Because you let the kid in Mendick have a shot while there is a shot to give. Major league opportunities are going to be harder to come by in 2020 and beyond. You don't waste these opportunities on AAAA players in their 30s like Goins.

Goins has an OPS+ over 64 across over 1,500 MLB PA. If they call him up, we need to riot.

Definitely a pitcher for tomorrow. And then I bet Mendick for Anderson.

Lol, such a Lip response.

YAY!!! They did it.

I'd like to see Kubat. I bet we see Justin Nicolino though.

I had to jump on a conference call right as Leury got thrown out stealing 2B. Thought the game was over. Couldn't believe my eyes when I reopened the window to see Jose in a post game interview. Mercy!

Good lord, just leave Alonso in Boston.

Alonso will be DFA'd when Castillo returns. I am fairly certain of that. He may be gone before that.

3 SP on the current roster. Nova announced for Saturday, Gio for Sunday. Lopez going today. Santiago pitched yesterday and Detwiler on Monday. Covey making a rehab start tonight for Charlotte. Is #Ceaseday finally going to come. Frankly, he hasn't pitched well for about a month now. I doubt they go bullpen game 2 out of 3 games. He hasn't pitched since last Friday. It almost has to be Cease....right?

Yah I disagree. Even if Garcia is playing SS, we could use another IF. I don't htink they plan to keep Leury in the infield everyday now either. I do think Collins will stay when Castillo returns - Collins Dhs again RHP (occasional start at C), Castillo DHs against LHP (occasional start at C), McCann catches 5 days a week (occasional start at DH). I actually think it works quite well. I do agree that the Sox are carrying an extra reliever and option Fulmer or Ruiz, or DFA Osich. But that only solves 1 of the 2 rotation openings. Sox may able to get by through the ASG with 4 starts though. Bottom line is that Palka likely isn't really that close to getting recalled.

The Sox have 3 SP on the active roster. That will be addressed before bringing up Palka. They are also very short on infielders, so I imagine Mendick would be next. Then you have Castillo who needs to return from the IL in a week or so. Then maybe Palka gets his chance again. He's a bit down the pecking order, and wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him until September, unless there are several more injuries.

I don't think we have anyone on the bench but Collins. So not really an option.

So far so good. Nice to have him in the lineup so far.

Its nice to have another real major leaguer on the team.

Lol at that bunt. Ricky gonna Ricky.

Full slot value.

I can't wait until Ricky is gone. Seems like a good clubhouse guy, but he's just so insufferably bad at in-game management and making lineups its pathetic.

Any update on Lambert? Was the TJS speculation premature?

Dissenters are going to dissent. Until the Sox change prove them wrong, they aren't going to change their tune. Even then, they'll still find something to complain about. Probably that they paid too much!

Meh, if anything, it gives me some hope that they think Anderson's injury may be minor enough that he doesn't need an IL stint.

Yah, I agree. I could see it being Covey or Santiago, though. Still only 3 SP on the active roster and that obviously needs to change.

I once played catch with James Baldwin in the LF corner before a game when I was a little kid. That was pretty awesome.

I will be so disappointed if Escobar or Goins are the who they bring up.
