Either way Lucas is done. Is he really going to be this good now? His 2017 late season call up went extremely well also.

LuGon 3 hits.

BUZZKILL

Promote BFlores now. Almost 20 starts at AA. E.R.A. Under 3. I don't think there is a rule that states you must strike out 9 per game to be a good pitcher.

Very humid, hot and bad hitting back drop. Sea level, ball doesn't carry. Outfielders can play in a bit and take away hits because it's hard to hit it over their heads.

Quite possible, But Birmingham is probably the worst place to hit in the world. Add in the 2,000 rain outs and delays this wet spring, and I still have hope for a bounce back.

Bush is hitting like Kelenic Since mid April. Not bad for 33rd rounder. 6 months younger too!

please excuse bernardo flores from this post. he should be sent to AAA today. if his era whip and fip stay ok, he'll be our #5 for 10 years.

His slow start cost him his job. In my mind he's still an upgrade over Alonso.

ah, the Boomer. As Harry Carey used to say, the big possum walks late! p.s. If any one knows what that means, please let me know.

Doesn't Alonso need to meet some appearance amount to guarantee his option? His batting average and slug% give the Sox a legit reason to stop playing him.

They seem to have improved as a duo this year. Steve is getting older and is losing a step, but Jason has improved by leaps and bounds.

This is only half in jest. Aldi is way better than rip off Whole Foods. If you had used Mariano's I would have agreed

Won't McCann be eligible for medicare in 3 years or so?

If Stievers pitches well his next 1-2 starts, they'll move up together.

Probably, but he's got 2 hits and scored a pair of runs tonite. P.S. he's not Adam Engel.

You don't pick your team mates and that's not Jose's fault. One thing I've always wanted to say is Konerko was maybe the worst base runner the Sox ever had besides Spanky Lavalleire. He was also a pretty terrible 1st baseman too. He had good hands but if it wasn't hit right at him, he wouldn't make the play. Check out his defensive WAR on baseball reference some time. Still, the man had some huge hits for us and won a ring.

Sounds like some one started tipping before noon.

I can honestly say I didn't think any one would bother replying.

Hey, Abum got an out when it counts. Did he do something last year to piss off the Sox? Seems like he started slow, got it together and started getting people out, but still got sent down. I think he pitched better than other guys at AAA and still got passed over for recalls too. Any one hear some thing about that.

Cease is probably 2 good starts away from Chicago. We're already past the 7th season nonsense. Just bring him up and monitor his innings. I might go to a game to see him pitch.

Is it time to release Adam Engel? Is it time to play Charlie Tilson for a few months? Tilson is probably just a AAAA player but so what. He's worked hard to come back from a devastating injury and should be rewarded. I think after 3 years, every one knows AE will never hit enough to matter. It's time for a new face and Tilson is the best available.

I hope not. He can dominate but gets wild some times. A high leverage reliever has to throw strikes. Of course, who knows if his arm can hold up to pitching 200 innings a year.

That may be true. I'm only 57 so I don't remember him. My first Sox memories start with Walt Williams, Carlos May, Bill Melton and managerial wise Chuck Tanner.
