 6-7 probably means the Sox will be playing in October for many years to come.

I'd be fine with Quintana, but we need more than just him. Stroman is friends with TA so maybe we can get him. He's not going to be overly expensive, but we'll probably have to give him more money than Keuchel.

Fiers gets to exact revenge. Although with the way he pitched today, the Astros might blast him for 8 runs.

Cease was a ticking time bomb. Although I didn't think he could start walking MORE people. I just thought he'd stop getting so lucky with balls in play. Dunning just ran out of gas. His stuff is also not good to the point where advanced scouting wouldn't catch up to him.

It sucks that Clevinger and Lamet got hurt for the Padres, but given the shit Preller has pulled off with medicals, it seems like karma.

Yup that was idiotic. Why waste your best left handed reliever after your 2nd best left handed reliever just got hurt? Just baffling. Also, I'd much rather have your lower end bullpen guys get the earlier innings. If they allow a run or two, you still have time to come back. If you go into the 7th with a lead and have to throw Jace Fry or Dylan Cease, that'd be catastrophic.

Are they trying to say Grandal sucks at calling games? There's no way they were going to let Grandal sit after his first 2 games. Maybe blame RR and Eloy for overestimating where his foot injury was. Because he was clearly not ready to play.

Could be worse...like losing 18 straight playoff games.

I'm not sure why we didn't shift on him this series. All his hits were right up the middle.

It's crazy to think the Canha single in the first inning would fuck us.

We had plenty of opportunities this series. We just couldn't come up with the big hit when it really mattered. The fact that we got only 1 run off Fiers probably lost us the game today. Cause he and Petit were the only guys we actually looked good against.

Loss is on everyone on the team today. We beat ourselves.

The Cleveland and Cubs series took any enthusiasm I really had about this team. After that Minnesota series, I was thinking we'd have a real shot at making the ALCS.

lol they both throw cutters, that's about the only similarity.

Jesus Christ...now Colome's hurt.

He also didn't really hustle down the line. Looks like the air just went out of the balloon.

Terrible AB by Jose. Chased a pitch that would have guaranteed him a hittable pitch on 3-1. Then he had to protect and ended up chasing a pitch into a DP.

Dude threw 2.2 innings yesterday and still pitched well today. Props.

He's been awful in the postseason. Hopefully it continues.
