.400 BABIP. Maybe he's a useful player but this won't last long.
-
I like Giolito a lot better when he decides to throw his curve like he did last night.
-
With him retiring, no members of the 2005 Chicago White Sox will be active in MLB.
-
There's no reason for Giolito to be up here. His starts have to be demoralizing for the rest of the team at this point. I get that they don't want to use that last option - but either he's good enough to stick on the roster next year or nobody is going to want to claim him anyways.
-
This year's Cubs team reminds me of some of those 1990's Indians teams. Great offense, and they do a good job beating up on 4th and 5th starters and blow games open when teams bring in their 7th and 8th relievers. But come October you're not able to do that, and this year they don't really have a pitching staff built for October, and their bullpen doesn't exactly put fear in people's eyes either.

The dumb decision to walk Gallo backfires

I'm completely against expanded playoffs. One of the things I enjoy about baseball is the fact that the regular season still means a lot - unlike the other sports. The format now is really good. If MLB does expand, I hope they do four 8-team divisions instead of eight 4-team divisions.

I'm 3-0 at games I attend this year. I think they should hire me to go to the games haha.
Atmosphere at the game was fantastic. Had great seats and the craft Kave was a phenomenal experience. Next time, definitely buying $7 dollar tickets and sitting there the entire time. What a fantastic view.
Side note...Daniel Palka is HUGE.
It's only $7 to sit there? Man, I've got to do that.

I understand you want the best players available, but at the same time the Sox need to hit on this pick and I'm not sure I want to risk it on a pitcher (how has Fulmer worked out?). College bats are the safest route to go. I'm going to be pretty disappointed if they pass on Madrigal/Bohm.
-
I wish the Sox would try Moncada in center field, like the Mariners did with Dee Gordon. I feel that his speed and arm would make him a great fit out there.
-
It would be too late to do this now but you wonder if they ever entertained playing in Milwaukee, as the Brewers are out of town. Obviously the Twins want no part of that though.
-
It will be interesting to see what they do this weekend. Weather sucks, but it's also tough to postpone an entire series.
U.S. Bank Stadium (where the Vikings play) is actually configured for baseball, as the University of Minnesota plays early home games there. I wonder what it would take to play a couple of games there.

They still have to figure out financing so this is far from a done deal.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 8, 2018 -> 10:42 PM)Looks like the Hawks are gonna be in the lottery this year (which honestly might be the best thing for this franchise). 4.5% odds of the #1 pick and rising.
We're probably better off just rooting for the losses to start piling up at this point for better lottery odds and hoping the ping pong balls fall their way.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 24, 2018 -> 08:45 PM)Santana and Jones are both significantly better than Vizquel who is inexplicably getting a lot of support.
Johan Santana was the best pitcher in the game for a 5 to 7-year period. I think he's a Hall of Famer and it's criminal that he's off the ballot already.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jan 1, 2018 -> 12:32 PM)How do you usually cash out?
I just started using Bovada, but I'll pry use the check option. I was using BetUs and they deposited the money on a gift card they sent you.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Dec 31, 2017 -> 02:16 PM)As most of you know, I'm a degen sports bettor. For the new year, I'm going to use this thread to post my bets and show my YTD earnings or deficits depending on how the cookie crumbles.
If you guys want to tail my bets, feel free. I use bookmaker and bovada for most of my bets and I might add some money to betonline. If you don't have accounts and are interested let me refer you at least. =)
I start tomorrow, let's hope for a great 2018 in all facets of life!
Cheers.
How is the cashout process on Bookmaker? I'm using Bovada now but I'm with you on the awful lines.

I'd guess there's a better chance this is about Abreu than Machado
-
Roberts is the superior manager in this series and it's not even close.
-
The solution to the Thursday Night Football issue is to add another week to the season and give each team two bye weeks. Therefore, the NFL could set it up so each team has a bye before their TNF game. This would also get rid of the Super Bowl bye week, which everyone hates.
-
Well, the Cubs have lost three in a row but the Brewers are about to get swept by the freaking Reds.
-
It's unreal how unlucky the Nationals have been with injuries. Eaton out for the season, Werth/Turner/Taylor miss significant time. Strasburg on the DL and now this. Thankfully for them that division is awful and he should be back for October.

Wow, what an episode
