“Great, more of this "global warming" Chinese hoax bullshit. Sullivan is trying to push the hoax even more. I just watched a Joe Rogan…” Ron883 “Most popular post” Tibetans and Nepalese might disagree this week on exactly why their glacier calved off and triggered a massive flood/mudslide.

See 1960 Presidential voting patterns in Chicagoland…

If we had a poll of who is more deserving of a contract extension, Venable or Getz, does anyone believe Chris would come close to winning?

Going to be hilarious if Astros advance in post season with both their GM and dead man walking Espada fired by that meddlling jerk Crane.

Taking down MIS in a longer series than 5 games...good luck with that one. PCA MVP or not.

"Private Equity/Angel Investors" Fine, will go with "entire Sox bullpen" collectively if they can survive September

Yay??? https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/tarik-skubal-says-his-wife-made-him-take-his-espresso-machine-from-tigers-clubhouse-to-los-angeles-184711340.html Not as good as Skubal's wife taking the luxury expresso makers back from DET and AZ Spring Training Complexes... That doesn't bode well for Boras or whoever his agent is signing any FA deals with the Tigers lol.

Except Griffin is basically as cheap as they come. There's no world where JR wants to add a $20+ million commitment for next year unless A. it provides a tax write off advantage B. JR believes a minimum salary floor is coming and they need to start adding to get to let's say $130-140 million with a very limited number of quality FA's to bid upon

What's the quality front end even, lol? Burke, Kay and Fedde?

Plus the Guardians are getting $2.8 million back to spend on the overage/faked identity LA intl signing... Marco Paddy - Baseball Operations Leader | Latin America Scouting ..."Excited to share that I’ve officially started as a Financial Services Business Development Representative at Salesforce! A huge thank you..." 25 CHW 72-63 $102,161,232 26 WSH 65-73 $98,225,193 27 ATH 53-83 $97,339,345 28 STL 68-69 $91,836,093 29 MIA 68-68 $82,145,481 30 CLE 68-68 $77,648,749

https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/33773/foster-griffin 4 good starts out of 5 3.96 era not a risky contract, either Pretty sure Skubal Mahle and Griffin are the only three deadline guys with under 4 era's at this point... The White Sox couldn't beat that package??? MLB Trade RumorsGuardians Acquire Foster GriffinWashington's surprise ace is on his way to Cleveland. MLB Trade Rumors has the latest on the Guards' big deadline swing.

That wasn't even the end. Padres then had an Extras lead 4-3 after Matsui somehow survived the 9th and managed to blow that as well with a Bogaerts fieldng error at SS.

CLE no longer has the remaining schedule advantage.

"The Sox pretty much have a playoff spot sewn up with other pitchers who have been as bad as Castillo's 4 of 5 starts. So he has about another 5 starts to right the ship." Serviceable WE quote. Surely, the networks will run this in their promotional pieces for when the Sox face Houston or WC #3 in the ALDS. 15.333 ip 16 er four other "serviceable" Castillo starts 9.39 ERA "You're likeable enough, HRC."

Also looks like the Sox need to send just a few more scouts to Curacao. Jurdrick Profar ... not so good.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/shielja02.shtml Total Sox bWAR -0.3 Well Tatis Jr. and Sosa were cheaters anyway so those two trades don't count and Chicago baseball history can just be rewound/rewritten And ofc Hahn's kid Jacob (Rice Univ) is now working as an intern in analytics (baseball ops analyst) for the Cubs of all teams. Looks like it turned into a permanent gig.

Samad Taylor...poor kid Sheets and Rengifo both to IL

Padres challenged (tag play), call on the field was upheld: Jase Bowen caught stealing 3rd base, catcher Liam Hicks to third baseman Junior Caminero. 2 Outs Going from bad to worse...

Padres' LF Taylor had a ball land in his glove hit by DeLuca right down the LF line for what should have been out of bot 9 ... glove hits top of fence and then the ball falls out. Only Miller's second blown save of the season. WC lead on the line...hard to imagine SD coming back now, but stranger things have happened in baseball.

You can start your own thread dedicated to PCA worship... Surely, it will be quite popular on a Sox site.

So 3-4 and 6 are the results that stick out? 3-4 is going to be the most common result for the majority of teams in mlb.

See 2000-2012 offense...never the more ideal and consistent 3-5 runs per game....except 2003 second half/2005/first half 06. 2000's first half feels like such an unusual season now, looking back. Also, a lot of similarities with this year's team to the 1990 breakthrough...although this year's team isn't close to those two (1990/2000) in terms of overall talent.

Pretty remarkable that Vargas and Meidroth are the best (and only) extension candidates at this point. Meidroth, who was predicted to be the war leader preseason, and yet has been one of the players deemed most replaceable in the starting lineup at various points of the season.
