The org is doing things the right way process wise for the first time in a long time. Maybe since the late 90s, including the media side of things and fan service.

We over rated a lot of those guys and health obviously was a huge problem. Vargas is on pace to put up more WAR this season than Eloy has in his entire career. Moncada had one good season and 4 below avg ones. Robert was always hurt and when he was healthy played closer to a 2 WAR avg regular than a 6 WAR superstar. Those teams had a lot of prospect talent that never really panned out. This current Sox team just has a lot of solid players regardless of prospect status.

Are the Fire a thing?

Usually these guys get a couple weeks off then join team down in AZ before their assignment? Sounds like Roch is ready to get to work right away. Can't hurt.

I know Gen Z just throws the worst of our early aughts fits together but good lord. He almost had me until I saw the pleats. Even circa 1998, nobody thought pleated pants were cool. If you bought a pair by mistake you got harassed until you went to non pleated.

that s%*# is awful. if that is what passes for "sports writing" let AI take over. Too many awful fleets of fancy sentence to sentence to even bother, it's just non sense dressed up as some deep s%*#.

Couldn't find a stream and wasn't going to try that hard. Saw the Mune replay and then Walker's winning round. Seems like it was a successful derby. I was 50/50 on if I thought it would be good for Mune but as long as he comes out healthy it's fine. Just get him an AB tonight and call it good.

What a time to be alive.

By the time I was old enough to really know what was going on (so like 1993 or so) DDN was seen mostly as a harmless mistake, a laughable footnote on a prior era. When it happened were people up in arms? I'd imagine so.

I like to think it was my 2024 trip to T-Mobile and me IMPLORING Vaughn and Sheets to pull the ball for power. I like to think Gavin telling the dugout "we got a hitting coach in the stands" was the moment the org realized that it's time to embrace the TTO era -- swing hard in case you hit it.

I hope Steve Lyons disrobing makes it on one of these some day.

I can't really get a read on him. He's a unique cat. Quiet intensity type. Certainly a contrast with Caleb Wilson, I don't really prefer either type. Rose was reserved but a quiet assassin, there's more than one way to lead.

Was looking at some some ZIPS projections, they really don't think much of Gonzo. I think he's probably an average regular in his prime or a weak starter but there certainly like a 1/3 chance he's just a random utility guy, nothing more. If they liked the swing at 34 more than that, fine. Probably not a deal I'd make given we're one injury away from needing him back up in Chicago, but I can see the reasons they made it.

Scouting and coaching pulling in the same direction? About time.

We could desperately use another decent SP, hopefully he can add something to the mix.

vaughn over his last 30 days: 222/368/352

can confirm. shes cute but in a room of hot women she wouldn't stand out, her side profile isn't great for starters. that said, let people thirst.

@Colome's Hat I'm hitting the gym. Take it home today.

Why is Sam batting? Should be Junior.

We could use this Kuruda guy. He hits from the right side.

Wow, what a story John!

Yea I don't get it. I've never seen a catcher that doesn't throw it a million feet away asap.

I guess I'm OK with bringing Ozzie back into the fold officially with the jersey retirement. Time heals all wounds. I'll never forgive him for quitting on the team but overall obviously his tenure was positive in Chicago as a player and manager.

Glad we got a big lead, get some subs in the game and let the guys get into the break.

Good job by Will let Noah go into the break on a high note and let Hicks get some work.
