Most one-sided 1-0 game in the history of baseball, lol... Whereas Cubs/Dodgers is just insane amounts of run scoring, jesus mary and joseph

This all seems rather predictable. But...just so hard to bet these games against the Sox when you still have a 1/4 or 1/5 chance of being wrong, lol.

Steve McMichael has passed away from ALS. RIP.

Keaschall off to a Meidroth-like start to his big league career. Constantly on base.

Can Getz be DFA'ed? This offense is just woeful...and Robert's new patient Moncada 2017 hitting style isn't doing him any favors, either.

Maldonado at least has been in the 500's/600's this year and playing about 50% of the time. Note: if PCA's going to hit like this, the Cubs will truly be dangerous...but that pitching is a massive question mark after Imanaga. Also, Justin Turner seems to have finally hit the aging wall.

Ooops...still think they will end up going Nastrini or Iriarte for lack of any other viable options.

His defense has graded out MUCH better this year than 2023-24. Not that it's worth MUCH. Still probably more of a liability than Baldwin due to arm strength, or lack thereof.

Playing with fire every inning isn't exactly a winning formula...

Blake Snell shut down for imaging...Dodgers' pitching depth will come into play once again.

Ofc it would look dumb because he passed even Rodriguez as a prospect since then.

No he later walked it back to maintain his insider relationship with the Twins...simple as that. Or he lied/misconstrued in the first place.

They can't play Colson or Baldwin at SS if they don't trust either guy...

Knew Keaschall would be up for this series lol.

Sugano has settled down since...James Wood on a tear, though.

No reason to pitch to Robert without any real power threats behind him.

Most are paywalled off now. Still look there for breaking headline news, though.

This is one of those seemingly "house bet" games that occasionally backfire...

Palacios leading off...Quero thrust into heart of lineup again.

Venable taking extra time to put together yet another perplexing lineup. Lemons...to lemonade, etc.

And frustration level of advertisers/sponsors promised more "bang for their buck" that will have to be comped additional air time to make up for decreasing numbers (compared to more optimistic Boyer predictions.) Then there's the Schiffren issue as well.

Basallo and Rushing will both be quite interesting to monitor as the two best catchers that are currently blocked... Ethan Salas has been terrible hitting-wise...no amount of defense will make up for that. Has bled a lot of his trade value. Other Quero...Brewers' Jefferson, with right shoulder subluxation, yet another catching risk. Hamstring injury as well.

316 /837 Gavin Lux...Reds' cleanup hitter extraordinaire? 309 /851 Gavin Sheets as well...although falling off recently a bit

Now the Sox can finally acquire him. Semien and Burger also scuffling along.
