Austin/San Antonio as well...three teams in Texas? Right now they're not supporting the two teams in Florida...that Tampa/Orlando situation needs to be resolved too.

in regional realignment with 32 teams Great Lakes: Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, Twins (yikes, Cubs' fans would hate losing St. Louis rivalry) Midwest: Royals, Cardinals, Reds, Nashville (still no stadium plan, or even enough investment capital) (doesn't really feel Midwest with Cincy/Nashville either...) East (suicide division): Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Phillies North: Blue Jays (Toronto with big financial advantage), Tigers, Guardians, Pirates Mid-Atlantic: Orioles, Nationals, Braves, North Carolina team/Charlotte South: Rangers, Astros, Rays, Marlins (too spread out) 2 big/2 small market Southwest: Dodgers, Angels, Padres, Diamond backs West: Rockies, LV A’s, Giants, Mariners https://sports.yahoo.com/article/mlb-regional-realignment-could-end-173828494.html

Don't forget that Murphy has been just as good if not better than Counsell as manager at a much lower salary to boot...

"Many noted they’re still disappointed about Orsillo being gone, and several readers stated a preference for backup announcer (Mike) Monaco, with one calling him “a million times better than O’Brien could ever be.” Ofc Monaco was one of the names heard most frequently before they gave the job to Schiffren instead...probably because they already knew John could play the cheerleader/promoter/apologist role the best. Tigers up to 8th with usual +/- on Benetti, Cubs in the top group and Padres #1, which is very well deserved imo, letting Don Orsillo leave BOS a huge mustake. for the Red Sox. Chris Singleton with the Brewers fwiw...was pretty controversial when he first started out but has improved over time.

But defensively?

With KC as an intern basically...

Cease shouldn't pitch against the Dodgers again this season. Except with King out, might not have a choice. He has a psychological issue now facing LA...almost...like Contreras against Boston after he signed with the Yankees.

He's trying to find more creative ways to say the same thing over and over. We are all in the same sinking boat.

17/35 in saves just sucks Sox are last in saves as a team...and currently seven whole saves behind 29th place. Even the Rookies are 24/44 in sv/svo...on pace for 46-116 if they hold lead today.

He has been their best hitter recently. Read the scouting reports.

Wilson has decent overall stats, but just can't trust him in actual high leverage situations...

Brewers unreal...Contreras two run go ahead bomb off Pagan. Megill to close it out. Left Myers in with Megill used so much...

254.759 Paul DeJong, would be #3 ops in today's line-up

Bartolo Colon, too. Or the infamous tarp sliding during rain delays that eventually was stopped...

Orioles had the #1 farm system, and the Tigers were darned close. Tigers also have been spending more and more each year. JR simply isn't going go to go back to the $145-150 million payroll range again with negligible tv money coming in...$20-25 million compared to $70 million previously. 2020-2022 taught him a hard lesson.

Marketing is also important. How many Asian fans do you typically see at Sox games, versus the Cubs' typical draw at Wrigley?

Brewers up 6-3 in extras.

Spelling his hometown wrong.

Btw Savannah…Hawk Harrelson would be an unhappy camper. His old stomping grounds.

Well, at least he has a Duke education to fall back on…ofc, minor league front offices have nothing to do with player/personnel decisions.

Cease they needed to hold for this playoff run…especially with the King injury. They can just go QO with him…and will have to make QO decisions on King, Arraez and Suarez, too. I’m sure they don’t want Suarez back at his age for that much money, though.

Or “denouement stage”

Did Matt Skole play?

Tucker looking for $500-650 million...so we'll inevitably end up with the latest version of M.Cabrera Benintendi Santander.
