If you build it....oh never mind I just remembered you think the movie sucks.

Field of Dreams Game: Sox vs. Yankees 8.13.20
If he is still on the team, it might be a way to finally get rid of Jon Jay... He goes back on a ball into the cornfield and never returns.

Field of Dreams Game: Sox vs. Yankees 8.13.20
I played a short pick up game there once while driving through. If I remember correctly it is a bit short. They might need to cut back some more corn or the Yankees might hit 30 home runs at least. One other thought, will they put up a fence? If not, I would love to see someone like Engel go back on a bomb and try to run it down by heading into the cornfield.

Fulmer to IL, Gascan (aka Covey) recalled from Charlotte
I agree with you, plus I am smiling at the prospect of the installation of a Dylan Covey squished penny machine at Sox Park. Keep and eye out for the Jose Paniagua Mold A Rama machine coming next season.

If Santiago is a boomerang like Stone said, what is Covey....a bad penny?

Game Thread 8/7/19 - Sox @ Detroit
I also think that Abreu will be back next year. I believe they always wanted Jose here for when Robert comes up so he is as comfortable as possible. But as a side question: Is there any chance that Sheets would be ready to join the big club to begin 2020? I know that Vaughan is the future at 1B but I am intrigued if Sheets could be a Left Handed hitting power option for DH/1B?

Luis Robert posts and deletes Instagram story of himself at Charlotte airport
Actually not weird at all. That is the first way I heard it pronounced by someone (don't remember who) but obviously that was wrong. I personally don't care how he pronounces it or even if he changes his name to Yolmer or even Yonder as long as he eventually plays anywhere near what he's been doing in AAA. I am beyond excited to see him and Madrigal on the South Side next year.

Boomerang with a nice job getting out of trouble in the bottom half and we are scoreless after 1 inning of play

I can't wait for his MLB debut and the Chuck Garfien pregame taking 20 minutes to discuss how to accurately pronounce Robert.

SoxTalk fan pulse: How far away are the Sox from competing?
The Royals and Tigers should still suck and need to be feasted on next year so I expect them to be in the playoff hunt. Need to spend $$ in the offseason though and get some quality MLB arms in here and someone to play RF.

The OBP, speed and power will be fun. I agree with you that home runs are great but I love to see Timmy and Yoan run the bases. And I think Madrigal will be right there with them.

8/5 | Sox @ Tigers | Gio vs Turnbull | 6:10PM CT
Speaking of spelling, am I the only one here who needs to look up how to spell Buehrle every time? I just did again now.

In fact it's been the other way around. I can think of at least a couple of times that someone in our division has made the playoffs solely on how badly they beat up the Sox that year. Maybe the Sox can compete for a wildcard next year if they get the job done against the Tigers and Royals.

I'll take B, Sir Madrigal 1 or 2?

8/5 | Sox @ Tigers | Gio vs Turnbull | 6:10PM CT
I might do 8 years for 8 million total. Gonna have to pay him to be one of those Sox ambassadors anyway soon. ?

How would a Sanchez, Tilson, Abreu, Reed, Castillo, Goins, Cordell, Engel, Rondon lineup look?

Interesting. I thought Madrigal would be best in the 2 hole?

8/5 | Sox @ Tigers | Gio vs Turnbull | 6:10PM CT
Agreed but still nice to enjoy some wins. But yeah the Tigers are awful.
-
8/5 | Sox @ Tigers | Gio vs Turnbull | 6:10PM CT
Yep, nice to have someone who looks like a major leaguer get called up from the minors like Goins.
-
8/5 | Sox @ Tigers | Gio vs Turnbull | 6:10PM CT
4 games...3 wins...that's more fun. Don't worry tank fans, I'm sure they will still have a relatively high pick. Aren't gonna catch the Tigers anyway.

True for all pitchers but I think even more for him...Jace needs to throw first pitch strikes
