https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHW/2012-schedule-scores.shtml 1-8 stretch in late September killed them...including walk off against Addison Reed didn't actually lose first until September 26th when they fell to 82-73

Things always seem to work out for the Rays...somehow. Getting Grady Emerson at 1-2 was a nice consolation prize.

Another guy throwing 98-100 again after major surgery.

Stephen A. Smith and Pat McAfee are so so boring in their attempts to be interesting/controversial. Makes me ALMOST appreciate Portnoy.

The current situation makes the late season 2000 White Sox rotation look like the 90s Braves in comparison.

121 losses to where they are right now is just historically unprecedented. Certainly for a team with a bottom five payroll. The Rays are the quintessential victims of their own success now, much like the Brewers.

Can add McDougal and Sandlin to that long question marks list...Thorpe, too. And hope to God they can figure something out with Luis Castillo for next season...this one feels irrevocably lost/irreversible already.

Fletcher vs. McCarthy lol? Still think Carlos Rodriguez is much more experienced/valuable overall. How do you even emulate the DBacks?

They're not going to replace the likely AL MoY barring a total/complete collapse. Even then the odds of it actually happening are extremely low after leading the Central for months and months. It's also fair to assert that the Tigers Twins and Guardians all have better overall farm systems as of today. On the position player side: Who is the real Teel? And Mune as well. How much better can Braden get? Will Kolson actually finish below .200 with historic K totals, and how does/can he rebound?

On a limb The moment benches cleared in Pirates-White Sox game after elbow thrown: ‘What the f–k is the matter with you?’LoweKeep your elbows to yourself.

Pulled on the ground between first and second

“I thought the White Sox were going to take him at No. 5,” said Griffin’s agent, Joey Devine of Excel Sports Management. “I know [amateur scouting director] Mike Shirley and that front office really liked him and they scouted him really heavy.” Pittsburgh post gazette but why would Jerry overrule this? he hates pitchers...more than prep bats?

But the bad example for youngsters regarding tobacco usage!

They could have also simply drafted Caglianone for RF and substituted a starting pitcher in for Braden in that Crochet trade and ended up much better off...arguably

“We had teams all the way to about No. 20 that told us if Konner made it to them, they were going to take him and we already knew what dollar amount that they were willing to go above their slot,” Kevin says. “So, we weren’t stressed about it a whole lot. We did have to convince Konnor that turning down the fourth, fifth or sixth pick in the draft was not a bad thing. It just came down to fit and where we felt he could thrive. We kind of slow played it and held out a little bit until Pittsburgh came along.” The Griffins waited through eight picks. Kevin says two of the eight teams called with offers “to go like $2 million under slot.” Kevin told them, “Don’t pick him. He’ll go to LSU if you do.” Four of the first eight teams signed players for less than slot money: the Guardians at No. 1 (Travis Bazzana), the Reds at No. 2 (Chase Burns), the Athletics at No. 4 (Nick Kurtz) and the Angels at No. 8 (Christian Moore). www.si.com

is he eligible to run for PA Senator? not 35

Venable had MoY basically clinched two weeks ago, but all that's coming into doubt down the stretch

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?sortcol=9&sortdir=default&pagenum=1 Murakami #1 mlb K rate at 34.9% Kolson at #2 at 34.4% and will pass Mune after tonight

A ton of two out runs surrendered. And lack of scoring with RISP and less than two outs for the most part.

That's without a dominant Skenes and lockdown closer

"Don't be sad that they're blowing it now. Be happy that they were ever in contention." Is that a direct quote from Fegan, or WestEddy? "grateful/appreciative" would be better word choices than happy
