Cowser pick may keep Mets off Montgomery cuz one of the top 9 will be available for them?

Ha ha. Better to be lucky than good?

Heuer is broken.

That would be disappointing.

Bobby Witt Jr. is going to be good.

Feeling? Or have you heard something?

No Eloy in second game.

Hendricks hits 100 with a 5 run lead. Love it.

Imagine it’s Mendick, Sheets, or Burger

They are going to trade someone to the Padres for 5 guys. Inexplicably, whoever they trade will immediately either suck or get hurt and they will not be worse off. Seems like the story every year about this time.

Location, location, location.

And Goodwin silences the critics!

Ramos walked in an epic 12 pitch at bat. Kid looks like he might be something.

Me too. Although it looks like there may be some decent hitters in the AZL line up already.

Home Run for the Yerminator! He's back?

Gladney homer too. 6-1 Kanny.

Ramos homer.

I hope Law is right, but McDaniel knows his stuff. Muncy seems like a slight reach at 22. I am not on Petty, but what do I know?

I think the Sox have built in a few days for Rodon throughout the year. Maybe they should find more places to spot start Kopech in the second half. Trouble with that is that with the complete implosion of Marshall, Foster, and Heuer, Kopech is too valuable in the pen. would also like to limit Keuchel’s load for contract reasons.

I agree with Sox on 35th: Frazier scares me. Much prefer Escobar or stand pat re: 2b

He's still got a chance, if he can stay healthy. There's at least a month before Robert will be ready and Engel is going to get the lion's share of the CF at bats. If he does well there, he can get plenty of ab's in the corners given the offensive and/or defensive liabilities of Vaughn/Goodwin/Sheets/Lamb etc. I'll be interested to see how he does. When he's been healthy, he has looked very good.

Fair enough. In a short series, I would rather have bullpen depth than lineup depth, but that’s just my take. I honestly believe 5 years of Crochet > 1.5 years of Gallo.

Sure. Personally, I am not trading Kopech or Crochet. Wouldn’t even occur to me. Too valuable in the pen this year, too valuable in the rotation moving forward.

That is something the Sox lack, although I support a Gallo for Lambert and Stiever deal. Hell, I would even throw in ReyLo.

Ugh. That sucks. Guy’s been through a lot.
