jason call the game dude.

cancel the post game show.

how the fuck do you hit that?

wtf is jason talking about "pastiche"?

good job burr. trot him out there for another.

that's like when you set the pitching machine on 90 mph and then tilt it. holy fuck.

where the fuck do the astros find these guys?

when will the joke of yonder end?

nice play by yoan on a tough hop.

could have been worse.

Well damn.

It's like 6 at this point. It's pocket change in the grand scheme of things. The hold up is likely Hahn trying to save face in the next meeting with JR. Of course I'd imagine even at his age JR can read a slash line and ask his GM why Yonder is on the roster.

So is Eloy playing tonight?

I think at best you could say many were saying "well if it works out fine" but not many where saying it was a good process. My own thoughts were "if it works, great, maybe they had inside info we don't" and if it doesn't work it's the single dumbest thing this FO has done (and they got some dumb ones to choose from) and everybody associated with it should resign in shame or be fired.

Yea he'd be a folk hero there. Really think he should give it a shot after this year.

His leg kick appears to be getting higher. He has the perfect swing to go hit 30+ HR in Japan and get paid a couple million a year.

Castillo is a slightly overpaid strict platoon catcher. He should be facing every LHP. But Rickie isn't that smart.

He's been outstanding in RF from all reports, making more than one game saving play. I have no reason to discount his +3 runs in RF given to him by Fangraphs. That said his true talent level is around 4 WAR (not 6) and no he won't live up to the contract. But again who cares? Signing Harper wouldn't have prevented any other move Chicago would make, not then, not now, not in the future. The Sox are just cheap.

On pace for about 4.5 fWAR, which is better than anybody we got not named Moncada. His 30% K rate is concerning but you can see he's still found ways to contribute as he's been legit in RF and is adding some value on the bases as well. He'll never live up to his contract but there are worse things than having a 4 WAR OF. Would have fixed a big hole in RF for Chicago over the next 5-7 years.

They should DFA Alonzo and give the spot to Palka because it's a rebuild year and who cares. But they probably won't eat Yonder's contract, not yet anyways. It cannot be said enough how stupid the "friends and family" plan was. I'll say it again: it was really dumb.

Yea he's handled it. Still opened up a hole at 2B (Madrigal is years away) but whatever at least he looks decent there.

it's at 884 now.

Imagine watching a former #1 overall prospect develop into a star and posting whatever the fuck nonsense you post about him. WTF is wrong with you as a fan? Christ.

dude be quiet you're incredible abrasive and predicting things like your all knowing isn't going to help your cause. You do realize that Yoan has an OPS over 880 TODAY AS I TYPE After like 30% of the season? You do realize he's still 23?

god damnit.
