Loads of potential but can he stay healthy??

With the lack of power on this team, the Sox absolutely cannot afford to give up on Eloy. You just have to hope he can stay healthy at some point.

Getting a split after Friday's Lucas Fiasco will be huge at this point.

However, that's 4 less game off the schedule now.   Winning series from here on out is almost a must.

BTW, I like the sound of Lucas Fiasco (for those hip hop fans on here).

Playing .500 ball isn't going to cut it. Sox need to start putting up some 7-3 stretches here.

Is Zavala drunk? Between his at bats, and his inability to catch a fucking baseball, it sure looks like it.

Who knew I'd see Conor McKnight before Miguel Cairo this season.

TLR ball.  Save some legs for the playoffs that may not come.  Putting the cart before the horse.

Pretty wild that out of the eight legit prospects we got for Sale, Quintana, & Eaton that Cease has hands down developed into the best player.  Kid a fucking stud and hopefully we can give him a chance to dominate in October.

Another HR off Bieber, but at least Bieber will outlast Cease today. 

That's what a real ace does. Give up 6 but pitch 7.

Let Jimmy throw another inning

If Eloy can start staying healthy, the Q trade was better than Sale trade....although Kopech might make Cease like strides next season so who knows.

Fully agree…just need to start DHing him far more in hopes of keeping him healthier.

Can I say, this has been one very nice defensive game by the Sox.  Shocking.

Well, outside of the catcher wearing a ping pong paddle for a glove.

Bieber is heading in the same path so many great Indians/Guardians pitchers have gone where they squeeze every ounce of their productivity during their cheap years and then they walk away with nothing the rest of their careers. 

Indians treat SPs like NFL running backs, and it's the right way to go.

The Indians run the bases like their hair is on fire.   I wish we had that. 

Guardians

Yup, I almost posted the same on Kopech.  He just needs another year to get his arm ready for the rigors of a full season.

Well, looks like Cease > Bieber today after all.

I don't see it this way. He got fired like all managers do. The Britt Burns only seems like a bad idea in modern baseball.  Managers use to let their aces go 10.  He just put it in the player's wheelhouse.

Just joining back in.....I didn't know Tito Landrum had a wheelhouse before that game because he hadn't hit a HR all year.  No, Brit was tired and should have been pulled, I remember it clearly and it was all on Tony, of course Dibinski's base running blunder didn't help in the bottom of the10th.

That's a Jeff Smardzjia start...give up 5-7 runs in the first 2 innings then shut them down for 5 more innings.....

its infuriating, the Braves of last year didnt sit anyone ever.

Isn’t this one reason why the best players get paid the big bucks?  Certainly, not to grab some bench often.

I’m thinking Yoan and Seby had late nights last night

Maybe they just need to rest.

They keep throwing Naylor high fastballs and he keeps getting good hacks. I dont get it.....

Feel like Naylor has gotten a couple hits up the middle against that shift this series

Come on Graveman
