I think it‘s time for Yonder to sit out some games. Especially since the Sox insist on having Abreu play 1B.

 

How about he sits out the rest of the season to ensure the Sox don't have him on the team next year earning $9 million.  ?

Gio... ?

6 starts?  You be cray cray.

I said good, I didn’t say great.  No matter how you want to slice it, this version of Lucas is a significant improvement vs. the worst starter in baseball last year.  He looks like he belongs in a major league rotation.  His ceiling still remains to be seen.

Orrrrr just let him play til the deadline and DFA his ass

Any good reason for Lucas to come back out though? I have to imagine he has a one baserunner limit.

I'm not complaining.  I still have hopes for a solid rotation of Kopech, Cease, Lopez, Giolito, and Dunning.  Since they obviously won't sign a top free agent, I hope they keep taking best bat available in the draft.

I wouldn't. Let him end his night on a high note.

Because he is a waste of at bats. Give them to anyone who may have a future on this team, even if it is a small one.  I'd rather see Palka at this point over Alonso.

Ricky is trolling us

Renteria should be shot into the sun.

Lucas was in control the whole game. Even when he gave up the leadoff double he executed his pitches and didn‘t try to overthrow.

 

He was gassed an inning before, taking him out is the right decision, even if Lucas wanted to keep going.

for letting him get one more out? nah.

4.06 ERA.  Keep it going and don't lose your delivery.

His final pitch the inning before was 96 mph.

Just now, Look at Ray Ray Run said:

absolutely zero reason to bring him back out but if you don't mind that how about the 3rd inning bunt?  How about the constant bunting?  How about batting a guy 2ND THAT NEEDS A PH?

3.50 FIP, 3.68 xFIP for the season now. That’s certainly middle of the rotation numbers if he can maintain it for the entire season.

7.1, 3H, 0R, 3BB, 8K 105 pitches.  Bloody Outstanding!

He was throwing 93-96.  That is night and day from when he loses his delivery and falls off and throws low 90's.
