How much are guys like Marte going to cost? $25m over 2 years with an option? I'm assuming the Sox are not going to be in on the really big ticket guys.

Decline Kimbrel Decline Hernandez Sign Marte Sign Escobar Re-sign Tepera Sign one more BP arm QO to Rodon, which he likely declines. Tough to say what do with the rotation past Gio, Lynn, and Cease. Probably throw a one year contract old guy into the mix and hope for the best out of meh. Not sure what else to do unless you are comfortable trading away some nice young pieces.

More likely they are the 84 Milwaukee Bucks.

It was pretty funny when Cusack got booed mercilessly at Comiskey in 2008. This thing is pure Southside meatball though.

Bags of dicks.

I was a little kid at the time, what did he do?

I've been a fan for 40 years, but at some point I don't know how people can follow this franchise closely and consistently over time. It's extremely frustrating and often embarrassing. I didn't really watch intently from about 2012 to 2019. I got excited a bit last year with the young talent, got MLB, and was pleasantly surprised. Obviously this year has been fun, but ultimately the same old shit just more talent. That said I am complete sucker for the Bears, I get excited every year, and they are probably even more poorly run than the Sox.

That happened in the 7th, after he didn't have anyone up in the pen to start the 5th and Houston tied the game. And then he brought in Crochet rather than Kopech, so two WFT moments before then imo. And maybe more, I don't recall.

Bang!

Most of that has not been luck.

Putting both games 1 and 2 during the day is so fucking stupid. MLB has its head up its ass. Just put them all in the evening and let them overlap. But even with these dumbass day games they should never, ever have one series play two weekday day games in a row.

Absolutely.

He could still hit pretty well after, but yes. I think that happened with Cincinnati where he was hurt on and off for like 3 years and then never really recovered.

Similar to Ken Griffey Jr. Probably won't be quite that level of CF as he fills out.

yes

Yeah, they weren't even close to being balls. I thought the dugout would be going crazy.

Was it me or did Crochet throw three pitches that were fully within the TV strike zone that were all called balls to Choi in the 9th?

It was completely inexplicable.

Big fan of his. Every at bat is professional and competitive. Great fielder so far, had perfect footwork on the turn last night and just has a feel for how to get the ball and make the play.

You left out Vaughn if I'm reading this correctly.

Putrid effort by Goodwin.

I take solace in that every day in every way, buddy! Game recognize game!

Why does TLR leave Giolito and Cease out for 108+ but pull Lynn at 95 when he is cruising?

Best ball and strike umpiring of the season. Great win, everyone contributed, they battled.
