I forgot about that deal...so I don't have to google it...what are the general terms for that contract?

I will take the check swing...but no way did he swing!

I will admit I was dooming and glooming from the moment I saw the lineup posted! When I saw Jake Lamb at DH hitting 8th I was resigned to losing! Not his fault...but on a team that long ago was made up of "too many 1B/DHs"...that is what we are now?

He will get meaningful outs for the White Sox this year...whether those are for equal value to the trade and whatever we do with him will be debatable! That said...we had 3 easy outs in the lineup tonight...which is more upsetting! Goodwin, Lamb and Collins...why? Our DH was hitting 8th and is/was Jake Lamb????

Maybe it is Luis R's chance to be the hero tonight???

I am waiting for this to happen...not a permanent thing but just to do it! Although...would that create a "controversy"? Maybe not doing it avoids a lot of questions about it...

I noticed that as well...it was an awkward walk to the dugout...

Certainly better to face Judge with no one on base! That guy is scary right now!

Jose wasn't even close! Yikes!

Me! Very concerning! Certainly influences "some" of my decision-making!

I thought the Mets didn't offer this kid a contract?

There could be a rule such as the team has to offer a high percentage of the slot value...and if the player refuses it then the team gets the pick back. I guess I am looking at it from the player's perspective.

In this case the rules suck! Make him a free agent and let other teams take a shot at him...and you know someone would! Feel bad for him!

The way the pitchers rave about him...I assume they want Seby to stay! But I was losing interest in watching him throw the bat every time he struckout! Defensively...he seems outstanding.

That bat flip was...AWESOME!

Wow...another embarrassing gaffe for our team! Come on Brian! What will TLR think about that?

Too bad DK couldn't have flipped with Lamber/ReyLo today! Wow...DK (not all his fault for sure) can't win a game in which we score 11 runs and these two are trailing a game in which we have given up a solo HR! Ugh...

Well...we need to turn it back on a bit...more than once every few days!

True...AND left easy runs on the bases! After Abreu got hit Friday night we had the bases packed and K'd three straight times! UGH!

This is just not fun! I mean...I know we are up 8 games and that is AWESOME! But I enjoy watching games throughout the season and the last month has not been fun! As soon as our staff gives up 2 or 3 runs it feels like the game is over! The offense is embarrassing! 8 games is a ton! October will be fun (assuming we win a game/series or play close games! But I hope we see some more offense in the next two months because it won't just magically appear in October! Rant over...

I was wondering the same thing! And if so...what kind of signals was Crochet using?

OK...now I would be happy with a flyball!

I would be happy with a base hit!

Not going to be popular...but gotta move TA out of the 1st slot! At least for a bit! He seems exhausted...and if he isn't going to make things happen...maybe Hernandez can?

I enjoyed watching him because sadly there doesn't seem to be a place in baseball for a guy like that these days! He kind of forced his way into the situation! I wonder if he would even be up in the BIGS yet if he happened to be a 5th round pick yet performed the same way during his brief MiLB tenure? His play reminded me of the way baseball used to be...neither better or worse...just different! I can't root for him though...just can't do that for anyone wearing that uniform! PS - I was shocked when I heard Stone's critique of Nick on the Score today...wow!
