  1. Can’t imagine that Francona and Kapler aren’t the two early favorites for Manager of the Year. Tito pulled his closer after three walks and two outs and clinging to a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth yesterday...worked out just fine. 75-80% of guys leave their designated closer in, regardless.
  2. He’s been shakier recently...as an 11 game losing streak is usually indicative of.
  3. Not allowed! Just win, baby! Winning invalidates all criticisms, legit and otherwise. It is a bit strange how quickly TLR has become “our guy” again when the team is suddenly firing on all cylinders.
  4. You got me, dude. You got your cheap two “likes,” everything is good in the world...the thirty something millenial has delivered what we used to call “a burn” to someone now eligible for AARP discounts. Good stuff. You cancelled me. I’m not sure how I can go on, to be honest. “It's not clear what started the (Hummer) fire, but when emergency crews arrived the SUV was already, as the kids say, fire. The vehicle was a total loss. Photos show it completely singed and missing the hood and windows. One fender sat forlornly on the ground nearby.” Gotta love today’s Yahoo News contributors.
  5. If you were watching the broadcast...they were reminiscing about him on air. Maybe Pineda’s size reminded them, can’t recall now. At any rate, with as many new posts and positivity threads and game threads as we have flying around, it is occasionally possible to land in the wrong one. But surely Rabbit has never done that.
  6. Everyone playing pop psychologist today. Well, eccentric is the word for rich people. Like Howard Hughes. So I will just go with unique and varied interests.
  7. Barstool is hitting on "cute" golfers...or commenting (see recent Michelle Wei controversy with a certain famous former NYC mayor.)
  8. At least they could have politely allowed Clase to get the save, lol...
  9. Any updates on Cespedes visa issues/AA timeline?
  10. Jose Ramirez just went deep for #11. Trade him, ASAP, Indians!!! No way in hell they can keep their offense afloat without him in the middle of the order. And maybe we can trick them (with a late night fax) into thinking it's Franklin Reyes and not Franmil that should be on their roster...ala the KW "Barry/Berry" fiasco with LAD. First K for Kelenic, Plesac pulled the string on him...big league pitchers are going to go out of their way to TRY to put him in his place. We'll see how quickly the adjustments come. They're definitely not going to attack with mostly fastballs.
  11. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article251395808.html On Reddit, a fan wrote: “Yeah the Tigers series was the opportunity to right the ship. Instead, The ship exploded, caught on fire, got nuked, sank to the bottom of the ocean, and then was attacked by Cthulhu.” Miss 2 of their 3 lefties, Lynch (rookie) and Danny Duffy... FRI, 2 p.m. Keller vs. Giolito FRI, 7 p.m. J.Junis vs. Kopech SAT, 6 p.m. Minor (LHP) vs. Rodon (LHP) SUN, 1 p.m. B.Singer vs. Dylan Cease Read more here: https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article251395808.html#storylink=cpy
  12. Let's just wait and see where both Burger and Yermin are at the end of the season. Abreu and finally Vaughn's adjustment to LF/RF as well. Burger could very easily become the 1B of the future....much bigger target compared to Vaughn, and, if you can be Gold Glove NCAA quality at 3B, should easily be able to translate it to the other corner.
  13. Picked up Logan Gilbert for fantasy, already dinged up tonight. Got Severino and Wander Franco, too slow on the draw with Kelenic. Now two runs. Another welcome to the show, kid! Seems he's over reliant on his FB, which works in the minors as a starter at 95-98 but not in the majors. Breaking stuff has been erratic so far.
  14. If I knew the White Sox losing 110+ games or something from 2017-2019 would have gotten Rick Hahn fired, yeah....I can see rooting for losses, a change in leadership/philosophy and a 1-1 draft pick (that's basically what we have in TLR, for good or for bad.) Otherwise, no way in hell you cheer against your favorite team.
  15. Burger, 2/4 (5/24), 2B, RBI, Charlotte trying to hold onto the 3-2 lead in the 9th. .2o8/894 OPS 4 out of 5 hits for extra bases. Gavin Sheets with the "game winning" RBI in this one. Burger tied it at 2-2. Turley in to get the save. And he does it, 3-2 Final. Knights now 3-6.
  16. If someone can see Hendriks with those shadows...more power to ‘em.
  17. Twinkies are noted for correlation to hearing loss. Riz Ahmed movie coming to a theatre near you.
  18. Fucking Moncada...Jesus, just let Anderson take it. The SS takes those balls, period.
  19. Couldn’t agree on pitch call there to put away Donaldson .
