Lol isn’t that the definition of personal?

Where is the dunk?

Yeah I don’t know. I fully expect them to be running out bullpen games in the playoffs.

They’re measuring it differently, but that’s only part of it, because velocity has been increasing steadily for years. Clearly a larger part of it is advanced strength, conditioning and training, with an emphasis on velocity. Athletes are stronger today. I don’t think any of this is much of a mystery.

The game is ruined?

That’s the thing though. His style of being excited and positive all the time is better suited for a winning team. Bringing that style to a bad team with a jaded fanbase is not the best fit.

Retractable roof stadiums too often feel like fully enclosed domes. I really like how Miller Park/American Family Field has the windows in both left and right field. It really opens it up.

Now this is committing to the bit

I get it, but that makes me worry that there will now be threats to him and his family. Just perpetuating repulsive behavior.

Absolute stud

Who was the last home grown hitting prospect that turned into a decent major leaguer? TA?

This sounds like something from a Jay Leno tonight show monologue

IMO they should simply build around guys who get on base, make good swing decisions, have speed, have power, play great defense, and have impeccable baseball IQ, coachability and work ethic. Not really sure what they’re waiting for.

He just got ejected like a week ago

If it were truly moot, there’d be no point in paying any attention to the team until then, yet here we all are anyway.

Yes

Well that’s me, so yeah.

I would absolutely love a book and/or documentary on the 2019-2024 Chicago White Sox.

Okay so then something worse than a lottery ticket, which further emphasizes my point.

While I don’t think they’ll get anything interesting for him, I can understand better teams preferring to acquire him for a lottery ticket prospect later in the season when they’re ready for him to eat innings rather than signing him earlier and clogging up a roster spot when the need might not be as critical.

I understand the concept of needing a body on the pitching side. You need guys to eat innings. But finding yourself in a position where you “need a body” at first fucking base is so pathetic.

One question I have with regards to Ryan Noda is “WHY?”

Anyone remember HorseMasterFred?

10 homers isn’t that many. It just feels like a lot because that’s how bad the team is.

He does not care
