Ironic that nearly everyone else has.

They can't, it's past the deadline.

? you..... were...... right..... Nate Jones to the 60-day? I didn't even think that was a possibility for adding another guy. ?

Frare isn't on the 40 Man, so someone will need to be cut for him to be called up. I'm going to go with: Bummer, Danish, Fulmer, Castillo, and Tilson. Plus Abreu will be back at some point (hopefully).

Brewers are really going "all in" on the dumpster diving.

In that sense, then yes, they absolutely misspoke if they don't bring him up. There's still time left. Until it actually comes from the horses mouth, it's still just all speculation at the end of the day.

I would disagree. The Sox are simply following the rules of the system in place. It's a well know fact that the current CBA is not working out well for the players, and more and more players and agents are making their frustrations heard. All this noise is coming from Eloy's agents - and like you said, they are standing up for their client (as they should). I totally want to see Eloy in a Sox uniform, but it makes a lot of sense for the Sox to wait and approach this from a long-term business perspective. As a fan, I will be both disappointed and angry if the Sox ultimately keep him down because he literally doesn't have anything left to prove. But they are well within the current set of rules to allow them to do this. Every team approaches this in the same way. Will it change in the future? You bet - no way the next CBA doesn't try to negotiate some type of penalty against teams that take advantage and play the service time loophole. Hopefully they call him up, because I honestly don't believe anything Nightingale ever says.

Gameday is saying it has hit 98 a few times. Would love to see the triple digits he's rumored to have in that arm.

Gomez is such trash. Gio deserved a W tonight...

But there's a big difference there. Vieira can't hit the broadside of a barn at times. Burr has more control than he does, and had a better season in the minors. Guy deserves to be put in pressure situations in a lost season.

Cannot believe Gio has done this tonight against the Red Sox. Hell of a job limiting these chowder heads to 1 hit.

Why do I get the feeling this article was put out by his camp to put pressure on the Sox to call him up this weekend? I don’t see how he could win a grievance with the way Moncada, Kopech, and Anderson were handled.

Yep. Probably just a combo of near the end of the year + facing tougher competition.

One player won't stop them from taking players like Hansen. Guy was arguable 1st round talent and fell in that draft. Who knows what's really going on with him. Clearly something is still wrong. That long layoff and injury royally screwed with his mechanics.

Just realized Rodon only has 1 K? Haven't been watching, so what is up with that?

That makes sense. Would go along with something I found on Lopez that says he might benefit to drop him arm angle to get more movement because, if I'm not mistaken, his FB has low spin rate.

Just doing some quick searching, it would have to be pretty high - like .300+ looking at the small sample size I saw. For example, 2017 Chris Davis has a BABIP of .301 and still hit only .215 for the year.

Honestly reminds me a lot of James Loney.

A.J. Preller - the GM of the Padres.

I believe you're also presenting it as too simplistic. These are still human beings, not machines. You would need to have some type of schedule for them so they don't get overused and potentially injured. Advanced statistics are still going to always point you towards your best pitchers, because they are always going to be the most consistent. It's an interesting concept, and I'm sure it's no coincidence the Rays are within the top 10 for ERA, but I wonder what the long-term effects are year to year. Plus relief pitchers tend to be the most volatile in terms of consistency. I could see this type of strategy really imploding certain teams if it started to become more adopted around the league.

AVI!

He heard people talking ill of him...

They won in my MLB the Show 18 Franchise! Whoops...... Thanks for clarifying.

I would, but aren't there rules? They won yesterday, so doesn't the same person do it?

Kind of ironic how the argument can be made that as of right now, Giolito looks like he has a better chance to stick in the rotation than Lopez, given how hot he started off the year.
