I actually believe them that they just thought it was a small distracting thing that would lead to memes/jokes about a new announcer. These moves that come across as so deliberate and big when send through the social media sphere were likely a pretty small thing that happened and all agreed on. ESPN after all did not announce to broadcast how sensitive they were. They asked if he could switch to one of their many other games privately to avoid some jokes and it happened because switching gamesweeks before is pretty common.

Hopefully he can feast on the AL Central 40 man rosters down the stretch and have a full head of steam/confidence going into 2018. If he makes his career destroying bad pitchers he'll be pretty good.

Folks,

Change up worked very well, I'd guess it was thrown only 4-5 times? I did not see the cutter we heard he was working on this year.

Leury has a bad error and two gun Pete manages to make it about Anderson. Shocking.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 08:49 PM) Slow hook of course. That fastball got really destroyed last few innings Who cares? Let him work through it.

Damn. Funny how quickly an outing can turn.

Sometimes when Nicky is batting I think I'm looking at Scott podsednik

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) Ya, agreed. We don't need him to be an ace, because we have Kopech and Hansen who look to be TOR guys. I can't believe how much he's lost off the fastball though since his Nats days. They must have really screwed him up mechanically. Perfect case of if it isn't broken, don't fix it. He was throwing 95-96 in first 2 innings

Really encouraging to me. Showed that even if he can't locate his Curve, his fastball is good enough to be effective. When his curve is on?

Nice DP!

A good amount of swing and misses too

Nice game for Mendick who has struggled in AA

A nice easy swing that is again only a single for many hitters.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 09:30 AM) Hopefully this works as well for Moncada as it did Abreu. Wellp!

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 07:35 PM) The crazy thing is that Bam tech was a SPINOFF of mlb advanced media. the 30 clubs still own the mothership, plus the 25% of bamtech not owned by the nhl or Disney. There was a lot of pressure from outside forces for mlb to take on outside investors or IPO mlbam. And even then it would have been massive windfall for the 30 clubs. holding pat until bamtech spun off was a smart move. As for the money, since the sox really only have operating losses and don't carry long term debt, they have a huge wad of money that can be used for ANYTHING, but yeah, likely it'll cover Robert's signing bonus and fees. I imagine quite a few clubs will use it for debt service. Thanks for this post. Makes sense.

Id be pretty happy if I was cavs

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 01:43 PM) I thought she said she didn't want to go to back to King's Landing (seems fair) so she was sending Brienne as her proxy? Is that not the case? Right, but when I watched I was like "why send anyone?". They were at open war with Cersei, why would she take that invite without any word from John? And she could have easily sent someone else on her behalf.

This was helpful to me because I had zero clue why she sent off Brienne (possible reading is it was to avoid her being used against her sister: https://www.theringer.com/game-of-thrones/2...-jon-arya-sansa

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 01:12 PM) Honestly...I don't like the 3 eyed raven story. I'd have been fine without it...although I presume there is more of the story still to tell. There were good parts, such as hodor and other information that came out because of him. All these critiques aside, I love the show. I came to respect it because I hated it, but they kept putting in the time and last season I thought it was pretty good. Then, you expect it to pay off when he reunites with people whom his valuable information could help, and instead we get "I see things, lots of them, you once said this, I must go back now thanks"

Bran/Sam, which weren't good storylines to begin with, should be paying off now. But they didn't have time so they became unbearable. The 3-eyed raven could not be more insignificant.

I just hate that he was relegated to 3rd team where he gets less reps during preseason. I want to see Trubisky take over after the bye week. I am unconvinced by the notion that sitting behind a QB for year 1 is this magic want that turns raw QBs into their highest ceiling. Good QBs are good because they can make adjustments during the game, during the season. The bears offensive line is good. They have a good running game. But they have a bunch of same-y receivers. That plays better into the game of a QB who goes through progressions well. That said, I think the Bears may actually be good this year. Good in the "we see the final pieces they need to be playoff team" good.

Welcome aboard! That's good to see. My personal opinion is Hansen will see a bigger rise when the new year lists are done next year.

We have been in Afghanistan longer at this point, haven't we?

does anyone watch halt and catch fire?
