Last year their O/U was 4.5. I bet $100 on the over. If I know anyone going to Vegas I’ll definitely do it again. This team is on the rise.

They won a ton of games with Robertson so I understand your view. My point was spending tons of money in the offseason didn’t work for the Sox and it doesn’t work much at all anymore, so going this route really is the only route they could have gone.

I think when an organization is intentionally losing, it’s a hard pill to swallow from the FO’s point of view because it’s essentially admitting that the prior 10 years were of poor effort and terrible work by the organization, signing 30 year olds and trying to fill gaps all the while not developing any young players. Thankfully (hopefully) in 2 years, they’ll be a contender each year for the next decade, but they weren’t going to accomplish consistent success by continuing to sign the Melky Cabreras and David Robertsons of the world. That’s not how teams win.

Couldn’t Castillo play C and Narvaez go to the bench?

Engel should be coming in to PR, and Castillo should be coming in to PH

Anybody else think Escobar looks almost exactly like the main pirate in Captain Phillips with Tom Hanks?

Moncada’s about to go deep

Big game from Leury

In all seriousness, that entire call by Benetti was badass

Relax, Luis. You’ve never won a World Series

Are you at this game? I believe it was you who said you were at a KC game a day or two ago

Really good idea when you’re trying to lose. I probably couldn’t, but everytime I watch him pitch, I think to myself that I could probably get a hit off of him

Didn’t like the double clap by Perez after that hit. While I think someone should say something to him about it, he did win a World Series once and so that makes him immune to anything of the sorts

Thompson’s stance is almost like Griffey’s was except RH obviously

I’m sure that initial sprint off of second base upset Perez. There’s just got to be an unwritten rule about that

Probably angry af

AM 720

Hope Perez didn’t mind Palka watching his double

I think he’s an OT

That ball was obliterated

BTW, since you closed the thread, I believe a player has to appear in 43 games before they’re eligible for the MLB pension. Covey is at 19 or 20, I think.

Stone: “Kennedy’s not going to strike out a lot of our guys today.” *strikes out the side in the 1st*

Hopefully that hand to head gesture that Delmonico made toward the Sox dugout doesn’t offend any Royals players. I’d hate to see the benches clear again

Is that Pat Mahomes sitting 2-3 rows behind the Sox dugout?

Fixed
