Setting up the ole triple play

Tuesday he pitched pretty good. Today his stuff looks dead.

He was throwing 98 the other day - at least on the stadium gun on Tuesday.

Is el duque available?

Wild pitch time

Just hit a bomb burger. Duck small ball.

Holy sheets that is bad.

My bad - reason #2 of why I am not a mlb manager.

Walking Outman who has been slumping to face a guy who hit a grand slam today.

What do I know - but I still don’t get why you wouldn’t have put a runner on and at least put a double play in order?

Why would you not wal here?

Nothing will change until they clean house and change the culture. Top to bottom - whole sale changes. Nutrition, coaching, analytics, high standards and expectations, etc. top to bottom.

Two bad pitches Eloy swung out. Now crush one.

Why is Gavin Sheets batting 2nd?

Let’s get one more and than score some runs.

Please get a dp. Should have been one on the ball Mookie hit to Burger. Throw strikes Kendall.

Total head scratcher.

Nice at bat by Frazier.

It’s interesting - I personally think you can get a beat writer to cover multiple teams. Might actually mean they ask tougher questions cause they are less dependent on one franchise. That said - you will absolutely lose a bit on the nuggets that can come up on the fly when you aren’t in the clubhouse every road trip/every game. Still rotate every other or something and you can still do it and get pretty damn good coverage. Above is pure business - with that said - Fegan is great and I hope he lands on his feet quickly. sucks that our favorite baseball franchise is so damn irrelevant.

Good news. Hopefully it’s more like spring training soreness and just a small blip in his incredible comeback season.

Jimenez was hammering the ball In bp today. Him and Burger were two guys I saw who showed easy power. Sheets is warning track power in bp. I didn’t see Roberts take bp, but presume he also has plenty of power. Yoan should be traded if they can. Don’t care how good his d is. I give up on him. He will crush it when he goes to a good org but it ain’t happening with Sox.

The reality is - I don't think there is a huge correlation here. Guys should be able to run it out, period. You coach it in little league, you coach it in high school, it is coached in college...yet in the pro's we just stop doing it. I don't buy it and guys should do it across the board. Its like load management - I don't see a strong correlation between the guys who do load management and them being health(ier). If anything it seems like in the NBA those are the same guys who are constantly hurt. I do think you need rest - but that is what off days are for, etc. But if you consistently don't do it and than on a play where you need to you put on the gas - that is how I actually think an injury will happen (cause you are excerpting yourself in a way that your body is not used to / trained for).

Bulls are going to be interesting this offseason - seems like pretty good chance at a minimum a soft reset and maybe more. Would be a good sign if they take those steps.

Every once in a while the ads go funky for a day or two; I'll look into it later tonight. Remember though - having ads helps cover the overall cost and ensure the site always remains free (which I have said for 20+ years and continue to reiterate - this place will always be FREE).

I still go back to how much I wanted him on the Bulls all the year(s) ago. Obviously wouldn't have worked out, but he really was a darn good player for a long time. Defense a challenge - but he could score.
