Is Robert in such good shape he’s perpetually at risk of injury?

Idk, but a lot of smart people are asking that very question.

Giolito not looking sharp today.

Best case scenario for Luis there.

I’ve gone full old man and am listening on the radio while drinking beer on the porch.

DJ was talking about it but he’s just so damn boring I could help by drift off during the whole episode.

Was he not there in time to play, or is the old man willing to lose games to prove a point to a 30yr old rookie?

Left Fielder should have told Timmy and Yoan to call it

I don’t think that’s how it works.

Timmy called it all the way. Yoan needs to yield there.

Sí señor. I’m onboard with whoever posted they’ll win 100 games, but the defense is appallingly sloppy one month in.

Kasper: “6th inning, and the Sox very much in the game.”

DJ: “This team has no energy and three hits through 5 innings.”

Kasper seamlessly transitioned to the next pitch (passed ball or WP, don’t recall which) in a way that’d make Bob Uecker proud.

Baseball players are china dolls. They bump into something and they act like they have to amputate a limb.

Robert likely going to the IL. Hopefully its not a long stint. It would be nice if Engel could replace him for the time being, but I didn't know his injury would linger for 9 fucking weeks.

I am kind of more interested in the Sox trying to trade him, when they are in the middle of being a juggernaut.

He threw fairly well yesterday. One earned run and 8 Ks while pitching into the 6th. The Sox were dreadful in the field, and at the plate. That's not really his fault.

Lucas would probably have a sub 3 ERA if you took out that farce of a morning game in Boston a couple weeks back. I'm not worried about him at all.
