Beck hit 98 on the gun Sunday. 98. Either I mis-heard, or it was mis-reported. I had no idea he threw that hard.

I'm gonna miss this thread next week. Really enjoyed it. You guys who contribute to it regularly --- thanks.

Commish should get involved...

Jimmy Lambert hurt?

Unfortunately, we don't have a crucial series with Baltimore until mid-September.

Because we gave up Tatis for him.

I cannot understand why he is still on the active roster.

I think Oprah should interview Heimlich publicly, ask the tough questions, and then we will all know more about the situation. Draft and interview.

Is it just me, or does it seem like there is a drop off after the top three?

Maybe Sox should get a competitive balance draft pick.

Please explain. Obviously, there are a lot of players bunched together, but I would like to read your thoughts.

Sox are starting to look like the early version of the Mets with Casey Stengel managing them. "Can't anyone play this game." Way too many defensive miscues. Even the announcers (ESPN's Sutcliffe) commented yesterday.

Tyler Saladino now starting SS for first place Brewers, hitting .340ish.

Too bad about Jimmy Lambert. Lights out for 6, then lost it in the 7th.

A) Riley Pint? He's done nothing. You don't trade Abreu for that. No way. B) Again, no way. Hoffman not even on the team. Rox need a bat like Abreu's in a big way, and they need to get rid of Desmond. They could use a set up guy like Nate Jones. Enter Hahn. Gotta have Rodgers, probably Dahl, etc.

Wow. Interesting stats.

I saw that both Yanks and Astros are interested. Yanks require a haircut. Should be interesting.

Hey, man, do you ever exaggerate?

"Literally" stuck?? Literally? Or metaphorically?

Why was it a double error on Tim? I thought the catcher dropped the ball.

Rox want someone to take Desmond off their hands.

Kopech and Jimenez are separate cases. Kopech probably should stay down. The other guy, not so much. Jimenez will probably progress a lot faster against major league competition. I say, kick him up to AAA now, and if he rakes for a week or two, bring him up. Unless you think Delmonico is better.

Also, Ned Garver for the Browns in early 50's.

Steve Carlton comes to mind. 1972, I believe.

Managers don't do that anymore. Might hurt his feelings. Sign of the times.
