Holy f*** Gonzalesz is slow

Ball four, base ht

Gonzalez is doing something here

Yes, he posted about some Nike’s on his Al Cheesy’s Beef account that proved he was Orlando.

That arm is going to be huge wepaon

This dude literally comes onto Soxtalk, steals specific posts & ideas, and then regurgitates them on social media. Pretty sure this is @Orlando

f*** yes!!!!!

Need more ball tickling boys!

Need another Vargas bomb here

need a double play here

Acuna scoops and turns that s%*#

At least we racked up the pitch count. Would love to crack into that Royals pen by the 5th.

f***

Ball four, base hit

Make this fucker pay!

Ron should be banned for this s%*#. If we lose, the L falls straight on him.

What is this from?

Acquiring rentals will have no impact on next year.

This is great news. Now we just need an update on the TJS guys. Still blown away at how bad rehab has gone for those guys so far. I was really hopeful that Thorpe, Bush, & Berroa could have been part of the 2H mix, but it’s looking more & more likely we may two whole seasons from them, at least from a major league roster perspective.

What is the recovery time from a concussion? Feel like in the NFL guys miss one or two weeks max. I can’t imagine he’s too far off, although candidly I didn’t see the play and don’t know bad it was.

His FIP & xERA are significantly higher, but reasonable for a #5. I just don’t think he’s ever going to give you a lot of innings and is benefiting from the use of an opener. And both of those factors hurt a very short bullpen.

Jerry doesn’t have much time left. He’ll push the profit from better than expected attendance back into the team. I just hope the Red Sox want to dump Gray for cash savings instead of prospects.

Interesting wrinkle in the Sonny Gray sweepstakes. He has a full No Trade clause but has expressed an openness to potentially forgoe it. Location is key to him apparently and that could give certain clubs an advantage. He’s based in Nashville, which is a very short flight from Chicago. Outside of the Braves, we may have a geographic edge over most other competitors. And when you combine his NTC and his financial obligations, his market & cost might be much smaller than one thinks. He’s also ineligible for a qualifying offer, so the Red Sox will be motivated to move him. He may not be the sexiest option, but if the price is right, he could be the ideal bridge to a more impactful free agent SP next offseason. Getz needs to make this happen!
