How has no new poster taken this as a user name yet? Will’s Venaballsack I know @ron883 is a controversial poster on this site, but no one can say he isn’t inspiring.

“They refer to Yellowstone as ‘the conservative show’ or ‘the Republican show’ or ‘the red-state ‘Game of Thrones,’ ” Sheridan told the Atlantic in 2022. “And I just sit back laughing. I’m like, ‘Really?’ “ “The show’s talking about the displacement of Native Americans and the way Native American women were treated and about corporate greed and the gentrification of the West, and land-grabbing,” he added. “That’s a red-state show?” nypost.com Having watched most of his shows, they do FEEL conservative. Especially the Michael Bay-ish male camera gaze fixed on Ainsley in Landman. That said, his comment at least made me think. Perhaps also because some of his main characters like Stallone, Thornton/Sam Neill and Costner feel like they're pulled directly from the 1950s and 80s...even Zoey Saldana and pretty much everything but the two lesbian Lionesses in that show. The operators themselves come across like a good 'ol boys recruitment video for Navy Seal Team 6.

I think we'll be repeating all off season long that they were just one well executed Taylor slider/curve against Rocchio away from an almost insurmountable in reality 3 1/2 game lead (considering CLE had to finish a game ahead due to Sox 7-5 season series lead with one to go) with just 10-11 games remaining on the schedule for both teams. Didn't expect anything in the postseason...they're clearly not close to TB NY or Boston in talent...but just feels like a terribly cruel twist of fate after leading the division for months and months. Ofc, all White Sox fans shpuld be used to this by now...at least those of us in our 50s. 2005/08 really are the pretty much the lone exceptions.

baseballsavant.comStatcast Expected wOBA, xBA, xSLGBaseball SavantExpected outcome stat is interesting... Vargas 8th in mlb. Antonacci second on the White Sox...then Murakami and Grichuk. Kolson way way down near the bottom for the team. Didn't anticipate Braden actually being ahead of Peters. And Meidroth was pretty low as well.

Of course the tigers get hot right when we are about to play them in 4

I believe Golden Sombrero in Japanese is Gorden Sombreroo

The issue here is not Antonacci’s hitting. The issue is his defense on the bottom of the ninth in a one run game. We needed a real outfielder out there for defense, not a second baseman baseman Excellent comment. Venable is also providing awful explanations of his bad decisions, and doubling down on them. He has now cost us a few games with his bad in game decisions and bad roster construction.

20 years ago I would be upset that I couldn't walk to the ballpark for a game any time I wanted. Now? Go! Please, move! Please let me get to and from my house late after a gig without a maddening sea cars all trying to squeeze onto Wenthworth or 37th...

How do you say Golden Sombrero in Japanese? He can also be respected be respected batting 8 th instead of cleanup stopping rallies and getting an extra at bat,.

Agree with you. Will has no sense of urgency. He manages a critical pennant chasing game like it was in the middle of the season. Would also like for Will to show more energy. His dugout zombiE like look is not good. Good luck getting by Will’s split orthodoxy.

His presence could be fixed with a dash of Old Spice.

I'm just a snarky asshole. Sorry if you can't deal with it. Everything I said is right though, so whatever.

You really are a damn fool who wants to make things personal. F off.

How is it possible to have every take you make on this forum be the wrong one? It's uncanny. His route to that ball was atrocious. He read it completely wrong. He started coming in on it and then had to turn and run back... He misplayed it badly. He also never should have been out there. The pinch hitting of Montgomery for Doyle was absolutely idiotic. Montgomery has been terrible at the plate, Doyle has had a good game, and you have a lead. You're subbing out your best defensive outfielder.... They should have subbed Montgomery for Antonacci in the 9th, put Doyle in Center, Peters in LF, and Montgomery in RF. But our manager is a moron. Everyone questioned Montgomery coming up to PH for Doyle as soon as it happened, and what do you know?

Bulshit. Only a speed demon makes that play when they are positioned that shallow and leaning toward Center. He was positioned in the wrong place but was he to blame for that? The defensive positioning is dictated in large measure by how a batter is being pitched. The Manager and bench Manager are responsible for that. Taylor pitched Rochhio a high down the middle fastball where he could stick the head of his bat out and hit it oppo.... like a lot of LH hitters do on a pitch in that location. The field positioning dictated pitching Rochhio inside.

6% hit probability on that last flyball, an avg LF makes that play.

really would have been 3 1/2 with tiebreaker now 1 1/2 lose next two and technically tied with nine left to go

You hire a minimum wage manager with no skills or experience, this is what you get. Too cute by half using a useless opener today cost us 3 runs. Then "the book" says go with all righty/lefty matchups in the early or middle innings. Let's not have the gold glove outfielder in the game so you can move Peters to left in the 9th. Utter managerial malpractice. We should have been up 6-2 in the 9th and win going away. When we lose tomorrow (and believe me, we will), we leave town with ZERO margin for error, instead of up 3 games. I'm done!

Wait so Venable knows Mune sucks so bad right now that he thought Cleveland would intentionally walk Vargas to get to him since he’s an automatic out. Got it 🤡

Brazoban down there as well gave up a run in 4-2 loss

Thorpe 4.1 3 2 2 4 3 0 2.79

Walk him to face Doyle or Braden??? okay that's some strange logic there

Phantom dl for forearm strain/overusage by nym/general ineffectiveness...

Stop treating him like an established star!

WIL he or won't he? Princeton education says no, not if he wants another job in baseball. Quitting on your team with 11 games remaining would be absolutely unforgivable...unless he had a health emergency.
