Watch Luis Robert come back to haunt us.

And, Vaughn had a start at third.

Valencia looks like a really good player for Detroit.

Hicks looks great.

Colson closing in on Mr. Mendoza, but he won;t get there.

No.

overmanaging

Ya, bur he only starts half the games.

Martin and Fedde have a dual trend of not getting anybody out, so he puts them back to back for a quick 8 runs. He took Martin out because he was ejected. Fedde was floundering immediately. Game lost. I blame the Manager.

The glaring question is the Manager, who leaves them in too long.

Probably some validity about tipping pitches, but there were some lousy pitches by Taylor, particularly on the walk proceeding the game tying single.

Ya, it was a Team loss. Lots of contributors, starting with the Manager, ending with the closer.

Venable, Hudson, Taylor all contributed to the loss. Taylor had a chance to get out of the inning with 1 run scored and coughed it up. Offense went to sleep early and never woke up. Burke get screwed again.

finally got an out

But he (Hagen Smith) is rated much higher than Boston Smith would have been if Sox had kept him. I don't get it.

In what, 24 hours or so, Getz traded Vielma and Smith. Gotta get rid of those guys who can hit.

Where would Vielma be if we didn't trade him for Doyle? But, I agree with your thesis.

15 is way too low. Just look at the prospects you value more than Boston Smith. And you called me and others insane. The trade was insane.

Yep.

What's his WRC+ now?

Kimbrel just signed with KC. someone splain this to me.

Has anyone here actually seen Boston Smith play defense? I have not. You get a bat like that, you keep it. He minds me of Mike Piazza in his early stages. Now he's in the Hall. He might be a little rough around the edges on defense. So what? Mariners got what they wanted. For us, it's a stupid trade.

He was wrong on this one,

I read where Sox were down on him cuz he didn't hit enough doubles. Prob somewhere on Soxtalk.

If Ozzie gives a speech, it might be another hour.
