Truly hope we're leverage for the Nats deal. The timing makes no sense to me - like Dombrowski wasted Papi's last playoff run on purpose, softening the blow of prospect loss by spreading out his decimation of the farm system. Not to overreact too harshly, Sale is one hell of a player, but this is a move you make instead of the Pomz deal, to me, I guess Someone needs to take a walk the come back to the keyboard. LOL, I'm ok. Deal's done. Not the end of the world, just exactly what most of us predicted. Ill-timed moves for short-term gains, for the win

Dbacks have acquired Taijuan Walker and Ketel Marte from the Mariners in exchange for Jean Segura, Mitch Haniger, and Zac Curtis. Initial reaction is they should have held on to "Sky"Walker, but that may be the days of OOTP talking. Haniger could be a nice hitting OF.

Hanley's bat flip after drawing that walk was really... something.

Some hero on reddit compiled a list of (almost) all the outfield celebration dances from this season. Just to cheer all y'all homies up: https://www.reddit.com/r/redsox/comments/52n4au/dance_gifs/
Count me among the believers in Pomz- nobody's perfect every start. Going to the bullpen can't hurt as much in September, I've been wanting to see more Kelly innings anyway, heh

Don't resist Eric. Give in to your heart's desires It's so interesting that I've put it as a high priority for long-term projects. But I'm not cooking it up tonight when (as I just this moment realized) I have to leave the house in an hour and I have yet to take my clothes out of the dryer or shower and shave. And yes, I'm going to a group screening of Baby Face (1933) and then coming home to watch and score the game on delay. Such is the life of a man with too many passions (who is still supposed to be doing something more important than any of them). Barbara Stanwyck is wonderful, Double Indemnity will forever be one of my favorites. Along with Mr. Mookie!

Nice quick lead. I'm seeing some of the usual NESN gripes this year. I've been very appreciative of Joe Castiglione (old-guy-flubs included) and Tim Neverett has done well. I'd power rank a day at the park, then radio, then video as a last resort.

I'm hopeful it's not one of the Philly guys; Noel will be too expensive after this year, outpricing his actual value, and Okafor is just a zero in so many facets of the game. Much prefer a center like Vooch with range on his J, great passing vision, and decent/below average D that is fixable by Stevens and team scheme. Plus, the same ability to work in the post, even though "bang in the post" is ugly and goes against our team philosophy. Four years older than Jah, makes about 10m more a year (still cheap), with none of the holes in his game as we try to do this weird contend+rebuild dance.
If it does have to be one of the two, I guess I'd prefer Jah. For the financial flexibility, with hope he can produce a lot of improvement in a lot of areas. Bradley and our 2018 for Jah and RoCo would be decent. My pipe dream package still goes to Orlando, then we toss Doc a second rounder for Paul Pierce's vet presence.

It's crazy, but I'm getting hyped up just to watch Summer League games. Man, I love this squad. The Celtics subreddit has decided Rozier's nickname should be Scary Terry for this guy... I love it, any Rick and Morty fans here?

My realistic trade candidate is Nikola Vucevic from Orlando. He's crazy underrated, including by his own coach, who wants to go with the defensive combo of Ibaka/Biyombo. It would be tough, but I would dangle Bradley, Zizic, and future (non-BKN) picks.

Personal request hotline: One day when Mendoza is scheduled, you need to make the title "Puttin' on the Ritzi."

2 hits and 2 K's through 4 for Trey. An efficient 38 pitches, 30 for strikes. Our turkey is molting into a phoenix.
