Robert had a 2 RBI single and steal to seal the Sox win last night.


Funny video with some highlights...

Has anyone seen Yoenis Céspedes?

I understand him opting out due to the 'rona, but c'mon man, make that phone call first.

Yasiel Puig is missing too.

He apparently has the flu...and it voided his trade to the Braves, but he's been missing ever since.

Someone's gotta sign him for the stretch run.

Atlanta Braves ace Mike Soroka done for season with torn Achilles

Just brutal...

Cole hamel up in the air too. Call me crazy, but I’d check around for solid arms available. The offense is good enough to carry team...but you need a top line guy

Max Fried is now the only starter that can pitch more than 5 innings. All the other guys make it 3 or 4 innings before they're pulled. Most of them can't throw strikes so their pitch counts are always sky high. Season is ruined.

deGrom is such a stud, love watching him pitch

[Monkeydad]

Braves can't catch a break.

Puig gets COVID and the trade is voided.

Hamels done for season basically.

Felix Hernandez opted out.

Soroka.

And did you see Foltynewicz? It looks like he lost significant weight since last season, like he was really sick (COVID?) He also lost a ton of velocity and they sent him down after a disaster on the mound.

2020





2019

^^^^^^

Yeah it looks like he lost 20lbs. 20lbs he didn't have to lose.

I’m actually in a couple fantasy baseball leagues and drafted high enough to take him in both leagues. After he had back to back years of just flat out raking I thought he would be a safe choice.

Os Alex Cobb -- hopefully he keeps pitching well and we can flip him for some prospects.

is there a trade deadline this season?
