It'll be interesting to see how well Phegley catches Sale.

Good quote from Robin:

RV on Phegley catching Sale: "It's kind of like the first time you get the keys to a really good car. Don't crash it."

One game closer to the firesale. Keep pushing!

Phegley already described Sale's slider as the most wicked pitch he has caught as a catcher.

Sox scored a point.

Single, double, 1-0 Sox.

 

Nice start.

Adam Dunn is probably the only .210 hitter who gets intentionally walked in the first inning.

Ramirez is hitting the ball pretty well lately. Need to trade him! lol

Considering his reputation for actually catching the ball, if you could sit behind home plate today, you might get to know Mr. Phegley quite well by the end of the afternoon.

That's his 22nd 2B of the year, putting him on pace for 40. His previous high is only 31.

Usually the sign of a middle infielder getting older and less athletic.

 

Yeah, it's time to deal him. I can admit I was wrong on that one.

Even though Beckham struck out there, he has looked really good. Would like him swapped with Keppinger in the line up. Give him more RBI chances

Well that didn't last long.

We definitely need to field some offers for Sale. See what he can get us.

Almost a triple play. Instead Teo's girlfriend goes deep oppo field.

Lol

No sense wasting his talent on a team that isn't going to win. If we could get a huge haul for him, AND he can go on to be useful for a contender, I think everyone wins.

Not to mention his uber-team-friendly contract makes him even more valuable.

Damn, by the time Gameday switched innings, we already had 2 outs

Yeah let's trade one of the most valued starters in the game with the best contract through 2019. The Sox are rebuilding. He is that project.

Lol, so someone has a different opinion and you go into dick mode.

 

I'm all for trading him if he's going to give us 4-5 pieces to actually rebuild around.

Sale's velocity not so nice right now.

Lol, so someone has a differendiscussion nion and you go into dick mode.

I didn't mean go into dick mode. I legitimately thought you were joking. Anyways I don't think the discussion is worth it sincd unless you're Getting Trout back, you aren't getting fair value and the Sox know that.
