Carlos Carrasco is totally washed up.  Wow is he bad.

They are the oldest team across The MLB (Age 31.2 entering 2023), and it shows. Can't build a winning team that way, need a mix of veterans and solid young players.

Probably. But he's gonna get a W against this shitass team. 

Sox need to comeback to avoid losing ground to both Cleveland (up 8-0) and Detroit (2-0 at KC), with the Twins in Seattle.

Jerry just wants to finish 2nd or 3rd. Mission accomplished.

Latest Mets announcer jab: "these guys swing at everything, doesn't hurt to bounce one in there and see if they'll stake a stab at it"

Follow-up, "highest swing rate and highest chase rate in major league baseball"

WERE #1!

Just awfulness by Lucas tonight

Yeah, at least if you cancel out the disappointing 1B, the Tigers at least have Mize and Greene over Nick Madrigal/Crochet/Burger.

His lack of power this year is so disheartening

If you look at the two biggest Central acquisitions, both Baez and Correa have been awful.

But we're well behind the division in farm system rankings, too.

 

It would be beyond ridiculous if the Guardians won again with McKenzie and now Bieber out with injuries.

They need to keep Giolito's ERA under 4 at least....

Brian Shaw LMAO.

Shaw in, Sox are conceding.

Trying to keep Shaw's under 15

How is he still in the majors?  

Shortest outing of season for Lucas.

Well rested for next start with another team at least.

Look what team he is on.  There’s your answer.

26th/29th ranked farm system...especially AA/AAA.

Not sure it would matter if they only drafted pitchers every year.

Alvarez has (quietly) been one of the best rookies in baseball the last six weeks or so.. .

Tim reached all three times tonight, 6 for 14 to start the second half. Nice to see.

Timmy looks really good tonight 

This umpire has been awful tonight
