Gordon reminds me of Eddie Goldman, he got paid and then packed it in. Excellent players when they feel like it.

There are a few of things that might be happening here. #1 Playoff race #2 Pitchers have adjusted to his strengths AND weaknesses #3 the MLB season is way longer and more intense than the Japanese one. #4 the critics were right and he isn't good enough for MLB long term, which is why a lot of teams avoided him. If I had to guess I would say mostly 2 with a decent amount of 3 mixed in. We will find out about 4 next year.

I do too. That second game was just so crushing, though. Bottom line is we're tied in the loss column with the tiebreaker, so we really do control our own destiny. The next three series will show whether we're just in a temporary slump or irreparably gassed/choking.

Back end of the defense will be torn to shreds if d line doesn’t create pressure. It’s really hard to miss a guy who doesn’t play

technically the Sox are in first place because of the tie breaker, all they have to do is end the season with the same record as Cleveland to win the division, I look at the tie breaker as worth a half win

OOOOOOHHHHH WERE HALF WAY THERE!!!!!

That Sox team had zero pitching by the end of the year. The only reason they won 90 was because they could absolutely MASH.

Yeah, there is something they don't want out, 100%. Guys like this don't get run off without a damned good reason, and it isn't benching someone's kid unless something crazy happened.

I still think of 2006 where the Tigers were running away with the division and here comes the Twins. Back then winning 90 games couldn't do it.

He could hit the ball basically in any part of the zone, but do we know how well he hits fastballs vs offspeed? Seems like he's having trouble picking up spin to me (based on how often he swings and misses on crap in the dirt). He also seems in between to a degree that paralyzes his decision making at the plate, which is why he's not swinging at some obvious strikes. Also I can't find it now but I saw a comparison of his setup and its very different now as compared to when he was hitting. Basically, he's a complete mess and needs a reset.

even below mediocre pitching is expensive if one is not using the Sox yardstick

I'd imagine they would support it. The Amtrak maintenance facility and the future stadium will result in loads of union construction work.

Wake the hell up and get it done. Enough of this s%*#.

One of many local news stories about tonight's public meeting. While I know this will trigger the anti-union folk on this site, the Chicago Federation of Labor supports this project. But the CLF agrees that the residents have raised valid questions and deserve clear answers.

There's nothing like the promise of a brand new day! Let's GO !!!

Id say home cooking will do them well but they've been playing uninspired at the Rate since the end of June.

Playing in Japan isn't an easy move to MLB in the first year. There plenty of failures we ignore.

Here’s more news. Still sounds like BS. No one cares about anything but varsity HS football. https://abc7chicago.com/amp/post/petition-calls-reinstatement-new-lenox-providence-catholic-high-school-football-coach-tyler-plantz-amid-undefeated-season/19840765/ “Plantz says he was dismissed due to concerns to how the team's lower levels are being managed. Now, former players are rallying behind Plantz. An online petition has garnered over 2.300 signatures, as of Wednesday evening.”

People don't get fired for that little unless someone has written a check for millions. There is probably a lot more to it.

Anyone know the story with Providence Catholic firing their head coach? He took the team to the 5A state championship game last year and lost to St. Francis. His team is rated #1 in class 5A and is also undefeated so far this season. The rumor I read is that an alumni/donor (might be a teacher) complained about him because he wasn’t playing his kid, who isn’t even on the varsity team.

Why else would he take the dive?

The Bears feasted off timely turnovers last year, they got 3 against the Panthers last Sunday. TO's are nice but the defense has to get stout and shut drives down, Kyle Gordon is missed.

People still believe it was the translator?

Look, I'm not against it
