Glad they are on the road. It is hot as balls out here today.

He does have 2 intentional walks with the Sox (which I think you are referring to) but that counts as it's own stat and not under walks (he has 8).

Right. You think with what the Sox gave up that the Cubs would have eaten some salary. I always figured if any young guy from the core was dealt it would be for another SP or a RF (with control). I guess with Lynn extending and Kopech sliding into the rotation next year there really isn't a hole in the rotation next year though (as of now that is).

It’s 10 days not 10 games. So he should be eligible for the 12th (2nd-11th = 10 days).

I have a feeling you’re right. Win the series tonight and then Sunday lineup tomorrow.

Keuchel vs Jax Let’s keep the winning streak and good times rolling. Long live this win streak! Long live manbearpuig started game threads!

Whoosh

Presumably after he’s covid cleared.

There was on odds boost for “Giolito to have 5+ Ks and Sox to score 5.” Looking good early.

It usually isn’t if it isn’t an ESPN exclusive game.

Why wouldn't Kasper just step in?

Agreed. He's long overdue to take a breather.

Pretty much this. I’m ok with getting guys rest but really itching to see everyone in the lineup together.

That's not true. World Series and LCS is 2 games in one ballpark, day off, then 3 games in the other ballpark, then day off.

Vaughn or Eloy in LF with the other DHing. Engel in RF against lefties, probably Goodwin against righties.

The MLBTR article on this mentions that players that are injured on the 40-man roster in the minors can not be place on outright waivers and they can't claimed so the only thing a team can do is release him or add him to the MLB roster only to put him on the MLB IL. It's pretty common for a team to release the player and re-sign him to a minor league (Tyler Johnson just like 10 days ago) where they are not holding down a 40-man spot.

Right. Not enough at bats really.

Wow this is something I didn't even notice. Makes sense since it is started late and rosters aren't expanding as much as they used to.

Huh? Teams do this all the time. I was just reading on MLBTR that an injured minor league player can't be placed on waivers and claimed so it's a pretty normal move to release and re-sign them to a minor league deal. I think Lamb will be here the rest of the way. Hamilton comes back September 1 as one of the extra roster spots but Lamb does not make the playoff roster.

With Gonzalez being hurt for the year, he would probably go unclaimed so I think he would be a good dfa candidate. Or like someone else said, release him and re-sign him to a minor league deal like they did recently with Tyler Johnson.

According to tray, the only righties he should play against are ones that belong in the minors ?

I doubt he can. It's not like he was on the MLB IL.

I don't know but Rutherford blows.
