Which is actually like a 7-8 ERA before this season of putrid offense.

Greinke and Keuchel two of the best fielding pitchers in baseball...

Merkin will just declare .150 the new Mendoza Line so most Sox hitters can clear that lowest of bars.

Sure but KC sucks. Granted Merrifield and Witt Jr. are at least legit big league players.

Wheeler/Tanaka lol. We definitely lead the majors in second and third pose finishes on $100+ million contracts.

He's not going to get it from the Sox now...and that might be for the best all things considered. More value trading him like the Twins did with Berrios last year.

5/18 Sox @ Royals | 7:10PM CT
It's all due to that $25-50000 disagreement lol. Probably nausea caused by considering how unlikely it is that the Sox score more than 3 runs to bail him out.

Royals had 546 dogs for Bark at the Park. Odds on dogs counted leading WS runs scored this season? First AL home run for Bobby Witt. 109 EV. Well over 400 feet 436 to be precise. Each of his four topping the previous in distance.

White Sox either the third lowest in majors or certainly AL against any type of breaking ball. Just .186, and what does Greinke specialize in now? There you see it against Robert although his homer off Barlow was a hanging inside slider.

That makes a lot more sense. Because 66 stolen bases would be two per game. Once upon a time, a 35-55% success rate was more the norm across baseball.

Crazy. I don't remember any of them but I can't watch the majority of games at work lol.

Didn't want Keuchel's 2022 option to best. Shades of 2014/15 Royals on basepaths. I mean, Grandal has a, what, 3-5% rate of success throwing out anyone...even if the runners are held properly.

Good teams play over those mistakes though. Certainly against lousy teams.

5/18 Sox @ Royals | 7:10PM CT
One of those laborious outings where he struggles through 5+. Merrifield really heating up recently. Once again failure to control the running game. Rhythm tempo control are all off. Basically the opposite of Singer last night.

They must all have the patented wincing & groaning Moncada/Robert expressions on their faces.
-
5/18 Sox @ Royals | 7:10PM CT
Just having to listen to his "professional or competitive" at bats nonsense for an inning or two was already enough punishment for the fanbase.

Let's hope this matches your last prediction between us.

Too Long what?

5/18 Sox @ Royals | 7:10PM CT
Against Greinke? More likely to get shut out the way the offense is flailing away.

Market/Financial Thread
Down to 18000 Dow in 2020, 2007-08, 9/11 aftermath, tech/Nasdaq crash in 1998-2000, 1987…those were all much worse (obviously). But a 15% correction seems a bit of a shock with how low unemployment is, and how much profit some companies are raking in. That said, it was long overdue. You have interest rates rapidly climbing, affordable housing shortage, climate change, abortion battles, Ukraine, election year, gas prices, impossibility of spending under $100 at the grocery store, etc. The government might be at its most dysfunctional since the Civil War in many aspects.

Every time one sees Leury or Harrison starting there's a tendency to ask yourself why didn't they just spend $11 million on a better player instead and not create two lineup holes simultaneously... Also, might want to consider winning these two games before heading to the Bronx. A loss tonight would mean 3 1/2 games back. Low water mark is 4.5 games behind Minnesota at the end of that 8 game losing streak.

The Jarred Kelenic Appreciation Thread
It happens more often than not. Not many professional players have made it out of Wisconsin. In the last 20-30 years, Brad Radke arguably the best. https://www.milwaukeemag.com/best-wisconsin-born-baseball-players/ Bob Wickman, Jordan Zimmermann and Rays pitcher JP Freyereisen three more.
