WilliamTell Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Shouldn't McCann or Grandal be catching Dunning in his debut? Maybe Collins has caught him in the minors? Either way I'd prefer a veteran catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take up to a week or two lol. This just screams "we were doing the right thing but now Robert is down and we don't want to start Gonzalez."

This has been said ad nauseam in this thread, but Grandal's back is acting up and the Sox play a day game tomorrow with Giolito on the mound. The Sox would prefer McCann catch Giolito I am guessing; given Collins' history catching Dunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine they're at "2 negative tests since exposure". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably had 2 negative Covid tests so that's good enough to come off the IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don't know that the incubation period hasn't ended. If it was last Wednesday he was exposed to a person, the person tested positive on Saturday, it's been a week since his exposure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hosmer telling the other team he'll tell Tatis he was wrong to. What an embarrassment both TIngler and Hosmer are; Tatis should have laughed in both their faces. Tingler tried to backtrack off his comments yesterday after he took all the heat. If I played for him, I'd never listen to a word he had to say ever again. The ONLY thing I ever expected from my coaches was to have my back publicly. Here is a thought...how about Woodward has a talk with his pitcher to not fall behind a guy 3-0 with the bases loaded. #freetatis #tatisbacktopalehose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other stuff is just icing on the cake. I certainly don't think managers win or lose anywhere near as many games as some here do. If you read game threads, more than half the losses are Rick's fault and not the players who didn't execute. We do agree on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
