Plenty of love for Masai Ujiri and Tim Connelly in these, who are no longer there

Nice game for Uribe.

what is DDL?

Blogabull pointing out that all of these "how the nuggets were built" do not mention Karnisovas. Amazing how a reinsdorf can so easily find the guy that is just there and liked and won't ruffle feathers or try too hard.

Uh, I mean the writers who were laid off overlapped a lot with teams that could not generate national interest. The yankee beat writer stories get pushed to national feeds a lot. Nobody outside (and inside) chicago could feign interest in the sox when the sox themselves aren't interested in competing with broader baseball.

I think the surprising thing to me is the athletic not realizing the situation and just bumping fegan up to cover national or moving him to a better market. SBNation did that with Bill Connelly when he was originally just a mizzou site guy. But here's a pitch to subscribe to BP, which is writer-owned and where Fegan started. If he moves back there, especially.

There are like 7 white Sox fans.

The reality is as much as I like jahns I realized I consume most of his content outside the athletic. The one thing it had was paying for fegans prospect work / player dev stuff and brugler for me. And the draft just happened

The more this sets in the more it bothered me. I canceled.

it is.

I'm not canceling my athletic subscription, because there are other writers I like as much as Fegan whom I'm not trying to get fired as well, but I honestly felt a bit responsible. I would still click into his articles but couldn't even read this last year. It's an embarrassment that our team can't generate enough interest for a beat writer, but I have to admit, they haven't created enough interest for a person who invests a ton in the white sox to want to read about them daily.

We had multiple 5+ game win streaks that year and a 10-1 stretch that basically made the playoffs for them.

I kinda wondered if Yoan was going to be like Adrian Beltre, who had inconsistent and then blazing seasons. But boy, sure is a big difference between historically good defense and good. And years hitting 161 wRC+ and 135. I do think he eventually puts it together.

Very true. As the most pro-bird at GRF fan there is, I can't help but wonder if falcons would be so necessary had they not gotten rid of the alpha goose?

Wow nice job AD

He really is quite tall.

looks like DSL and ACL will start next Monday, soon we'll have some daytime follows. This was a pretty big group for sox so may be a nice dsl follow this year.

bummed I had circled this game to maybe take the kids to but I thought no chance Ohtani played. Wish I'd have risked it.

this is what I imagined romy doing, not great OBP but when he hits getting xbh. No reason not to keep it going.

Fun thing about the Call trade, you have to admit, is it was partly due to Hostetlers piss poor management of the farm, cramming college draft after college draft together and ending up with a legitimately difficult back log as players adjusted to AA. Call was traded out of that "surplus" in a silly trade to gain favor with Machado. As Call hits the big leagues and provides depth, we are basically out of outfielders as the remainder of prospects had washed out, been picked out due to 40 man issues, or traded. Creating a winning baseball organization is absolutely complex and difficult and that's why you should move on from people who cannot handle complexity, like Rick Hahn. Let him just go be a professional rich persons friend in winnetka and keep him away from the team.

nobody knows, the law states the executive branch cannot pay borrow beyond a certain limit but also congress has passed other laws mandating the executive spend via bills that have been passed. It is the silliest dance in the world.

It turns out our SB against has impressed me and yet we are still 28 out of 30, but that just goes to show how low my expectation was lol

pitch com. Like call your own damn sequences then if the pitcher felt there was a difference. I've personally been impressed that the running game against the sox has not been nearly as bad as I expected. But why run when you'll likely get walked and move em over anyway amirite

also those splits aren't that damning.

If the pitchers don't like Grandal's game calling I have zero sympathy in 2023 where a certain rule change happened.
