Which means they have to use assets to acquire those pieces, instead of just cash, which they could have done this offseason. Additionally, the Houston Astros have made the ALCS 5 years in a row. That’s not luck. The Sox have lost in two consecutive ALDS and seemingly kept the car in neutral this offseason. Sorry for wanting more. Us Sox fans have really been spoiled, seeing the Sox win 3 playoff series the last 100 years (all in 2005 mind you.)

amazing grab

No. Let him eat this for 4 innings. Don’t wreck the bullpen for upcoming divisional games because this guy is dick.

I would have loved to be in the room when the FO was discussing signing him. Honestly, what were the odds this signing “worked out?” Like, 3%?

He is a bad pitcher. We knew this before, we know this now. This is what a bad pitcher looks like.

He should write Jerry a letter

Lol, that made me laugh early this AM which is hard to do, so well done

I watched it on a 65 inch TV, so you don't have to. You made that choice, not MLB.

You're really going to die on this stupid hill, aren't you? It's just crazy to see a smart person take such a weird position

People are stubborn and dumb

How is Leury Garcia possible?

I also feel bad for the M's lol

People often over-exaggerate, but that honestly was a Little League play he messed up.

Harold is just going to murder you.

My meatball take for the day is if these guys keep winning, I don't mind TLR mixing things up and keeping guys fresh. As others have already mentioned, from an offensive side, this team is in fact pretty deep and they should take advantage of that by keeping guys active and in the lineup, which should help in the dog days of August. Vaughn being a platoon player is dumb as hell but I think he's going to hit well enough that TLR will be forced to make him an everyday guy...but other than that, I don't mind the different lineups every day...to a point.

I just really wish Hendricks didn’t suck

Annnnnnnd it’s gone.

Awesome to see this from Dallas thus far.

1. The game was also designed to be...one game. Playing 18 innings in one day is far too much baseball 2. If we are talking about game design and how things were in the past, you're also talking about pitchers that would throw 300 innings in one season, teams hitting a combined 40 HR's in 140 games, and a good SO/W rate in the 2's... Things change....in 2022 with the way bullpens and starters are used, when a DH takes place, I like a team getting those 4 combined innings back and speeding up what is already far too long of a game, generally.

Keep DH's to 7 innings. No runner on second bullshit in extras, but I liked the 7 inning DH's.

I would have loved for them to sign Suzuki, but in my rare defense of the Sox......everyone in the league is envious of the pipeline the Sox have created in Cuba. They can't have it all...(I'm not saying they couldn't have signed Suzuki, but it's not like they aren't players in the International Market)

Anytime the Sox can win a game that was started by Vince Velasquez, that’s a major plus.

Ok, pal.
