Yeah but still not an earned run...down to a 0.93 ERA.

First Joe Kelly outing coming up...

Gavin finally atoned after sporting a .125 average the last stretch of games.

Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle were just put on the market by the Reds...fwiw.

8 game hitting streak for Robert now.

Plesac has given up 10 ER in last 8 2/3rds over two starts. Indians somehow 13th in pitching and 3rd in offense. Talk about a reversal of their normal modus operandi.

Is that what also happened to Vaughn last year? Maybe STOP doing that so players will comfortable and can concentrate on their hitting instead of being constantly stressed out about making a mistake on defense.

No idea which one has any value at this point...Jimenez to a larger payroll team taking a calculated risk they can actually keep him healthy or simply limit him to DH.

Please play Engel everyday or bring back Billy Hamilton. It's that bad.

7/23 White Sox errors against Cleveland this year. Getting behind hitters, finally gets the K.

Putting added stress on Kopech... And likely leading to an early bullpen game or might even be pulled early if he gets to well over 30 pitches this inning.

When's the last time the worst defensive team in the AL went anywhere in the postseason? Kopech needs to pick up the pace. Also seems to be on an 85 pitch limit...at least so far.

Quintana shutting down the vaunted Dodgers through 5 2/3, sporting a nifty 2.73 ERA.

How many total did he have last year again? I guess another aspect of this is that managers don't like to pull some guys who are contributing beyond the box score when the team is on a winning streak like this. At least the guy hustles and he clearly has the respect of the pitching staff. And he's SO much better blocking pitches in the dirt and bunting, lol.

You're forgetting Burger Jimenez and the former Z man now hitting cleanup for Blue Jays. We can throw Yermin back in there for good measure. And actually, while we're on the DH subject, Pollock is looking increasingly like a typical Sox DH that can neither hit nor field but still gets penciled into a starting spot somewhere.

I was secretly asked by the mods to put up a post to encourage more likes/laughs for other posters because there weren't enough generated during the long losing streak. More likes equals more traffic, more traffic means they can sell the site for even more than Truth Social.

Well if you gave TLR that same team they would be nowhere close to .500. Francona is one of the best managers in the game on a yearly basis. Obviously he wasn't around last year when things got away from them in the second half.

Because the 2021 Guardians or Indians or whatever we now retroactively call them had nearly every single starting pitcher injured. It makes little to no sense as a comp. We have Lynn basically out for two months. The two situations are nothing alike. Look at the full list of all the starters used by CLE last year. And nobody came into 2021 expecting the Indians to make the postseason, let alone advance to the ALCS or World Series.

Are you being serious? Hard to tell here.

Abysmal if you were overinvested in tech, SPACs or NFTs. Shocking. Jury still out on cryptography in terms of weathering the coming storm.

Almost a 25% decline. That's needless to say massive.

For Tigers' fans after the last 3-4 years of barren nothingness, hope and change sells well. Hard to blame them for wanting to get excited about something, albeit temporarily.

Ummm...Humber at least threw a no hitter and was part of the rotation for awhile. Not exactly Nick Williams or AJ Reed in terms of Sox impact.

The odds of Burger being even an average MLB 2B are about 15%. We shall see. But certainly not counting on it. Last time I checked, we didn't have a specialist who transformed our former players like Semien Narvaez and heck even Luis Gonzalez.

We keep saying Moncada and Vaughn back will give you only one hole in the lineup but it's still seemingly 3-4 weak spots per game. Sheets Pollock Leury McGuire Harrison Burger Engel Mendick.
