Ober recalled with Headrick being sent down for today's game.

Correa's foot is back in the lineup today.

[Parfigliano]

Be nice to see Ober go at least 5 with no HR meatballs

What about the rest of him?

I hope it follows.

Something in me immediately declares "5 is right out!"

 

Sigh...

 

I wonder why?

If Correa's foot is really affecting his play that much I was thinking Rocco would give him as much time off as he needed. Have him available as a PH only. At least for the 3 games vs W Sox.

It's been bothering him since May.  I'm obviously guessing, but I imagine they're walking a line between getting him extra rest while also not allowing him to get rusty.

Perhaps the plantar fasciitis flared up over the last few days and he's feeling better today.  It's an odd ailment.

You put your left foot in, you take your left foot out, you put a  right foot in, Rocco's pinch hitting all about....

If you weren't doing the dance while typing that, I'm going to be very disappointed in you!

That has often been true this season, even when not adjusting for salary.

[Sutter50]

Great job Bailey!!!

It would be weird if that hadnt been the case most of the year(or among the lowest when guys like Vazquez play).

Just look at that 1st inning. 4 players combine to see 22 pitches. Carlos walks up and swings first pitch for a lazy fly out.

Its whatever at this point. His contract is about locking in, in October anyways. Just pray the flip switches in a couple weeks.

[mrtwinsfan]

Anyone know if   Timmy--Jackie Robinson-- Anderson  ever took any responsibility for being a Jerk when  Jose Ramirez Decked him ?   Gotta be one of the Sox best highlight of the year, ,  

[GusGus11]

Nice first inning from Ober

I've wondered about the plantar fasciitis if it's better to just keep going until you shut it down for good. Like he can't do much damage now but if it starts to heal its more suseptible to a reinjury that would be much worse?

 

[GusGus11]

Cmon Jeff

With runners on the corners as a righty you cant be lunging for a ball trying to pull. Take it or go the other way.

Was a routine DP if not for the contact play. So instead a routine throw out at home.

[mrtwinsfan]

Batted around  zero runs,    Hard to do

I don't really know that either, and I've had it.  It didn't really have a pattern.  Some days were good regardless of what I did.  Some days were awful regardless of what I did.

I eventually tried to do certain things when it was going good, half hoping it didn't aggravate it.  It eventually just sort of went away.

Me too.  Some days alot of walking no pain.  Some days couch potato really painful.   It was weird.

[Parfigliano]

Clutch.  Royce knows when to hit them

[GusGus11]

Pay Royce all the damn money.

Just do it.

[MMMordabito]

He just did that again!
