Can't believe that the Guardians/Mariners are still playing. These teams will be a pain in the butt during the postseason....unless it's Twins/Yankees.

Ron's quest for more likes and emojis is definitely going to be curtailed. I like that all the comments (particular icon choices are categorized). But that whole popularity contest aspect isn't as prominent. Not sure how Fathom and Southsider2K5 will feel as they were dueling for top spot the last year or two. If they did a statistic of likes/post, I would undoubtedly be Bottom 3-5. At any rate, it looks much better. Like SoxTalk is selling a new range of Lexus e-vehicles or something more new-agey. Can there be a stat for highest number of posters reported to Moderating Team, lol? And who has the most reports about their posts, haha.

Dylan Bundy was just $1.8 million, recall Chris Archer being in the Cueto range but not prorated over 135 days out of 180.

Just like the Sox have 109 wins in them...seems pretty unlikely at this point.

We thought it was 2012 again, with the Sox playing the role of the Tigers vs. the upstart rookie-laden Sox played by CLE/MIN. 2003 Chicago White Sox Statistics | Baseball-Reference.com Look at the fifth starters' numbers for 2003, it was Wright, Stewart, Cotts and Porzio. Mike Porzio was far and away the best of those four. Compare those numbers to Kenny Rogers, who the White Sox could have affordably signed. This year, we have Cueto (19 starts), Velasquez (8 starts), Keuchel (8 starts), Davis Martin (5 starts), Lambert (2 starts), Kelly (1-2 starts), etc. Compare to what the Twins have quite cheaply gotten out of Bundy (especially head to head vs. the Sox), Archer, Ryan (trade for Nelson Cruz), etc.

Bundy just owns the White Sox. They would be winning the division if they just chose him over VV. Dylan Bundy/Salary (2022) 1.8 million USD

what about Ozzie doing the 10-12 or whatever Spanish languge broadcasts? wonder what the Q scores are for those, haha? can you get access to that information, in terms of how many Hispanic listeners the Sox actually have? what about radio affiliates in Cuba? they should control/dominate that entire market, but you never ever hear anything about it.

Wasn't he the 30th ranked prospect at the beginning of the year? We spent page after page after page worrying about Adolfo, and he was irrelevant,especially compared to Luis Gonzalez. Otoh, the one who made the most impact was Burger and Martin. Even Lambert would probably be ranked third.

Strength of schedule for 2022 playoff contenders (mlb.com) But Guardians and Twins the two clear favorites according to projection models MLB Playoff Odds | FanGraphs Baseball 2022 MLB Predictions | FiveThirtyEight

Unprecedented financial flexibility. Multiple World Series championship window of at least 3-5 years, if not longer. Worst division in baseball, and it's not even that close with NL Central in all honesty for the very bottom Other four are so much better. And last playoff series win was 2017 or 2016 Indians/Guardians.

Related to Wes somehow ?

Sounds a bit like Konerko, Dye and Thome in 2006…

Trade him for Kelenic...

Berrios is the very worst lol.

Not started by Parkman lol?

Also passed. A Zack Collins/Zavala specialty.

Mom still hanging in at 93, sister 101, dad's two brothers 94 and 97, one fought at the end of WW II in the South Pacific against the Japanese.

Try going back to Keppinger and Harvard Law School, brother.

Next job for Hahn, funeral home director, hospice, palliative care coordinator.

That would be an interesting dating world for him, right?

Great, a $13 million backup OF, $18.25 million backup catcher, Giolito, Lynn, Kelly, Hendriks, Leury, Moncada, etc. Brilliant. 4D chess that is.

CHICAGO -- When Nick Pratto stepped to the plate Friday night against the Padres, he was mired in an 0-for-21 slump. He had not had a hit in nearly two weeks, since Aug. 13. In the four games since, including Friday, the rookie first baseman is 8-for-17 with four doubles, three home runs and 10 RBIs. The best game yet of Pratto’s young career came Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field, when he went 4-for-5 with two home runs and a double, notching his first MLB multi-homer game and first four-hit game Pratto’s process has been key to his surge, even throughout his slump. That’s what’s been most encouraging for the Royals to see from the 23-year-old. “He had a plan on what he was trying to do, what he was seeing each day that wasn’t working and what he needed to do to make an adjustment,” manager Mike Matheny said. “If he can continue to do that and stay in that positive state of mind when things start heading in a tough direction … I think it leads you to being able to have a night like tonight.” Pratto’s second home run of the game set a new franchise record for rookie home runs in a season with 57. His first home run tied the 1969 club’s 56 rookie home runs ….. “It’s definitely a feeling of confidence, knowing that I can trust the work I’ve done and trust the homework and everything,” said Pratto, ranked by MLB Pipeline as the Royals' No. 2 prospect. “Continuing to do that and dominating my process before the game.” anne rogers/mlb.com

His defense is definitely UNREAL…
