Neat. Bat him 9th. I give it half a gamethread before people turn on him.

Anytime you can sign a reliever coming off major surgery to 9 mill a year you do it.

In related news, Nicky Delmonico will get his first professional start at 2B tonight

The man is a catcher.

lol the amount that stop at t+1 But yeah including EE's 4 game and ignoring McCann is some extreme pnoles shit

Then don't watch

Christopher kamka is a gift none of us deserve.

This is what we get for having a catcher playing shortstop.

I’m just confused what exactly they expected? How many dudes tested positive on intake and during Summer Camp? 70 some? Maybe more. Almost every team had at least one. Around 5% of those who reported test positive. Obviously the Marlins outbreak is new, but other than that it’s been pretty small #s. I mean - everyone knew this would happen. If the plan was to panic cancel games and destroy the schedule less than a week in, why even bother? And why did no one feel like they had to shut everything down everytime a dude tested positive in summer camp? whole this is puzzling to me.

eh, I think it's important people be shamed for sharing pnoles content

On a related note, I purchased one of those mystery signed baseballs from a table the Sox wives had set up at a home game last year. I had to hold my lack of enthusiasm in front of the ladies when I opened up the box and saw the Kelvin Herrera signature. I actually ended up leaving the ball on my seat at the end of the game. Oh, well it was for charity.

The culture on both sides which distracts from addressing, let alone fixing, what is actually wrong with the country is what's really ruining it...that abundant hyper-partisanship on progressive and conservative extremes of the spectrum.

Get a god damn win

This felt nearly must-win. A win tomorrow would really take the bad taste out of our mouths from those first two series.

This is the good SS2k5, queuing up the winner thread. All hail our MVPs, Adam Engel and Cordero’s Biceps

Let's get some fucking runs, holy shit. No god damn reason this offense cant score more than 3 motherfucking runs against this royals staff unless they're not fucking ready to play the damn game give me the laugh emoji idgaf you know I'm right

He was hardly the only one, it was bizarre

We know helping a professional pitcher improve is hard for Cooper, so it's not surprise that wearing a mask properly is difficult for him as well

You’re not “that guy”. You’re right. They need to do better.

This season is going to be cancelled. You can just feel it. They've handled it easily the worst out of all the major sports.

Why? His footwork sucks, doesn’t have soft hands and his throwing arm isn’t accurate.

There comes a point where I think we can all forget about Anderson ever being "good" defensively. He's been in the MLB now for a few years. He is what he is

McBroom is a funny name; kind of like the episode where the Stooges drink Scotch in Scotland.

Boring Keuchel innings are one of my new favorite things

or 2... or 8...

Even if all the kids and counselors fully healed with no issues - the question is bigger than that - how many did those 260 who were infected go on to infect, cause the deaths of those individuals count too. And it is beyond deaths - the more this happens the more we just drag out this entire massive slowdown in the economy. Oh and how many of those people infected also end up with longer term health conditions - that are not just a drag on that individual but drive up overall health costs, etc.

Or he was like - really - you guys are going to play the service time game with me.

A horrible no good week at work at least ends with a cold beer and White Sox baseball. LFG!

It is the perfect microcosm of modern America. We COULD have fixed this, but we weren't willing to do the minimum needed to fix it.

His competitiveness showing is certainly one way of interpreting it. They also shouldn't be shaking fucking hands.

The Players Association signed off on an agreement saying the players would not do stuff we've seen them doing, and the players association didn't want penalties for players violating those rules. I bash the owners as much as anyone, but this was a negotiated agreement that the players aren't living up to. If we saw everyone wearing masks, no high 5s, the Astros staying in their dugout, people using the stands for social distancing, etc, and people were still getting sick, then we could blame the policies for being too weak. The players are consistently, on camera, ignoring those rules.

I will never understand people who turn something like this into looking for reasons to be upset all of the time. if it does, you need a new hobby.

The Madrigal Mystery Tour is coming to take you away, coming to take you TODAY! (sorry for the bad joke, as a huge Beatles fan I couldn’t stop myself)

Well Lance Johnson was One Dog so maybe Mad Dog !

Small stuff but I like the fact that’s he an intelligent player too. Team has a number of great athletes but seems to be lacking in the baseball IQ department at times.

Very good. Not an offensive savior, but bat him 9th, work some counts, and make all the plays. We’re going to like this guy.

I think that round of BP yesterday really did the trick!

Glad he’s finally “ready”!!

Yeah sign me up for MLB Le Mans

let's meet in the middle: 5-inning continuous play for up to 48 hours get as many games on the book as quickly as possible!

Also that Miami bus is barreling right into a hurricane...

The Miami plague bus is going to circle up and down I-95 for two weeks getting pizzas and pedialyte drone delivered through the roof hatch.

Still not a good enough reason in this case. Major league games are 9 innings until they can’t be because of weather. If they’re there to play, just play it out. It’s a bad rule. The man on 2nd rule, pitchers facing 3 batters, and the 7 inning doubleheader games are dumb. So is expanded playoffs. Everything else, I have no problem, like keeping travel regional.

Can we stop extrapolating games to a full 162 game season. It means nothing.

Miss the Ace Blessed to have seen him and Sale in a ChiSox uni

This, IMO, is a good start https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/luis-robert-673357?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb
