I expect Keuchel to bounce back pretty well next year, and the Sox will lose their ass if they try and dump him for a bag of balls. I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks Keuchel is 'done', do they? If they do try trading him, they're gonna have to pick up a chunk of that salary regardless unless it's swapping contracts I roll the dice with him locked in at 5

get that draft pick

nobody should be surprised by this

Houston is going to curbstomp whoever they're facing in the WS, Doubt it goes 6 games tbh

straight up garbage coaching staff, these guys don't listen to them at all lmao

I would have a lot more respect for Hahn if he told JR "GFY" and went elsewhere

also, his swing reminds me of TCQ a bit

sign me up also, has Japan always had outdoor stadiums? I always remember japanese baseball being played indoors for some reason, but after looking up some videos of this guy I found a ton of games played outside

Semien just because Scherzer has pitched a lot of innings this year and he's getting older

Funny how the 5 game series (which ended in 4 games) went nearly identical to the regular season series vs the same opponent organizationally, the Sox aren't even in the same league as teams like Houston/TB, and even Boston/NYY, and they never will be because nepotism reigns in Chicago. the one team that cleaned house from top to bottom won the most recent championship, that wasn't a fluke

you're conflating what I want with what will happen

Abreu (and TA) will retire here, these threads are dumb Guys I would look at possibly moving would be Grandal (I didn't know he was this bad defensively) and possibly Eloy or Vaughn, use them to upgrade at spots like RF and SP I'm not saying trade all 3 guys, but I would definitely look at moving one of them if the return was decent

especially after other guys in the clubhouse didn't go the "it's not my call" route, his hands were tied after Abreu vouched for LaRussa

there aren't going to be any updates on contract offers until after the new CBA right?

lmfao what a choke job

not a big NFL fan but just watching these last few bears games with Fields, he definitely looks talented but he also definitely makes some rookie mistakes also that bears O-Line, oof

I'm not going to defend any of those videos, because they just look terrible. But people need to realize the strike zone is a 3-Dimensional space, it isn't an invisible wall that the ball has to pass through. Even when the bugs are 100% completely ironed out, we will start to realize that some of the pitches we have thought for years were one thing, were actually the opposite.

must be nice to have a starting pitcher who isn't a fucking choker

"LOOK AT ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" edit: who bumped this, you assholes still hilarious though

there was little chance that they would have 3 managers in 3 years, I was hoping tho

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Sox part ways with at least one fan favorite player in some kind of creative trade, they aren't going to be bumping up payroll on guys like Scherzer (wouldn't that be fucking awesome?) or even Semien

was it ever reported what was wrong with Toews?

I think Rodon will be okay, he just faded down the stretch due to hitting an innings limit, people expecting him to throw 160 innings with zero issues after last year are dumb, like really

no dude we just don't have enough good players, ignore the fact that all our veteran hitters almost set the record for singles in a series and our best pitchers looked drunk
