Yep, very nice. However, you would trade McCann in a second for any of them.

Yes, but come on. Both guys are out-OPS’ing Moncada. One guy plays the same position as Moncada as well as the outfield. The other is a catcher. Let’s be realistic. Moncada: .878 OPS, 14 HR, 44 RBI Contreras: .940 OPS, 17 HR, 48 RBI Bryant: .933 OPS, 16 HR, 41 RBI

Kris Bryant and Wilson Contreras would disagree.

If Gio gets this win, he’s back to having a good chance to start the All-Star Game. Would be 11 wins (1 more than JV) with a lower ERA than Verlander.

Baez plays SS.

Quietly? Pretty sure we all know about it after how bad he was last year.

On the replay, that’s what it looked like. Like he undercut it for a pop fly.

Hope they get to watch their son get shellacked. ?

Why you don’t bunt against a crappy pitcher.

Yoan makes up for stupid Ricky’s mistake.

Ricky is a wizard.

Bunt leading to strikeouts. Love it.

One thing that never changes with the Sox — garbage baserunning.

Exactly, and all the posters who prematurely claimed that not signing Machado ended up being a win for the Sox, he is now sporting an .866 OPS with 19 HR and 54 RBI. Oops.

Dump Yolmer and extend Leury.

Even better when they flat out miss pitches. Amateur hour broadcast for sure.

So is GRate.

Steve Stone used the excuse that Cease’s ERA in AAA was a bit inflated by the fact that they are using the same juiced ball in the minors. But wouldn’t it just be worse in the majors with even better hitters? Weird comment.

He just had a good outing. He could very well end the season with a sub-4 ERA. The Q trade was still great for the Sox and bad for the Cubs but Q is not Nova and the Cubs will be picking up his option.

Why did he sign any of those guys then if he wasn’t trying to compete? I’d rather have seen Hahn save the $40+ million dollars he wasted this past offseason for next offseason then. It’s not like they contributed to winning this season. Most were negative WAR. My point that you haven’t addressed is why would you be so excited for Hahn to have a ton of money freed up to sign guys in the future when he has already shown you what guys he likes to sign? Veteran retreads.

Apparently the same people that don’t give a f that Hahn is in charge and thinks that adding guys like Alonso, Jay, Nova, Herrera, and Santana are good moves. Keep in mind that this is the same guy who gets to sign free agents going forward with all that freed up money the Sox have.

$9 million is 10% of the Sox payroll. It may not be a lot of money to other teams but it is far from inconsequential to the Sox. And it is a massive stretch to say the Alonso acquisition had any impact on Collins. They would have just had Palka up instead of calling up Collins if Alonso was never acquired. Palka and Alonso were both bad so there wasn’t much difference between them yet they played Alonso due to his salary. It seems like you are trying so hard to defend a bad trade and won’t back down now so you are making things up. First it was about Alex Call being a worthless prospect, next it is about $9 million dollars not being a lot of money in the MLB, and now it is about how the Alonso acquisition saved Collins’ service time. You are running out of angles. Hahn acquired a bad hitter for $9 million and cut him before the All-Star break. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as the Tatis Jr. trade but it was still a failed trade nonetheless.

I just think that they drafted White and won’t find a taker for Dunn so that is their PG plan. But yeah, they sure do love collecting PF’s.

I’ve gotta think a team will be able to give Randle more money than the Bulls considering his age and numbers and the Bulls roster. What am I missing here besides his bad D?
