this team just sucks right now. it happens. get home and get healthy and get the fucking bats going.

huh? league average is good when you're surrounded by stars. sox never made stars and scrubs work, that was the approach prior to the rebuild.

huh, this guy seems pretty good. has some pop, elite glove. good addition, gave up nothing really.

is this the dog trainer guy from TV?

it speaks to the how much $$$ is important. Nobody really wanted to take on Gallo's 20 million next year, CBA depending. Let NY do it is my opinion.

god damnit

one more!

lol benetti, get this man a clue.

HAWK WOULD HAVE DIED.

THIS MAN IS A PROFESSIONAL UMPIRE.

he TAGGED HIM, GTFO BUCKNER.

good play yoan, need a k.

much needed levity on a night the sox could retreat to only 8.5 games up.

try to look at the big picture.

nice thing about yoan is even when he's slumping he's still a 350 obp

ANDREW VAUGHN

ANDREW FUCKING VAUGHN IS THE MAN.

I would not write them off. For all the bitching and moaning from their fans you'd think they were like 10 under .500. Last time I checked they were like 4 games out of the WC and 5-6 over. TB is scuffling a bit and so are the As. Mariners are a joke, the Tribe, er, Guardians? Probably will finish with 85 wins at best. 86 wins might take the 2nd WC, Yanks can do that.

we could be the fucking twins, they got hammered 17-14 today to fall to 17 under .500. I will not take these winning seasons for granted that's for sure.

We couldn't do jack shit in this division for 15 years. Pop the fucking champagne and hang a banner when we wrap this up in late September.

Eloy keeps it up he'll be manning CF!

it makes me miss Madrigal but yea, it's nice. Imagine having another 320 hitter in the lineup instead of Leury or Mendick or whatever 1.5 WARish rental they get.

Which yea, isn't really even a weakness. Most teams would be just fine with that combo, and most teams won't have 8 other guys as good as the Sox.

Looks quite a bit like a left handed Dayan Viciedo with a much better eye. He's probably like a 1 WAR player as any everyday player but as the long side of a platoon where he can get some starts at 1B and DH he's a useful player to have on the 26 man.

They have been arguably the worst Big 4 North American sports franchise since their inception in the 70s. You just can't make this trade. It's similar to the White Sox' White Flag trade optically. Sounds like the clubhouse is shell shocked and the Mariners are getting ass whooped by the Stros tonight. They aren't a good team, they have a -49 differential and one of the worst offenses in MLB -- but you just can't make this trade. The long time critique of Dipoto is that he's basically just a tinkerer with no real vision. You can say what you want about how Hahn operates but you have to agree that when given the chance he was able to execute his vision for a contending WS roster over a 4-6 year time frame. What vision does Dipoto have other than sorta making these incremental moves season after season where the Mariners remain locked in a very White Sox esque 75-84 win pattern with no real chance via the farm to get over the hump to being an actual good team that can win 95 games and a WS? There's just no there there for the Ms.
