https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_NBA_draft "The 2019 NBA draft was held on June 20, 2019" The 2020 NBA draft was held on November 18, 2020. The draft was originally scheduled to be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 25..."

Baseball fans: "I hate the offseason. It's so slow and everything takes months to come together. I want it to be like the NFL or NBA where everything happens together" Baseball: "Puts the all star game, trade deadline, and draft within 3 weeks of each other" Baseball fans: "No not like that".

Iirc a deal around Glasnow and Meadows was actually the White Sox request. The pirates balked, and held onto both guys, only to have the value of both decrease when they got to the big leagues and had normal early struggles. They then traded them at their low point in value.

No almost about it.

I think Lucroy has shown he's happy to hang around this season to collect as many big league paychecks/games as he can. He might well do that for longer that this year.

Really?

Usually this is another way of saying "He won't actually be traded".

Since 2019, Javier Baez has 6.3 fWAR, Eduardo Escobar has 5.2. If you count 2020 as weird and don't penalize them for it, Baez is still at 6.3 and Escobar is at 5.7 over 2019 and 2021.

Baez is projected by the Fangraphs systems for 1-1.4 fWAR the rest of the year. Escobar 0.7 to 1.1. Baez's salary is 66% higher than Escobar's, so he costs about $2 million more. While I don't believe "Mat Foster" is a reasonable return for either of them as it would seem weird for LaRussa to not have done that trade already, neither one of them should cost a fortune for 2 months.

Quite clearly Kopech needs innings, so he should absolutely be contributing to the rotation whether it's as a 6 man rotation or giving a lot of spot starts. But, that would take away one of their only two reliable relievers right now, which is a problem that needs to be dealt with in the next 9 days.

But he also said it depends on how each pitcher is feeling.

Hannity has been. Their morning show, Tucker Carlson, and Laura Ingraham - pretty much the leading antivax voices in the country thanks to their audience sizes, and interesting their antivax messages seem conveniently presented in very similar formats as the person I was replying to. (Examples: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/11/business/media/vaccines-fox-news-hosts.html, https://gizmodo.com/anti-vaxxer-tucker-carlson-says-hes-not-against-vaccine-1847279168, https://www.newsweek.com/laura-ingraham-covid-19-vaccines-dick-durbin-tucker-carlson-fox-news-1609209, https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a36967699/fox-news-anti-vax-tucker-carlson-just-asking-questions/ )

That's why I went looking for the original blurb.

"Hmmm, I wonder if Pineda has done anything since the White Sox faced him last, I remember them hitting him pretty well." Pineda's last start - July 7, 5.1 innings, 5 ER, by the White Sox, his era jumped by 0.41. Well, that answers that question.

"Look, everyone thinks vaccine passports are terrible!" "Except Fox News, who are using a vaccine passport in their own business while their hosts are saying how bad vaccine passports would be."

There is not much left of that baseball.

Clearly safe!

I thought he had him at the plate, he must have gone in under the tag.

What the f*** statcast?

Well this isn’t the wrong move. Just shows how the lineup backfired.

The White Sox have utterly demolished the Twins this year. If they were .500 against the Twins, Cleveland would be right on their tails.

That was his "decision"? He decided to pop out? In a situation where he shoudln't have been hitting anyway?

Prior to today it is 3.14 (Pi!!!), good for 5th best in baseball.
