I'm sorry, but Velazquez isn't the guy who should get optioned when everyone gets healthy. Trade Hembree. Why do you hate Hembree? He’s a good pitcher who actually strikes guys out back there.

Yeah thinking it over, I could see Wright DFA'D and Smith optioned when Thornburg comes back. That way they can keep everyone but Wright.

Here comes Smith. Let's see what he's got.

E-Rod would look good in a Pawsox uniform for a few weeks

Lol Bucknor is so horrible that it benefited the Sox this time.

I know the calls in that inning were our way but man CB Buckner is a POS!

We have several pitchers with a history of injuries, so it would be foolish to just DFA Wright when you could make space for him on the roster for now. It will be a tough call with several pitchers with options that deserve to stay on the 25-man (Velazquez, Smith, Barnes, ERod), and a few without options that you may not want to lose for nothing (Hembree, Johnson).

One thing I'll say about Tim Neverett is that he has no qualms calling out the umpires when they completely blow calls (I'm on the Left Coast and listening on MLB AtBat at work 90% of the time). I don't recall Dave O'Brien being this vocal about it.

The Sox have depth behind Wright. Who even knows who is Stephen Wright at this point too. He hasn't been the same pitcher since all the injuries started happening.

Nice to see that Bogey hasn’t missed a beat. He really looks like he’s taken the whole skill set he’d developed the past few years, kept the best of it, and molded into something new. And dangerous.

Devers' long swing, over aggressiveness and current Swiss cheese bat is plaguing the sox.
Please give JBJ a hit. God knows he needs it.

Start playing the Bad News Bears theme for the Royals.

There’s no way Velazquez should get optioned in favour of Wright.

21-7. Wow. 6 grand slams. Stellar start to this season for sure. Should be lots of wins in this next stretch.
And...Xander! And Mookie will be back soon. And Pedey is ramping up.
Good times!
