I wouldn’t bother with this now but getting ahead of a Castillo DFa was the right call, swihart still didn’t figure it out, it’s yermin time, then Collins.

Sosa is really doing a nice job lately. Up around .250/.650 as a 19 year old in a tough hitting environment, pretty pleased personally. Also didn’t notice Osik was moved up to Kanny.

Gleybar Torres has 13 HRs against the Orioles this season.

Looks like perfect weather

Good stuff, I actually agree with keeping him in AZ over Great Falls to stay with the coaching/facilities. If they thought he was good enough for a jump to A ball next year it's one thing, but if he proves he's good enough for pioneer league early next year you can move him up to single A by July and still have him well on his way. Since we are only one of a few still doing instruct games, hope we can hear more about how he does.

So weird heading into a bears season with expectations again. I really believe in Nagy, so I'd be pretty bummed if there is major regression this year.

I watched succession season 1, and I liked it but I didn't really feel like there needed to be any more to the story. It said what needed to be said.

lol was just coming on here to say I started veronica mars out of no where and can't stop watching. I would have never guessed I'd start a show with this many episodes at this point of tv oversaturation, but I have really started to like the change of pace of both the serialization (to a point), along with its smart pop tv sensibilities.

I mean he looked like an ace and then we found out a bit why.

And the fact that he knows baseball helps. He was pretty anti Baines so that may be interesting

According to Jon greenberg at the athletic. He used to run firejoemorgan, has a podcast with Posnanski, and is a show runner for the office and the good place. hes hilarious.

The question is whether you value 2020 more and want him to struggle now with an offseason to adjust or if you want him to struggle next year while we are ostensibly competing.

Gonna be hard for yolbert to beat out Wilber at this point.

I hope they just show that 2003 u of I /arizona game and force him to watch it the whole time.

Wilber Sanchez >> Yolbert Sanchez Hilarious how often there are high scoring DSL games that don't ahve any standout performances. But Bailey was 1-5 with a 2b.

I would say one thing people should keep in mind is that soxtalk has often declared a contract "untradeable" including Verlander, Greinke, etc. And not only were they tradeable, they got back decent value pieces. The untradeable contracts are the Pujols/Cabrera's etc. But strangely the sox seem most amenable to spending big on one dimensional veteran sluggers.

it was a joke

Feels like raffle is probably best way to do it.

Yeah, I can't follow the meta discussion around who is allowed to complain here, but it is incredibly tone deaf to me that the only time sox execs appear to open up and answer honestly is when they are asked questions where they can b**** about the fans. The sox have either been poor at executing or outright misrepresenting their intentions on many steps along the rebuild. Then its "jeeze we said it was a rebuild, you just need to trust us!" I used to listen to every hahn interview, there's no point now even beyond the ongoing joke about his lawyer speak. Hahns' favorite line about the check box is the perfect example of what's wrong with their mindset. They think if they do something once they are finished. When they signed robert it meant they were done with needing to focus on lat am. The critique is that they don't explore every avenue to get better, not any individual tactic along the way. He has a very good job, I don't cry tears that he is upset. I obviously very much want this rebuild to succeed, but I don't think their process has particularly earned that, and I will continue to think they are not particularly good at their job even if we do get to the playoffs unless I start to see changes in how they operate.

You guys focus too much on our good prospects and too little time on the ones that will likely fizzle out in A ball

Sam Abbott homer

Amazing how Ron is so successful at what he does

All other sports: let’s take this on the road and play in huge international stadiums to increase exposure to the game! Manfred: what if we played in the middle of a cornfield where no one can watch, would that speed up the game?

wow that's a big bump for stiever. I think my top 30 would probably remove all the relievers.
