Absolutely perfect bunt.

This team is trash. Is the Bananas game being televised? Some t-storms in the Chicago area.

It seems pretty obvious that Jerry has no desire to spend money if he’s a few years away from potentially selling the team to Ishbia. So you are probably dead on.

Yeah, I was going to say, no way would Jerry allow that. He needs to get his cut. 🤣

I heard Garfien say this on the post-game. Embarrassing.

Neither. I don’t think he makes it to 8 seasons as GM. I’m hoping that Ishbia takes over in 2029 and cleans house.

Makes sense. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

The Royals are 10 games back on the division and 4 games back on the Wild Card. They won’t make the playoffs. Baseball is fair. The Royals are mediocre but they are still better than Getz’s s%*# ass Sox team. A new baseball commish isn’t going to suddenly make Jerry spend money or make Getz a better GM.

These are the two owners… Meanwhile, the players are usually failed MiLB prospects so they earn even less than MiLB minor leaguers, which is a pathetic salary to begin with (outside of high draft pick signing bonuses). The owner is literally wearing a yellow banana suit and cutting his own promos during each game. The players aren’t making s%*#. Banana man ain’t making money by overpaying failed minor league baseball players that can dance. They are a dime a dozen. Just look at White Sox bust prospects. Jacob Gonzalez will probably be a Banana soon. 🤣 The money is going one way — to the owners, just like with the Sox and Jerry. I watched the Bananas game tonight and there were numerous promotional ads from several Chicagoland companies that they are also making money for. I have zero doubt that that money isn’t going to the Bananas owners, along with Jerry. Chance the Rapper performed and both Buehrle and AJP made appearances. I have no doubt Jerry got all the concessions and parking revenue, along with more money for setting up the appearances.

Sports Media discussion
I think it was only part time gigs for them — pay per appearance. He more than likely has no contractual salary. He thought he was worth more than he was. I’m sure he is regretting his decision to not accept The Score’s offer now. Radio is a dying media when anyone and everyone with some minor fame can start a podcast and make money off of advertising. He wasn’t even really a full-time on air talent. He was a producer for the show. No one knows who the F Shane Riordan is other than Chicagoans so he’s likely SOL. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him eventually accept some job as a radio producer elsewhere and he will be paid the same mediocre salary that he was already receiving from The Score.

Nah, he only clowned AJP showing him the pitch signs when they met at the mound like AJP was a moron.

There is zero power there. Just look at his SLG each month, even when his OBP was good. He’s basically Madrigal with a better glove. Meidroth simply isn’t going to work as a starting 2B. He’s a backup utility infielder on a good team at best. He will never be a consistent .385+ OBP machine with zero threat of hitting even double digit homers a season. The book is out on Meidroth now — he’ll be challenged in the strike zone because he is almost no threat of hitting a bomb. But a utility infielder isn’t the worst result as a third piece of a big trade. Ideally, Sosa’s glove improves and he learns the strike zone and becomes more patient. I have more hope in him being our starting 2B of the future than Meidroth going forward. Meidroth won’t OPS .750+ even in his wettest of dreams in the MLB.

2019 or an untimely occurrence is all we have to hope for, as dark as that is.

All three guys are young players — Sosa, Quero, and Montgomery. It’s not like Hahn acquired them early in his 11 year career as GM. So far, Getz has acquired a dude that has cold streaks longer than his hot streaks in Vargas, a guy in Meidroth that looks like a utility infielder posing as a starting 2B, and a CF in Zavala in the Cease trade that doesn’t look like a major leaguer.

Just saw the Vargas baserunning gaffe again. What a boner.
-
Fire Chris Getz
To be fair, Hahn is also responsible for the three best hitters in Getz’s lineup. Pretty pathetic.

I understand using some of the sunk cost pitchers to eat some innings but keeping Rojas and Taylor around is a joke. They are on one year deals and they won’t be back next year. At this point, they are just wasting at bats that could be used for assessing other players. Getz has traded for multiple outfielders over the past couple years that could be getting assessed right now. What was the point of acquiring them if you would rather play veteran bums in yet another losing season?

Good to know. I love the Aliens and Predator series of movies.

I read it was the most predictable lame ending ever. I’ll still watch it because I love the horror genre.
