Mune has perfectly clean cuts when he goes about his business.

May as well get him a little rest at DH, even though we will be forced to watch Acuna swing his wet newspaper.

It doesn’t look like Acuna can hit at all, which I think the Mets realized. Getz also saved $20 million from the trade but if you could look at some of the players he signed this past offseason, it still doesn’t look great. Kay, Hays, and McGuire cost around $20 million combined. Kay is terrible, McGuire was already cut, and while Hays is good and I wanted him last season, he gets injured as much as Robert.

How dare the Cubs steal our crap from us. Let’s pay them back by claiming crappy Ben Cowles again!

I don’t think that really matters much for Kay anymore. In his 5 seasons in the MLB before he went to Japan, he earned just over $2 million total. I’m not sure what he earned in his 2 seasons in Japan but Getz gave him $12 million guaranteed over the next 2 seasons. Kay will be nearing 33 years old when he is a free agent again. Getz pretty much set him up for life with this contract. Even if he never pitches for another team after the White Sox, around $15 million in total career earnings for a bad pitcher is pretty amazing.

Seems strange. Must be in the head. That pitch to end the 8th was unhittable.

Battle of the bad bullpens. Angels is just a little worse.

Angels bullpen is even worse than the Sox. Was wondering why they brought in Sandlin and his 10 ERA against a lefty. Guess they just DFA’ed their closer as well.

Bido gave up a 400 foot flyout to deep CF to Trout and then gave up a laser beam HR to Soler.

The Beni hustle.

Will try. I am not too far from there. Smoked is good but not when you want to have some beers and grill.

Saw him pitch a little as a Cubs reliever a few years back. Not much has changed.

Game-saving catch by Peters.

Kay is the WHIP-master.

Brooke had to ask around for the scouting report on Mike Trout? Huh?

Saw that. 🤣 I was waiting for the dude to scratch its bunghole by accident. Imagine if it was like 85+ degrees for this game. Wet dog plus hot weather. What a stench…

Before going to Polish supermarkets, I didn’t realize that they smoke damn near everything. I was looking for raw sausage to cook but everything is already smoked.

The best Vodka I’ve had was Polish, not Russian. It was yellow instead of clear but I can’t remember what brand it was.

It’s funny going to different Binny’s in different areas. The River Grove, Illinois Binny’s location near Belmont and Cumberland which is heavily populated with Polish and Ukrainians has stacks of the first three beers you listed. I’m sure they sell more of that stuff than their craft beers.

I would have gone with another vet starter then. Point was getting a guy on a one year deal. Kay is more than likely going to be $12 million wasted on a bad lefty reliever once he is moved the the bullpen, and he’ll be back next year.

Ted Lasso’s assistant coach in the show.

When Japanese numbers don’t translate…

Like I said a week or so ago, he was seemingly giving up a lot of hard hit outs right at defenders in his starts. I think it’s finally leveling out. This guy was never successful in the majors before. Would have rather taken a flier on Giolito for one year and $5+ million or so, although I know all about the arbitration argument over a measly $50K.

It’s like having a west coast game in Chicago. How many people are going to fall asleep to this one?
