Why would any team choose to have Collins over McGuire?

Not sure but I've heard Canada is considering making public indecency a felony.

Day off tomorrow. I imagine Tony might let his back end of the pen throw today to finish the game. I don't necessarily agree with it, but whatever.

Well deserved. Just the first of many dominant appearances.

Crazy hypothetical, and not one I am necessary advocating for with this post, but what is Eloy worth in trade?

If Eloy could bring back a LH RF and a starter, do you pull the trigger?

He's got decent trade value cause his contract is pretty cheap. But I don't see us ever trading him unless he has a continuation of 2021 this year. I'm sure some team that believes in launch angle think they can unlock his true HR potential.

I don't 

There was a thread here last year asking who would be the most productive hitter in the long run for the Sox.  I said Eloy.  It could be Robert but I still think its Eloy imo.

The right hitting coach could absolutely get Eloy to start pulling the ball more and hitting fewer GB's. Hopefully the Sox are smart enough to eventually hire someone like that.

I'd love it if Foster was this years version of a vulture, going something like 8-1.

this is a nice game.

Contract and untapped potential has to be enticing.  I don’t know if it’s enough to snag pieces at the positions we need though.

Menechino is probably good for a guy like Robert who had a bad hit tool. But Eloy is a natural hitter. He doesn't need someone to tell him to swing more controlled. He needs to go up there like Javy Baez and look to destroy the ball in the air. 

Crick will get the W, assuming they hold on.

A good LH RF and a good starter with a few years of control?  Of course, in a heartbeat!

If they don't hold on this board will explode.

Nothing beats "it starts with Dylan Cease" when Rahimi was talking about Joc last year... it's unfair, I know,  but that was so bad she lost all credibility to me

Do Ws still operate this way now that more starters are only going 4-5 innings fairly often? I thought I had heard about the rule being changed to the scorekeeper's discretion.

My kind of game here.

How about we just eliminate the W/L pitcher stat altogether?
