No way! You need to spend at LEAST half your payroll on relievers to have any success.

Hopefully precautionary/very short term for Robert

As half greasy gabagool I am offended

Stayed the whole time. Cease didn’t have that decisive blow I expected. Offense showed up well.

Sitting in the parking lot. Did not expect to see a win. Happy to be wrong.

We’ll, I didn’t expect to see THIS outcome in person…

I think he’s saying some of the guys who were traded contributed to the problems they had. Maybe that’s true, but so far they haven’t fixed s%*#.

Huh. Could have sworn I saw some things when he signed here, but it’s hard to find now with the focus being on his recent comments.

Isn’t it well known that Middleton likes to run his mouth? I’m not doubting they have clubhouse issues and a lack of accountability, but I’m taking it all with a grain of salt. Maybe Middleton should’ve taken some naps to help get back on track when he started sucking.

Ramirez is just salty his team lost the season series to this group of misfits.

I’m gonna be there. I expect to leave early to beat traffic after Cease throws 90 pitches in 4 innings and gives up 5 runs (with a crushing 3 run homer by Stanton after it looked like he could get out of the jam with minimal damage), while Cole strikes out 15 in 7 innings.

Kenny was right about Beckham’s swing

Elvis giveth, Elvis taketh away

Solid start for Scholtens but 2 runs isn’t enough offense. Time to get him out because he’s getting hammered now.

I can't even watch this team right now, and I'm going to the game on Monday against the Yankees. It's gonna be a 10 beer night.

Sox got 3 off Scherzer in the first inning due to some batted ball luck and Scherzer's inability to throw the ball over the plate. Didn't see that coming...

Kim Ng on the Marlins broadcast and mentioned knowing KW for years when asked about how deals come together. Did not mention Rick Hahn.

People love homers. Daniel Palka was SUPER popular when he had an ok year.

Plenty of time for Cleveland to win the division and have a "f*** that Boob" chant, but I don't disagree with him.

You're not kidding. 3.2 innings, 9 runs. Yeesh.

I like Jake Burger a lot. Great story. He has terrible plate discipline and can't recognize off speed except for hangers. Can he improve on these issues? Sure. I hope he does. Do I think it's likely over a full season? No. I think he's a mid-700 OPS DH carried by his SLG. Did the Sox sell relatively high on a guy they likely didn't have long-term confidence in? Yes. That said, I'm going to be watching a lot more Marlins games now.

C. Most of the moves were solid value but those players are a couple years away. My rank could go higher or lower depending on what leaks about the Cease offers.
