I wonder who the Dodgers will have to give up so the Cardinals can get him next trade deadline.

They are considering this to increase offense. Instead, why don’t they just impose a 90 mph speed limit? Throw harder than that, you get a ticket..

This is idiotic. Teams have found non-traditional tactics to win games, and the league’s response is to say, “No, there’s only one right way to win a baseball game.” Sports should welcome a diversity of skills and strategies, imho.

Grifol did almost as much damage to the org as he did to his own career.

Leone is the guy of everyone that I understand the least. It’s not like he’s been any good on the rare occasions he’s been healthy. And it’s not like it would matter if he was.

Colas just hit a HR.

Right now Colas is struggling in AAA. DeLoach is actually swinging it better of the two.

Knights score 4 in the 1st. Double for Ramos, triple for Montgomery. Mason Adams gave up a weak single, then with 2 outs inexplicably walked 3 straight guys. It’s 4-1.

Really? I think the headline is "my parole officer," but that's just me.

This is an entire, scrape-the-rotting-edifice-off-the-earth, complete and total tear down. If you listen to the latest BA podcast on AL Central organizations, the Sox are pretty much considered the worst org in baseball with a farm system bereft of positional talent. They basically say the only possible impact bat is Wolkow, but the odds against him are pretty high. If Getz sets up a new international regime and improves instruction, that will help subsequent teams regardless of the owner. To get this org to average is going to take a long time regardless of the ownership structure.

The guy who is looking better down there, honestly, is Ramos. But I suppose he’s blocked as they work out whether or not Vargas can hit. What a catastrophe that trade is.

Ha ha. Just from an entertainment perspective, it would be nice to see him slap the ball around and run. No one on the Sox plays with his level of enjoyment.

2 run HR for Moore. Man, he may be the real deal. Had a great season in the SEC, but there were doubters come draft time. A lot of people think the Angels reached. Maybe not.

Veras and Gladney went back-to-back for the Barons. I know it's early, but Christian Moore is destroying AA pitching for the Angels.

He has 2 walks tonight. Last one after a terrific 9-pitch at bat. But the guy does not throw hard.

No Quero in the Knights line up. Probably nothing, but odd that he isn't even at DH.

For sure, but this may or may not apply to Thorpe. He had 5 consecutive great starts, then his arm starts hurting, then he gets lit twice. Could be the league adjusted. Could be he was injured. Once he gets healthy again, they'll just have to run him out there and see what the truth is.

So glad they took Tosar’s rec on Vargas two weeks before firing him.

I think it may be an attempt to spare Pedro’s feelings by making separate announcements. Some might even say it is classy. But, yeah, pretty unusual.

I get no joy from all the joy I feel from this finally happening.

I have explained who I would call up. I certainly would not have put Touki in with the lead in a game, but that's just me.

Anthony Hoopii Tuionetoa, reliever the Sox acquired from Texas for Grossman. He and Coffey have to be added to the 40 man in the offseason. Have no idea why they aren't getting a shot in the majors.

I just don't understand rostering Touki. He was bad in AAA, he's bad in mlb. He simply does not throw enough strikes. I'll agree there's some bad batted ball luck in this inning, but there are guys in the minors who have better stuff.
