Worse than 0-2 ibb to lad by LaRussa?

TLR 2011 mode?

three outs at home that happens maybe every every two months

Make that 767 now

the great Antonacci at 759 better than average OPS for LF but not so sure about Ron's greatness proclamation

two runners out at home

see if Venable has any magic left

way too big/long a swing for Braden from RH side

Your what hurts?

Have to use Colson now.

Looking more and more like Vargas will make the All Star team. Martin/Taylor the other possibilities.

Connor must have made quite the impression prepping Costas for his appearance. Mentioned him specifically by name, not Schriffen.

Game back on for now.

Here we go with the opener than opens the game up....this game had bad bet written all over it from the get go.

https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/breaking-news/article/brewers-reportedly-sign-of-prospect-luis-lara-to-7-year-31-million-extension-184150340.html Brewers and Mariners (to a lesser extent) cornering the market on early early extensions. Doubt Jesus Made will be so easy, though.

More to the taste of fans 45-50 and over. Which is still a large segment of those sports fans listing baseball as their favorite sport. Thankfully, the Dodgers/Ohtani are making some significant inroads with those under 35-40, especially in Asia/Pacific Rim markets. Latin American/Mexico in particular, has never been stronger. Mostly, it's nostalgia for when Costas and Tony Kubek worked together in the 80s and early 90s. Always more of a StLouis fan, but he does genuinely love the sport of baseball. And himself too.

This is why quite a few of us have been saying for months he's a RFer and not a CFer in the major leagues...along with an elite throwing arm.

After less than one month in AAA? C'mon. They desperately need a jolt in the lineup with Mune out, Colson slumping and Davis Martin taking a step back.

Sure, when both Montgomery's are in the lineup together.

Atl changed their rotation order...it was Sale Holmes Perez ten days ago. Not that it will matter much against Eisert/Fedde/Rock.

Not having C.Montgomery in the lineup, starting Acuna at SS...Gonzalez fourth and God knows what's going on with Davis Martin? This is like never giving Caitlin Clark the last shot...until the players simply devised their own play and ignored the coach. Well not quite that bad....but how handicapped do they have to be?

Eaton the year before he was traded and Avisail Garcia had one really strong season as well.

Does Mason Adams really have more value to other teams than the Sox? If you replaced Sandlin/Fedde with Hagen and Schultz....you still have hardly any depth, and what are the odds both those young guys would make it from some point in June through September? Schultz will hit his season total of 84 innings from last year pretty quickly.

Just don't know if he's one of those players that needs to be on the field to produce AND help lead the team. Gonzalez is a weaker fielder and hasn't been much of a power source...at least yet.

Hagen Smith and Jeral Perez for Rutschman makes absolutely no sense, yet yahoo sports has an entire speculative article about it. Well for Baltimore it's definitely more logical. Buying an increasingly expensive post hype arb guy with just 2 1/2 years of control....when Teel is returning? Adley as a DH after his last 2-3 years? Yuck. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/white-sox-orioles-trade-adley-163610910.html "Hagen Smith is the Orioles white whale. Their rotation is severely lacking, again, and they need top-end talent. Smith can be just that, as he's a top-50 prospect per MLB Pipeline who has a 60-grade fastball and slider. Smith was selected fifth overall in the 2024 MLB Draft and has already made his way to Triple-A. He's expected to make his big-league debut later this season on the south side, assuming he isn't traded. The Orioles can add to their rotation for the short and long-term, while clearing room for Basallo, a former top-10 prospect in baseball himself."
