What do you think of NYS? I went a couple of times when I was living in NYC, it's better than the old one in that it doesn't smell like piss and it has a nice video board. Other than that tho it wasn't anything special imo. I like how you can still see the D train through the outfield gap tho, that was a nice touch.

he appears to be a "timing guy" early in his career. for a guy prone to minor tweaks and DL stints that's not a good combo. I hope he can stay healthy and hit a bit here to close out the year. He has had a very mediocre year so far, he can turn it into a solid effort with a good 30 games here.

take that rock bottom!

Great win.

For about 3 months in my life I could touch the rim. I'm pretty short, 5-9 on a good day, fairly long arms for my frame but nothing special. Hit a lot of HR tho. I'd love to be able to dunk, just once, to experience it. Hitting a HR is pretty special tho I would say it's about as good of a feeling as recovering a fumble or an INT.

Well standing o time I guess.

that's his vesting option they reworked his contract for the tank year.

Guys I regret to inform you Fangraphs gives the Sox a 0.0% chance to make the playoffs.

What are the Sox even tanking for? 3rd pick instead of 4th maybe? Guess I could be arsed to look at the standings.

Totally. Renteria is a joke.

His steamer projection: 293 .337 .509 So basically he'd be the best hitter on the team instantly.

They are paying TA like a 1.5 WAR player and he's looking like a 2-3 WAR player, so that's a win.

it's too bad none of these fucking guys can field a lick. I hate to belabor the point but given how easily they have found cromulent DH types the last year it really makes little if any on field sense to keep Jose around given his contract situation. oh well, i'm back to checking box scores on non kopech days but it's nice to see a win. rodon and kopech could be a money one two punch the next few years. carlos rodon coming back and pitching not just decent but very good after his injury scare is such great news for the rebuild. nice to get a "win" there.

Best thing that can happen for this kid now is to get lost in the Kopech hype and then get lost in the Eloy hype when it happens. Ricky installing him as the leadoff hitter was a mistake in hindsight, a big one. Kid's had a bullseye on his back all year and he's obviously not mature enough to handle it yet. That's something the manager, especially one annointed a "latin whisperer" should recognize IMO. It's the same BS we saw when Robin anointed Eaton. Stop crowning these guys in spring fucking training. The managers we've had in Chicago since Ozzie left have been absolute dog shit and it's not doing the players any favors. We need a fire and brimstone type imo. Girardi would be perfect for a guy like Yoan imo. Has the gravitas to make him work and not in a father figure role but as his boss and leader.

God damn we need rain HERE, not in fucking Chicago. Come on Lord.

we just can't have nice things.

pitchtrax had it good, in the zone.

WOW! FASTBALL COMMAND!

lol, never change.

that's why you challenge, stupid ass coaching staff.

broken bat flare, of course.

fucking challenge, wtf is wrong with this staff

that didn't hit him

Solid. I like it.

frame the pitch omar, ffs.
