The White Sox bullpen having to go 5 seems like a disaster but not much choice at this juncture of the game…

How many Moncada threads are we going to get…?

It’s basically the same as an appeal for the runner leaving third too early on a tag up…

So how can you call the runner out if the play was ruled over and he had no opportunity to retag home?

Who called for that review? Now contesting that time out was called out after the play…before Moncada could retag it.

Massive shift in this game…unless Moncada somehow grazed the top of the plate. Could have been 2-3 runs scoring if ball didn’t hit the umpire.

Going to be out.

Sigh. Zack Collins is quickly turning into one of the goats with extended playing time exposing all his various flaws.

The Tigers are quickly shifting to the bigger threat…especially when/if Ramirez and Bieber are dealt (offseason?) Then again, the team rebrand might mean the Indians go for it one last time in 2021.

Also kind of looks like a cross between a roller derby helmet and one of the first designs discarded by the Mercury or Vikings.

Exhibit 1B of Sox players who were roundly criticized for defensive shortcomings only to become All-Stars/MVP candidates along with Marcus Semien.

Narvaez, meanwhile, looks pretty decent these days…

T-ball (non-existent) catchers couldn’t frame any worse…we’d fare better with no catcher in front of the umpire until a runner reached base.

Afraid to throw the ball over the plate…ah, the old it doesn’t matter if we lose because CLE will still be 9 games back canard.

Comical…where’s Hahn?

Be careful suggesting that, CWS/Nashville will come after you hard…

Great, proving Burr can’t handle the 8th yet again…

Bummer always has that happen to him…it’s uncanny. Can’t afford to give up any more. Might not score all series.

Yes, I know. But, in the last four years, he’s had a broken wrist, missed two+ months for back problems, the severe shoulder separations dating back to 2016/17 (that will eventually be operated on) and tested positive for Covid. The way he runs the bases and plays SS…eventually he might end up being moved to CF/RF or 2B. That said, Acuna has suffered a similar fate injury-wise, just like Bellinger for much of his early career.

He’s actually saying that his being criticized for doing a poor job from the studio for away games is hot garbage…

Tatis shouldn’t be #1 with his elevated injury risk.

Rocket City Trash Pandas (Huntsville)…speaking of “Guardians” of the Galaxy, of course Rocket is also the nickname there

With the move, the team announced in February 2019 that it would seek ideas for a new name to be introduced at the same time.[11]The new owners cited their inability to widely market the Intimidator name due its association with Earnhardt, and trademark rights held by his estate. On October 23, 2019, the team unveiled its new identity as the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers. Team leadership looked for a name that reflected both the city's heritage and its association with auto racing. "Cannons" was among the most popular suggestions, which was refined into "Cannon Ballers" for a broader appeal. The mascot — a baseball-headed stuntman — has a mustache reminiscent of Earnhardt's.[12][13] A public vote was held to determine the mascot's name, with "Boomer Baller" announced as the winner on January 15, 2020.[14] There’s another Kannapolis connection wikipedia hasn’t picked up on….they were the towel sponsor for a lot of the SALLY League teams in the 1990’s. The Cannon Mills Company was an American textile manufacturing company based in Kannapolis, North Carolina, that mainly produced towels and bed sheets. Founded in 1887 by James William Cannon, by 1914 the company was the largest towel and sheets manufacturer in the world.[1] Cannon remained family-owned until 1982 when it was sold to Fieldcrest, becoming "Fieldcrest-Cannon". The recently formed company was sold to Pillowtex Corporation in 1997, which went into bankruptcy in July 2003. The remaining Cannon brands were then purchased by the Iconix Brand Group.[2] Wikipedia.com

If Moncada, Jimenez or even Kopech were with the Yankees, they'd all be Top 25-30. About as ridiculous as comparing Robert and Trent Grisham.
