How ironic would it be if Astudillo comes in and hits a 3-0 homer?

BetRivers had a boosted prop bet of Rodon to throw 10+ strikeouts. I was thinking about doing it but saw he only had 10 or more once this year. Now i'm pinching myself.

5/21 Chicago @ New York 6:05
I was in Toronto with some buddies and saw a guy wearing a Sox hat. He legit said he only wore it because "he saw a rapper he likes wearing it." Lol smh. Also just an FYI, my coworker pointed out to me that the Bears play in Vegas Sunday October 10th. With the Bears there, and the Sox in the playoffs it should be like Little Chicago out there. We are already planning a trip.

The TLR Manager Thread
I'm sure we could debate this point until pigs fly. Based twitter videos, Tlr in the on deck circle as Mercedes came home, etc, whatever. I still agree with the swing just saying based on what i saw, and yermins history, he may have ignored it.

The TLR Manager Thread
And for the record I never said I "concluded" he ignored the sign. I said "it seems to me". Big difference if you want to argue semantics.

The TLR Manager Thread
How long do you think it takes to read a sign at the Major League level? A 95 MPH fastball takes 0.4 seconds to reach home plate. Are you saying a professional player can't read a 1+ second sign from his coach when they are trained to look there right before the pitch?

The TLR Manager Thread
I just re-watched the Tatis at bat. He didn't even glance towards 3rd. Yerm did, like he was looking for a sign. I'm agreeing with you here but just think that aspect of the at bat was different. Here is Tatis not looking at all at 3rd (2:20ish) Here is Yermin looking at the 3b coach/dugout (:19 secs or so) Again, I think this is dumb as fuck but it seems to me Yermin ignored a sign. BTW I bought a Mercedes jersey and stand by him, think TLR is a dumbass. Just saying he may have ignored a sign.

The TLR Manager Thread
Yea that's probably where I saw it but it's hard to sift through old twitter posts/videos. Again though, I think its kind of irrelevant. I was kinda-pro TLR hire before the season, indifferent after the first month or so (figured it would take a bit for him to understand his players and the game after 10+ years) If Yermin blatantly ignored a sign you can get mad at him, sure. But why publicly throw him under the bus? And then you defend the opposing pitcher when he throws at him? I know a lot of people here don't like Ozzie but the one thing I think most of us can agree on is that he defended his players right or wrong. Correct me if i'm wrong but I don't think I've seen TLR come out and argue 1 time this season??? Not saying I want a hot-head but like come on.... I still hope and wish he does a good job the rest of the season but this old school 1950 baseball mantra is dumb as fuck. We are losing viewers/fans and you get players who bring young/new attraction to the game (batflip, etc. etc.) and you want to turn the new generation away???????????? Doesn't make sense to me. Anyway i'm ranting. Go Sox and fuck the Yankees

The TLR Manager Thread
I believe I did see this. Let me check if I can find something. Edit: I saw him out of the dugout AFTER the homerun as he was rounding the bases and he pointed sternly at Yermin with his back to the camera. (Probably saying something like "I told you to take." Still checking tho. Not that this changes anything.

The 10 game voucher pass
I personally didn't care much about the discount, for me it was this: Access to all potential Division Series games, one Championship Series game, and one World Series game (Based on Availability)

Arlington Heights White Sox?
I remember there was talk in the 90's of moving the Sox to Aurora/Naperville. (I believe it was off 88 close to where that outlet mall is currently) As a young kid living in Aurora it would have been a dream come true. These days I live even farther from the park (about 80 minutes without traffic) but still get to a good amount of games. I never experienced the old Comiskey so I don't have any attachment to the location/stadium. With that said I'm pretty indifferent if they move to another location in Chicagoland. My parents however grew up in "SOW CHICAGO" as they pronounce it and would probably find it sacrilege if the Sox played anywhere other than the south side.
-
The 10 game voucher pass
Yes this seems to be the case. I bought a (prorated) 20 game package. My first game was suppose to be May 14th and I sent an email a few days before asking where my tickets were. Apparently they over sold tickets expecting higher capacity (go figure) so they had all season ticket/package holders bid on tickets. Typical Sox move to sell tickets that weren't even available at the time... 60% capacity is 100% confirmed for starting the next homestand 5/24 (Monday) against the Cardinals so hopefully that resolves most if not all of these issues.

Umpire Score Cards This Season
You must not watch the games or look at the data. There is literal proof home plate umpiring has cost the sox over 11 runs this year to this point.

Arlington Heights White Sox?
I would move to NC in a heartbeat if the Sox moved there.
