Wow Mize really is out. This is weird.

I can't take Rogers seriously because of it.

Is Mize hurt?

He just got voted to be the starting 2B in the ASG. He's definitely at the height of this value. I think he'll be a 110-120 wRC+ type hitter long term, but I wouldn't pay for the numbers he's putting up this year. They don't seem sustainable.

Hahn delivering good news in an impromptu press conference? Impossible!

Edit: oops guess I'm late on this one

lmao come on Hector...stop making shit up.

With a righty on the mound, I think so. Eaton will probably play RF and Sheets will DH.

We need Lance to look like he did against Seattle last week. Mize has been really stingy recently.

Jake Burger and Jace Fry for Joey Gallo. Texas can't say no to a nice bbq.

If everything goes well, Yermin might not see the Majors again until rosters expand in September.

It was fun while it lasted Yermin

I saw an article on Sox Machine that said we get screwed on calls way more when Collins catches. Grandal is like +0.25 umpire runs and Collins is around -10. Collins is also a much worse framer.

Not having a minor league season really hurt our system, or at least the reputation of it. All our top prospects basically graduated last year or contributed at the ML level in some way. The system was top heavy to begin with and then the guys, like Burger, who may have had a shot to up their value didn't get a chance to play.

A lot of blood.

Oh you need to go into the today's game and go to the player breakdown section. It'll show the spinrate changes compared to the yearly average.

Literally after every batter. It's amazing. Probably the best site to have your second monitor or phone while watching the game.

Liam basically called bullshit on Donaldson saying Giolito had no response in their confrontation.

I guess I'm the spinrate guy around here now.

Just put him on the IL. No need to have him gut through it and not produce. We saw how that worked out against Houston.

Ha they thought they had a chance to climb back into the division race and we fucking spiked it right in their face. Enjoy being 15 games back again.

LFG!!!!

With the shadows in, all Hendricks has to do is get the slider near the zone and they'll swing.

He keeps spiking his slider. He's also missing with his fastball today.

His fastball spin rates are all fine. I do wonder about how bad his slider has been since the ban though.
