This Sale guy is pretty good, too bad they haven't had him all season.

Having an ACE does feel different 😁

Everyone expects Casas to be an all star and Bobby to remain a strikeout ready to happen. But if he keeps hitting Bobby Bombs at his current pace, he would hit 40+ as a full-time player. You might want to have that guy in your lineup. Can he catch? But he wouldn't hit all pitchers at that pace. They pick his spots, which is fine with me.
N.B. I just did the math and Anthony Rizzo's OPS in August is .431 -- acquiring Schwarber and picking Bobby's spots is looking better every day.

Wasn’t expecting a no hitter but that’s a rough way to allow ur first hit

Saves Cora a potentially tough decision.

Schwarber is a walk machine. What an AB.
Big time setup for JD to break free of this slump

Sox FO might wanna see if they can ink that 2022 mutual option with Schwarber immediately after the game - before he and his agent figure out he is worth more than 11.5 mil next year.

Saves Cora a potentially tough decision. Not really. Calling on the bullpen is like playing Russian Roulet. Lol

I wonder if they might consider batting Martinez 9th. Maybe he'd get pissed off and opt out.

Serious question- who do you have less faith in right now, JD or Vazquez?

Serious question- who do you have less faith in right now, JD or Vazquez? At least they are taking the heat off Dalbec.

Sale looking very shaky. Velocity down and big loss of command.

Not watching at the moment, but those two posts back to back are… confusing.
