Flaherty much more like Fedde than what Crochet was a month ago…or Rogers.

Guardians really falling back to earth…reminiscent of 2006 playoff race.

Hard to celebrate much but at least battling/pride/signs of life. Some guys at least over 600 ops finally. Robert and Crochet meanwhile spiralling.

More control…time to make a full comeback. Twins have really been great since 2019 at generating offense on limited budgets.

That would be Getz admitting to being wrong…pride is at stake here on the scouting/eval side.

White Sox are 0 for the season on comebacks when trailing after the 5th 6th 7th… SD must have at least half their victories in come from behind fashion the past 2-3 weeks. It’s almost uncanny. Did it yet again tonight. Ten runs allowed the last two nights by depleted Miami pen in extras.

Just doing the opposite of Hahn 75-80% of time in FA would be AL Executive of the Year material…

Who is worse? Colorado? Definitely not Oakland or Miami based on this season.

The ONE thing Kansas City has contributed to the Sox the past two decades… Except the ball would hit him in the face and knock him out for the remainder of the season due to blurred vision.

And whatever they did with or to a certain now injured Braves’ starter. Bummer…throw him in there. Anderson, Liam. Lucked out with Kelly Graveman Lynn.

Burger .243/.740 Maybe could use him about now just for entertainment…rather than say Vargas. Every Cuban since Robert cursed…and he might be cursed now, too.

2012 White Sox defense and pitching under Ventura…12 rookies, including Q?

Plus Skubal was pulled off the market. Watch Cags come up to KC next year and win RoY playing alongside Witt and Braden Smith get injured in true Sox everything that can go wrong will go wrong fashion.

Not sure if I should be actively cheering against Holliday when this is the second time I put him on fantasy starting roster, lol…need that Giants’ SS instead.

Getz doesn’t have the one Hahn gift on contract negotiations or talking to reassure families either…untenable situation now with Crochet, largely self-induced.

Batting practice…should have worked harder to get Crochet out of the organization at the deadline. Lingering questions now about durability won’t disappear over the offseason.

Barfield made the specific recommendation on Fletcher… At least Garrett demonstrating some fight there.

https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds 6.7%??? Cubs’ radio team just called PCA home to third base fastest in MLB history, lol…a bit of hyperbole there.

Last year there was a huge buzz around the team this time of the year…2024, on the periphery of competing but not really in it, Bellinger and Morel and Hoerner off, looking to subtract instead of add at the deadline, PCA showing a number of his major warts. Basically it’s Imanaga to get excited about.

As long as they miss the post-season again…

Cannon, Flexen, Davis Martin, Bush…who do they go to next? Nastrini? Toussaint? Iriarte? Adams?

Lovely situation when your two most important players are stuck with the organization and vice versa. Stockholm Syndrome?? 77 pitches has been limit over the last four times out, 3 2/3’s. Trying to let him get the feel of going a full season for another 6-7 weeks might be at the point of backfiring or being counterproductive psychologically.

Can’t let him go to 35-40 pitches in one extended inning… Get him out of there. This isn’t doing Crochet any good. Second game of season with multiple homers. Philly 3.

Ooops, 96-97 but that was a cutter at 89-90. Poor Grady.

Must have made the determination that totally shutting down for months and months before 2025 would be MORE likely to result in injury…in consultation with multiple doctors, Crochet, agent, family. PTAC would present the case, surely.
