Sox need to call up Kelly.....


I can't believe I just typed that.

But taz needed more time off than his DL stint anyway. Give him one more to get to September

His incompetence nearly cost the Red Sox yet another game yesterday. Thankfully the offense bailed him out once again!

doens't matter now, unless they have a trick up their sleeves kelly's not eligible for the post season.

although my guess is they'd put Carson smith on the post season roster and then use that to justify getting Kelly there. I think that's still allowed.

thus ends a ridiculous month for Kris Bryant. .383/.472/.748 (219 wRC+) with 18 XBH (10 home runs).

Mets fans are just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Don't believe they can keep this up, even with that pilla-soft schedule

losing walker should just about do it.

Yeah, that's a huge blow. He was having one of the all-time best seasons ever for a Mets 2bman. Filled in very nicely for Murphy at the plate and much more reliable in the field.

Smith is healthy again? I don't see them putting Kelly back on the roster either

Way to set the bar high.

no really though, Walker's 3.8 WAR this year ranks 3rd all-time among seasons by a Mets 2nd baseman. He'd be tied for 21st by Red Sox 2B.

A month after the fire sale, the Yankees are red-hot

Red Sox recalled RHP Joe Kelly from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Kelly gave up one run in 3 2/3 innings back in July in his first go-round with the Red Sox as a reliever. He'll operate in relief again this time around.

why they put smith on post season roster is so they can use someone who is not eligible like moncada

no-hitter through 6 for Lester. Fowler barely caught a sinking liner.

Honestly he needs to be thrown into the 7th/8th right away.

This pen is a freaking trainwreck already. Kelly can't be any worse.

Via ESPN Stats & Information: With four steals by the Nats on Friday night, Noah Syndergaard has now allowed 45 steals in 2016. That's the most steals against any pitcher in a single season since Hideo Nomo allowed 52 for the Red Sox in 2001.

For all the talk about Bumgarner's bat, Arrieta has been outhitting him by a good margin.

Arrieta: .276/.323/.448, 105 wRC+, 2 HR
Bumgarner: .164/.253/.329, 59 wRC+, 3 HR



Patrick Corbin's also hit .313/.327/.417 (93 wRC+), though he hasn't homered.

Are the Giants really going to miss the playoffs? Seems so they been the worse team in baseball for the last 2 months

They just need a good luck charm...I'll hop their bandwagon for a few weeks, that should turn things right around
