His command is ... poor

I came into say I have very low confidence in Colome here. Plz be wrong

I had fully revised Luis Castillo in my brain to now refer to the pitcher so this was super confusing to me.

Obviously that's dumb but I will say when I did the exercise it is extremely subjective in deciding whether to bother with a Minor league contract that is likely a major league one out of spring or just fodder. There are way more FA signings than you remember. But...mccann was a guy who was expected to be a 25 man guy right away. Pretty easy to figure that one out.

lol the amount that stop at t+1 But yeah including EE's 4 game and ignoring McCann is some extreme pnoles shit

Hahns FA elephant graveyard of players he signed that would involuntarily retire after their white sox contract is way long. Lucky for him Yonder signed with the Rox so he can't count.

Anytime you can sign a reliever coming off major surgery to 9 mill a year you do it.

Man, going out in St. Louis isn't even that different from staying home anyway. Idiots.

He should be, he was activated from the 60 day dl before being outrighted, a groin injury ended his season last year.

Just really sad.

I can't believe nobody is into this. That no one has signed him means he's probably toast, but baseball has been wrong before.

I only saw the 9th as the 6pm start times are by far the worst. Anyhoo great win, and it continues to be so funny to me that we have to live in this world where we pretend that Ryan goins is more major league ready than Madrigal for oh, 1 more day

poor guy.

I mean, at least replace Herrera good lord.

Danny. Salazar.

I'm interested to see if that region 4 (STL metro) actually implements the snap back policies when it inevitably hits 8% soon for 3 days.

Since the rebuild has begun (and before then, aside from a hot streak in 2015 that led to not trading samardjiza lol), July has just been a trash show. Pitching all gets bad at once, feels like it happened last year and year before that and ruins the 2nd half. This year, we started in July and same. This starting pitching is unacceptable. I'd rather they be wild with great stuff than worsening their stuff while still not throwing strikes. But that's been the coop special.

Worse!!!

So he probably didn’t have Covid then right?

And also choosing mark fucking kotsay over Thome and also batted him leadoff

Enter Young pitcher for Indians: Me: “Man this guy is gonna be good” * throws 8IP with 15Ks and 2H * Enter young pitcher for White Sox: Me: “Man this guy is gonna be good!” * throws 2 1/3 IP with 13 BBS and 10 ER

Considering all the cities with 4-plus leagues, would be an interesting concept to make like an athlete soho house. Make deals with the leagues to stay there, industry workers/families can be members, ex players keep membership and can stay there when visiting cities.

also good news, the reports about only a few months of antibodies likely don't mean much:

I hope we get another set of remdesivir reports. It's been pretty widely used in key hot spots since then. Due to scarcity, it's been mainly used in the sickest since it showed its modest improvement in hospitalization there. But it really would be good to know if it helps when it's deployed earlier.

this is uh, questionable spin: I mean that's great, but a .3% positive rate nearly derailed the season on day 3. That's not a success and they need to be more realistic on what is needed to be competitive and safe this year.
