Damn. Nice battle.

What 5 mound visits so far?

QUOTE (Insp @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 10:04 PM) Why are so many of our batters swing on pitches so clearly outside the strike zone? Prolly cause they have been strikes tonight

No more mound visits

Need some wild pitch offense again

Nice call for a change up from Sanchez

He hit a homer tonight

When we get robot umps this game will be played about why

If you are writing off Anderson and Collins this soon you wouldn't have wanted to follow judge and Sanchez in the minors

I hope we don't do a bunt

Yikes.

Sometimes baseball happens. A rocket just went to our shortstop, after two Nubbers went for base hits.

Lame. One of those innings. 2 ground balls find a way for Kahnle.

This will be fun

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 09:22 PM) seems like every night we face some world beater. Do we get to face Tanaka?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 08:06 PM) Never said it was smart by me I think it was the early scouting report we heard about him being a grinder This is why player comps hurt more than they help.

I like a lot of players. My favorite proposal was Yankees with Frazier Adams and Florial. I really like Braves system including Albies. He's a player ruined by comp bias, and anytime I see a player with reviews about baseball IQ and acumen I just think they end up as those undervalued cogs on teams like the Giants that just win. If we go Cubs, I think if we get Jimenez it's backed out by players like Albertos Ademan and Wilson, further from majors and easier to sell out on. Pick 2.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 07:25 PM) Seeing as though I thought the Sale trade was a Rodriguez or Groome (or Devers instead of Basabe) short, I agree. But I just don't think the Sox will make sizably lesss than their demands, so I think he ultimately stays here for the time being. I think Sox won't back down on the top target I think what fills after that will be unexpected.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) Why? You seem to think the return for Q will be s*** anyways. I don't think it will be s***, I think it will be good. I just think board way undervalues prospects in the 50-150 range in these trades, like they are worthless throw ins.

Very nervous for this game

People are going to be very disappointed with the return.

On queue: ChiSox: Do you have renewed faith in Micker Adolfo? Dude is hitting bombs this year. 1:08 Eric A Longenhagen: There are some statistical red flags, I’m still a bit apprehensive.

All athletic outfielders are jared mitchell until the end of time.

There's not really much we can do, an 18 year old power hitting SS would look really good in our system even if he's not a future SS. But just reflexively getting mad at any hint he's actually good just seems based on envy to me. Still substantial risk in him. BUt I'd rather have him than shields.
