MFY are in on Gallo. I gotta say Bloom is as cool as the other side of the pillow. He just lays in wait for the right time to pounce. They're more than on for Gallo. They made the trade for him pending physicals.

Just saw the Duran hit... that's a TOUGH error for the center fielder. That's essentially giving a 3B an error for trying to barehand a ball that would've still been a 50/50 play at first base.

Houck's strikeout ability screams shutdown reliever to me for this year's squad. Preventing hitters from getting solid contact is very helpful with runners on base. He could go multiple innings as well. That is assuming a conquering Sale return and a solid deadline acquisition.

Completely disagree. If the C holds onto the ball, it's a question of inches on that call at the plate. The bobble was probably worth like 2-3 steps. I don't know how we can seriously argue that that isn't an error.

I don't know how we can seriously argue that that isn't an error. I get that, but this was a play that the CF had to barehand to even get a chance to get the runner, and if he succeeds he gets the out. When a similar situation happens in the infield and the 3B or short goes for the barehand and misses, I think most cases that goes in the books as a hit not an error.

He could go multiple innings as well. That is assuming a conquering Sale return and a solid deadline acquisition. Yeah, I've always seen him and thought he looks like a future closer. But maybe he can make it as a starter. I think he goes to the pen this year eventually anyway. But another reason Scherzer would be such a greta addition (as if the prospect a rotation of he, Sale, Eovaldi, ERod and Pivetta isn't enough) is the idea of a bullpen with Whitlock and Houck setting up Barnes with guys like Ottavino, Taylor, Darwinzon, Sawamura and Valdez backing them up. That's just filthy.

Again, it was a bang-bang play even after he dropped it and had to go find it. Arguing that he "had to" pick it up barehanded is just completely inaccurate.

If Sox hang on, Houck deserves the win. If this is a ninth inning game, he pitches the fifth. To be sure, he was not as effective in the fourth and it’s a short game so Cora makes a good call in pulling him. Whitlock will get the W and he pitched well also.
