Of course. You're right. But again, Thorpe was a top 40 prospect. There is no disputing that. I think it was fairly well agreed upon that he got the mandate to trade Cease in spring training, and there was probably one deal on the table. Getz got what he could.

It's gonna be so great when Eisert finally throws a strike.

Two hard hit balls. Zero base-runners.

It does. Thorpe's injured, Iriarte was DFAed, now reborn. Wilson helped bring us Murray and Pereira, and Samuel Zavala may ... I don't know, keep CF warm at Birmingham for Fauske.

Oh, he's a great guy. Just givin' him some chin music. Hey, he certainly puts in the work required to have what, 30k followers? That's fairly prodigious for a non-Political agitator.

Thorpe was like, top 40 prospect in the game. It's not like they traded for my Aunt out of Dunning.

I ain't gonna call Junior Perez Junior anymore!!

Ant-Man!!!!

I think somebody should explain to me like I'm a 5-year-old what ChiSoxFanMike does.

I think we just watched our future All-Star closer in action.

They were thinking, "How many diamonds should we put on our eventual World Series rings?" And rightfully so.

The Pirates are moving up in the world

Maybe they don't see any trades materializing for 3 weeks or so, and they want a change soon.

And for all the hand-wringing that Chris Getz wasn't able to obtain all of Kristian Campbell, Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer for Crochet, it seems like the Red Sox were scouted accordingly, and we got what we wanted.

The best parts are in Hamtramck and Royal Oak.

they were 13 under and have pulled back up to 8 under .500 with a 4-game sweep of the Yanks at home, and a 3-gamer in Anaheim.

Detroit's a hoot, but I know people there.

People were talking about this being an historically bad OF before the season. Nobody needs to prove anything at this point. If they keep Periera through the end of the year and off-season, they still have 4 young, controlled, strong OFs. Let's not forget Brooks Baldwin. And Tanner Murray probably could have started to figure out hitting in the bigs in a few more weeks.

And for everybody who has demanded Trevor Richards be DFAed after every pitch, he has a 1.42 ERA in his last 12 appearances.

The bidets make flushing more purging.

Cuyahoga Drainage Basin, STAND UP!!

He's a rookie. I'm pretty sure they can tell him he's earned his spot, but because of normal roster issues, he's got to take one for the team, and go back to AAA. They can assure him he'll be first up in the case of an injury. These guys have all been benched in HS, they've gone through soul-crushing slumps, they been on horrible teams. I can't imagine Gonzo would take the wrong message from a normal roster crunch.
