Rookies make mistakes like that. He'll learn.

I like red

Both

They're a very flawed team that has yet to have every component working well together. St Louis and Milwaukee are pushing a lot harder on them now than it looked like they would in early June, but I still think the Cubs are the class of that division. If they go big on pitching acquisitions I might change that opinion, but as it is they don't match up well with the Dodgers or Philly.

I'd complain about how the '05 Sox are becoming the '85 Bears, but I'll watch AJ hit homers off the Cubs in '05/'06 anytime

The Reinsdorfs stopped watching the NBA after the '04/'05 Pistons

Hopefully he's here to stay for a while now.

Got claimed by the Marlins?

Maybe. I'd trade defense for offense on this roster for sure. I also don't know how Baldwin is going to learn what he needs to do in MLB by bashing AAA pitching.

I'm on the same page. Let Colson sustain some success in AAA until after the ASB or trade deadline at least. Bring him up once you're confident he's injury-free and producing in a way that he can sustain in MLB. I don't know why Baldwin isn't up yet, especially over Capra. All I can think of is they think Baldwin is in the Elko camp of AAAA players, but even that's better than Capra.

MLB numbers obviously, but he's still a prospect so thought it fit here

I have to imagine some scouts or other internal employees were telling Hahn he shouldn't trade Tatis. The talent was immediately obvious.

Nah, that dude is a special talent. He shot up the Padres system and hit the majors at age 20, after only 3 years in the minors. I don't even think the Sox could've gotten in his way.

Meidroth definitely safe

700 runners left on base so far

Cannon didn't listen yesterday - you need to give up ZERO runs.

They are hitting Verlander pretty hard

Imagine getting outplayed by this guy

See pitching? All you have to do to win is be almost perfect every game. Easy.

Taylor has missed in the zone with that cutter but they still can’t do anything with it

Well, at least Taylor also didn’t get hurt I guess. Though he’d deserve it.

Yes

Oh my god Taylor missed the plate
