Would not surprise me.  The boys look to be rounding into shape.

If this is sarcasm, you nailed it.  If not, I hope those bath salts don’t kill you.

Flexen and Soroka should be shoveling manure somewhere. Nice work Chris.

Wait, I thought Flexen had trade value or something?  ?

Unfortunately, by the time we get to the deadline, guys like Sheets, Pham, and DeJong will be closer to a .700 OPS than an .800 OPS and they aren’t going to garner much.

We have two good trade chips and Kopech.  Hopefully, Getz can get something for them.

I tried to be patient, but Schriffen ain’t it. This guy sucks. 

Saw where Crochet was leading or  tied for the MLB strikeout lead as of yesterday...

Not counting Fedde?

Or assuming no Robert or Crochet trades due to hard to properly establish valuations?

What is he doing tonight?  Sulking?  Complaining about the heat?

 

Amazingly, Lopez still outhitting Benintendi.

He’s just annoying.

I’m assuming Robert won’t get dealt cuz no team will meet the demands.  I think Fedde, Crochet, and Kopech will be traded.  So yeah, we have 3 good trade chips and Kopech.

Chris Sale 9-2, 2.98

20 game winner?

Great callout.  This will likely be another reason no team will ever give up a haul for a top pitcher at the deadline.  Vaughn Grissom…  lol.  The Red Sox picked up $17 million of Sale’s $19 million dollar salary and got back a younger Romy Gonzalez from the Braves.

Flexin is washed. He probably survives until Clevinger comes back.

No, he has trade value.  What’s his FIP?

Huh? What does this have to do with Flexin getting DFA'd when Clevinger comes off the IL?

ketel marte fooling the cameraman has been the most entertaining part of this game.

It’s 100% sarcasm.  Some homer posters on this site were trying to argue that Flexen actually had some trade value once he moved from full-time starter to part-time starter / long relief.

This team is 100% breaking the loss record.

Off the hook, phew.

It was a valiant effort but our team proved too much for you in its badness.  Thank you for your service.

Boy those vets on the Sox sure are getting it done with the glove! If you're scoring at home we currently have the worst LF, SS and RF anc C in MLB. Fangraphs and this ranking both hate Lee's defense, which I guess is 'cause framing?

Vaughn at first is not too much to talk home about either.  I believe he is also too short for a 1B.  He could not grab a high chopper at first tonight.

And paired up with Gordo was even more painful to hear.

Whatever happened to the most positive sox fan ever, El Rockin? Is he OK? 

Bad loss tonight. 7-1 beatdown. Had to be awful watching it.

Hope in one hand s%*# in the other see which one fills up faster. We do have some good chips but getz won't be the man to get the most for them.

But, here is hoping.

That sucks. He just wouldn't ever be negative about the Sox. Positive at all times. The Sox pretty much got to the rest of us.
