yes, indeed it is august.

this is a good way of putting it. It's crazy though because the sox are definitely the team that's out there where I still don't really know what they are. The offense has had a number of different faces and succeeded without power and failed without power, and now failed with power and maybe soon succeed with power. The starting pitching has been dominant, the bullpen has never all been in a groove at once and the manager has not had a "ride the hot hand" philosophy. I could see the sox succeed in playoffs with just a dominant rotation and some timely hitting because I've seen them do that. I could see the offensive talent we have find a groove and take over and a dominant bullpen emerge where the starting pitching fades. This team does have a number of ways to make it work, but it also gets in funks where the mechanics of what's succeeding aren't quite in line. overall, I still think the lights turn on and TA leads off games with homers and eloy is back and we roll and have a good chance at the CS.

I also don't think this is the NBA where it's like "okay let's try harder". I don't necessarily think it's a switch, I just hope that a number of our players get hot at the right time.

I mean the 2010 giants, 2017 yankees I didn't even think that hard.

I mean the sox may not have a switch flipped, but lots of world series teams or teams deep in playoffs have a flip switch before and people didn't know the switch would flip. They are good, they have a lot of good players, but are in a bit of the doldrums which are incredibly frustrating and there is a chance they never shake out of it this season which would suck. But I think they will.

Promote him to assistant to the GM and then get someone who can watch a monitor and make a phone call.

see 2019 season. I think Georgia just couldn't look past fromm's rookie year where he seemed like he was going to be the next murray/stafford. He never really got better and it's such an easy offense to put the numbers he put up in. You always have incredible runningbacks and offensive line, and he's in the SEC East. I don't think anyone really takes it from the 2019 LSU tigers, that time was incredible, but hard for me to believe they aren't in at least the playoffs in 2019-20 if they didn't stay with Fromm.

It’s crazy to me that mlb hasn’t made a hall of fame game in cooperstown.

Man just an amazing caulfield post here.

Was that Cam Butlers first game last night?

Infuriating. But as with the Cubs meltdown…felt like a foregone conclusion.

Did I miss the memo on Rodriguez being nicknamed Popeyes?

Nice validation for some performances that felt like they stood out. Mentioned it a few times, but sosas numbers since 6/1 are excellent and consistent. Seems like since he adjusted he’s taken off. AA is tough and Kanny was tough for him, so if he hits the ground running that’s encouraging but not necessary

Looks like pats second half was awful. Better build that endurance now.

His FB has good velo but his stuff doesn’t look like it’s moving that differently in Baseballsavant. The exception is a better dropping curveball. It’s all working now and he has better control but I’m still in wait and see mode

I find this whole thing very dumb and can’t get worked up about until I see the punishment.

lol

The thing is, this stuff doesn’t come from bulls or pels. It comes from agents wanting to brag about the number. We heard he signed before the trade package

That was easy

And let’s not sleep on the Sosa homer

This is pretty awesome what Mieses is doing

Here’s video!

Yay congrats Colson on his first major league hit, a double

Pretty good day for Kelly, 4 IP 4 H 1 ER and only 1 BB. 2 ks
