GT 8/20: SOX @ TB, 6:10 ESPN3/NBCSN
It his pretty crazy that Eloy and Luis have both come back and looked better than they ever have (that triple notwithstanding)

If a 2 war second basemen is the worst player in your lineup you’re going to win an awful lot of baseball games

God the way he says pito is so annoying

GT 8/20: SOX @ TB, 6:10 ESPN3/NBCSN
If he didn’t round it like a dope he’s safe by 5 feet. But I guess you could say he shouldn’t have been sent because he might round it like a dope

Nah he wasn’t touching that

They are third in baseball in walk rate

The send was the right move. Vaughn just ran like shit

Owners propose 180m luxury tax, 100m salary floor
Yeah that's not how that works, revenue drives salary, not vice versa. At least it should, it often doesn't anyway but the players getting paid less does not reduce prices of anything

Kimbrel’s Option
I'm not writing him off either, there's just a hundred scenarios where it was worth the shot that don't end in a white sox world series. They've increased they're certainty in 2021 and 2022. If they aren't still good in 2025 and 2026 it almost certainly isn't because Nick Madrigal is gone.
-
Kimbrel’s Option
Idk, this feels pretty myopic. If Madrigal continues to struggle to stay in the lineup, or the Sox successfully self scouted and realized they just traded when the last time anyone saw him was when he was on a heater that he won't match again, it's almost impossible for the trade to not be worth it. Adding Craig Kimbrel at the deadline, when they did, is basically the best possible thing they could have done in an effort to win a world series in 2021.

Playoff odds
Feels wrong to have the Yankees below the A's at this point. May have to go look if these are reflected in vegas

Vaughn's defense
I can think of two and it's the ball eeeeeearly in the season that didn't look all that bad, but most LFs are probably getting to it, and his first game in right where he just dropped one. That's about it.
-
Vaughn's defense
I have zero doubt that trying Eloy at first is a god awful idea.
-
Kimbrel’s Option
Madrigal and Crochet both don't really make a ton of sense for them in the current state too. They're miles away and both of them only stand to get them from 65 to 70 wins for the next handful of years.

Orioles claim Burdi
Hamilton is possible the most snake bit player of all time

Orioles claim Burdi
Kinda funny how we were just all talking about the impact draft picks have had like month ago and now Burger and Sheets are back in AAA, Madrigal is across town, Burdi is gonzo, and everybody hates Collins. Granted Vaughn, TA and Rodon are still studs, and Madrigal turned into Kibrel, and that's still a damn good drafting outcome
