Sox and a Prayer

Eloy must of had a growing spurt.

Thank you. This is what I was thinking

Some of the writers at future sox have heard it to. Sleepy Harold maybe?

Darvish just smiles. Tip your hat. Nothing you can do.

I actually had a cubs fan tell me today that the sox are hitting too many homeruns. That we can't manufacture any runs. I'm like really? I looked at him and told him that it didn't hurt Minnesota last year when they homered their way to the playoffs.

What a great impact our new hitting coach has had! What a great hire! ?

The last couple of days Ricky looks so annoyed from the dugout.

Even for a little change of scenery swap of Bellinger for Mazara? might do them both some good. Lol. Sorry had to say and was dying when you posted that earlier.

Hahn will bring him back. Madrigal makes the team better. But will Ricky start him? That's the question. I mean Madrigal's ops .628 is better than Mazara's .574. And way better than Delmonico's and Goins. Lol

Good call. Was just thinking that. And I think Madrigal is about ready to return. What to do Ricky?

Delmonico to be sent back down? Asking for a friend.

Maybe Steve Stone can help him focus on a triangle or something. Anything at this point to help.

Can you imagine how good this bullpen will be if we get the Jace Fry from 2 seasons ago? And it's already a very good bullpen. Mercy!

Yolmer Sanchez was just released by the Giants.

That's what I would've thought.

I thought Grandal was a bad matchup with Lester pitching? Maybe Rickies gut is telling him something else? Normally I would be worried about 7 -9 but Mendick and Engel have been solid.

I absolutely love these breakdowns here! Thanks for doing this.

And these are the kind of tweets that are helping to make their situation awkward. But it is what it is. There's 5 weeks left. At this point that is definitely one of the things everyone is looking at - pitching era/catcher. I do think the ERA will come down as Grandal continues to catch. I also think that Grandal is a super talented player who has a good eye for the strikezone. Who can take a walk and get on base. At the same time, McCann has the pitchers pitching with a better flow to the game. 5 weeks left. they have to work this out.

It is almost becoming an awkward situation. We have Grandal off to a really slow start and a really big contract. And then we have McCann picking up right where he left off. Plus the fact that he has a great flow/ game plan with Giolito. And he has history with Keuchel too (teammates at Arkansas). I think there is a way they both could coexist on this team. They both bring alot to the table.

"He gets me!"

I would be very happy with a Joc Pederson acquisition. Yes very easy to root for. And honestly knowing how the Sox work would be a little surprised if they didn't get him next year.

Springer will be on the wrong side of 30. And I just don't know how comfortable I am knowing that he was part of the Astros cheating racket.

No you're correct. He shouldn't be compared to Mize. But 2 years ago, everyone seemed to know Dunning. A top 100 prospect - and depending on who you talk to from the Sox - were more excited about Dunning than Giolito or Lopez in the trade for Eaton.

As I said in another post, I am very comfortable with him as a catcher. He makes a great option to have.

No he's not. And I'm very comfortable with him as a catching option.
