Goodwin seems to fit in really well with this team, too.

Fake News! Hoax! Evidence manufactured by MSM! There were two Dr. Richard Kimballs.

Take that, Hot Takez Even Stone recently has been very complimentary about his hustle down the line on a foul popup and his ability to throw across his body on the move like the last out of the game against Donaldson.

Two crazy comebacks for both Chicago teams tonight…

Hamilton picking up Anderson was huge, too. Someone the Royals gave up on to bring back Dyson.

Hamilton picking up Anderson was huge, too.

Bumped. Those 75 rbi’s aren’t clutch, are they? One of the other threads was that Abreu according to FG was expected to have the biggest drop off in OPS in all of MLB… .823 seems…not too bad.

Some really interesting roster decisions coming up with Lamb, Mendick, Sheets, Burger…Hamilton has definitely earned his place on the roster based on enthusiasm alone.

Now have to worry LaRussa will put in Ruiz or Lopez with non-save situation, lol…

What are the odds of Hendriks in the 9th if it’s still a tie? Scared to see what TLR chooses to do this time.

Gutsy send…with Engel not reading it well.

Don’t know why anyone would throw Collins anything but a fastball here…

Houston is tough, Boston is adding Sale and TB is on the verge of adding some more pop…they’re really making huge bets on all their players coming back healthy or the market coming back to the buyers over the last 2-3 days before the deadline.

Yep, despite how blah we’re playing other than the last two pitching performances against Houston, an 8 1/2 game lead is the high water mark for the year. CLE really struggles on the road, and their starting pitching issues are beginning to become more pronounced.

Bummer should be ahead of Crochet in the pecking order. Burr belongs in the 8th about as much as Evan Marshall.

One of those games not having a professional hitter in Grandal in the lineup hurts. Well, that and our bullpen management. Or lack thereof. At least Moncada and Abreu are coming back to life, because we’re going to need some punch against the Brewers.

Why dud we give Bummer $25 million if not for those situations?

Benetti really wants to play up the Hoosier basketball angle, and he seems quite happy (Colson) to be compared to Corey Seager…even bringing up that their handsome looks have been likened, lol. Also talked about the challenges of playing SS at 6’4” and about putting on weight.

Never thought that inning would lead to just one run. Great job by Keuchel rebounding. Looks like TLR really wants this game, and perhaps for Kopech to go multiple innings for the first time in awhile.

Gallo, fwiw, has really exploded up this list when you consider how cold he started out offensively.

Dangerous to extrapolate from just one month of play. The homers will come, eventually. The defense in CF might be even more important, but you would get completely different players if you separated his brief career into three clearly defined statistical stretches.

Pretty incredible. Something like 3 for his last 51. Ventura started out similarly, but he’s still barely clearing the .100 mark after his recent recall. Not sure what’s the craziest, the M’s being where they are without Paxton, Kelenic and Kyle Lewis, not to mention Trammell, doing much of anything.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/flushing-10-times-what-s-really-behind-trump-s-tirades-n1111691 Our former president spent more time going on rants about water pressure in showers, restrictions on the volume of water per flush of a toilet, difficulties with dishwaters not cleaning well enough (not that he ever did them in his lifetime)…than simply telling Americans to get vaccinated, or that 99.9% of the deaths or intubations for much of this year are coming from the unvaccinated. Just selfishness and lack of empathy. It’s all about that me-first culture. Not caring about how others around us are affected. And it has been a part of the American zeitgeist since at least the 1980’s. But there was still a certain amount of civility and respect for others, including presidents of opposing parties…now it’s just an all out war today, with no quarter given. Greg, do you really think Jesus if he was around today would be an anti-vaxxer?

That said, it's highly unlikely thay they deal CJ Abrams when he's out for the season.

So drop Cease or Keuchel?
