We scored one run. This is a team loss from a bad team. Pointing to high leverage mistakes is easy but unproductive. Mistakes happen on all teams. Score some damn runs.

In his last 30 days he's hitting 189/289/301 with a remarkable 39K in 96 PA.

Go enjoy your summer guys. Life is too short (if you're over 30) to worry about a team this s%*# and with bad ownership. I'm just keeping it real. I'm ashamed I even bothered to post this after checking the box.

did you ever stop?

Catcher by 2025.

lol.

Doesn't matter really, we're into the denouement for this story. They only real question is how long until JR passes so we can move into a new story.

As I posted the other day: Burger and Robert have combined for 3.5 fWAR, the rest of the team -.5 fWAR. We have a bottom 1/2 farm system, our best piece is currently just coming back from a significant oblique injury and we also have several bad contracts on the MLB books after giving premature extensions. There's no there there! We're boned.

Don't think you can overstate this. They have the money, they have the west coast access to Japan. I'd say they are like 3-1 favorites against the rest of MLB to sign him.

There's a million reasons he won't sign here, including the losing, but let's just keep it simple: our owner is too cheap.

You know you're getting old when you forget what sort of player a guy like Andrus was in his prime. He was pretty electric.

No doubt, just cycle through some guys see if you can find any winners.

I'll just call him Taint. As in he's now tainted with the stink of the White Sox org.

I'll bring the sauce, you bring (and buy!) the scallops @wegner

Every time I see this dude's name all I can think of is seafood with a mustard seed mayo based sauce.

we can't even tank properly.

What he's done is nice, but like most of our guys, he's a very flawed hitter.

f*** BUMMER. I can't fucking stand him. Another stupid Hahn signing.

Keith Law was right on him, FML.

Fangraphs has the Twins projected for 82-80. I highly doubt they outplay that by 6 games. I would bet that the winner of the center is closer to 80 wins than 90.

Burger and Robert have combined for 3.6 fWAR. Burger has 1, and Robert has 2.6. The rest of the lineup has combined for -.5. fWAR. There's no there there anymore. The true talent of the roster is around 70 wins. Furthermore, the extensions to Moncada and Eloy now seem premature and will hinder any trades. The Sox are in a really bad spot, much worse than they were prior to the rebuild. This is a bottom five MLB roster, a bottom 1/3 Farm, and several players are on contracts bigger than their performance warrants.

The 2006 August collapse really sucked. On paper that team was better than the 05 team.
