It was a tongue in cheek comment. I wasn't being fully serious. But there were plenty of people on here that said he was a waste of money, terrible allocation of resources, stuff looked bad, couldn't pitch in the Cell, etc., etc.. $13.5M AAV was never a poor use of resources for an elite closer. Imagine how things would looks right now with Heuer, Bummer or (god forbid) Colome as the closer. All of those guys have been somewhere between terrible and underwhelming so far this year. The Sox made the right call. The people that bitched about overpaying for Hendriks are the same people about the Sox being cheap and never signing anyone. Can't have it both ways.

I thought Soxtalk said this guy sucked?

I am going to Cleveland for that series. Super bummed they're making it a split doubleheader. Would have been great to get a bonus game, instead my 9 inning game turns into a 7 inning little league game. Lame.

I hope Eloy has been staying in shape. A tad worried about that.

If you're gonna catch Collins again, I would have DH'd Grandal and put Yermin on the pine pony, where he currently belongs.

Not really. Leury has plenty of use on this team if he's not overused. He's been overused all season because we don't really have any other OF options. You don't just punt depth if you don't have to.

I'd like to see Yermin get a day or two. Dude has been pretty brutal lately.

At this point, Lamb serves a purpose. I think the obvious answer to this question is Mendick.

No AAA game yesterday. I think if Engel was deemed ready, he would have flown to Cleveland Sunday night. I don't expect to see him today, but hope I am wrong.

Is this a split or straight double header?

Is tomorrow a straight or split DH?

Truly. TLR is the worst. And of course Nicky makes it happen! Love him.

Wtf let him hit

Because Mendick is probably a better 3B.

I hope they play, but I am expecting a DH tomorrow. At least they got yesterday in - didn't turn out to be all that bad.

Are teams allowed to use the bereavement list in this way? Basically as just a 3 day IL? Me thinks something actually happened that he needs to attend to or teams would be doing this all the time.

Is he bereaving his pulled hammy?

When the 2 week rehab assignment ends, you either need to add Fry to your MLB roster or option him to AAA. So not necessarily.

There is no way they’re calling Friday nights game on Thursday morning.

I don't think they'd do that. The Twins just took a trip the Anaheim to play the Angels for a single day double header that got COVID'd out earlier this year. My guess is the Sox will do everything in their power to get at least 1 of the games in the next two days, and do a DH on Sat if needed.

Wooooof. He fell a ways.

That would be back to back to back double headers Sat-Mon.

But yeah, looks like this one probably turns into a DH tomorrow. Which sucks.

Hopefully if there is a roster move today, it involved Eaton and not Kopech.

This was a tough one.
