Corbin Carroll sure does, though.

Replaced by Contreras? good luck getting JR to sign off on that

Noticed Buxton was down to 29.1, that's understandable with all the lingering injuries, but never seen the so called top ranked prospect in baseball Moncada flame out like this since maybe Brien Taylor or Matt Bush.

Just shut him down too. Normally 94-96/97.

Great way to build up team reputation points for FA decisions. Big mystery why Wheeler and Machado went elsewhere.

How is Burger faster than Moncada?

Too little too late. Unless they're trying to drive him into early retirement ala Gil Meche.

LaRussa thinks Leury is actually Jose Oquendo or the player and not coach McEwing.

Rodon ?

About the same as Kelenic.

See Cesar Hernandez first half 2021.

It has been a constant theme of all the AL Central announcing teams, both radio and tv side. A steady drumbeat in the second half. It’s almost like they talk to each other, players around the cage, guys doing national coverage, etc.

Chris Getz’s name hardly comes up. He went to Michigan and played for the Sox. Protected. Same with Hostetler. He must know what he’s doing, he worked for the Braves.

Not to mention one was an MLB season record 14 innings long.

Or even Zavala bailing them out at catcher…

Never going to happen in a million years. Him or Turner, for that matter.

If the Guardians can get away with Miller/Naylor at first…or add Abreu for free, why would they give up their best pitcher for that? Don’t see it. Vaughn becoming an All-Star for CLE, sure.

Barry/Berry, I think it was...

Not sure, any "sabes nerds" out there with a full explanation, lol? Greg's words, not mine, I think they're just groovy.

Rongey or Dave WIlls would be MUCH more fun right now. McKnight should have a starring role on Leave It To Beaver with his peppy enthusiasm and lack of any questioning at all.

Twins and Tigers have MUCH more legitimate arguments on the injury front than the White Sox...

I have been to Koh Samed (near Rayong, eastern seaboard) but never Samui. Right now, everyone says Samui has been one of the most devastated touristic areas of all due to it's relatively isolated nature and extra flights to get there after arriving. Heard that Phuket and Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai are getting better by the week. Didn't have to pay for visa or deal with all that hassle...not being able to find ATM's with money, incompatible with my bank cards (for some reason can only take out 10000 baht per day), making change for 1000 bills constantly, overcharging for prvt transportation, etc. Even with the price gouging to make up for the last 2-3 years of lost revenues, it's still quite affordable, especially the amazing seafood.

I'm in BKK/Bangkok. Fly out tonight (in theory) back into mainland China for 7 day quarantine, followed by three days "stay at home" when I can finally fly home from Zhengzhou China (I have to pay for room for seven days but have completely random allocation from 1 to 5 star). My family all is supposed to not see me and stay in different places while I wait out those three days, lol. One of the craziest travel experiences ever. Spending $1000 on Covid tests, 6-7 rebookings, cancelled or suspended flight due to a valve problem (United), sleeping 2-3 hours per night all week. figuring out every possible way into China (Taiwan and Macau turned out to be a bad plan my wife and I changed at last minute since nowhere to even stay since priority for residents/foreign work visa holders)...still nervous something could go wrong with the paperwork in the end. So much bureaucracy. Only people masking in the world are Asia/Asian and mostly Chinese students abroad. Only people making money are QT hotels and testing companies. As for Thailand, my Chinese friends made me go to NANA Plaza to a Japanese bar, lol. I was in Bangsean/Chonburi seeing my former co-worker and teaching a class of university students (French majors) even though I have been away from my own classes back in China for 22 days now. Met two women from Angola, a Laotian, Eastern European wanna-be backpacking English teachers and experienced monsoon rains in 24 hours. If it wasn't so damned expensive right now, would also like to travel for 6-9 months and enjoy that feeling of freedom instead of going back into the uncertain prison-like atmosphere of China with never-ending lockdowns and testing. Thailand has amazing food...just starting to fully reopen again but won't be back to "normal" (meaning 2019 levels) by their predictions until 2024/25. Think I've spent $7000-8000 total on flights/cancellations/rebookings/health fees for Covid, that doesn't even count food and entertainment. Coming back from China it was $3000+ plus for "one way" ticket booked at the last minute after I got a call from my cousin in Iowa that my mom was near death. Then just last night my wife's grandmother died at age 96.

Hate to see the opposite of "relative success" for any fanbase...

Pretty sad we're getting run over by the Orioles' front office, but they went through a complete revamp and finally started to throttle back on owner interference. "According to Orioles' GM Mike Elias, the team is about to enter into a “decade-long window” of winning.Aug 8, 2565 BE" Blame that weird signature for the date on THAILAND internet, lol. They've gone insane here with their military junta and attempting to control the Internet much like China does. At any rate, the AL East is suddenly better across the board than the entire Central. Red Sox now at the very bottom. Rangers are spending. White Sox had a wide open window of opportunity this last season and completely whiffed on it. Angels might have to do something completely outside of the box and trade either Trout or Ohtani. Only teams not a threat to the White Sox right now are arguably the A's (not going by regular season 2022), Angels, Tigers and Royals...but they're all coming for the Sox, and SOON.
