Nice pitch!  Would love to see them have Bummer go 2 innings.

Reylo needed a short starter.

This would be his last inning for me, but I know there's like a 5% chance of that happening.

I'd milk him until he gives up his first hit in the next inning.  He's only at 89 pitches.  A 6 inning quality start in Texas should boost his confidence.

Ricky needs to take López out now. Let him leave with the lead and a chance to pick up a win. Something to build on.

nice last couple innings - hit the showers

Impressed Lopez has survived with 1 1/2 pitches tonight.

How's Madrigal looking?

It will be nice when Madrigal replaces Dirty Sanchez.

He's hitting .400 in AA with a .927 OPS

Lopez with 89 pitches so you know Ricky will bring him back out.  We just have to temp fate.  A quality start would be nice...but why aggravate the baseball Gods.

Another 2 hit effort for Jay in Charlotte.    I think Hahn will keep him down there until Jay convinces Machado to sign here.

I think the Machado/Jay/Alonso jokes have run their course. I also think Jay will be up soon if Cordell continues to suck

Cordell probably stays on the roster until next Thursday, as Sox have 3 straight games vs LHP at Boston

I know Cubs fans don't care because they won a WS but man, they gave up an absolute stud in Gleybor Torres for 3 months of wife beater Chapman.

DFA Alonso and bring up Palka, send down Cordell and bring Jay in.

I like Cordell.  If only he could hit a little bit.

He's not a major leaguer

Lopez gets some help from Timmay on that massive hanger.  Getting to be time to pull Lopez, haha.

lol I said that almost verbatim earlier.  it would improve the roster.

Well awesome that bodes well if he ever needs to pitch in late October

Yeah...I know...still like him.

Okay, now yank him.

Still pretty sweet to see him throwing 97 at 100 pitches.  But man, get a new pitching coach in here to help him with his repertoire if Cooper can't.

Well that was pointless to let him face Calhoun

Ricky at least showing some common sense to pull Lopez now.

Yeah, but Calhoun can't hit lefties.  Either you get a good matchup against him or you force Texas to PH for him already in the 6th inning.
