bottom 4.

huh? everybody knew the guys they traded away were studs at the time they were traded. they did a horrible job signing FAs that's been their main problem.

yea but the candy man isn't it. he came in with a 59 OPS+. LOL, that's Engel territory.

rickie is in love with the squeeze play like nobody I've seen. It's a smart play in the late innings when you need a run. You should never be trying it before the 8th inning.

it's nice to see. different vibe this summer at the park.

stop fucking trying to squeeze in the god damn 4th inning.

HELL YEA!

lmao at Eloy

last pitch wasn't a strike but for once it goes the other way we'll take it.

Come on quick inning he might get through 5, one more!

jesus changeup looks nasty too.

wow nasty.

you walk a fucking bum like that you deserve to give up runs. mofo was chocking up the bat and ready to hit a squib to 2nd and you walk him.

100 right into the screen behind that fat woman's face. Was sorta worth it for her reaction.

lol can anybody here play this game? Or at least pitch for it?

extending him for 3 years would be batshit insane. On the open market he'd be lucky to get 2 years 18 million.

Thank god he got that.

No command. Familiar refrain.

I mean, it's true. You can argue it has nothing to do with pressure or lack of but it's true. When the Sox are long out of the playoff hunt Jose turns it up. Is there something more there than he likes the hotter weather? Probably not, but it's interesting.

Which doesn't help much when they Sox are 20 games back in August.

Nice, I got a relaxed schedule as well the next couple days. Haven't watched a full game since TA went down that will change this week.

I have a hard time calling anybody a 6+ true talent player. For Moncada what would that look like? Probably about what it does now except with another 20 points of OBP and slugging so something like a 300/370/550 line and then a win of value at 3rd defensively and maybe another half on the bases. So about 6 with the bat and then 1.5 with defense and baserunning. He can do it but I don't think that's his true talent level, at least not right now. Maybe when he's 26-29.

Part of why Moncada won't get too hyped is that his value is being above average to good at every phase of the game. Add it all up and he's a 5 WAR talent but it comes in quiet ways for the most part outside his rocket HRs or reaction plays at 3B.

damn, that's brutal. from 60 to 90.

It appears that Chicago and Upper Midwest will not have summer this year. It will probably be 90 in September however.
