TLR said that Vaughn is one of the purest hitters he has ever seen. Hmmm....

Usually criticism comes from analyst.

22 k's versus just six walks for Gavin.

1/15. Nice Sheets. Royals hadn't won back to back games since mid April lol.

Sheets 1/14 this series but no PHer.

Of course we will leave in Sheets against LHP...who is close to going back below the Mendoza Line.

LHP Speier off bench. Will Engel Garcia or Grandal be utilized?

Sousa got the job done. Not exactly Murderers Row. More problems from Harrison and Sheets. Royals' announcers calling Harrison out for not hustling enough.

Chicago summer heat and wind blowing out? Detroit rotation in shambles? Your assumption is based on even distribution when that is highly unlikely.

We will find out with Scherzer.

Long Covid. Doesn't affect anyone while in Charlotte though.

No no no. Still on pace for over thirty considering time missed, weather and humidor impact.

And he actually has been running quite a bit this year. Rivero must have a cannon.

He meant Jimenez Moncada Robert...guess you can include Vaughn on the back end.

How often do we say that about the Sox defense except for times when we are trailing? Pretty rare this year.

So frustrating. Ron gets his win for today on Abreu...at least so far.

Robert and Anderson absolutely carrying the offense.

Spoke too soon.

As if we needed it this weekend, Yankees making signature comeback in Baltimore. At least Cincy took 2/3 in CLE. Just reinforces how bad both Central divisions are right now.

And the Samardzija trade. And basically all his FA moves for position players.

You're forgetting who won the Central in 2019-20. They have two MVP players and a LOT more financial flexibility than the Sox or Tigers. Sometimes moving on from expensive vets like Cruz and Donaldson is addition by subtraction when you have such a young team. Kepler Sanchez Jeffers Polanco Larnach Kiriloff Lewis are younger players and they have a much better farm system. Already jettisoned their aging/expensive vets except for Urshela and Arraez.

Pretty much the standpoint of any rational AL Central fan since 2016.

But his fWAR is lower due to how many games he missed. So hard to say he's more effective when is missing so many games. When's the last time he played 145 games?

High school kids and being a high profile professional player on camera all the time and highly scrutinized are not the same. Keep it in the clubhouse with that good ol boys stuff.

The Twins traded Berrios in a similar situation and it worked out fine. If you can't extend him...there isn't much choice because of our far system, draft position and lack of payroll flexibility over future seasons.
