I'm wondering if my third place prediction was too optimistic

Maybe with less choices we settle into some lineups that make sense.

We're here, so no.

Reminds me of sending Fisk to the outfield. Old catchers are treated differently.

For those just tuning in it's 0-4 going into the top of the 8th.

Garcia needs to be back in the three spot.

He's too gutsy.

He should have struck out in four pitches instead of three.

Garcia can't play everywhere all the time.

Walk him

Two calls overturned. He's the only guy having a worst day than Keuchel.

I'll always agree to not swinging at bad pitches.

Tony fast on the phone. I'm guessing rotary dial?

So all they have to do is leave the bat on their shoulder for one pitch and all that changes?

Yeah, fall behind in the count instead.

Instead of Pick to Click we should play Pick to Dick. Which Sox to player is most likely to cause the loss?

Especially with so many other options available.

Well that tie game didn't last long.

I'm enjoying them more and more.

The union is in a tough position. In the most pejorative sense critics will ask is the union worried that future players who enjoy choking women unconscious will receive even longer suspensions? It's tough to find a path in to protect players from potential career ending suspensions without defending their actions. In this case someone who enjoys choking people unconscious. I think the two years makes more sense as a starting point for negotiations than what MLB believes will work. Perhaps the union can make a statement that based on the CBA, union guidelines, etc they are required to offer the following assistance as they have with other players. We do not condone the behavior but etc etc etc The real possibility is he accidentally kills someone. Could you image this M Lol B presser? Hey we knew this guys gets off choking women unconscious, we thought he knew what he was doing, but he got a little carried away and this one died. We are confident it was consensual and the grand jury will not be pursuing charges.
