Come on, Dallas. Don't fuckin suck.

8-4 Seamen in the bottom of the 9th.

Yeah we were 2-5 against them. Gotta finish ahead.

Thanks! That’s what I thought but couldn’t remember if it changed.

I forgot the rules, but if Sox go to the ALCS against a Wild Card team, do they automatically get home field advantage? Because it is a real possibility the Wild Card team has a better record than them.

I’d give Lopez a start over Keuchel at this point.

What is the update?

Tony LaRussa, that you?

This. That’s all it is really.

Fuckin right?! It was clear how badly we were missing him just by watching Collins and Seby every day.

Yes! Love those.

Grandal probably kicked his dog.

I think they decline his option but I wouldn’t rule out a return completely. They can probably bring Cesar back for cheaper if they want to wait it out. I’m down for an Escobar reunion though like you said.

Hopefully Sheets gets most of the at bats Goodwin was getting. Otherwise there doesn’t seem to be a purpose (I assume he will be sent down when Engel comes back).

At minimum, you would think he would spell TA at short and maybe enter a platoon at 2B with Cesar (actually surprised this hasn't been talked about yet for Leury who does better against lefties).

Yeah I was thinking they could decline that option and re-sign cheaper later if they wanted to.

Yep same issue a day later.

They might as well have added him yesterday instead of Mendick and added Mendick today.

Wow that is awesome! I assume he will be at SS tonight with Tim out?

Nice reference.

Yeah that should have been blocked.

Baez would have swung.

That ball probably skips by Collins to be honest.

I've been going back and forth on this myself. Hamilton is fine for defense and pinch running, but like you said, a healthy Engel can do that. Hamilton should not receive any at bats in the playoffs (if he is on the roster).

I don’t think he is the 8th inning guy. Bummer pitched the night before and Hendriks wasn’t available (TLR said 2 days ago Kimbrel would get closer duties 2 days in a row). So I’m not sure who else TLR would have used but I wish he would use Crochet more, at least better than how he has handled him so far.
