Lynn’s a bum! Don’t trade for him!!

Hopefully they won’t be helping an AL team this season. I mean, yeah, if the return is incredible...

I can hear Hahn now... ”So I called Jon and told him you can have X, and to get him off the mound now, please.”

Sox lose and move from the 7 to the 4 seed. Not bad.

Nasty pitches. wow

Ok, that’s enough Burdi. Back to Schaumburg.

You know what they say... there’s a fine line between aggressive and stupid. He’s learning.

Still aggressive. Um, ok, Nick.

I’d be ok never seeing that clip of Madrigal separating his shoulder again. What a dumb play. Base hit!!

Is Eugenio four or five syllables?

Royals definitely have a nice pitching stable in progress.

Christ sake ump

The starting nine...they might as well bat around in the first.

I’d like to get Mendick and McCann at-bats by trading EE to an NL team. If needed, Vaughn is there to be brought up.

Morosi throw everything at the wall, that’s for sure.

1981 and 2020 are nothing alike. This will always be an asterisk season, much more than 1981. If the final four in each league are eight teams that won divisions or 35+ games in the regular season, then it becomes a smaller asterisk. But it’s good for baseball that they’re still going and the players there are trying to win.

There will be a trade that hurts in the next couple years, but if it means 95+ win seasons, ALCSs, World Series, and maybe a parade someday...you do it.

Cough, cough, cough...smoky in here... Lynn>Bundy>Ray

I’d trade Kopech over Dunning too, if given a choice.

You gotta give to get, and Lynn is under contract next season. If they were only trading for a chance to win in this asterisk season, I'd definitely be against it.

Not unusual for the Sox to not announce a starter that's not on the active roster, but it doesn't mean Dunning couldn't be traded for Lance Lynn today either.

Yes, first game with this 9. Dyson and Madrigal don’t have their numbers updated from yesterday’s 42-fest. Not sure if Nick is already giving up 1, but stranger things have happened.

1. Min 20-12 (3-seed) 4-3 vs Cle; 2-1 vs Sox 2. Cle 20-12 (4-seed) 4-2 vs Sox 3. Sox 20-12 (7-seed)

Still the 7-seed, but if it comes down to a 4th tiebreaker scenario, the Sox just clinched it.
