Did Frank Thomas make the thread title?

He probably can. He played a little LF last season.

There was a time about 10 years back when KW was telling everyone who would listen the Forbes numbers were wrong, not even close, but then used the Forbes numbers that stated they used the highest percentage of their money on player salaries.

Texas governor won't throw out the ceremonial first pitch in protest over the All Star game being moved.

Looking at the first several games, the bullpen needed a closer and perhaps another arm or two. I'm not panicked. Its way too early for that. Would like a nice performance out of Hot Carl today.

No one has looked especially good on defense yet. Moncada has made a couple of nice plays, but shaky a couple of times as well.

Estimates they lost $40 million last season. Also interesting, their numbers, who industry insiders say are all wrong, spit out these evaluations, and the Mets were sold within !% of their evaluation.

One thing I don't understand is he seems to think Leury is better LH than RH.

He couldn't PH for Leury. Who else would play SS? Moncada I guess.

He started off like the 2020 version, but he did settle down a bit. I don't think he will be a Cy Young guy, but should be improved.

If Robin Ventura or Ricky Renteria were managing a White Sox team that lost 3 games in 4 days, 2 when they were leading in the 8th inning, and 1 when it was tied in the 9th, this place would be hopping with posts calling for their heads. And they managed shitty teams.

The fact of the matter is, if the previous guy was still here, he would be taking a lot of heat on this board after this series. The defense was bad. The bullpen certainly didn't look as good as advertised. Marshall and Ruiz getting Ls. Not good. I was laughing at Steve Stone the other night when he was jerking Tony off saying individual numbers didn't matter, it was all about the team, specifically pointing out Lance Lynn didn't get his 38th consecutive start with at least 100 pitches. He must have missed how he left Hendricks in a blowout just so he could get a save, and might have cost the Sox a game the next night.

Listening to these ESPN dopes, you would think Ohtani has 15 ks and a perfect game going. Yet itis3-3 and he didnt make it ouf of the 5th

This isn't going as hoped.

So Madrigal makes one bad throw and it’s questionable whether or not he will be able to make throws? Using the same logic, when do you question when Billy Hamilton takes over CF ?

Iowa is pork tenderloin and Maid-Rite sandwiches.

That’s awesome.

The bright side is after Tuesday, the Sox have 2 games remaining this season that start after 7:10. September 7th and 8th, 8:40 starts in Oakland.

Collins is catching tonight. I would imagine they would want Yoan back out on the field to try to get the taste from last night out of his mouth.

Eloy is a beloved teammate with a serious injury who may miss the entire season. Why are so many so butt hurt his teammates are showing him some love?

The thing that concerned me was when they showed the replay in slow motion, that pitch started out way outside, and was breaking even farther. I have no idea what or why he was swinging at it. Maybe he just couldn't pick him up. Especially with tight sliders, it's hard many times to pick of the spin, but even if that was a fastball, he wasn't going to hit it.

He wears an oven mitt, and dove into 3rd. Getting hurt is the main worry for me. He got hurt a couple years ago in spring training stealing 2nd with a feet first slide.

During the year Yolmer won the GG, wasn't he god awful defensively the first couple weeks of the season?

Yeah, if it's a gimme, might as well take it.. It worked out pretty well. But if he got thrown out, and/or was hurt, he'd be getting the business for the attempt last night and today.

It's the Tigers, so not really.
