  1. we'll take it, slider looked a bit off but whatever.
  2. don't think Stone knew the count there, too busy with the comedy routine.
  3. Carlos is just dominating with this stuff. All three pitches working early.
  4. If it was a random FA pitcher coming off a career year I'd imagine most people would feel differently. There is an attachment to Rodon for what he's done this year after signing the one year deal but Hahn has to take that emotion out of it.
  5. You're out over your skis here. The bursectomy WAS the debridement. The injured bursa was removed as part of the debridement.
  6. Crochet was brutal but so was that 3-2 slider that had the entire plate that was called a ball.
  7. Good on you, too often people confuse WAR as not a counting stat. Anyways, the scary thing is that his expected wOBA is .393 against an actual of .368. If he doesn't knock down almost every power alley wall in the AL so far this year he's probably closer to 2.5 fWAR. If he starts getting a little more luck in HR/FB% look out.
  8. He's a Boras client and there is zero chance he signs with the Sox. It's best to just be pragmatic about it and not pay the "winner's curse" that will make sure whoever ends up signing him gets fleeced on the back end.
  9. Offer him the QO and when he declines pocket the pick. Easy peasy. Let another team risk the downside the Sox can enjoy him this year (knock on wood) and then enjoy a sandwich pick for their QO.
  10. That was an under-rated move by TLR imo. Really went to bat for Yermin after that shitty combo play with madrigal (I blame both of them) and said he wanted to help Yermin stay positive even if it hurt the team to have to move him that day.
  11. Curbelo's swing is a dead ringer for Kyle Lewis. Long levers. Obviously swing and miss issues come with that, but also big power.
  12. Vlad Jr isn't going to put up 11 fWAR, if he does, well, it will be the greatest non Trout season since Bonds I'd imagine. Moncada is off to a nice sustainable 6 fWAR pace. I think he can finish around 280/380/500 for the year with good defense for the 5-6 fWAR. He obviously needs to stay healthy.
  13. A near 50% OBP for Moncada over three weeks of games that is winning baseball.
  14. Makeup is one thing but not having a position hurt him more. The DH spot is only one of what 16 in the world?
  15. I like his fat jowls that hang a good 4 inches below the padding on his mask.
  16. Lol is this a meme right now? My buddy said they were asking it at the Detroit bullpen in Seattle last week.
  17. Yes, and for the most part Chicago has taken advantage of extra outs and sloppy play while largely avoiding it themselves.
  18. Nice bounce back series so far. Moncada is awesome.
