While Kimbrel has struggled, Heuer has a 1.64 ERA for the Cubs. May be a usage problem in the Sox pen? Didn’t like the trade at the time, still don’t like it. I think we end up missing Pilkington too. When Hahn “goes for it”, he always overpays. Some of the worst trades in the last 10 years in MLB have been the Sox overpaying for veterans.

Romy Gonzalez 4-5 with 3 doubles. In 2 games, he is 6-9 with 5 XBH. That’ll work.

I think Romy Gonzalez’s future is as a multi-position guy with power and speed. Non-switch hitting Leury Garcia. Strikeouts may be too high for an every day guy.

I think Romy Gonzalez > Mendick.

Woo hoo! A hit with a man in scoring position!

Excuse me, 1-15.

1-14 with RISP

No.

9 Ks against Wacha. Crazy.

On pace to score 3 runs on 21 hits

Man, this is exactly how you lose baseball games.

With Romy, Adolfo, Sheets, and Burger, interesting hitting at Charlotte. Too bad there’s no pitching.

I don't care about ROY, but nice to see Vaughn emerging as a core piece. 2nd baseman of the future!

Man, they are really struggling w/RISP

Showing my age, but one of the most exciting Sox moments ever: https://m.facebook.com/NBCSChicago/videos/396712344309684/

Terrell Tatum 2-2 2 walks and a HR. Two more hits for Kath plus a walk. He is off to a great start.

I guess he can DH

Eloy at DH after raking all weekend. Nice test for whether it affects him.

I bet Gonzalez is a Tyler Johnson situation. He's injured so can't be on the 60 day. Odds are they will resign him.

Eloy likes playing left. I like Eloy hitting when he is happy.

You could tell Eloy was getting hot the last several games cuz he was taking the ball to right. That is always a good key for him.

Okay, official! Bring out the tarp.

Maybe it rains, suspended game, let him finish at home where he knows how to pitch.

That is exactly how you let these AAAA players come back on you.

I was never the biggest Madrigal supporter, but as usual when the Sox are acquiring veterans, it’s a huge overpay. Nice article in BA about how most deadline prospects never pan out. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/few-prospects-traded-at-the-deadline-go-on-to-significant-major-league-careers/ Sox gave up two young cost-controlled major leaguers who have already panned out.
