I'm now watching Chelsea-Arsenal.

If they're going to continue with 9 inning DH, I think the team that is behind ought to have the option to concede after 7.

Once Giolito, Lynn, and Cueto are all back Dallas needs to be DFA.

I didn't think it was possible for me to miss Leury Garcia.

Every time someone suggests Burger over Moncada at 3B I'm referring them to this inning.

Why not throw Lambert and this lineup against Bieber and then Keuchel and the G1 lineup against McKenzie?

Eloy not in the lineup so I'll go with Yasmani Grandal.

The Kane County Cougars average 3,554 last year

I think you're on to something. Soxtalk gets one lineup challenge per game where the manager has to make a change.

Has there been something they should have challenged? I can't think of anything.

Who do you have the least confidence in vs RHP right now: Vaughn, Sheets, Eloy?

No chance Rodon takes the QO. Boras pushes his clients to reject the QO, even if it means not getting a serious offer. See Conforto, Michael.

Eloy Jimenez

So I hope it's this, as I am going Tuesday for my first game since 2019. Wednesday - Keuchel + Lambert Thursday - Cease Friday - Kopech Saturday - Velasquez Sunday - Giolito Monday - Keuchel Tuesday - Cease

Kuechel is 1-0, Bieber is 0-0. Obvious advantage to the Sox.

Luis Robert

Gavin Sheets

Eloy Jimenez

I watched some of the Olympics and he very much looked like the peak Robertson from the past. Rays must be wondering who they pissed off to get sent to Chicago for 6 days in April.

There really shouldn't be a one size fits all approach to hitting. Guys with good speed and limited power should 100% be focused on putting balls in play and minimizing strikeouts. Guys with worse speed and better power need to be focused on putting their best swings on hittable pitches. Unless you have Frank Thomas level plate discipline, this is going to result in more swings and misses, but you're going to get full value on your SLG from those swings.

Except that ticket prices can vary by location but beer prices really can't, so optimizing ticket pricing is a bit easier in that respect.

Not a fun night to be out at a game in Chicago.

I choose secret option C - activate Giolito and have him start Wednesday.
