Wow, when you miss the offensive prowess of Mike Huff, there's a problem.

Hey Sheets had a double to LF. Not that he's in there to try to hit homers or anything. Gavin...you are not staying in the league long term shooting the ball to left.....sorry.

Do they ever have an offensive plan?? Gonna go see if that Fire Mennechino thread needs a bump up again.

Anytime Elvis wants to show his great offense in Cleveland, please do so. Maybe it was all on Sundays?

Often when this team struggles offensively, Jose presses trying to do too much and really expands his zone. Very frustrating.

Big Energy drinks always wear off

LaRussa should've been jettisoned earlier in the season. The Phillies currently hold the 2nd wild card after floundering under Girardi.

Jason will give you those fandual odds in the 1st.

Once again Eloy was only mostly dead.

Shove down their ass?? Not that there's anything wrong with that!!

Can't get swept. Let's win today to start. I'll go with Moncada

The Kimbrel option was $16 million.

Shield, Hydra it all goes.

Rodon wouldn't have taken the QO. Hahn also chose VV initially over Cueto so I'm not giving him much credit there either.

Exercising that Kimbrel option was just stupid and that's not hindsight...many here were against it. Many here also thought the qualifying offer to Rodon was a no brainer. Just a crappy off season by Hahn.

Well they did eat some salary when they released Keppinger so there is hope.

Maybe tomorrow.

Like something is about to break loose as in another injury? Is that what he means? Sheets is bad on the road so whatever, but Grandal playing no matter what is comical.

I recently watched Trouble With The Curve (well technically my wife watched it while I followed the Soxtalk gamethread but I was in the same room) and that movie proved that all you egghead numbers guys don't know diddly squat about baseball. At least I think that was what it was about. My wife was also switching back and forth from that movie to Draft Day so I might have lost some of the context. All I know is that this kid had a great curveball and they brought him in to embarrass the other kid that they had just drafted in the 1st round. Also, it's not easy being a scout, or GM, or lawyer who hates being a lawyer. Remember that.

I predict there will be calls on Soxtalk after this contest to either release Elvis or have him batting 3rd going forward. I'm hoping for the latter.

For Posterity....

I was at the game where he hit a walk off homer for the Sox against the Twinkies...that was fun. Just watched the highlights....hugs from Yolmer, Delmonico, Davidson, Palka and plenty of gatorade. Ahhhh....good times.

I'm a bit shocked they were that good.
