Said it this morning. Why is this dude catching a day game after catching a 4 hour marathon last night?

He will be on the bench tomorrow 

How many strikes is Grandall going to look at today?

Does Steve know something about what the front office is thinking or just his opinion about any trades this year?

I would have given him the day off today and had him DH tomorrow. It's very convenient to have that luxury; why not take advantage?

Because Ricky is an idiot. I have no other explanation.

Look, saying that Rodon with no minor league time and as a rookie would be a key piece in the 2015 rotation required a GM who was an idiot, but you couldn’t be surprised about Rodon needing some time, most pitchers do. Cease struggled with command but also got out of jams today. He has what, still fewer than 20 big league starts? Play out the season, get him the experience, and then talk to me after a normal ish offseason of work.

I don’t disagree with you but I’m still seeing with Cease the same nibbling, the same lack of command of his fastball, the same long counts, multiple pitch innings etc. It’s frustrating to watch when your not seeing improvement. His ERA is good but his FIP is awful 

Maybe the Sox go after bullpen help instead of starting pitching?

Renteria clearly seems to not have any trust in Cishek.

DeJong forgot to tag on a ball deep to CF in the Cards game. Frustrating games all around today.

Twinkies are losing 2-1 to the tigers in game 2 of the DH....damn would have been nice to take this one today

That statement did feel sort of like a hint hint to me.

Today is his 20th career start. So yeah that ERA will go up but especially with everything crazy this year his performance will get better. 

Must win game tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing...I wonder what the timeline is for Bummers return?

What did Stone say?

Foster being over used yesterday made him unavailable today which might have changed that 7th inning

Go get em tomorrow. No need to be upset about this one. 

Well....hopefully they get all of the runs out of their system now, I guess...

Well, shit

Someone explain to me again why Grandal is catching again today?

A better question is why does Ricky keep batting him 3rd? Either Abreu, Moncada, or Eloy should be batting 3rd. Yaz should be behind those guys.

Really? Just tuning in?

Basically not to give anything up for someone you will only have for a month.  Benetti did seem to follow up with you would need to get someone that is not just for this year.

Exactly Write it off and STFU.

That most teams aren’t trading prospects for rental help in this fucked up year

Edited August 29, 20205 yr by chisoxt

Wish I had the stats to back it up, but sure seems Grandal calls for a ton of fastballs

Basically that you don’t mortgage the future for 28 games  

So what does KC want for Soler ?
