Having potential hall of famer Chris Sale do something very few pitchers can do has spoiled Sox fans.

There is a very ominous hue to that ballpark.

When you're a guy like Rodon who can K a lot of batters, but aren't K'ing any batters, you make your own luck. Teams put the ball in play way too much against Rodon, plus the amount of walks he has... this isnt bad "luck", this is a pitcher who doesn't look like a MLer.

That was vintage Avi, which I have some twisted nostalgia for.

Was the walk to .190 batting Prince Fielder a figment of my imagination?

Nice DP, hopefully saves the Sox some grief.

I really, really do not. I think long term he's gonna be a very good 2, but the Sox have higher aspiration in 2016 than "develop Carlos Rodon".

I'm going to keep saying until you people stroke my ego and acknowledge it: 1 Sale 2 Q (but really a 1) 3 <NOBODY> 4 Latos 5 Miguel Gonzalez/Carlos Rodon There's a glaring hole on this team.

nice job keeping it under 140, you email Bernstein your WYC submission this week?

I really, really hate the writers at Fangraphs.

You mean that clickbait trash tossed out out like viral chum into the shark-infested waters of the Blogging Industrial Complex? I couldn't even make it through the first 30 seconds of that cringe inducing schlock. DiCaro will hammer anyone who so much as gives a woman the side-eye, except for the overly influencial lead host of the afternoon show at her own station who's been put on blast gawking at CSN hosts tits numerous times (he's been on Deadspin twice! for it). Julie has nothing to say about that though, I'm sure if pressed she'd tell you Bernstein never meant what he said and that he's "on the right side of things." A level of forgiveness I've never seen her afford to any of her other targets, but hey she knows the path to her own show on that dying station is paved by clickbait Cubs tweets and kissing Bernstein's ass.

I just need to be reminded of Rodon's ability again

Im struggling to believe Melky's story here.

I-it was the c-cough medicine, I swear. I have a **COUGH COUGH** bad, bad cold. *swats more HR in a month than he ever has before in an entire season

You really should not.

MLB lightened Mondesi's suspesion after he showed that what he popped hot for was in cold medicine. I dont buy it either.

Two names out: Logan Lambana P Twins (minor league guy) Raul Mondesi Jr., Royals #1 prospect.

Its fake.

Harper is going to get $500m+ from the Yankees, everyone knows it. Anaheim, LA, maybe even the Cubs if they havent won anything at that point and Theo is getting desperate, will bid hard for him. But the Yankees have been slashing payroll and doing a soft rebuild in anticipation of his free agency... wouldn't shock me to see Harper traded to the Yanks this offseason or next offseason.

Frazier is the hero, but Lawrie is what made that possible.

OK that makes me feel good...

I'll jump in traffic, much to the delight of many a Soxtalk poster.

Assuming Putnam avoids a Chernobyl-like meltdown he raised the win total by 1, and that is everything.

Deep down I never doubted them not one bit.

ODOR WTF
