Shouldn't this title say that Anderson is one of the top ten most entertaining players? And shouldn't Hendriks and Lynn be recognized? The list is not in order. It's alphabetical.

If you told me Dallas would give up 2 runs after 4 innings, I would've taken that. Gotta score boys.

It's Cal-Berkeley Night at the game. Oakland manager Bob Melvin is also an alum.

You should be a motivational speaker.

I tried that but they caught on....I probably shouldn't have used 2016wasAfluke as my screen name.

Thats okay.. we'll get em tomorrow.

DALLAS FREAKING KEUCHEL DAY! LFG! 9 INNING CG, SHUTOUT HERE WE COME!

Most of those wins don't even exist. All just an illusion. Smoke and mirrors. Prove me wrong.

Before they moved up north, my grandparents grew up near Tuskegee during the time of the experiments. If they got vaccinated, there’s no excuse anyone has to not get vaccinated in my opinion. People who are refusing the vaccine, are the reason why we’re still in the thick of this shit

Abreu going from a below average defender to gold glove caliber in his mid-30s is remarkable.

They had chances to put 3-4 up on him. But we pretty much failed every time with a runner on 3rd. We only have the 1 run cause Olson made an error.

my god vaughn has been absolutely awful

greg, thank you for getting vaccinated, not just for yourself, but you mentioned how you missed going to church. that's one of the most vulnerable populations due to age, as well as the general politics of those less likely to be vaccinated. you'll never know for sure, but you've likely helped keep others a little safer as well.

The ump last night was incredible. This ump already with a worse call.

Fire this stadium into the sun. How is that not a home run?? come on now

Let me be the first to congratulate Grandal on his four walks tonight.

Figured I'd start this. Great hitting by Luis and Cesar. Great outing by Jimmy Lambert. Crochet, Tepara, Kimbrel, and Hendriks are nails.

he got like 5 internet stickers on it a week ago so he's gonna do it every day now.

The ESPN standings have the White Sox playoff odds at 100%. They are crazy. The lead is only 11 and a scant 10 in the loss column with more than 3 weeks left to play, and a 5 game guaranteed to be swept series in Cleveland.. They need new mathematicians.

For how long now have we been begging Vaughn to get 100+ exit velocity on something while he's up with runners on and 2 outs?

It is worth mentioning that Tuskegee was centered around the withholding of treatment from these people, which is quite literally what a group of people is volunteering to do here.

Suck it Elephants!!!

On the production that I'm working on, I contracted Covid 19 from someone a month ago. It seems like every week, there's been a couple new cases of covid in this production. Luckily I've been vaccinated and my symptoms were very, very mild but as someone with a fake heart and very bad lungs, I was terrified. The first couple of nights in quarantine were very scary as I couldn't breathe. Luckily, I was able to avoid going to the hospital. I don't know what it will take for the unions to step up and demand that only vaccinated people be hired on to productions going forward but its well past time. We're around each other for up to 16 hours a day regularly. Mask are just a first line of defense, there's more that can be done to protect everyone.

I've been bamboozled. I came in here ready to talk about el Caballo and Maggs Ordonez 😞

Well considering that Covid is so easy to get over and is less impactful than the flu to the anti-vax crowd. How about this. Let's just have them sign a waiver. If you get covid and need emergency procedures to save your life, you get a lovely flower arrangement and get sent home. Take all of the dewormer you want, take all of the other nonsense witch doctor shit that is being peddled. My wife had to wait 24 hours last week to get admitted to a hospital for something serious because of the mouth breathers and their 3rd-grade version of science. I don't need family members dying because the ER is filled with morons who go oh, yeah I can't breathe. Well, this isn't what I signed up for. I am a strong republican. The anti-vaxxers can all go fuck themselves. Maybe we can have Polio come back because the human body's defense systems are so good. We are at a point in evolution where we can do amazing things to save lives due to science. But the human condition is the one aspect that will even that out.

Trying real hard to convince myself that they can split in Hou and take the 2 at home. It takes some real hubris to believe they’ll just flip a switch after what we’ve watched the past month plus.

Vaughn has 2 hits in his last 7 games.

No. We need to play our A team all the time. No Keuchel, Goodwin, Vaughn. Not resting any stars in the playoffs. Go with the horses in the bullpen,no Ruiz, Burr, etc. Be able to play small ball when called for. Our runners in motion, try to avoid hitting into so many double plays..

If you’re giving up like this, then pull Robert so he can play tomorrow. This was embarrassing by Tony.

And that’s a perfect example why we need an actual RF. Goodwin isn’t an everyday outfielder.

That would be a darn shame if the Yanks fell out of it.....a darn shame.

How does Yoan suck, exactly? He has an .891 OPS with runners in scoring position, one of the best defenders and position players in baseball.

That's a dumb play by Olsen there. Glad to see the other team can do that every so often.

Oh, I don't know.

Is Grandal clonable?

i guess i didn't consider he'd walk, his plate discipline shows up so damn randomly

Wrong forum to challenge people with your troll-like behavior. Walk away while you still have your dignity.

Come on, Dallas. Don't fuckin suck.

It gets funnier and funnier each time. Not unlike these.

Those emojis in the thread title are a nice touch. Bravo.

Yes, and these numbers take that into account.

We’re DOOOOOOMED!!!!!

Dallas is on the mound. We are doomed!!!!

Tuned in just in time to see the Final Destination sequel starring Eloy.

Hendriks finally got his ERA back below 3 after his 2 disastrous outings against the Yankees.

The Sox have had a lot of success drafting near MLB-ready players like Vaughn, Madrigal, and Crotchet and trading for near-MLB guys like Moncada, Eloy, Cease, and Gio, but whether they are able to develop the Kelley, Thompson, Dalquist, Montgomery, Kath group is a huge question mark. That's a first, three seconds, and a third on prep players in the past few drafts. Kelley was essentially a second, third, and fourth round pick because he was given a $3 Million bonus which caused them to go way under slot for the next two rounds. The three pitchers are all young for Low-A ball and will be young for the level next year when they repeat the level. I think the Sox should carefully consider who is coaching at Kannapolis next year because Montgomery and Kath will likely be joining those three. Vera might go straight to High-A, but may be sent to Kanny as well once he's stateside. James Beard (4th round prep guy) and Benyamin Bailey might be there as well. This years Kanny squad is 32-76. They're definitely young (20.7 y/o vs league average of 21.3), but the Myrtle Beach squad for the Cubs are the same age and are 54-54. Next year needs to be an enormous step up considering the top picks in the last 3 drafts (minus Vaughn and Crochet) are all there.
