Travis Shaw? Really? Not good news for the 'Schwarber at 1st base' people. Ya know what would've made both those moves unnecessary? Trading for Rizzo. An actual competent legitimate 1st baseman.

this year's team has truly mastered the art of leaving men on base

We sure are adding a bunch of base cloggers for the lineup. Not sure how to feel about this. Exactly. Curious signing. Shaw with ML experience at 1B, 2B, 3B. Is this just to replace depth laost with Chavis trade or is there more to it? - Schwarber 1B experiment not going well - Arroyo rehab not progressing well

Playing like crap? Can't score runs? Pitching troubles getting you down? Well look no further, we have the cure for you right here! Just play the Orioles!
For real though, a nice sweep here would be great for the team's confidence.

So the Sox are 15th in mlb for men LOB with 14.24 per game (this is about 1.5 fewer than last year btw). You know who's best? Cleveland at 12.93. Worst? Dodgers at 15.94. www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/left-on-base-per-gameJust seems to be one of those things that stand out in one's mind - probably because it's soo aggrivatinga

Vazquez swinging at 3-1 in the dirt is quite frustrating

Keegan Akin third time through the order. Easiest at bats of the season coming up here.

At this point i'm pretty certain that in 2030 someone will still make angry posts because CB did not get Rizzo. It was a reasonable decision, you don't have to like it, but it's done...please get over it.
We are on pace to sweep a series for the first time in like forever, enjoy the moment...the MFY will not be the pushover the O's are...

Gotta give Vazquez a lot of credit for not attempting a stolen base that inning.

(But that's something to think about when the complaints about "squanders" start rolling in.)

another pleasant game - just came in to listen to Joe C (game blacked out here), box score looks pretty good - ERod cruising, efficient. A few more rund would be nice. Please proceed!

Because there's more of them that want to reserve the right to maximize profit and minimize investment costs and the owners that want to win are fine with limited competition? Relegation would solve that. However the owners own the league and so they would never vote for that. The owners who would be relegated would loose a few hundred million each. The only winners would be the lawyers, and MLB would get ANOTHER black eye! Even if it would be a reasonable solution (which it is not), it would be a loose, loose outcome.

ERod looking good, 3 straight strong starts and 7 of the past 9. Just what we need for the rest of the year.

Cora informs ERod that he is done after the 6th inning...ERod NOT HAPPY....They have a heated discussion. Both yelling

Don't blame ERod for being mad about coming out of the game. He's been cruising. I hate this they can't go beyond six innings stuff. Cora must really want to get Ottavino and Barnes (whitlock, perhaps) some work?

I don’t really see much of a spot for him at the moment, who’d you get rid of for him? Austin "Big Fudge" Davis has options and is basically a mop-up guy without length right now (he was acquired for the future anyway).
I would rather see Andriese get another shot since Davis is a mop up pitcher anyway.
