Edgar!

I do think people forget the vibes Renteria's teams had. Made it so annoying that "Ricky's boys don't quit" got co-opted by the TLR era. I can't find it, but I'll always remember this one delightfully stupid clip of the entire dugout getting a beat started for Ryan Cordell to just drop it like it's hot. Then there was Moncada Day outfits or Madrigal's Mr. 3000 shirts. They liked each other. Mune is 100% a more extroverted leader than Pito (though both lead by example / production), but there's no other All-Star level vets (like Grandal, Keuchel, Lynn) to disrupt the club house.

I really want to add Gonzo and Braden's homers to the Colson, Mune, Vargas trio. Then throw Kyle Teel in there. Things can get so much more fun.

Ready for a big Mune shot.

There is one part of Carlos' game that Cam absolutely NEEDS to add if he joins the Bulls. I need him to yell "GET DAT" and "SHOOT IT BUZI"

Oh no, we'd have to be satisfied with these types of highlights. Whatever would we do?

@SoCalChiSox willed this into existence.

Ball go far.

I said Trout would be crazy, damn. But it's fun to dream on, especially since our CF situation is not fun.

I think the fact that Roch is constantly #1 on every list whereas #2 keeps rotating is the best argument for him.

Caleb Wilson really wants to be a Bull

If Getz wants to go full crazy: Mike Trout

Kohei Leehtani

I thought I would prefer full ABS, but the challenges are so much fun that I want to keep this system. 1) It actually makes me appreciate how good some umps are. 2) The players having to make the split second challenge decisions is a fun mental game. Fans that bemoan the DH replacing the "strategic" element should absolutely love the addition of challenges / ABS. 3) Steve Stone laughing about the Mariners not having an ABS challenge late in the game the other night because they just wasted one was hilarious.

For the love of god just jettison Beni already.

It would be insanity if they DFA'd him instead of using his options.

Korey Lee has a career 3.00 ERA

Indeed. Edgar Quero is the prime example. Dude is going through hell right now and not hitting remotely like he's shown he can in the past, but they need him up so he's on the roster. But Romo is out performing him, so now Quero is sitting on the bench and we know is getting sent down once Teel comes up. Over the last two years, Quero is getting the reps. This year he's sitting until they can send him down. I think things would be different if Acuna had options.

...yes?

Home runs are fun.

Can't believe I forgot these two, especially Bonemer. The massive, massive difference being that Vargas didn't have to compete with dudes for playing time and the Sox were horrendous enough they could let him play through it. If they want to make the playoffs, that ain't happening with Acuna.
