Scott Dixon is the overwhelming favorite but I'm tired of him winning everything. Would love to see an Andretti or Carpenter car win.

I'm not old enough to buy beer and I'm the designated driver anyway. Just got to our seats about 10 min ago.

Winning doesn't mean things can't be better. The Sox are near the bottom of the heap in production from the #2 spot. So bad that they once felt having the #2 hitter bunt with runners on 1st and 2nd made sense.

I'm watching cars go 230 mph today but I'll be following on Gameday.

Akin vs Giolito. Sox going for the series sweep!

Nice!

BOOM!

Wait, what?

If you compare Gradal's production and contract to other players you'll be disappointed because he's a catcher and even slightly above average offense from a catcher costs a premium. Look at what McCann got.

I'm generally in favor of swinging 3-0 but NEVER with the bases loaded.

Means vs Lynn Let's sweep!

So does an admin want to change the name of this thread for the first game tomorrow or do I need to make a new one?

How much more rehab does he need? Get him back up here!

Have you checked out NewsNation (formerly WGN America)? They have a primetime newscast that seems to be pretty straight news.

I think Madrigal works better behind TA rather than in front. TA is faster and better base runner and Madrigal is a better hit/run guy.

Regardless of whether this got re-named for an old drunk guy or anybody else, the point remains that this family had something taken away from them. If you are naming something for somebody, you either tell them up front that it's temporary for x years, or you do it permanently. You don't name it, then change it without telling them.

I'm seeing rain all day but ending between 6:30 and 7:30 so they might be able to get it in.

Harvey vs Keuchel tonight. Maybe. Edited by Admin: nope, see y’all Saturday.

Wait, what was that from the Cubs game? 1B running the batter back to home?

The offense has been particularly bad against bullpens but the Orioles bullpen is its own category.

Good for Marshall for proving me wrong.

2 of the first 3 hitters are lefty this should be Crochet or Bummer not Marshall.

Ha, they put in a lefty reliever so Lamb or Eaton wouldn't pinch hit and Hamilton comes through.

Both teams have 1st and 2nd with no outs and don't score. How pathetic.

I was just going to say the same thing. The offense is underperforming but there is some bad BABIP luck compounding it.
