Of course it's "debatable" whether he's a bad GM or not. He completely rebuilt the organization in 2 years. They're in the playoffs a good 4 years before many here were assuring us they'd have losing records until. Your takes are like how I s%*# when I can't undo my belt fast enough. Seriously, find a trolling sensei. Your game sucks.

Yes, making it to the 2nd round of the playoffs when many were predicting the team to be challenging for a 4th 100-loss season is a total failure. LOL. Dude, you need to take trolling classes, or something. Maybe there's a School of Troll in your neighborhood. Sign up. This is feeble.

Maybe somebody could tell Darling about Miguel's hand adjustment.

Son of Svengoolie, obviously.

Didn't see this coming...

It's gonna be awkward when they need to ask Schriff back to MC the parade speeches.

I tried catching all the old country guys if they came through town. Johnny Paycheck at some Lincoln Ave. dive bar when he just got out of prison was one of my faves. David Allen Coe at Double Door.

They have put together a nice core of Bazzana and DeLauter, Angel Martinez looks league average-y, then they have this Ralphy Velazquez, 1st rounder, slugging 1B at AAA. And just as I thought Kwan was having a shitty year, dude wakes up and posts 3.8 fWAR. I know I catch hell for being "pro-Getz" and always looking for the sunny side of the street, but Cleveland's a solid team. We just seem to have a plan for how to attack them on both offense and defense with some surprises. Becoming really patient is like Rocky Balboa becoming a right-handed boxer between fights. Funny how GuardsTwitter is now wondering if Vogt is going to copy the Sox by throwing Cam Smith for multiple innings or redoing his lineup.

GuardsTwitter seems awful familiar...

Sam probably was positioned correctly on Rocchio's walk off. Rocchio just poked one the other way towards the corner. Had Sam not taken the step in, he had a shot at a miraculous play.

That is a problem that Braden Montgomery had been having, diving for balls out of reach, turning a single into a double or triple. Sam made the carbon copy of Rocchio's walk-off a bit more exciting than it needed to be, but he caught it. I really want to know what teams all these commenters played for.

And for all the grousing about Sam, he backed up Adell's triple just fine.

good point

He threw strikes, and they were hacking.

Sam Anto NOT ON MY WATCH!!!

Anto NOT TODAY!!!

Like death and taxes.

Many cling to the Zeno's Paradox myth of onboarding statistical analysis. Like, The Sox are 15 years behind. By the time they catch up, everybody will have moved onto to the next frontier. That is, unless you hire their guys, quickly put the resources in place without having to make the years of mistakes and adjustments the early adopters had to, then pivoting to embracing the cutting-edge stuff simultaneously.

It's funny how a happy, young team will mean everything to everyone.
