Yolmer is gonna get the 7th at this rate.

lol @ literally every ball in play going to Laureano. Hope they don't mic our guys up, haha

Had the same thought when the ball landed. Canha got it in quick

He would have been toast. Relay began the moment he pivoted.

yes

Wait wat

This team can score 5+ runs easily, and they are too young to get precious about the moment, which is good. But Keuchel needs to gtfo right now.

Sometimes her analysis is really poignant, actually -- like with her talking about Giolito's transformation yesterday. You can tell when she doesn't actually know anything about the player she's talking about when she starts to resort to hyperbole -- like how Leury Garcia "doesn't need timing to be succesful" and how Bassit just threw "the best tailing change-up I've ever seen".

lmao at what Mendoza is saying right now.

Tough play; shoulda made it.

Great stop by TA

You know what, greg? Touché

Even those of us who were in support of this extension (myself included) did not see this type of year coming. Even Jerry Reinsdorf did not see this type of year coming.

The post-game show has not yet been cancelled.

I am coming back from the dead to say: I cannot fucking believe what is happening here.

This is one of the dumbest posts I've seen on the whole internet.

Was on a plane so I missed the break, but wow. This is fantastic news. I think Moncada is going to be streaky his entire career, but the tools are so loud and he’s willing enough to adjust that the average production will make this a steal.

Yeah I'm with you there.

Yeah it's hard for me to buy that one. If the Sox are maxed out at this point, there's no hope.

*shrug* not by the end, no. It doesn't matter. The highest guaranteed money Bummer gets is $5m in the last year. This won't stop them from doing anything.

I would say the Nate Jones deal was a complete disaster and I don't think it stopped them from doing anything. When they're this cheap, it's hard to see much downside.

Weird thread

Sounds like SoftBank is exercising whatever rights it has to either keep him on their team, or, at the very least, negotiate some sort of compensation for his release. It's difficult to tell how much leverage they have with respect to the former, since it seems that Colas is currently physically missing and has probably fled the country, but my guess is that this is more of a message to MLB teams saying, "hey, this guy is under contract with us, and we are asking that you respect that, as opposed to simply signing this guy as if we don't even exist."

What an insane take based on that picture lol.
