Ramirez better not see anything in the strike zone here

That was a ball but at the same time we've seen the outside corner called a strike all night.

He only has 2 strikeouts with 25 batters faced in the 2nd half. Wow. Maybe he'll figure it out but he definitely hasn't been dominant lately

If Goodwin has any of the pixie dust left in his bat now would be a good time to use it

2 balls hit above 100 MPH from Moncada is great to see. Hopefully he's about to heat it up.

This is the worst I can recall TA looking consistently since 2018

I've noticed that exact thing as well

TA and Moncada both miss the juiced ball big time

thanks for adding to the discourse

I think a lot of people on here undersold how difficult the Sox farm system made it to make deals, but they absolutely could have surpassed what the Giants gave up for Bryant. Particularly when, IMO, at least, they paid 110 cents on the dollar for Kimbrel.

You'd know better than just about anyone there's no guarantee none of those guys experience setbacks.

There's no reason to fear Abreu right now especially for a RHP

Another quality bat would have made such a difference

Brutal start but 2 runs shouldn't be insurmountable against one of the worst pitchers the Sox have faced all year

Without Bieber and Civale, honestly, yeah. They're a sub 500 talent level team without those 2 guys healthy

Especially when Kris freaking Bryant went for a price the Sox could have matched

Goodwin is such an atrocious defensive outfielder

Especially when everything that's come out on that deal said Tatis was crushing on the backfields, and the Sox dealing him was more about not realizing what they had then him suddenly blowing up after the trade was made. The Sox track record of internal scouting is far from impeccable.

Him being at 10 in the mid-season BA update was crazy. I'm glad the Sox were able to hang onto him. I think he's someone who will be on the top 100 radar at this time next year.

The Cubs can pick any 2 of the Kannapolis prospects they like best. Or Burger and one of Kannapolis pitchers. I'll say Thompson but if it was Kelley or no deal I'd still do it. Bryant is a legitimate AS caliber player and he's one of the most versatile players in the sport. With Eloy already banged up again I think another very good bat is sorely needed.

Dingers for both Lenyn Sosa & Yoelqui

TA has been in the IL 3 straight years with a hamstring injury. Moncada has played in more games than him in each of the last 3 years. Abreu and Vaughn right now are the only core position players who don't have some durability concerns going into next season.

Fairbanks and McHugh just went on the IL. Their bullpen actually isn't super deep for once. I'd think they have to be getting at least 1 reliever before the deadline passes.

The Rays are weird, man
