Blackout Friday

He had to move Yonder down and I just don’t see any other viable alternatives.

I would guess they have him pegged as a reliever in any long term plans they may have for him and are just trying to get him some innings to work on stuff.

I want to pretend this is stupid and I’m not interested, but this is fantastic and has greatly enriched my day.

Yeah, it looks like a lot of moving parts. Too much, really. But some guys make it work, and obviously he has been one of them up until now.

I like Abrams third best of the players in this year’s draft as it is, so if he’s third off the board and we get some saving to boot, I think that’s a good start.

Hard to believe. According to my math, Jansen will never have an OPS over .550.

It’s .886 right now. So, yeah, If say it’s in the realm of possibilities.

That would be my guess

George Springer just left the game with an injury. I hope it isn’t serious, but if he wants to miss a few games, I’d be ok with it.

Struck out the side for the 6th. Might be done for the day, but what a day it was. Good for him.

It was a joke.

So...an upgrade?

I’m still surprised they didn’t offer him a front office position.

What’s going on with him? I haven’t really heard anything.

Of course they have a say, but they aren’t getting looks at anybody after the first round and maybe second round unless it’s a special circumstance. So if you’re evaluating drafts with 50 rounds of picks, I think that’s worth noting.

Should also be noted that almost all draft prep is overseen by the scouting director, not the gm.

Chris carter had a decent run

At the game. Second row behind jays dugout. Go Sox.

Wasn’t really a dumpster dive. If anything he was signed for what was perceived as above market value for him. It has definitely worked out though. You couldn’t possibly ask for a better start.

Something funny that may have gone unnoticed on that last play to end the inning. Tim fired a bullet to Abreu for whatever reason, and Abreu just kind of looked at him and fired the ball back at him as they cut away.

When you have Delmonico batting behind you, you get 3-1 sliders And that 3-2 call was something special.

There’s too many variables in the game for “absolutes” like this. A manager needs to weigh those variables and make a decision. Some managers are better at it than others.

I’ll be there. Second row behind the Jays dugout. Hopefully a good game.

I just don’t get why you take out Fry in that situation and turn Ramirez around to his stronger side/make it easier for Lindor to run. Fry didn’t look taxed at all.

Hot take
