  1. Hard not to rise from rock botton Greg. Was easy to see the rise coming just by some of the youngs guys from trades arriving. It could end up being a 20 game improvement from last year. Now it'll get harder there wont be a 20 game leap forward from this years win total. Im not saying it'll be impossible but it ' ll mostly have to be interally driven. Highly doubtful they get any highly impactful veteran player from elsewhere.
  2. Jim Essian. I think he hit at least 1 rooftop shot in old Comiskey. Those didnt happen often.
  3. Royce Lewis too but better pitching eventually will help .
  4. Haven't seen this too often the last few years. Season high 5 game win streak too ?
  5. Wicky ! I feel like he belongs in a Transformers movie. Maybe I will need to translate that one .
  6. There's a point where if you're not commanding pitches or your FB is too straight bu high velocity you can miss barrels and still give up quality hits but he's got plenty of time to work on his command and fix things. He still hasnt thrown many innings since he started college. This year is the most innings he ever pitched and it just around 57 now . Still got a long way to go if anyones expecting him to be a starter.
  7. When its that high you're throwing a lot of meatballs.
  8. I guess I just don't understand why you'd think he couldnt. He's young strong and a good hitter . Especially good for a young catcher . I might have more faith in him becoming a multiple year All Star player than anyone on the team. It's been a great development year for him.
  9. Was thinking I'm the leadoff hitter & Im not as slow as everyone thinks. Oh I guess I am that slow !
  10. Taylor, McDougal , Vasil in the rotation seems like a long shot to me. They won't even give Taylor 2 inning relief appearances and even then he's not exactly lighting up MLB hitters. I think were pretty far from seeing those 3 in the rotation together during the regular season if ever. Pitching is so hard to predict when guys are ready.Schultz is still a baby with a balky knee and no innings. In my eyes they are exactly what they are right now. A bunch of youngs guys learning how to play in the big league and a roster still in flux. Every facet of the team needs to get much better just to reach . 500. Just a few months ago we were talking about 100 loses again this year and many people thinking they couldnt get to 50 wins. Im excited to see what happens next year but not excited enough to think any money gets spent outside of Robert, and knowing JR that isn't a given ,or picking up Perez' $10M option. Also not a given.
  11. I know but sometimes one (me) might think one had something to do with the other seeing as they got a player from us then we got one from them not too far apart. What was it maybe a week or 10 days apart ? Like ok you claimed our guy so we'll wait to see who you put on waivers and claim him. Like a trade without it being a trade. I know other teams could've claimed either guy so its not likely. But sneaky stuff goes on like phantom IL stints.
  12. Oh thats the other guy they got about the same time as Pequero right ?
