I played a little bit, now I talk a little bit. it’s Baseball all day/everyday. @NESN @RedSox.
Seen/heard opinions on why the Sox would turn down a trade for a Rental Starter with a 4.50 era and a "top prospect" who hit .200 last yr in A, .188 this yr in AA and now out for 3 months with a fractured Back? For 3 1/2 yrs of Duran? Let me think about it for a minute.
BREAKING: Right-hander Seth Lugo and the Kansas City Royals are finalizing a multiyear contract extension, sources tell ESPN. One of the best potential trade candidates this deadline season -- and top free agent arms this winter -- instead will remain in Kansas City.
Crazy. 14 K's in 5ip!!! Do the math
None of the hitters in this video are close to hitting White
I'm sure it will be discussed at some point. He's been that good.
Will we see tolle this year?
Ok. Maybe White is the best LHP prospect in the Minors. Tolle #2?
Thomas White was DOMINANT tonight in Double-A. 5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 14 K #MarlinsBeisbol
Garrett Crochet said he didn’t make any real adjustments after his rough 1st inning, and was annoyed that the @MLBONFOX broadcast kept replaying his “two bad pitches” from the 1st inning: “…FOX had played them 30 times. You’d think that the Dodgers won tonight…” 😂 @WEEI…
They were rumored to be in on Suarez. They got McMahon. You think Yankee fans are happy about the way that played out?
If you don’t think McMahon is a good player and can thrive in Yankee stadium, then you never watched him play.
If Sox picked up McMahon and Amed Rosario what would your reaction be?
Yankees are making moves and we aren’t and we haven’t been making moves for 3 plus years at the deadline… we aren’t a small market club
In his last 10 starts, Garrett Crochet is 8-0 with a 2.44 ERA and 86 K in 66.1 IP. He joins Pedro Martinez and Roger Clemens as the only Red Sox ever to go 8-0 or better with a sub-2.50 ERA and more than 75 strikeouts over a 10-game span.
Red Sox LHP Payton Tolle impressed again tonight: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 69p/48s. Since his promotion to Portland, he’s thrown 23 innings and allowed only 12 hits with 31 K:5 BB. Continued dominance from the soon to be top prospect in the @SoxProspects rankings.
Ceddanne was always swinging a lot when he was hot. The difference? He's fouling off pitches he hit last month. His swing is off. He had his A Swing every night for a month.
Garrett Crochet is the only LHP ever to record a sub-2.25 ERA and 175+ strikeouts in their first 22 outings with a team. Roger Clemens (TOR) and Justin Verlander (HOU) are the only RHP to do that.
So you bunt him over, score him on a Sac Fly and with 2 outs and nobody on base you play for another run? I don't understand what that means.
Important yes, but I still think you have to play for 1 run, and if you get it, then you play for more. Too many times they have gotten zero and it was game over.
Wouldn't that be considered making big moves at the deadline?? What's the cost for a dependable Starter? Starting/impact 1B? AND a Reliever AND a backup Catcher? That's a huge Deadline!!!!
The Red Sox don’t even need to make the biggest move ever at the deadline Just get a dependable starter, a real 1B, and then maybe a backup catcher & more relief pitching
Stop making sense AJ
The bottom of the 11th showed the importance of scoring 2 runs per inning in extras on the road.
