ReyLo should give Nelson Cruz a shave with a 97 mph fastball. Then do it again until he backs up and takes a walk. I would not throw a strike to Cruz.

ReyLo is on a short leash so i am not as worried about him as our middle relievers who will be shouldering a lot of innings tonight. Sox pitchers have to pitch around Nelson Cruz.

"In the area of the hamstring" is a strange way for Renteria to describe Moncadas apparent leg ailment. That seems to encompass everything from the lower back, ass, to back of his knee.

Mazara appears to have cut down on his swing and opened up a bit at the plate. He has had at least two hits to LF recently including the one yesterday off a LH pitcher. Mazara has also made two stellar plays in RF recently, an excellent sliding catch saving runs and the 27th out yesterday where he showed decent speed, a good jump and of course his extended reach because of his height. He is still young and has put up 20HR / year a few times, so maybe people should be patient.

There should be an eating crow thread where posters admit they were wrong about players, the team, and even whether the season should have been allowed to proceed this year. A lot of them are seating at the edge of their seats watching every game.

I am old enough to recall that George Brett had issues "in the general area of his hamstring."

The trade for James Shields under similar circumstances has ended up having indirect benefits to the organization.

McCann adds value and longevity to Grandal allowing him to rest his legs by playing !B or DHing, yet still taking advantage of his bat. The Sox are in a win now mode so pay McCann. This thing is working. Did you see McCann today with the clutch double or the laser throw to third base? Or the no-hitter he caught?

McCann has an expanded role compared to what most people would call a "back-up catcher" and you know it. McCann may prove to be a better catcher defensively that Grandal moving forward which allows the Sox more flexibility with Grandal to place first base or DH. You know this so why are you throwing this shit at me?

He isn't a "back-up catcher" Have you been watching the team this season?

You can tender McCann an Offer this season. Signing him has another advantage. It helps the Sox get some trade value for Collins.

I have been fist pounding that McCann should be signed and Collins should be traded.

I prefer Plesac. Perhaps ReyLo plus Collins or something like that.

Walk Soler

Unless the Sox can acquire a pitcher that is a TOR starter, forget it.

Learn from the James Shields deal. That is all we ask.

Rays need a catcher...

Minnesota just tied 2-2-

Exactly Write it off and STFU.
