With you 100%. Leury hitting the IL added some clarity there. At the time, and after the Zavala at bat, I definitely thought it would have been Leury batting. Turns out, TLR was down to Collins vs. LHP or Zavala vs. RHP in that spot. Not a spot anyone should envy. Also thought Goodwin taking that at bat in the 10th was bizarre - figured they were holding Leury for Zavala spot. Goodwin worked the easy walk so it worked out, but was interesting decision. Again, Leury (and Engel) not being available makes that sequence of decisions make a lot more sense. Hands were basically tied.

Adds some clarity as to why we didn’t see Leury hit for Collins in the 10th last night.

Let’s win this one.

Guess Leury may not have been available. So makes more sense now. TLR had 2 terrible options there between Collins and Seby.

You are absolutely correct. The name misspellings tilted me this morning such that I read something else.

Who is Jeff Peavey?

I would have taken my chances with Leury in that spot. Seby is the worst hitter on the team by…..a lot. May be a better option than Collins vs LHP, but with Leury available that seemed like the best play. Oh well. Not exactly a bunch of good options.

Yeah. It’s always been dumb. Trading long term cheap control over a 3 war floor 2B for an over paid reliever is fucking dumb. Not to mention adding Heuer who had a decent chance to be close to as good as Kimbrel the next 18 months anyway, and a potential future closer. It was a bad trade and it will get worse. Would be nice if Kimbrel would stop giving up runs and at least do his part.

Too many to count!

I think he was well outside of a foot of the baseline.

He's been great defensively this year. Stanton or Judge or whoever that was should have been called out for going out of the baseline. TA didn't make a great throw obviously, but if he stays in the baseline he's out.

I don't mind the K zone, but its much harder to critique the ump when its not there.

Yeah I’m sure the Yankees were thrilled to lose a game to the team theyre now 7 GB on. People can’t actually believe that can they?

Thanks for your contribution!

Single in 1st.

Gonna enjoy this one. Hope the bats come alive again. Minus those 3 Cubs games and the first Twins game, the offensive has been mostly bad since Yaz went down.

Pretty uninspiring effort the last 2 nights from the offense.

Andrew hung over today or some shit?

Probably prefer to stay in downtown Minneapolis as opposed to an AmericINN in the middle of nowhere Iowa.

Huh? I said I would ride Rodon hard because I think there is no way he's on the roster next year. I didn't say I would run him out there until his arm falls off. You're just making up the context of the comment. Of course the Sox need him in October - that should go without saying.

Is World Series HFA this year back to whoever has better record?

Yeah. I would ride Rodon hard because I have no interest in paying him after this eseason. If the IL stint is simply to give him 10 days off....I think its a good move. If he's actually hurt, well that's a big time bummer, but I am far from surprised.

Kopech is a going to be SP. He has thrown 45 innings this year and is one pace to throw 65 innings. Rodon has thrown 110 innings. If Kopech has any prayer of starting next year, he absolutely should be taking at least a handful of starts down the stretch. Hope the Sox do that.

This is why you don't pay Carlos Rodon $18-20M AAV.

Cole has COVID
