Lynn vs Pineda.

Do we get Zavala today, or with the off day tomorrow does Collins do the night-day double?

TLR said Zavala will be catching today, and Engel is supposed to be activated and starting.

Engel is a sight for sore eyes.

 

You’ll see Zavala, since Collins hasn’t had a day off since June. Besides, I don’t think Lance Lynn gives a shit who is catching, he just rears back and throws.

I expect Collins to stick with Rodon and Giolito, and add Cease to his rotation, leaving Zalava with Lynn and Keuchel. That is unless Dallas raises a stink, which he is apt to do.

Hoping Engel is truly “healed”, not like last time with his every other day availability. The Sox could sure use a MLB capable CFer beyond Billy Hamilton’s limited role.

 

Pineda always pitches well against us.......I was hoping it would be Happ.

He is coming off an elbow issue, so hopefully he is rusty and Sox jump on him early. 

Hopefully we get a productive game or 2 out of Engel before he back on the DL with a hamgstring issue next week.

Yoan out. I was hoping Collins would get a start at DH to build on his good night at the plate. Lefties are much better vs. Pineda. 

 

Zavala was 1-12, 9 K in 2019. He made his debut at Target Field.

Zavala has no hit tool. Here's to hoping he gets a start or 2 a week to give Collins a breather. 

I wish they would sit Moncada through the break.  Gives him a good week off.

Lineup keeps getting more and more depressing but we don't really have any other options at this point

If Pineda is ever going to throw a no hitter, today is his chance. 

Glad we are sitting Collins vs a RHP, after his good day yesterday.

Because baseball makes no sense sometimes, Sox put up 8 runs. Lynn does his thing. 

Rays up early on Indians 3-1 in 7-inning game

If you could re-sign Lynn for 2/45 with a club option for a 3rd year at $20M or Rodon at 4/72 straight up which would you choose?

He's been taking a beating behind the plate, so I'm okay with a day of rest. Need I remind you of how screwed we are if we lose him too?

EDIT: I assumed your post was sarcastic. But now I realize you might actually agree with the day of rest.

Pass on both.

Lynn.  I wouldn't want to make a 4-year bet on Carlos's health.

Really? That's what I think those guys are going to get this winter. 

I really don't trust the other 3 pitchers right now all that much. I think Giolito's just having a bad year but that's just me being optimistic.

If his injuries are truly behind him that's a steal of a contract though for the pitcher he's been this year. 

Timmy is back.

 

Right as TA hit his single, Kiermaier put the Rays up 6-1 with a 3 run homer. It was pretty much simultaneous. 

Rays up 6-1
