Chase Burns vs. Birmingham isn't going to be very pretty for the Barons.

No no and no...you play him at the position where he has the most value. And Meidroth still needs to show more than a 600ish ops.

https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=Team Still have a long climb up. Only team with negative bullpen ratings. Only three teams in the teens...Rockies Sox and Marlins.

Break on Through to the Other Side, White Sox.

Just no way this team improves by 29 full games with less talent on the roster than last year. 45-55 wins, sure. They would need to start beating the AL Central much more frequently as well.

I guess that was calculated assuming the loss after tie score lol

Smith 4.8 fWAR pace Thaiss 3.2 Vargas and Cannon 2.0

Rockies 27-135 pace exactly 7-35 1 win per week, basically

Now on pace for 46-116. Improvement!!!

The dreaded four run lead the undoing of many a bullpen...

664 OPS for Vargas...seems to be a season high for him. Second most useful position player after Thaiss.

GETZ is a demi-God now. Vargas the best trade acquisition in the history of deadline deals.

DARK LORD MEIDROTH grinding...well, it works/counts. 93.8 EV on the ground to the right side.

Here comes team co-MVP Matt Thaiss to pinch hit...

There's the Rojas Seattle fans grew disenchanted with last season. Great role player, great defender...but not an RBI guy at crunch time.

Things are going to get REALLY interesting in the bottom of the 10th with this bullpen...

Elko commits the cardinal sin of NOT advancing the runner. Well, not totally surprising, we don't coach our minor league sluggers to play small ball.

82.5 SWEEPER

Sox and situational/RISP hitting not usually a good mix...

Not sure it was a brilliant idea to wake up de la Cruz from his offensive stupor the last couple of weeks. He's due to go on another tear.

Trust me...from watching Wilson for years in SD, he's NOT THE CLOSER WE ARE LOOKING FOR, lol. He's strictly the back end of the bullpen, but his low ERA must have tricked our manager or analytics team.

That was just a REALLY DUMB idea, Venable. Predictable....but still dumb.

Steven Wilson as closer, lol....this should be quite interesting.

Probably incentivized by JR...when not hawking concession items or taking foul balls away from kids in the stands.

Player of Game is Quero/Cannon...has to be split 50/50 for this one.
