can Stone or Miller be had for Gio? Doubtful, but that would be nice. I bet they like Miller more, but maybe they think they can get make WS run this year with an MLB regular

seriously? bat flipped the walk too lol

I wonder how many breaking balls pitchers throw vs the Sox vs every other team in the league. the scouting report has to be "just throw sliders and you're on track for a perfect game"

already more successful than anderson

"the sacks packed with seamen...mariners..."

I dunno how this shows up in WAR but Vaughn is actually good at first base.

How about Grandal's walk rate: 2021: 23.2% 2022: 12.0% 2023: 7.3% they realize that the runner gets to go to first base after a walk, right?

they're a computer company and should've stuck to that

benintendi checking soxtalk between at bats

this entire bit with the kid in the outfield is just uncomfortable. all of apple tv's games are just weird.

why is apple tv doing an alaska airlines commercial while pitches are being thrown?

I guess this is a matter of debate, but Luis Robert is to me the obvious #2 hitter. I don't know why every team doesn't put their best hitter there and Robert has speed in addition to power. Perfect #2 hitter. Like, how many wasted at bats are there now over the course of the season with black holes Anderson and Benintendi taking those extra at bats? Unfortunately there's no one to lead off. Nobody gets on base on this team or walks. Sadly Benintendi is the best for the spot, I'd say Vaughn but at least he can ostensibly drive in runs.

even worse, 0 for his last 15. it obviously worked lol

I think Bummer is equally confused.

There was no logic to this hire except he's Cuban-American and the front office/probably Reinsdorf thought he would make the Cuban players play better. This is a conspiracy theory but I can't think of any other reason

I thought Carroll was a left fielder but I guess he's played enough innings at CF. Because yeah he's having an incredible season!

I really don't buy this logic that 100 is some magic number that cannot be crossed or else risk your arm falling off your body. Is there actually any connection between this pitch count versus, say 120, and a reduced risk of injury?

did anyone really expect any other outcome?

wrong thread.

he's way better than Kiermaier (who's no slouch). Fan vote is stupid and wrong in every sport. Off topic but I'm thinking about stupid sports awards, next season we'll see some very strange award choices in the NBA. New CBA has added a minimum for required games played in order to be eligible for end of season awards (mvp, all-nba, etc) to help curb 'load management.' except the teams and players don't care so maybe Zach Lavine will be MVP next year and joined on the first team by Pat Williams.

it's funny because we pick him apart because he has a lot more potential....but he's still statistically the best center fielder in the league right now.

WTF. the last time this happened I was at the game and we didn't score the rest of the game (vs Orioles)

Guess he was DFA'd to make room for nobody, and nobody wanted him.

he barely even made contact and it's gone...it left the bat and i'm thinking it's a bloop single...
