Grandal finally over 200 at .203.

Reynaldo/Keuchel controversy.   Doubt TLR is going to mess with that unless Keuchel gets rocked his next two starts, as well.

Grandal now hitting .203 with a .876 OPS. He started the day around .820.

Sox are going to get 30+ homers from the catching spot this year

Yaz sucks. His absence was meaningless.

Just wait until they trade for Chapman at the winter meetings

Yaz a 145 wRC+.  Second to robert on the team

That's just insane. He's part of the completion of the rebuild. He's one of the reasons they will win 1-3 WS titles with this group.

I want the Yankees and I want them now.

He's no mccann

There are like 4 catchers on the planet that are above average at hitting and with the glove. Crazy to me how underappreciated he is by such a large section of the fanbase.

Grandal had 0.4 WAR in this game alone. Started the day at 1.7 and is now at 2.1. 

I wonder if they were lining Kimbrel up for the save tonight? Seems as if the 9th was his the entire way.

Why is Kimbrel in

It's a joke, as ray ray hates using resources for bullpen guys

I love Tony but no reason to have Kimbrel in now.

I know Kimbrel was warm, but why waste him in a 7 run game?

To see if his mechanical tweaks are still working

It didn't go over my head!

Amazing what Yaz has done offensively this year given that he played most of the year on one leg

Nice. I almost always agree with your posts and was shocked.

I think LaRussa will give him all the rope to hang himself and leave no doubt to why he won't participate in October. 

Kimbrel still has no glove side command with his fastball

Wasted appearance for CK

He warmed up, he almost  had no choice.

So far, it doesn't look like it. 

24 Sox outs. 10 made by Hernandez and Garcia. Pretty hard for 2 guys to make 40% of the outs in a game.
