Having to rely on Jack to save us from being swept.  😔

The entire Central AL is now officially  -.500. We are tied with Cleveland as the best of the worst. And the White Sox are the hounds of hell nipping at our feet.

[SoCalTiger]

We will win the division and make a run in the postseason. Better times ahead.

Probable footage from tonight's game. 

 

[IdahoBert]

Only three teams in the American League are above .500. This is embarrassing.

Framber suspended 6 games.

And our club is responsible for 20% of Boston’s measly 15 wins, a team that fired its Manager, and most of its coaching staff and sits in last place in the East…

I was expecting this would happen…

[IdahoBert]

Maybe they should let Kevin pitch a couple innings. 

[GalagaGuy]

Why the hell does Hinch get a suspension and a fine?

Hard to see any point in appealing. If he doesn't appeal and starts serving now, he has a start moved back a couple days. If he appeals, maybe he get's it cut to 3 but they'll have the ruling come down so it still falls into his next start schedule and it will have to be moved back.

Is it just protocol to suspend and fine the manager in a situation like this? Did AJ go out to the mound just before that pitch and tell Framber to “clothesline that bastard?” I stopped watching by that point.

He may miss the next start, and it's anyone's guess how he feels about that, but if he could get his suspension reduced from six days to three, it would save him about half a million dollars, so it's worth the effort just for that.

I think it might be just a you're-the-one-responsible-for-your-pitcher-type thing.

true. Do you suppose player agent/lawyers take 30% of the net for the representation in a successful suspension reduction?

I don't see why they wouldn't!
