One of my buddies actually believes they are a Castellanos and Correa signings away from being good next year. Can't make this shit up. Claims Hoerner is the shortstop next year (they would play Correa at 3B I guess in his mind) even though I've seen Hoerner enough to know he does not have the arm. He's a 2B or OF. Edit: you also know the Cubs are trash and Sox are good when Cubs fans talk about Sox attendance haha

Someone should probably check on @caulfield12.

It’s not “not rooting” for our guys. We want them to succeed but also realize and can admit when guys suck (like Collins both offensively and defensively).

I guess Mendick? 3 man bench and Robert had the day out. Could have also put Lamb in and sacrificed the DH I guess with like an inning or 2 left.

Guys, Vaughn is fine out there.

Right. I was thinking “damn….that’s one way to get to their pen early”

Oh fuck! That looks awful.

While I do normally agree, since he is coming off of an injury and we're what, 11 games up, I'm ok with it. I do find it funny when the mid-20s year olds sit one game of a doubleheader (only 14 innings these days) while the older players will play both haha

I'm torn on what I think the lineup should be when Yaz is back between Robert or Yaz in the 2-spot.

Do you chalk up some of the passed balls from Zavala due to framing? Trying to get that strike where you need to move the glove quickly and slightly? At least that’s what people said about Yaz beginning of the year.

I was thinking the same thing. And for the Dinger Tuesday promo on Fan Duel, I still went with Votto.

2-1 so far if you've been betting opposing team's runline.

I think if they don’t start out so hot that season, they don’t take a reliever that high. Wasn’t the thought at that time that he could make an impact later in the year? Of course they faded mid-season so it would have been unnecessary to call him up. And then of course injuries.

9 times? What in the fuck are we doing.

Just looked at his numbers and it looks like he’s hit well. I think you’re right that he won’t ever appear in another game with the Sox but I can see him being moved to an NL team to be a DH (if the DH finally comes to the NL) and emergency catch role. Of course I also don’t see any team giving up really anything for him either.

Yan Gomes would have been fantastic.

Anyone know how Xavier Fernandez or Carlos Perez is behind the plate? I feel like they have to be better options at this point as a backup. I feel like it will be a 4-way competition between Perez, Fernandez, minor league signing and Zavala (unless he is cut) for the job next year.

Fair take. Now don't you have an odd Jarred Kelenic-obsessed thread to update?

He’ll still have SS eligibility this year and next.

Hell yeah! 1-1

At least Vaughn has looked good out there.

Has played 4 games, has caught in one of them for 5 innings. Sure seems like they will take this rehab slowly.

Poster didn’t say Semien still was on Jays.

Ha my cousin is actually the guy to the left of the circle. Those are my uncle’s seats.
