Doubt it.

It was stupid to pull Kershaw. He wasn't gonna hurt himself on the 81st pitch. Just another case of analytics prevailing over baseball sense. Too bad Kershaw didn't have the balls to tell it like it is. I was watching PTI yesterday, and they reported on a Japanese pitcher who was pulled after 102 pitches with a perfecto brewing, one game after he pitched a real perfect game. IOW, two in a row was looming.

Excessive analytics is a disease.

Ramos' trade value could be a separate thread, but I wonder what Sox could get for him, not that I am recommending his trade.

Bullpen is not destroyed just because Severino gets a day off.

Severino proves that a 14 man pitching staff is unnecessary. If they are there, you have to use them. This is what happens.

Harrison has that stupid bat waggle that Gary Sheffield had. Gary got away with it. Harrison looks like a dope.

Severino is on Sox' Mt. Rushmore for lousy pitchers. Another tribute to Hahn.

Abreu saved about 2 dozen throwing errors by Moncada last year.

Yep, looks like he real deal.

Who is on the SoxTalk Mt. Rushmore?

They should play the old rant from Coach Herm Edwards. "You play to win the game."

I'm convinced. Good post.

Previous post was sarcasm.

Lots of Manager decisions coming.

I'd rather have Micker on the roster than Foster.

It still blows my mind that we keep guys like Ruiz, who has proven he can't get big league hitters out, on the roster while cutting Micker. Do we really need 14 pitchers on the staff?

I couldn't find his Japan stats. Probably in here somewhere. My sixth sense, which is usually wrong, tells me that Oscar will tear apart High A.

You can use the same excuse for Sousa and Henzman. No excuse for Moncada to look this bad.

Still laughing. That was one funny episode.

You're assuming they will be a contender at the deadline. They might be sellers, not buyers.

I wonder if Dodgers offered Bellinger first.

I get him mixed up with Ruiz.

Max, you're right. So am I.

Funny.
