I wouldn’t be too thrilled with Hill honestly.

You can't really guarantee any new fanbase will take to a team. But, I think Las Vegas has shown a desire for pro sports teams that make it a good fit. Raleigh/Nashville are growing like crazy, but I'd bet Las Vegas handling a baseball team better. Plus, you wouldn't have to deal with re-alignment. I could see SLC put up a fight with its growth as well.

? Why?

yuck.

People are very mad they haven't performed a "sell-it-to-the-studs" rebuild and instead just tried to get better every year and hold it against them. They are the milwaukee brewers of the NL West...except with a 200 million payroll. Like a thomas the tank engine with like a rocket ship taped to his back.

Ah, that seems kinda like a hail mary from that mayor though. If amazon calls tomorrow to build a huge warehouse there he'll probably just take that. But anyway, I'd be supportive. The Park District stuff is such a pain, and it really is about as inconvenient as a "central"-city stadium could get. But the football experience is just different than baseball or other major sports, mainly with it playing so few games.

At 22, I would be pretty excited about a talent like that. I think a lot of the college hitters were unfairly maligned early, and are now starting to turn it around. Given our new "everyone can be an outfielder" I'd be interested in hearing more on Peyton Stovall as he keeps rising with his bat, despite a limited defensive profile. And on opposite end, Will Taylor sounds cool but I'm guessing he'll be expensive as hell.

What are you referring to? The only thing on this I remember was Adam Hoge writing an 'I wish' column when the race track said it would be going into bankruptcy after not finding a buyer.

Listened on the radio over a long car ride. I remember so many stats of Sox horrible records through the years in games without a home run. Kinda nuts having a successful offense with zero power currently.

It actually started ringing a bell when I saw some Sox blogs on it. Kinda black out on 2020 stuff.

So I was really confused about Duke Ellis. His milb said he was drafted by the Padres but found this, he was a udfa signing last year (the 5 round draft) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.burntorangenation.com/platform/amp/2020/6/19/21297378/duke-ellis-signs-chicago-white-sox-kamron-fields-ncaa-transfer-portal Starting CF in W-S he must have impressed a bit

Bham was bad after but McClure was good. Who knows timeline but after spring training I feel pretty good he may be SP depth or BP piece. Definitely wasn’t his trajectory two years ago.

Good lord, this is so juvenile. Please just start a chain email for stuff like this.

Perhaps pujols could be turned into some sort of double-agent that we allow him playing time to chase records if he convinces his mentor and manager to retire.

That 2010 team was a lot of fun too, and it all just seemed like it came to a screeching halt when that idiotic move was made. Seems familiar. Lillibridge was weirdly good in June that year, Andruw Jones was awesome. If they didn't roll with Kotsay at DH that's a playoff team. 88 wins...crazy.

First two nights offense was a lot of fun. I thought bats would be way behind.

You're welcome.

Honestly shocked when I just looked up Ramirez numbers with us. They were way better than I remember. Wasn't he hitless like his first month? He finished with a .420 obp...whaaaa

this is really starting to feel like Major League with Jerry throwing obstacle after obstacle in front of the team except the sox are good. Please nobody "well actually" me about how the team in that movie comes back to force a one-game playoff.

exactly.

Sheets 3-5 with 2 doubles

Sheets and Rutherford two more hits a piece. TiQuan Forbes homered. He’s still somehow only 24. He was a little interesting in 2019 as he started to walk more, but power never came through. If it has arrived that could still be a potential utility guy.

And Gladney had a double. Kanny is so much fun

Bryce Bush homer!

If Kevin cash doesn’t pull Snell in the fifth is TLR our manager?
