If he *only* had a history of hamstring injuries I'd agree with you. But, hamstring issues are usually caused by poor training and too much tension on the hamstring muscle and tendon relative to the quad and even then will often by the first thing to go on a well trained athlete giving it the max effort. But Eloy? Every soft tissue in his body is constantly barking at him. Like, is he chronically dehydrated or something? Someone slip him some fucking advanced PED like the russian swimmers use or something, crikey.

Nice, I've only been to LA once and didn't get to check out Chavez Ravine and Dodger Stadium. Dodgers fans seem fun, saw a bunch at Camelback the couple times I was at ST.

I think everybody here can remember being 25-28 or so as a weekend warrior or part time athlete or whatever. You know how fucking hard it was to strain a muscle or do similar soft tissue injury? Some guys have weaker ligaments some guys have weaker connective tissue in general, some guys put on too much muscle too quickly and their joints and connective tissues aren't prepared for it and they pull an oblique or hammy or something: Eloy? He looks to play at about 18% body fat, and while he has muscle, he isn't a guy like Robert with tree trunks for thighs and a massive upper body. I have no fucking clue how a guy at his age, with his body type, keeps getting so many soft tissue issues unless he's simply not doing anything needed to stay on the field. I'm not even talking about doing a little work, it's almost like he's doing no work. At best, it's like he's lifting and training with no plan, and then in season he's just stupidly prone to soft tissue injuries that should not be happening to anybody at age 27. Eloy, at least to me, comes across as a guy that expected to roll out of bed and hit 280/340/500 for his career and just expected to never train. That's pretty much where I'm at with him. He's a guy that coasted on natural ability for too long and when he got to MLB and everybody has natural ability he got got.

a game thread breaking out into a orioles piss fest has to be a new low.

Yikes.

After the inaugural pitchfork we broke into the chicago yacht club, smoked a joint on one of the boats, then the CPD showed up, busted us, cuffed my buddy, and then thankfully a domestic violence stabbing call came in and they told us suburban boys to not do dumb s%*# in the Chi anymore. You should have seen the 5 of us trying to swim and hide from the cop boat. One of my buddies actually managed to hide under a yacht the rest of us got busted and hauled into shore.

Can totally see that. That's fine, just stay healthy for a few years and be a solid 4th starter. That's all we ask. Nice to see Vaughn and Lee hitting today, if we have any hope of competing in the next few years those guys need to turn into solid regulars.

The Soxs favorite dilla album is clearly donuts.

He's almost certainly been told to play 80% until he's moved. It's the smartest thing the Sox have done all year.

Sox appear to have been good with that as well.

how the f*** do you find yourself on this message board, in 2024, and still call the guy roberts? I'm legit thinking it must be almost impossible. Anyways, Sox about to lose again and get back on pace for 125 losses. HISTORY!

We have negative war from the position players and a wRC+ team of 78. Yea the bullpen sucks. So does the offense. That's half the fucking game.

This is so good. Manfred, who took over this guy's brain?

This s%*# is awesome man. Powerful stuff. Reggie Jackson went off.

He's got a way to go on that one. maldonado line is below .100

Back on base for 42 wins.

Sheets is getting closer and closer to the mendoza line.

How many times have we been shut out headed into the 6th?

At times it's like an alien is trying to train an AI to call a baseball game. He spits out non sequitars and stupid catch phrases equally.

Here comes the march to .490 baseball!

Lowering Robert's value instead of just eating Beni's remaining salary in the offseason would be such a White Sox fan murdering style move.

Ha somehow I've never seen that one. Frank has a hole harem around him there, amazing.

We have -2.1 fWAR from our position players and have a wRC of 78 as a team. We are talking about lipstick on a pig here.
