This game may be over before the Sox get an at bat.

I thought for sure Avi was going deep there.

Yah I'd rather hold onto the high upside lefty than sign some "decent vets". But if someone wants to pay the moon for him, you obviously listen.

Rodon has the chops to be an ace. Staying healthy has been his issue.

I fully expect to Avi to go bonkers today.

Brandon Guyer is a 33 year old journeyman. Austin is 6 years younger, controllable long term for cheap and is a much better power hitter than Guyer. He's nothing that exciting, but he's definitely worth taking a flier on for nothing in return. That being said, it is unlikely that Austin will even make to the Sox waiver priority.

Again, the ump did not toss Machado. He was just called out on the play for interference.

Can’t hit RHP at all but mashes Lefties.

Probably unlikely to get thru KC, TOR and NYY before the Sox would have a chance to get him tho.

Twins just DFAd Tyler Austin. Would be perfect platoon mate for Alonso. Another 1B/DH type but he can play some RF, but not well.

I think I I’m ready to say that Eloy is not a good defensive pOF. Hopefully he can improve cause it’s not been pretty (SSS).

Let just get out of this inning here and give him a real short rope in the 5th

One thing to note is that based on some of the early reports, Yoan probably spent a good chunk of the $15M he netted after tax. Likely still a wealthy man, but I doubt he has $10M+ sitting in a brokerage account somewhere.

Looks fine to me. Just a brief bout with the yips.

Relax dude

FuckingA just let him swing hte bat

I dont feel for him at all

Ya they guys look shocked at it.

Lol @ Ms

Read first page of thread

I think I'd pass unless super team friendly.

I assume he'll be taking Donn Roach's spot in the Charlotte rotation, who got shelled last night.

As I said, I would have left him alone. Renteria sucks at his job. This is nothing new, and it won't change.

I'd leave him alone based on his start, but it makes a little sense. He has career OPS of .611 versus LHP as opposed to .782 against RHP.

Would have preferred: Leury 2B, Moncada 3B, Abreu 1B, Eloy LF, Castillo C, Anderson SS, Rondon DH, Cordell 9, Engel 8 What does Cordell need to do to get a start? Sox don't seem to be too concerned about limiting Alonso's PA with him starting against LH starter.
