Uh oh, this ain't gonna be good

Mendick will get enough play time filling in for Moncada. He is a great super sub. Madrigal has a higher ceiling and will take over at 2nd when he is ready.

Fake news.

Umm, it's a joke... Tribune is acknowledging the beatdown the Sox have the Cubs last night

Mazara should not be facing lefties anymore. It has to be Engel. EE bought himself more time with those recent homeruns. Would love to see Collins get more play time against righties

What a great surprise Keuchel has been. Very Mark Buehrle-esque

Check his WAR in recent years and get back to me. Barely above replacement level

Does Jose's stance look slightly different to anybody else? Maybe I'm imagining it

McCann puts that meatball into the bleachers

Lester don't have shit today

I mean, is spin rate the end all be all for breaking pitches? It had some great movement to the naked eye. He could also control it very well.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/a-tale-of-two-pitching-staffs-in-chicago/ Longenhagen summarizes how effective the Cubs starting rotation has been, but their bullpen is garbage. It is the opposite for the Sox. Starters have been meh, while relievers have been outstanding. Longenhagen really likes Matt Foster. Most importantly, Longenhagen likes the Sox chances of making a deep postseason run over the Cubs, due to the dominant and deep bullpen. Go Sox!

Sure, once the players agree to cut their salaries by 1/4 and the owners agree to losing all that extra revenue. Never going to happen.

hoax.

nasty.

I could see Cishek coming back if he wasn't god awful, and if the Sox didn't have a great looking bullpen. Cishek is so bad i can see him getting DFA'd during this season.

EE won't be coming back. Yermin/Collins/Abreu with be the DH/1B tandem until Vaughn is called up.

Lol you must have missed late career Hawk

Abreu is great at making the throw to turn the double play, I'll give him that.

Anything is possible. McCann has been the Sox best hitter behind Anderson. They will need him to make the playoffs and going into the playoffs. Shoot for the world series if you are making the playoffs.

Why the hell would they trade McCann? Sox are competing for a playoff spot this year...

Can Vaughn play RF?

I love James McCann

GIDP?
