  1. Can't allow him to get six pitch innings. Alcantara out.
  2. Not like he has been hitting that great recently. Needs to contribute somehow.
  3. Wow... that was almost a miracle catch that would have tied the game had it gotten past him.
  4. Would the Guardians trade Bieber this year?...in the exact same situation the White Sox are with Giolito. Arraez striking out less than 5% of the time...mowed down. Soler having a much better second half of his career than Avisail.
  5. Moncada 233/655 There's almost no scenario where they make the playoffs without him being a legit offensive threat... along with Anderson and Benintendi.
  6. Sure but those extended losing streaks are hard to reverse. You're talking about Skubal and Manning? At any rate, Greene and Meadows out dramatically changes the complexion of that offense.
  7. You have to be able to control the running game and challenge other teams on the basepaths in this current version of the game. We're definitely not throwing out the big league average of 20%. The DBacks one prime example of a team that takes advantage of the new rules with Carroll and Gabriel Moreno from the Varsho deal. Sox just have Robert as a true defensive difference maker.
  8. Looks like the Tigers are pretty much in freefall now... whoever of Minny and CLE has the most remaining games with Tigers and Royals with a decided advantage.
  9. Fathom's favorite. Could have gone with him instead of Alberto/Andrus.
  10. Well, they're facing the best pitcher in baseball for most of last season...to be fair. Too much chasing and wild swings... not enough solid contact.
  11. Benintendi nine games since last FB hit. At least this one is going quickly so far! Elly de la Cruz at bats are fun if you get bored.
  12. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/shaikin-athletics-owners-failing-las-001557708.html
  13. https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds Considerable gap with the Guardians still exists....despite only two games separating the teams in the standings. CLE really seems to be picking up some solid fan support at home, over 31k last night is quite unusual. Were arguably rewarded with the game of the season so far.
  14. But when's the last time Hahn got two guys who have performed like Santos and Middleton one offseason? It has been exceedingly rare. That said, if a starter goes down and you have to use Scholtens or Banks too much, your luck won't hold up for long outside the Central.
  15. Astros did the same thing... that at least was a LOT more logical, walking Jose Ramirez (four homers in recent days) to get to Naylor. Backfired though.
  16. 14-6 run at home Twins and Guardians showing extreme resiliency as the three best teams in the division win. Again ties the seven games under .500 high point last seen during the first two weeks of the season.
  17. Sheets in RF and Andrus at 2B at the bottom of lineup demonstrates how those two positions continue to plague the Sox.
  18. Not so sure. He's made so much money in his career, and seems to be so set in his ways now... the main incentive to get in better shape would be for his family, a truly contending team or the Cardinals.
