Heck of a PA for Peraza. Possibly the most anyone has ever deserved an RBI HBP

That was the most stressful second win of a season ever.

Nightengale tweeting about how low the positive test rate is has to be the kiss of death for this season, right?

Btw, I don't mind most of the things MLB is doing to get creative with this weird season, but those projected graphics on the field are atrocious.

Cobb hasn't been the same since surgery and hasn't really been close to being that 2013/2014 pitcher he once was. Yet positive sign in the strikeouts today, that's been a noticable difference since he came back. Was an 8 plus K per 9 guy, then after surgery he's been at 6 per game. Even dropping below that last year. Given expanded playoffs, price could be higher, yet his $15 million salary next year will turn off most teams. Type of guy I maybe take a flyer on with the cost being low. Wouldn't even consider it if they actually wanted real value. Yeah, this is about where I am with him. He hasn't been GOOD good in about 6 years, and considering he's due almost $30M (not factoring for pro-rata) through next year, its not like he's automatically giving surplus value if he doesn't suck.

I'd like to see the Sox try and grab him if he looks good in a month. Boston guy, maybe work out something like the Cashner deal last year. If Cobb's cutter is back, the O's are going to want big time prospects. Maybe, but he really doesn't have that much of a track record of success or health. If the price is high, I'm out. Then again, if the NYY checkbook is open, I'd definitely get involved in the bidding war and drive that price up.

Look for the Yankees to trade for Alex Cobb at the deadline. You heard it here first. I'd like to see the Sox try and grab him if he looks good in a month. Boston guy, maybe work out something like the Cashner deal last year.

Credit to Perez for battling back and giving some solid innings. Nobody will praise him for giving up 5, but giving up 5 in 5 innings is a lot better than giving up 5 in 2 innings.

I don't really mind rotating guys out of the lineup. There was hardly a preseason. You have a 30 man roster for the next 2 weeks. Take advantage of the depth.

By the way, I want to say publicly, since so many are so down on him due to the circumstances of his arrival to the franchise, I will be happy to lead the Verdugo bandwagon this season. There's plenty of room. Let me know if you need a ticket.

Nobody has ever wanted a baseball as bad as Verdugo just now.

The throw sailed a bit, but Chavis is too short to play first. And he was still out. Twice.

I know they've been hitting JDM 2nd, even though I think he and X should be flipped, but Pillar 5th? I agree with X and JDM needing to be flipped. My beef is with Verdugo being the guy who gets platooned with Pillar. I mean, did the Red Sox really trade Mookie Betts for a platoon OF? We've seen how futile JBJ is against lefties, why can't Pillar platoon with JBJ instead? I would hope sooner or later Verdugo is an everyday player. I agree that Pillar should get most of his ABs in place of JBJ by years end. I think they want to ease Verdugo in so he's the first to sit, but I hope we'll see a bit of a carousel as far as who sits on Pillar (read: LHP) days. Today's lineup is also probably a nod to the defense of your GG CFer.

He'd be a waiver claim, so it's not the player's choice. Ah. Didn't realize it was waivers. I have not seen Fulmer these last few years, but he had big stuff back in his prospect days. Does he still have a mid-90s fastball? I guess the thing that makes him appealing over those other guys is projection (if, that is, there is still the stuff there once was). But, yeah, at some point one does just have to say this guy might not happen. Saw a write-up on MLBTR from a couple of months ago that said he's been low 90s. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/05/white-sox-carson-fulmer-out-of-options.html
