It‘s so freaking obvious that they have de-juiced the balls again. The ball Alvarez hit would have been gone easily.

If I ever happen to get into the porn business, this would be my screen name.

I was just about the tune in to the Braves game and saw the score on my mlb app. Had to do a double take. Braves completely imploded

Wouldn’t insurance cover for most of Rodon‘s salary anyway? If so, non tendering him would be dumb.

He could also play 1B. Not going to happen though

The Hosmer deal is probably the worst contract in baseball. They have him on the books for 6 more years. At least the end is in sight for the Chris Davis and the Albert Pujols deal.

Game could go 19 innings and he could go 0-8

? If anything greg should love this sox team‘s inability to hit homers. ?

I am sure giving Scott Linebrink $13 mil over a decade ago will influence the decision making this year. Robertson was also a disaster for the Sox.

The weird thing is that he showed a little bit of pop a couple of years ago to the point that he was a solid regular. This year he makes Juan Pierre look like Giancarlo Stanton.

I still see the Twins as overachievers that feasted on a horrific division. They are not a true talent 100 win team IMO.

Time to start the Welington Castillo appreciation thread after this game.

I'm pretty sure it was mental with him after his 0-40 or whatever it was start.

I'd be way happier if the Sox would have been able to effectively end the Twins season, but I'll take it.

All kidding aside, I'm happy for Palka on a personal level. He appears to be a good dude and you don't want to see people struggle like he has done this year.

Daniel Palka not only hit his first homer, he raised his batting average over .100 #stud

The frequency the Indians churn out pitchers is almost unfair. Civale was never a much-heralded prospect, but just dominated the upper minors and has looked great in the majors.

Tim has the batting title all but wrapped up. Would he still qualify if he sat the remaining games?

Matt Skole with the 3-0 green light. Ricky is just the best tank manager.

Calling a random Palka homer tonight.

You're changing the goalposts. FWIW big time free agent signings rarely work out well for the team signing them. ARod was probably one of the best free agent signings ever, his contract became an albatross when the Yankees extended him.

Jayson Werth, Eric Hosmer, Robinson Cano, ARod. These are just off the top of my head.

Gordon Beckham, huh?

Mendick has done nothing but impress in that small sample size. His versatility should earn him a 26 man spot.

Yeah, I think signing one starter is a given. But Lopez shouldn’t be just handed a rotation spot and instead compete with a buy low candidate like Wacha or Archer.
