i think we're starting to see the evans i was afraid of.
Yeah, two bad outings in a row. Hopefully he can get his act together. Our whole staff overall of late has been borderline shit. We can't rely on winning 8-7 games in the 9th inning.i think we're starting to see the evans i was afraid of.

Bon voyage, Machado bait.And Alonso is gone. He was DFA'd today
Jay actually played well yesterday. I bet we keep him if healthy finally. Although as a Vet bat he could easily be trade bait at the deadlineBon voyage, Machado bait.
Jay probably not far behind.
Looks like Palka got the call instead of Skole. I'm actually ok with this as we can get a better idea to see if Palka can begin to replicate last year's performance by being in the lineup more consistently than when he was here in the beginning of the season. He'll likely be the regular DH along with some spot duties in RF and 1B. No doubt tho he'll have to show that he belongs. The leash should be a short one.Wonder who we'll bring up. I'd like to see Matt Skole get a shot. He had a pretty decent ST and he's got some pop in his bat. He's one of those career minor leaguers, but I'd still like to see him get a crack at making the roster even if it's just to fill some space until Andrew Vaughn is ready to hit the majors.
As I previously stated, I would have liked Skole to be brought up, but my guess is the Sox want to see if Palka has improved after his stint in the minors. So far, it's a negative. Might be trade bait in the coming days.so ..... WHY did they bring up palka?

Also getting some ink these days is Birmingham 1b Gavin Sheets. He's been putting up good numbers this year, but the problem is he's not yet played beyond AA ball. Not sure if this would cut it with the Sox brass, who seem to like their call ups to have at least played some ball in AAA.Who else should they have brought up in the wake of the Alonso release? LSD mentioned Skole, but he's a 30 year old career minor leaguer with no ceiling. I'm not saying LSD is wrong (clearly, in hindsight it would have been correct) but really... is that necessarily "better"? It more than likely ends with the same result.
