Walk's as good as a hit. Said 75% of Little League coaches, at least.

But can he hit enough taters...? Because chicks dig the long ball, or so Maddux/Glavine claim.

Gilbert Eisert B.Wilson The Holy Grail/Trinity of Openers... Brewers up there hacking away like they all have 9:30 late dinner reservations. What's the weather like?

Or Schiffren...only in the sense of what will he say or do next to make the national sports/broadcasting news? He's like a MUCH less fun version of Bill Walton, who was winking at the audience and having so much fun riffing.

Norfolk Tides about to be 9-18, suck it Mayo/Basallo, lol... Robert 161/600 With Robert physically at 100% (he's running almost every time he gets on base, and fielding almost as well as 2020), one would think an ambitious GM who has a swing guru might want to jump the line and make the first offer and see if Getz bites (before Luis gets hurt again).

13 pitches for Wilson and into the fourth inning...that's crazy.

Compare to 2 weeks ago. Progress/ion. And he's playing close to GG glove level defense, which makes him more viable than previously believed.

Eddie Gaedel, Part Deux Another exciting match-up with former Brewers, former Sox facing their old teams...tmrw is the centerpiece with Knights' disaster Tobias Meyers vs. Rule 5 Shane Smith, newspaper copy practically writing itself. Then you have Jose Quintana as well. miss him in the rotation (more homecoming fluff pieces), but get Patrick (Rule 5 protected over S.Smith) vs. Sean Burke, so more Boston/Massachusetts youth stories about him, Mike Vasil, Cam Booser.

Vargas is looking like he actually might make it...MAYBE. Sosa and Baldwin (and Meidroth) at least looked decent. Then there's Quero...can only contain the excitement by dousing it with a Campfire Milkshake and a City Connect jersey.

But the Orioles are BROKEN now. It's Moneyball 2...it's NOT giving $5.25 million to Kyle Gibson and lighting it on fire, or even more money to a rapidly aging Charlie Morton.

Is this because of his movie where he's the basketball scout for that Spanish star who went to the NBA? Maybe he's conflating the two things. Robert, Benintendi...trade value/cash considerations homers LuBob almost to a 600 OPS, Vaughn still at .491

2011 Adam Dunn Vaughn Robert NY Times Wastill Brent Lillibridge is only 42/43 might be able to beat out Amaya still

Don't forget prematurely balding. Palacios and Amaya back to back when lineup turns over...no bueno.

Don't Stop Believin'. Nah. Not gonna happen. Only Hollywood movies. 1980 Olympic Hockey. Texas Western vs. Kentucky, NC State/Valvano or Villanova/Gtown.

Baldwin, if he could hit 15-18 bombs and steal 30-40 bases, suddenly becomes much more viable....but half those numbers is what I would more realistically expect.

You're forgetting Benintendi. Mr. Biggest Contract in team history and Fenway Legend.

Kyle Gibson has only surrendered four homers already to Yankees in the first, 5-0 still batting. Elias Health Check! O's boards on Defcon 3.

That's the logical step with Vargas 3B Meidroth/Sosa 2B and then Amaya vanquished...finally.

But Gavin Lux would be Sox MVP... So half right. Pretty sure his 870ish ops won't stand up in the long run, but we shall see. Or maybe it's Francona that's magical piece dust with him and Austin Hays. Can you imagine how much crap Harold would have taken had Kelenic ended up with the White Sox and continuing flailing away at windmills?

That's theoretically true...it's just that Sox fans don't get to have nice things. Or almost never. Or we briefly have them but they don't last long. So Colson's on the horizon...but he's actually an oasis, and now he's literally IN the desert. Metaphorically as well. Keith Law was the first to hype Tatis into an MiLB Top Ten and the first to cast Colson out of the Top 100. Somehow fitting.

Damn you WestEddy. Sox Twittersphere is not even as powerful as an Ian Ziering-inspired Sharknado...

https://www.thebaseballcube.com/content/player/725/ The original John "Mac" McDonald is very much still alive.

But what would John Roberts...err, Jesus do/say? (What about Scalia and Thomas?) We're talking historical precdents at SoxTalk these days, Sullivan vs. NY Times, etc. Tray is one of us....

Pa-la-ci-ios. Cheerios. One goes well with milk, the other with AAAA. And to think Amaya and Dalbec are the only expendable ones? Dalbec just might be our future SS!!!

You know JR had to just LOVE the idea lol? The Bulls? The Bears? Together? Oh...the White Sox. Ditka vs. The Hurricane coming up next.
