wegner

Thanks. I'm still hoping he can be a useful piece in the bullpen. I liked how he seemed to accept his "demotion" to the pen. I say give him the rest of the season with the Sox and let's see what we've got. Like you said he can be hard to square up. Throw strikes Carson.

It looks like he threw strikes and that is a good first step for him imho

Did not see the game at all and just looked at the box score...did Fullmer look good or is that line deceiving.

Cordell

In 10 years time or so, Odaris Despaigne will be the answer to a query on Soxtalk "hey remember that starting pitcher who never really warmed up before games and sucked?". That is the next time I'd like to hear about him please. Just release his sorry butt and bring up Santiago.

Osich and Minaya with great efforts tonight. Marshall with first bad game but Rick really left him in too long.

Yonder seems like a really nice guy but he is got to go...give his at bats to Palka

Oh this is an arbitration strategy? My mistake.

Wtf Ricky get him outta there

Tremendous outing from Osich tonight

Note to Lance Lynn...Tim Anderson can hit a fastball ?

I think Mazara preferred that guy throwing BP earlier in the game

In that case...not much of a disguise

I'm beginning to think that Despaigne is actually Jose Paniagua in disguise

Rangers throwing some leather that inning

I miss Dylan Covey

I know he's a free agent coming up. I thought we were looking for someone for the rest of this year but I would only want him if the Reds did not want much in return. That is probably not going to happen since he is starting to hit.

I think Steele Walker is the future there. I hate that the Sox overpaid Jay to use him as a pawn in an awful and stupid game but Jay is probably the best internal option. Would would it take for the Reds to ship over Puig? He is starting to heat up.

Herrera has been shaky at best since he tweaked his back. I doubt he would bring back anything of substance at all in a trade. He's about as valuable as Tyler Clippard was when the Sox traded him imho

Tough first Mlb game behind the plate for Collins having to catch Despaigne...of course he might not have to catch him for long

I'm going to pick Alonso while I can ?

Sure, why not?

I look forward to Collins extending his on base streak to 2 games.

Moncada

Answer to the other thread about the future of RF? Actually I see that Jay had a good day at the plate so we will probably see him soon.
