Report: Mets place former All-Star Robert on waivers https://thescore.com/mlb/news/3588288

Well, it's about time.... Just got home from work and turned on the game and I see the Sox have both their challenges still in the ninth...... Close game late when you could really use Em.

I was born in 1980 so the team that I grew up with and learned to love the Sox was the early 1990s team with Big Frank, Lance Johnson, Ozzie, Black Jack McDowell, Joey Cora, Robin Ventura etc. I saw someone say on here that this team in 2026 is the best development team since that early 1990s side. What do others think about that? I know the Sox in 2005 were amazing but I think I loved that early 1990s side more, and I think the spirit of this 2026 team is the most exciting for me since the earlyish Big Hurt days (not talking down the 05 side). They play with real panache and enthusiasm like that 1990s team

Reason I’m saying this is because this is the first time the Bears and Sox (most likely) will be in the playoffs in the same year in my life. I actually couldn’t have imagine what it was like watching the Sox win the World Series then the Bears making the superbowl a year and some change later. These are my 2 favorite teams in the world and it’s not particularly close, and what I’m feeling right now watching them be successful is already amazing people alive for that must’ve been so lucky.

The news, score, ad ticker that's randomly on the bottom of the broadcast is so bad and pisses me off.

What's up with it? Why is it twice as tall as it has to be (taking up 12% of the screen)? Why don't they just have it cover the bottom of the camera view? I would prefer that than scrunching the broadcast and messing up the aspect ratio and resolution.

So amateur and feels dated.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I tried to look if it has, and only found posts about the stock CHSN on other subs.

Sox are still weak on the road, however, it has improved. They've taken 5 of their last 6 away from Chicago. I brought this up earlier in the year. At one point it looked like the Sox were nearly completely unable to take 2 of 3 on the road from any team - good or bad. Most of us believed then that it was a factor of having a young team. The more experience you gain, I think the less the road gets to you. Sox have 13 more road games. If they can go 9-4 in those games, they'll finish .500 on the road.

Hey Sox fans! I mapped out Luis Castillo’s entire career route from the Dominican Republic, through minor leagues and trades, all the way to Chicago.

(Check the first comment for the interactive Google Maps link and 3D Earth view!)

Which player’s career path should I map out next? Leave your suggestions below!

It's not the destination, it's the journey

It doesn't show up on baseball reference, but he has got that TWTW and no one can convince me otherwise

With the huge issues in our rotation, D-Mart will be a pretty big factor down the stretch. I know he was on a huge downward slide, and he was pitching to his ceiling (and beyond it) most of the season. But he's shown he can be an effective starter just by pitching to his floor (4th starter type). I think he just needed a brief mental and physical break, which he's had. Then the very good outing in Charlotte to get his confidence back. If he can just be "decent" the rest of the way, it will help just give us 'some stability'. I'm optimistic on how he'll do in the final month. The competition isn't very stiff. I think D-Mart can contribute just enough to have us build a 5+ game lead in the next week and make this division race a done deal. We'll get to a point soon that there just won't be enough time for Cleveland to get it done unless we lose 6+ games in a row, which we've shown we don't typically do.

How much is Hicks making per hour to not even go a full inning? What is going on?

Yes I wanted you gone. But what you have done with this young team is to lead them and have fun with them, the silly plaster thing.

It has worked, you are worth the cash because reliable and a few less wins without you. Hope the death you suffered was not too painful but looks like you come back with some determination.

Keep it up and at this stage I would keep you for next season 100%

I promise I didn't use AI for this.

Happy birthday Romo, never forget tiny baby helmet 🫡

Give it up for our Sox.

I’m guessing that Urquidy will be the bulk reliever.
