Yea we should have seen him have 300 or so MLB PA way earlier than this given the state of the team.

So he kinda sucks at 3B (as reported by yours truly) but if he keeps hitting like this he's got a role. Insane what statcast has as his percentile for BA. We are in a new era boys. If you can hit 280 as a player you are almost assuredly an average regular all things considered. And he's got some pop. Interesting profile, a guy that can probably hit a bit, but isn't a great athlete and probably will need to hit like 280/320/420 to be a solid regular. Honestly maybe he can do it. In today's game if you can hit for average with pop it carries value, it's rare.

Huge rally and win for them today. Sparked by Julio. Even tho I half heartedly root against them it was cool to see Julio lead the charge, he's a helluva player just in a pretty bad slump. For a minute they had a 1 game lead and a negative RD, then Julio hit a solo HR and that really seemed to ignite things. Hitting is contagious.

Yea, I will always respect the guy for what he was able to do here. He wasn't the best GM, but he was far from the worst. That said, dude is now 60 himself and I'm not sure he's got anything left in the tank given how long he's been playing ping pong upstairs with Michael Reinsdorf and crew.

They claimed Dock Ellis. Yikes.

one of the more promising games of the year really. shame it won't last.

Yea sure I agree but in our case the recieving team would certainly be worried about all that. So the Sox have incentive both ways. I'm fine with how they are handling Garrett. There's no clear science here if his arm feels good, let him pitch. He's built like a fucking sequoia now and has a solid base in everything but prior innings.

He's holding his own and looks to be developing into that useful utility guy role whenever we get a real team around these parts.

Bro I don't have a side in this fight but it doesn't necessarily follow they'd be juicing Crochet's innings to facilitate a trade. If anything it makes sense to limit his innings as any contender will want to have as many bullets in the chamber as possible the ROS.

Mariners are scuffling big time. They now have the lowest BA in MLB, even worse than the Sox, although the Mariners have more slugging and patience it's no great shakes to be worse than the WS at any offensive category, certainly not for a team that fancied itself a division contender. FG has their playoff odds still at 67%, but division odds down to 57%, was over 70% a couple weeks ago. Only a +4 differential now at 47-40.

We're only a sweep away from once again back in a dead heat for worst record ever. I'm confident the Tribe have it in them.

I was wondering about that. Figured it was just something I was missing. But yea, makes perfect sense.

Maybe we can pawn him off on Seattle, who is going through it right now with Haniger and crew in their OF.

That's the same dumb s%*# when Robert had two strikes and they sent Pham the other day. No advantage gained because robert didn't want to swing it was such a good jump. but, we've been running with our sluggers up going on 4 straight managers now. Must be an org thing. Used to drive me nuts when they did it with Jose.

HISTORY

Sheets' SLG has fallen below .400. Pour one out. It won't go back over this season most likely.

HISTORY

Jim's writing is nails on a chalkboard to me. Always has been. Even when the Sox were decent. Fegan is awesome. SSS was a shell of itself since the Cheat and Jim left. I played softball with one of their writers awhile ago that was living in Seattle at the time and even back 10 years ago at the height of SB Nation she said she got paid like 25 bucks an article. Oof.

That's fine when you're a 3-5 WAR player. Not so much when you're an utter scrub.

Dude is just shameless. Something is off with him. It's like becoming a famous MLB player broke his brain.

He just got another jumpoff knocked up I believe. Lovely. What a bum he turned out to be. Used to love the guy.

I'm pretty checked out. I see Maldonado has a .250 OPS, that has to be approaching the all time futility mark for his amount of PA, right?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
