yeah let's gloss over the inherited runners that scored off him (23 inherited runners, 10 have scored) fucking brutal, but hey 3 earned runs!!

hopefully this means Marshall is done, for a while

The last one in the majors was in 1989. There doesn't seem to be a real consensus on why exactly all catchers throw right handed, but I have a theory. It's because of a few things: Most people are right handed. This is the largest pool of players (obviously) If you're left handed, and can hit, you'll always find somewhere to play. If you can't hit, next in line would be to become a pitcher because of the inherent value in LHP. Even if you aren't great, these guys still manage to get drafted. Lefty pitchers are a massive premium in baseball. If you're right handed, and can hit, generally you'll find a position to play. If you can't hit, and you can't pitch, you're gonna be blocked by a lot of guys (due to being in a much larger pool of righties) unless you learn how to catch. So basically it boils down to there being more righties than lefties, and catcher being the least desirable position to play What do you think?

So Greyjoy is out of the question? ?

remember when Vaughn was the most patient hitter in the lineup outside of maybe Yaz, I miss those days edit: I'll take it

selfishness, nothing more totally useless as an injured player with a jacked up knee and whatever else a first rate organization would put his ass on the IL for a couple weeks

offensively Moncadas biggest issue is he's painfully patient, and doesn't have much of a defensive approach on two strikes

masssssssssssive over pay, and I've been pro-trade Cease.

Xbox GM off-season start early?

stop paying attention to BN.

Sox are gonna piss away a 6+ game lead on Cleveland lol, some people should lose their job when it happens

this team is in trouble

Sox always fuck over their fans on near sell outs, so damn embarassing

maybe the Sox should allow fewer fans into the games, too much pressure ?

why is Goodwin in CF and Garcia in RF? shouldn't they be switched?

has a player ever been traded while sitting out with a season ending injury?

been thinking a lot about Mercedes lately and something popped into my head what if somebody (coach/teammate/manager/agent) made it apparent to Yermin that he would not be getting regular PT next year. like, in his mind, he was gonna play himself into a position even though it's clear to everyone breathing that Vaughn is a starter going forward as the DH/1B/LF. Maybe that's what caused his slump. I'm sure the league adjusting is part of it but I can't help but think he had a wake up call that he will be coming off the bench next year this situation is more likely to me than the Tony curse or whatever

so this is a strong hint that he's testing the FA waters right? doesn't necessarily mean that, but reading the tea leaves....

or someone who's still having Geoff Blum PTSD

what a fucking bizarre hill to die on lmao

Escobar reminds me of the kind of guy who comes here and falls off a cliff offensively

should've never been the replacement for Eloy. Not saying there was a trade option in spring training, but find out what you have with guys in AAA and let Vaughn learn in the minors. Vaughn looks 100% overmatched and not ready for the bigs, unless your projection for Vaughn is a platoon guy

this team isn't nearly as mentally tough as I thought they were. seems like every time the opponent scores first, the offense goes to the corner and pouts. also, this teams record when they don't hit HRs is EYE OPENING

he was obviously using something. just goes further to show how fucking dominant Rodon is, he's the guy you extend. Not Lynn

is it true that Lynn's spin rate is down dramatically, anybody have the before/after numbers?
