Lol. Romy in. Wheres's Michelle?

If there was ever a team that should be banned from postseason...it's the White Sox without Anderson. Guardians and Mariners can recreate 1995/2001 postseason drama.

Cueto Martin Cease against AZ. Miss their best young starter recently...Bumgarner being skipped over. Kelly G2. Need to check on Gallen status Sun.

headed for 20 lob tonight. at least Mariners/Guardians had the fallen of a.post season game earlier. Munoz is going to be one of the 3-5 best closers in the game another year from now.

Or the Sale trade if Kopech never totally gets over his injury slide...

Haber would be over Getz...

That's still a lot closer comp than the Dodgers or other Top 4-5 payroll teams. Besides the fact we could have been a lot more like one if we'd QO'ed Rodon.

So comparing them to Baltimore doesn't work because they haven't made the playoffs yet EITHER?

Padres are four under .500 now. OFC Sotohl hurt now but Guardians badly outplayed them.

Like Takatsu as well... Boiling Sox failures down is easily summarized by a decade of first rounders not named Sale/Anderson, almost all Hahn free agency and intl free agents outside Cuba, especially the DR.

At least be the Brewers or Mariners, and ideally, Cardinals.

It will be one favorite team for everyone to root against...and cheer for the Brewers and Phillies. If they come up short, Preller will be out and Melvin maybe gets one more chance to turn things around in 2023. None of this will be good for Hahn or LaRussa, which most fans obviously won't lose any sleep over. Of course, they also have health and suspension issues to excuse their Underperfomance at $230+ million but not entirely missing the 12 team postseason after massive personnel additions at the deadline.

Fried Quantrill Gore Lauer Brash Patino is short for a rotation Trea Turner Luis Urias Ty France J.Naylor R.Mateo CJ Abrams O.Miller Mejia Hedges Grandal Margot/Mateo Renfroe F.Reyes their bullpen would be awesome though...I covered all this in the Preller thread in great detail

This was the very system he was at least 50% if not 75% responsible for developing and maintaining for the better part of 15+ years. He only negotiated contracts that entire time? Tatis Jr., btw, was under $1 million.

“I honestly didn’t think too much of it until apparently I was walking off the mound and then it mattered to me." #Padres notes: #Guardians' Cal Quantrill shuts out team that traded him away Kevin Acee SD Union Trib As Jorge Alfaro swung over an 0-2 curveball in the dirt, leaving the bases loaded in the seventh inning Wednesday, Cal Quantrill hopped off Petco Park’s mound. He screamed. He flexed. He screamed some more as he stalked off the field with seven shutout innings against the team that discarded him for a more experienced pitcher for the 2020 playoff push. “I honestly didn’t think too much of it until apparently I was walking off the mound,” Quantrill said with a laugh, “and then it mattered to me. I don’t have any real anger toward them. It was awesome. I loved it here. Had a great time. Got drafted by them, they believed in me, they called me up. It’s just, whatever. It’s a business. Got traded. “I love it in Cleveland now.” https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/padres/story/2022-08-24/padres-notes-cal-quantrill-jose-castillo

Sox RF solution, change of scenery deal coming. More Borchard than Matty Thornton in all likelihood.

Starting two rookies together is logical how/why? Time spent catching him in the minors?

The dramatic portion of the season ended fairly quickly...thought it would drag to end like 2008.

Snell has been really good in the second half but not today. Shellacking. Ten games over for CLE first time this season. That game the Sox were almost 1/2 game back before rallying against Detroit in the 8th seems like ages and ages ago.

Kwan Madrigal Larnach Rutschman C.Greiner at SS seems missing one more...Rooker?

Dallas Keuchel concurs.

Younare right. Rogers lost confidence of the team as well. The key difference is not on the hook for $15-17 million arb salary next year. Stearns one of the best GM’s as per usual. Like White Sox, an immense collection of talent on both sides but missing something again. Too many players from other organizations thrown all together. Plus, Soto’s back is starting to bother him enough to miss starts. Wil Myers and Grisham have been disappointing, but Trent has pop, can defend and is LH at least. Bullpen has struggled for majority of the year like Sox, and they really miss Drew Pomeranz imo. Just not sure they can “outbad” the Brewers if Burnes starts to regress…they have their own set of bullpen and offensive issues, too. Keston Hiura looking like rookie year threat again helps greatly. Finally, Profar Kim Cronenworth still much better, albeit utility guys than Leury and Harrison, fwiw.
