you could see he was off balance last inning but made it work.

Sheets is seeing the ball well.

a wide open stance and a long bat path, death combo.

LONG ass swing, JFC.

what a horrible swing.

Very nice carlos.

I'm just saying that Leury isn't going to accept that deal. I have no idea what the final deal will be, teams are increasingly, especially the Sox, coming up with a lot of creative ways to incentive the deals for both sides. If he takes my proposed deal I'd assume there is some sort of vesting option at 300 PA or so for 2024 for 7 million additional to take the AAV up to around 5.75M.

Hopefully he's not heavily invested in Evergrande...

Detroit has been playing pretty good baseball.

I'm a little too lazy to look at his batted ball profile right now but it seems like he's managing to make more contact while also not really losing his ability to pull the ball in the air.

lol reminds me of the gold star you'd get for getting in line quietly to go get your 2% milk and fruit roll up at snack time in kindergarten.

It's one thing to recognize how you're being pitched and to try and go into every AB with a plan, it's another to actually execute that plan and have the commitment to stick with it.

Astros aren't exactly playing great ball down the stretch either. If the Sox could just sustain a 4-5 game winning streak they will be right there.

Was out of town most the weekend and in general with CFB, NFL and Euro Football in full swing there's just nor much bandwidth left for almost meaningless (the Sox themselves have signalled this) baseball. Playoffs are going to be awesome and exciting however.

Not a chance. Either another year or another 2-3 million on the AAV. Something like 2/10 with a club option feels likely.

Dunning was always going to be a decent 4th starter maybe a good 3rd eventually you don't get a player like Lynn for Steiver, you get one for a player like Dunning.

Hi, is it the year 2005? *checks hairline* nope.

lol charge him with assault with a deadly weapon the way he's been swinging.

lol no.

Totally different TBF. This team has had the division wrapped up for a month now. There is literally zero chance of blowing it. They blew the division last year and puckered like bitches. Now if they do the same in the playoffs and get swept yea I'll be leading the charge to fire Tony.

Fuck this shit. Cya guys in the playoffs. Too many other sports going on right now to GAF bout this limp dicked march to the playoffs the ORG has decided on.

Honestly he might be an improvement over some of the trash we've thrown out the last few weeks.

He's nothing special in a corner either. His bat looks closer to 250/310/450 long term as well. Looking quite a bit like a guy that might have some nice 3-5 WAR seasons in his absolute prime (Mitch Hanniger like for a Mariners comp) but that still needs A LOT of development. Avi is another one perhaps.

Ah fuck even worse. Stupid short series HFA will mean even more.

Very little about the 2nd half has made sense that's for sure. I just hope the proverbial switch gets flipped in October at this point. I can handle a competitive well played series loss to the Astros but a sloppy poorly managed 4-1 Series loss isn't good enough.
