Rodon, Tim, Yoan, and Eloy always get hurt like this. Injuries are a big part of baseball sadly. This season is under a microscope, so it will feel worse than any other.

Darnit!

Ricky said he expects Rodon to play again this year. That's a start.

It's fun to be disappointed when we are losing. I missed that feeling.

Well if he is an on base machine, wouldn't Moncada, Eloy, and Vaughn drive him in at a high rate moving forward? I get your point, but at leadoff he is gonna drive runs in, and be a nightmare for the opposing starter at the beginning of the game. I could see if we lacked talent lower in our order, but we have outstanding bats 1 through 9 moving forward.

I disagree. If Anderson ends up being 7th or 8th and Madrigal is 9th, Robert will have people on in front of him.

we were tanking three of those years and I'm surprised we didn't get 6 in 2016 after starting 23 and 10 or something like that.

In a perfect world Gio is a number 2. He looks like playoff caliber teams second best pitcher.

He is...

ESPN has the Sox 15th but the only gripe I have is the Mets 14th for now. A bunch of 4 and 4 win teams at the time of release and we only swept the Royals. So 14th would have been fair for now.

Why?

Pitchers are always dropping like flies. We notice it more now because we are looking for it. The last few years have seen a lot of our big pitchers go down.

You all need to appreciate this season as it will go down as the greatest season of all time. Here we are in early August and every team in baseball is within 6 games of their division leader. Enjoy the chaos!

He is more tolerable now to me than before, but he is still not someone I listen to.

I still don't know how Robin got deadlocked that quickly after squaring up on Ryan. Maybe Ryan had the Mortal Kombat cheat code.

The regular season doesn't determine the champion though. And they added more playoff teams to ensure they get it right (and make more money). So a change to the draft could make sense if they wanted to do it that way.

To be fair, anyone can be a comedian if the aim to make others laugh.

They may just combine the two years.

So Mendick is the new Yolmer (cheerleader).

Yep and I suppose he can stay at SS until TA comes back.

Let me clarify. The bad teams who don't care and want a high draft pick will be handing guys away. Especially guys that cost money.

I think you can get a solid starter for a fringe prospect this year.

We'd be the 20s Yankees if this were the case. I think we win this one 4 to 3. The key is to be an evader of Hader.

For both teams.

Well we will need another starting pitcher at that point. Maybe we can get a solid guy for a wannabe prospect since it isn't a real season.
