Both runs Hanser's direct responsibility, and he also takes out TA's knee. Brutal. Thanks for the homer, but my lord.

JFC Hanser

I suppose all things considered, I'd rather have a tough schedule in April than September. As long as Sox can weather the storm, they'll be better for it come mid-season while Guardians and Twins are playing the tougher parts of the schedule.

Sure, but these things will even out. But yah, Sox need to avoid falling well below .500 in April.

I meannnnn, it was still an awful play that a major leaguer needs to make. He made up for it tho, thankfully!

Well, Hanser got it back. Good boy.

Again, its the 11th game. We're so far away from being "out of it" its not even funny.

I fucking hate umpires. Such a huge missed call there. Make it hurt, Gavin.

Man, its the 11th game of the season. Relax on the hot takes,

Alright, I am over Hanser now.

Glad to see him stay in the org while not taking up a 40 man roster spot, tho. He was pretty good in the minors before the shoulder issues. Hope he bounces back.

Of course Joe Kelly is hurt.

While I agree the risk of losing him in minimal, they likely still need that length in the pen for now. Things haven't really changed on that since was was called up last Friday.

I am aware. You can DFA someone not on the active roster.

Can't say I disagree with you on just playing him. But 1-2 days off isn't worth a 10 day IL stint.

Probably because he looked like s%*# at the plate the last 4-5 games and the toe is clearly bugging him.

With this delayed announcement, I am starting to think this may be a suspension from yesterday versus an mlb roster DFA or demotion. Otherwise the delayed announcement doesn’t make much sense. Then again, not 100% sure on suspension rules for pitchers - know Angels had to play a man short while Rendon was suspended.

He’s been around. Pitched for the Angels and Ms for a bit. Appeared in each of the past 6 MLB seasons --- 154 games.

Nah, I'd much rather Robert play against the Twins that Pirates.

Isn't that a shame.

Yeah, until he hurts himself again.

I'd be shocked if they DFA German.

Hmmm. Waited until they left Pittsburgh to kick Diekman to the curb?

Twins don't really have many lefties with Kepler and Kiriloff on IL and Gallo also dinged up and not playing lately. Not that those are big names to begin with. Its basically Larnach and Nick Gordon and bunch of righties.

Anderson SS, Robert CF, Benintendi LF, Vaughn DH, Sheets 1B, Grandal C, Alberto 3B, Colas RF, Andrus 2B Moncada on the bench after a rough weekend in favor of Alberto, and Sheets at 1B while AV DHs.
