Very well done

Was truly blessed to get to enjoy him, Johnny red and crew and of course Hawk and Winmpy and Hawk and his other partners..::truly hope this isn’t the end of memorable announcers for our squads. So fun in my mind having someone in that booth who loves the team like you do. Seems to happen so much less now a days.

Devasting news - wish his family nothing but the best during these difficult times. When bulls were rolling I loved every ounce of the energy, passion and funny sayings he would bring to the booth. Was always clear how much he loved the Bulls, the game of basketball and the gig that he had too.

I think it was his bat but he could play catcher, but the grind wasn't worth it. To that point, his defensive tools were nowhere near as good as Lackey's...but Lackey's tools play as a potential plus centerfielder as well. Which I still think is what I would opt for or at least aim for as I think the value there is extremely high if it hits. Catching is just such a grind - both the mental part of the job and the physical part of the defensive role, that it absolutely impacts your offensive development and even ability to maintain an offensive peak. There is a reason so few catcher(s) have ever had sustainable success at both. It is one reason I love the set-up the Sox theortically have with Teel and Quero as they should be able to adequately split their time up a bit more and truly let it play up to a big time advantage.

I keep getting more and more excited for Lackey. I think he is going to be an absolute super star. Roch is still a very good talent too…but I’m all in on Lackey!

Stinks - hope he can recover quick and put this behind him and get back to crushing asap. In meantime, next guy up. Would be nice to see Colson go on a heater here along with Jacob coming up and showing us he’s a dude.

I am with you.

Gonzo I hope you crush it and never look back. Mune…get better fast!!!

I do get the owner valuation angle too

Isn’t it more about the revenue share percentage. That way as long as league succeeds players continue to succeed? Put something in if money isn’t spent a broad check goes out to cover. Feels like at least they are having these talks now on the extreme. Baseball is doing so well right now which is great to see.

Nice - glad to see them get back home and take the 4 game series. Now lets take the next series. One game at a time - lets go Sox!!!

Early to jump on Sandlin this quick - lets see what happens when he gets a few more starts under his belt. Great first outing though and if he can be even a middle of the rotation guy, that would be great value / great get for picking up Hicks contract.

Lets win the series today!!!

Those two 2️⃣ plus getting teel back gets me super excited about what this lineup can look like in time….totally getting Monty needs more work in AAA and Caleb is still a year out. If they go after Sato or someone else in free agency even better when it comes to lineup depth and flexibility!

This thread has been a curse - I'm closing it. Haven't won a series since it happened and we have won the 1st game of series plenty of time. Time to end this and worry about our beloved franchise!
