We win if either of them get to first before the 2nd baseman does.

Colson should have kept running.

I think Houser's been a bit lucky, but some of the improvements might be real. He gained about 1.5 MPH on his 4 seamer. His spinrates on his sinker and 4 seamer are both up around 100 RPM. Seeing how he throws those like 60% of the time, I can see how it would make a difference. He switched around his slider and curveball usage and is getting much better results because of it (they killed his breaking pitches last year). His expected stats and BABIP all say he's been lucky, but very few pitchers can put up a 1.6 ERA and not be considered lucky. I think he's this year's version of Erick Fedde, just maybe a bit luckier thus far. Hopefully we get more than a Miguel Vargas-type player for him at the deadline.

Cause the last time they tried a 2 inning save with him, he gave up 3 runs.

DJ makes Schriffen sound good as PBP

We need to carry 3 catchers and DFA Noda. He serves no purpose on this team.

With Smith struggling, is Houser going to be our lone all-star?

It took the Sox 123 games to win 30 last year.

Tauchman has Marquez's number

Is it a requirement for this team to have at least one guy who struggles to hit .100?

Colson has good bat speed

The Journey re-enactment with Crede, Rowand, and AJ was so bad, yet so funny.

Noda ain't getting paid like Rojas nor does he have much past success. Rojas has been terrible but he's at least been decent in the past.

Man the ball is carrying. I thought Sosa got underneath that one.

Marquez is lucky we only scored 2. Teel and Rojas almost took him deep opposite field.

The problem is that he has next to zero leverage. No team has the cap space to give him a $30 mil a year offer. Sure, he can take the QO and bet on himself, but then he'd also be risking a guaranteed $125 million to maybe make $30-40 million more. Kuminga's in a similar situation and I think the deal he gets will affect Giddey's contract. The longer this goes on the less the Bulls end up paying him. I don't think the Bulls should lowball him, but if he's asking for $30 mil this off-season, nobody but the Bulls can give that to him.

Quero finally got his homer. It was so weird to see Meidroth have more pop than him so far.

Calls like that are why ABS is coming

He had Smith struck out. Oh well. I don't think we would have won in extras either way.

Ugh, Wilson?

.400 OPS? That's a big improvement for him.

They could have gotten Jakucionis, Clayton, or Beringer with Memphis' pick.

Lucky for the Rockies, the Sox didn't become completely god awful until July. The 2024 team won 3 games in July, ending it with 27 wins. So if the Rockies can win 9 games in the next month or so they might actually not have the most losses ever in a season.

2 picks away from Maluach...watch AK take Jakucionis now.

Beal's contract is so bad that we better get draft pick compensation back if we trade him for Vuc + PW. He's owed $110 million over the next 2 years. For comparison, Vuc + PW's deals only get you to $93 million over the next 4.
