Decent 1.29 WHIP, and it would be lower, but for the familiar 5.4 BB//9 Carson Fulmer is on the Angels???
June 7, 20241 yr What would the Sox record be with Rodon, Reynaldo, Dunning, Cease, Bassitt, Sale....be as the starting six? At least 10-15 games below .500 with this current offense, but not a catastrophic failure of a team.

June 8, 20241 yr Miami Marlins’ Tim Anderson Hits Bereavement List, Won’t Get Rematch With José Ramírez Tim Anderson was suspended six games for fighting Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez in 2023, but the Miami Marlins shortstop won't be active for the rematch on Friday. Anderson is batting .188 with zero home runs, six RBI, three stolen bases, a .427 OPS and a -1.2 WAR through 48 games in 2024. He also missed time with back and thumb injuries earlier this season, as well as an illness. Edited June 8, 20241 yr by caulfield12
June 11, 20241 yr Carlos Rodon down to a 2.93 ERA and will likely get another W with the Yankees at KC leading 4-1 late.
June 14, 20241 yr https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/06/astros-release-jose-abreu.html Quote Astros Release Jose Abreu The Astros announced Friday that they’ve released first baseman Jose Abreu. The former American League Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player is in the second season of a three-year, $58.5MM contract. Houston will eat the remainder of the money still owed to Abreu on that deal. A corresponding move will be announced by the club later today.

June 16, 20241 yr Rough one for Cease against the Mets today: 3.2IP, 7H (2HR), 7ER, 3BB, 5K. He's been in a bit of a rough stretch overall lately, with a 6.37 ERA (26ER in 37.1IP) and 1.50 WHIP over his last 7 starts. Getting burned by the long ball.

Highly unlikely they trade him anyway with the injuries to Darvish/Musgrove and still right smack dab in the middle of the WC race.

June 19, 20241 yr 4 hours ago, chitownsportsfan said: Holy s%*# TA has -.8 fWAR and a wRC+ of 40. He has AN ISO OF .015. .015! Burger looking a little better. He was at a .615 OPS and climbing recently, for a team like the Marlins, that's not bad enough to send him down or give up on him. Although they already ate the Avi Garcia contract, and likely will soon with Anderson, Burger will get regular playing time for at least the rest of this season to fight his way out of it. If you're an Andrew Vaughn fan, for example, there's always going to be a similar Burger Bash tear just around the corner that will push his OPS at least into the 700's. Burger is not one of the worst players in baseball bad with how dominant the pitching has been in numerous aspects this season. Edited June 19, 20241 yr by caulfield12
June 20, 20241 yr Kimbrel now 16/20 saves/svo 2.70 ERA Blowing a big one tonight against the Yankees, though.

I think it helped to lose the game if I am remembering correctly. Good times.
June 29, 20241 yr https://www.si.com/mlb/padres/san-diego-padres-news/padres-fernando-tatis-jr-could-need-months-to-recover-report-01j18p57ts5e The curse continues with anyone connected to Sox…this writer shouldn’t be suggesting a stress reaction in the leg will have a player out for months, but who knows? Ptac?
June 29, 20241 yr Congrats to former Sox PHP Bailey Horn for recording his first career MLB strikeout with Boston. We hardly knew ye.
June 30, 20241 yr Not a great year healthwise for the backend of the 2023 Sox pen. Gregory Santos has been out all year, but is headed for a rehab assignment in AAA next week. Joe Kelly has been out since May, and can't return until July 6th at the earliest. Middleton and Graveman both out for the season without having thrown a pitch.
