What are the rules on this? I saw someone different than the previous night's win post a game thread the next day just last week or two weeks ago. Was it because there wasn't a thread at the time the lineup was announced?

Expect the worst hope for the best. Not sure why that’s an unacceptable thing to do when it comes to injuries. Especially since this is a message board to discuss potential scenarios.

I think we were all rooting for him to get tossed in that first inning of that Sox Cubs game. I know I was.

Oh god. I'm having flashbacks of when Vaughn was activated from the IL but wasn't in the lineup since he flew in that morning, but was there practicing lol C'mon Tony. These guys aren't almost 80 like you.

Gausman is at 6.5 for O/U Ks for tonight. Is it safe in a Same Game Parlay? Me thinks so.

Grandal hitting lead off tonight

Yes

Great time for Yolbert, who I would have no problem keeping around after Toronto anyway.

Any update on this? Hopefully he comes back this series.

Against righties, Moncada. Against lefties, Pollock or Engel.

God help us all.

I'm afraid to see who hits leadoff for us.

Lol far from what people are actually claiming but ok….

Lol have you seen how bad the guys in front of him are?

Yeah I think I would listen on anyone who is under control through next year but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’d sell them at all costs

The first game is 2 days away so maybe not too crazy. But I don’t think it will be either.

Yeah this season feels over. Not going to tear it down at deadline though

So who comes up? A pitcher since an infielder came up for Keuchel? And I wonder what 2 players aren’t vaccinated for Toronto. Great time to see Yolbert.

Should have been Yolbert.

This is what I was thinking.

Yeah this would have been a good time to call up Yolbert since we open up a spot on 40-man as well.

That doesn't sound right at all. And even so, no way that option kicks in even if he makes every scheduled start (he won't).

FYI, Tepera was a separate move from the Madrigal-Kimbrel deal.

The bolded is just flat out wrong. And it's not so much that they didn't sign Conforto. At the time when we didn't know about the shoulder, yes a lot of people wanted him. But it's also the fact they didn't really address the RF issue at all.

I have free tickets for tomorrow. Should be fun watching Cueto pitch. Just hope there is a lefty on the mound for the Cubs.
