Which is code for ERA inflammation.

I was there and the energy from the Sox fans was incredible. I did not see it but my wife said the Sox fan who got the Eloy homer stood on his chair, held up the ball and kissed it as the Cubbie fans desperately pleaded to "throw it back"

Too bad I thought you seemed sexy.. was hoping to hook up!

Accurate. Has a big role and was supposed to be a main character but is just too ridiculously bad to pass muster.

I'm moving to Ford Heights if we don't land Rendon

That Yoan Moncada is one fine piece of ace. I know from personal experience.

If he hadn't quit on his guys before, yeah

Come on man. White Sox fans should be the last ones to complain about bat flips. Giolito needs to throw better pitches.

No one is responding because 80% of the board has you on ignore.

I heard that, too...about seven posts before yours ?

Does it decrease the risk of a child seriously injured or dying? If the answer is yes, why are we debating?

Players support the netting nearly unanimously. You want to withdraw your insult of 99% of MLB players or...?

I'm not sure why it matters and how it pertains to Vaughn but this is what I know: Andrew Dalquist doesn't graduate high school until next week and can't sign until then. He's significantly overslot. 22nd rounder Logan Glass is waiting to sign but he's signing. They can't do it until the top 3 are officially signed. I've heard they have agreements with all 4 though. Not sure what the holdup is

BOO. BOO THIS MAN

^^^^

He probably wants to trade Fulmer and all the filthy sinners living near Halsted and Roscoe for him

I know you are faking to be an old timer for whatever weird satisfaction that may give you. Dickerson struck out 80 times in 533 PAs last year.

Thanks, I almost forgot. Who was that shortstop again they traded to San Diego?

I love hearing people talk about all of the so-called “strategy” associated with the double switch. Meanwhile, it’s the most predictable move you can imagine. No “strategy” involved whatsoever.

Wife beater in game

Man, one mediocre outing and there are people just ready to rail on Lucas. Get a life. Even the best pitchers in baseball get rocked once in awhile. It happens. Some people on this board act like life is over and they are ready to jump off a ledge the instant a guy makes one bad play or has one bad outing.

He prefers Smirnoff. He had the best line for retirement I've ever heard. someone asked him what his plan was for retirement and he said, "my wrists and knees don't allow me to golf as much as I would like so my plan right now is to turn Smirnoff into urine."

you are a dumb

This is fair. The Cubs are one of the biggest finger pointing teams about everything in MLB. Other players showboating. Or when Arrieta and Maddon basically accused Eric Thames of using steroids, but then kept talking about how Arrieta could attribute a 7 mph spike in his curveball to yoga.

Everyone mad at Contreras, calm down. Timmy will show him how it's done, but how to look cool doing it.

Calling for violence against an athlete because he did his job better than our guy did his. Gross.

Same people getting mad about Contreras love Tim Anderson. Lol. Keep the same energy both ways

This is the 3-2 walk to Rizzo. Looks like 4 good calls to me.

I like the guy, but White Sox Dave is the kiss of death for Sox players

BREAKING

There is frankly no reason to move on yet.

This has to be the shittiest summer of my life.

Can’t get over how that was oh so close to being a game where the manager deserves props but instead he made the most kid bogglingly stupid move you could imagine. Thank God for Eloy

@greg775 are you ready to admit the rebuild was worth it?

They are upset that Benetti said, “Thanks Cubs!” as Eloy was walking across home plate.

To a point, I think advanced stats are ruining baseball. To a point. I can understand a team (those making the decisions) scouring over stats and making the best moves based on what the stats are telling them. That makes sense. But when fans will scour the advanced stats to find a reason to say a player is terrible when all the basic stats say otherwise...that's a different story. My point about Jose was that there is no one in the Sox system that will produce as he is right now and should produce for a couple more years. There's not a lot of guys out there the Sox could sign or trade for that could produce like Jose is producing; not for less money, that is. He's on pace to lead the team in HRs and RBIs, and he's a leader on and off the field. He's made it clear he wants to play here. If the Sox can sign him for another 2 years at $12M per or so, he'd be worth it.

yoink

It just drives me crazy. It's like the stat people just have to prove how smarter they are than traditional stat peeps by insisting Jose blows. They find an advanced stat and won't consider homers and RBIs at all. I've said it before I worship Jose Abreu in the baseball sense of the word and considering my disdain for what I consider a cheap owner, I wouldn't be upset if we signed him four years at 16 mill a year. Again it's not my cash. I think a fair deal would be 3 years 39 million. Jose is a masher!

The internet.

Baseball is being taken over by a bunch of PC wimps.

Holy Crap...that is a LOT of Sox fans!

I can't wipe this shit eating grin off my face...probably for the next 24 hours.

Always, ALWAYS wonderful to shut the Cubs and their fans up. And the way it was done tonight was spectacular. Well done guys!

Off-topic but I recently watched Major League 2 and now every time I see you post I see Jack Parkman sneering

I think Renteria believed that by the time Moncada got up Hamels would be gone and therefore hed face a righty. Its still ridiculous and so unnecessarily risky.

RR said pregame his back acts up vs LHP's. RR then took out Rondon for him while Hamels was still in. Moncada attempted a few bunts and then took strike 3. Very embarrassing for Yoan and extremely mismanaged by Renteria to put the franchise player in like that

To quote Benetti, THANKS CUBS.

I'd much prefer Kopech and Cease as 4 and 5s next year while they both watch innings

Fire Cooper and find a pitching coach from the Astros system
