I was at the July 31 DH and after we won the first game, Comiskey went insane, I probably attended close to 200 games at the old park and that was noisiest I ever experienced a game, we were sitting way out in left center field in the upper deck and I thought Comiskey was going to come tumbling down as the 50,412 in attendance were so loud the place was shaking. It’s a shame we didn’t win that 2nd game which would have given us the 4 game sweep and IIRC a 7 game lead. Things went downhill from there as the Sox were under .500 for August and September as they finished in 3rd but what fun those first 4 months of the 1977 season were.

Guess Twins got word today that Sands from their pen, who they counted on returning, needs surgery and will be out. Makes sense why they added a couple hours after that was made public.

Dude is black too.

Would have been a nice addition, looking forward to seeing what the price was. Edit: Sweet. That return all but confirms to me that we’ll be wheeling and dealing!

Sure, if they gave up someone like Braden, or Schultz, or Hagen Smith, or Bonemer with additional prospects. 😆 I really don’t think he’s going anywhere unless it’s for a haul.

He needs to focus more on making contact and less on homeruns. Bring in Menechino to work with him.

I'm not opposed to trading him in the future. Sell high on him of somebody is willing to buy. Roch will be ready in no time.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/articles/blue-jays-predicted-trade-george-161638560.html Springer to Guardians? How are they going to afford to take on that salary?

Oh I’m most certain they have and if I recall, they also had him out of the cleanup slot today, yea?

Ray has had one of the best ERA's the last month. I would be happy with him being a guy we pick up to replace Schultz in the rotation. Burke-Ray-Martin isn't a bad 1-2-3

Yeah, not that you're seeing things, just that Francys Romero just reported the Yanks and Angels are hot and heavy over those two players.

It does feel like they've been better lately. Per AI - "Chicago White Sox Relivers: Put together a dominant stretch allowing only 8 earned runs over 45.2 innings dating back to July 8, holding opponents to a .180 batting average.". That was from an article on July 23rd. Not sure where I can find cumulative bullpen stats from the month of July, but I think they've been pretty good.

Huh? Not even close. They are middle of the MLB.

SOUTH SIDE STAND UP! I like how he got notably upset when Plesac put Wrigley in his top 5 baseball stadiums 😂 He groaned and then brought it up again 5 minutes later saying he couldn't believe Plesac had it in his top 5.

McDougall is a long term front of the rotation starter if his arm is healthy. Meanwhile he will be able to make an impact in our bullpen down the stretch I think.

Unbelievable work by the bullpen, which may be the best in baseball.

Twins already adding.

Mets are selling as anticipated. My prediction is that Getz acquires Holmes and Torrens.

it's possible but that requires pinpoint command (and, of course, great control). Does Thorpe have that? McDougal had a nice outing for Charlotte. Not sure what their plans are for him, but he was a name earlier in the season.

Twins' top 50, but couldn't be milb top 100 guys if MN taking on $4 million in salary... "Amick has been a borderline Top-20 prospect at Twins Daily throughout the last two years. The team's second-round pick in 2024, he was hitting .217/.338/.482 with 14 doubles, 23 homers and 72 RBIs at Double-A Wichita." Agbayani 6th rounder 2025, mostly injured so far...father also played for Mets Twins DailyTwins Acquire Lefty Reliever A.J. Minter from Mets for 2...The trade deadline is still over three days away, but the Twins have started buying.

We have an announcer that probably knows every SlamBall rule in the book but still wonders why a batter doesn’t swing on a 3-0 count with the bases loaded.

My hope is that when Ishbia takes over, he throws a gigantic offer at Benetti to return. That doesn't seem crazy to me.

Please don't trade him, White Sox!

This is reasonable. But the 3-0 question that the Schriff-dawg keeps asking makes me think he is either trolling or is truly that baseball stupid. And I’m glad Stone finally erupted on him tonight. 🤣 Anyone that still thinks Schriffen is an improvement over Benetti, just remember this interaction tonight and realize that you were DEAD WRONG.

"The Mets will receive prospects Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick, per The Athletic's Will Sammon." Minter $11 million contract this year, so $3.7 million remaining. Also it's Benny Agbayani's son, former Pirate.
