Rodon regressing was not part of the plan going into August. 

 

Well, it should have been.  The guy hasn't thrown 100 IP in a season since 2018.

Sox got Tepera

That's nice, but if it's for Lopez that's going to make it hard to get 8 innings pitched today.

You mean like everyone expressing concern about how many innings he was on pace to throw?  This is a big reason many wanted Kopech to get some starts.

Yes, but the Sox needs him to pitch the 8th with a four run lead. Win today, Kopech can start when/if Tony ever leaves.

For all you whiners - this lineup is adding 3 guys with legit 30 HR power (some even more) + a guy on pace for 20+ homers in Hernandez.  Yeah - lets worry about the last week where the team that has been playing down half of its starting lineup finally hit a small slump.  And lets not even forget the fact that getting those bats back in the lineup will strengthen the depth of the team and make its other top players better (i.e., Anderson/Moncada/Abreu get protection/less pressure on them).  

Everyone on here really unerestimates how much talent this team will get back over next few weeks (Eloy here; Hernandez here tomorrow (not on same par as others), Robert (soon), Grandall (sooner).  

August is a tough schedule and people are going to absolutely meltdown around here when they lose games to good teams. 

Carlos got up to 97.

Gotta love Goodwin effort on that one but? his agent must have a picture of Tony, Hahn and Williams in compromising situations.

Hasn’t that been happening all year?

Time to let the trade winds carry me away from this game. See ya folks!

The bigger concern should be our sp arms getting tired considering last years low usage and past injuries.

That's my only concern right now...I think Rodon needs to have an "injury" and take a few weeks off.

This - it is why I have said if I were to make moves - I would be adding an arm - I would go for Scherzer or something like that vs. anything else (if I was going to use legit resources) - because I doubt whether Rodon (who I am one of the biggest fans of on this entire board) - can possibly maintain that workload. It would be nice - just can't bank on it.  That said I still think this team is as well positioned as anyone in baseball to win the series.

Sorry.......I'm a bit behind......is this real of being facetious?!

Yoan looks lost at the plate. Late on fastball and not picking up offspeed stuff

Should have planned better and pushed Rodon back a few days

Good thing we decided to make these trades today. Otherwise I'd be fuming at us throwing this game away. 

Yoan strikes out with a man on 2nd........................That OPS/batting av./all the other fancy stats are going to take a hit for him for his runners in scoring position.

It's cool......he just doesn't get enough opportunities with men in scoring position.  

 

44 RBI's stay at 44

He's joking.

Hopefully - we will see Rey Lo look electric later today.
