  1. I totally agree with you here on spelling Luis Robert now and again. So for that reason, Phillips could be very useful. But it's also time for some of these guys to put their big boy pants on. Playing 150 games shouldn't be a crazy idea. Last year these were the game totals for these Braves players: Ronald Acuna Jr. - 159 games Ozzie Albies - 148 games Matt Olson - 162 games Austin Riley - 159 games
  2. Ummm Eloy??? *ducks* Aren't his numbers far superior when he fields rather than as a DH? Team's not really going anywhere, so I'm not that worried about "injury risk." Then we can get Salvy to DH!
  3. Were Montgomery' AFL results really that productive? They don't seem like much on Baseball Reference, but maybe I'm missing something.
  4. Sorry, what? These rules seem pretty reasonable.
  5. I guess we overpaid for Moncada... 17.8m this year, 24.8m next year.
  6. Getz has added two glove guys... whatever questions you have about his attitude aside... it would be weird to depart now with our best fielder.
  7. I cancelled mlb.tv after this season cause I just wouldn't watch enough rebuilding games for it to be worth it. Now I'm happier to have made that decision. Best of luck Jason. You rock!
  8. Couldn't have said it better myself. White Sox related stuff aside, it is a great and touching personal story. Bit of a love story for baseball as well.
  9. He struck out 12 guys three starts ago, so obviously there is still something there.
  10. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's been just two starts. And in those starts he has already given up 4 homeruns.
  11. I am going to reserve comment on all the other stuff, but just wanted to say there was nothing wrong with Tim's tag on Ramirez. Ramirez came in like a bat out of hell and there was inevitably going to be some hard contact. Also, I've watched a million games and don't remember Tim ever being particular aggressive in this aspect of the game. However, I missed the play where he may have pushed someone's hand or leg off the bag.
  12. I'm as puzzled as anyone. But benching a former batting champion for a guy with a career 700 OPS in the minor leagues is not a no brainer.
  13. This wasn't as impressive as I thought. The media was making him sound like Willie Mays.
  14. I have heard (or read?) that those sprint speed things on Statcast don't always tell the whole story. For example, when Tim is running full speed there is no way he has below average speed. In terms of Moncada, he usually starts hitting right about the time these posts pop up on Soxtalk. So here's hoping! At the very least it would be nice if he at least added some patience to the lineup.
  15. Did Yas hurt himself? I notice that Seby replaced him late, but I don't think I heard why.
  16. I'm still mad at Luis Robert for not cutting that ball off...
  17. At least Apple TV won't have that annoying Casamigos Tequila Ad flashing all over the screen and obscuring the pitches. I hope...
  18. Omg, Frazier has 13 plate appearances and has been given up on by 3 or 4 major league teams and Soxtalk is already ready for him to supplant Vaughn.
