Joke's on us when Mad Mad Madrigal gets those 2500 hits before October.

I perceive that game threads become a competition to spew the most extreme invective the quickest. We seem to forget that the best hitters in the game make outs 7 out of 10 times, and the best pitchers still give up more than a baserunner an inning.

I agree with you. If we held onto him, we'd be doing the same kvetching next off-season about whether to pick up the option, or not.

I thought the kid was supposed to have a wet noodle for an arm. Prospect scouting reports were a lie, or other teams think he can pick up a ball at the wall and have a problem making a throw to the outfield grass.

I initially believed the BS that she said things about his mother. (I really don't think women will say s%*# about a dude's mother.) It comes out she may have said he sucked, and his response was way disproportionate. That team still has a pretty potent lineup, but their entire pitching staff's in the sick bay. They should learn from Chris Getz how to build orginasational pitching depth.

I'm just amazed at how wild PCA is. I know we're seeing cherry picked videos on Twitter, but the dude cold probably stand to have a good week of solid, defensive games.

I'm so done with worrying about Yoan, Eloy and Robert. There's another option in that contract. Seriously, we'd be doing this again next winter. Dude, buy a sailboat.

Okay, Sandlin 87-pitch perfect game. I'm calling it!

I know you're in Wuhan, but is Rikuu a thing? They were mentioning that the Sox were only the third MLB team to have 2 Japanese born players in their starting lineup.

Gelding should be part of the protocols for umpires.

Well, that's the habitual attitude of fans who always lecture everybody else for rooting for a team that's lost a lot.

But seriously, does she "suck", or is she hesitant and not loud enough? Everybody gets strike/ball calls overturned. Does she initiate arguments? You ever read Ron Luciano's books? Everything's about positioning.

Who was the Sox manager who'd get mad at a player missing two bunt opportunities, and just leaving the bunt sign on for two strikes? Was that Ozzie?

You.

I want so many women umps nobody notices them anymore.

Yeah, Billy Smith, the 1B ump, would get no extra commentary on the reversal. The only reason anybody knows to tie it to her is she's a woman.

As much as I want Rikuu to rake, I still get a Duke Ellis vibe. Maybe he replaces Acuña.

Nishida is the greatest promotion this organization has ever made. Extend him. 9/150

We start the bottom of the 10th with Acuña on 2nd, Nishida atta bat.

Good thing we traded for Vargas instead of that Fedde for Keaschul business that some believe was on the table. Bullshit overturn. Dude beat the bobbled throw.

Pick up your glove and get the hell outta here, Joe Ryan!

Nishida!!

Writers just kind of made that up. I've repeated it a few times, here, but that's not really a "rumor".
