Do we lead the league in HR robberies? Without Engel?

He's had a whopping 1 year in the minor leagues. If 27-year-old Jake Burger is being proclaimed as the team's future after the absolute hell he battled through, Oscar Colas can be given the benefit of the doubt.

On another note, AAA+++ title @bmags

How many roster moves have they made in one fucking month?

As a fanbase, we really do embody "if you build it, they will come." Which is why Jerry's stewardship is so mind bogglingly stupid.

I should be way clearer - by "all said and done" I mean by the end of the Harper and Machado contracts. So basically by 2031.

Ignoring Moncada, Robert and Eloy, I feel like all of the "money will be spent" signings (and Leury extension) will definitely equal both Harper and Machado's original deals (so not counting Machado's extension) by the time this is all said and done.

Who's gonna have the last laugh when Harper and Machado are at the end of their deals*? Huh? Did you think about that??? *Please ignore the fact that neither of them are in the Top 10 highest paid players by AAV now, let alone by 2030.

So what you're saying is, there's almost nowhere to go but up?

At this point I want it to either all burn OR Liam Hendriks comes back and somehow him just yelling "f***" all day at people inspires the most miraculous turnaround in sports history.

But like, literally every team has a HR routine.

I missed it, what happened?

The A's deserve less money than the Sox. The Sox fucked up a rebuild and were arrogant about it. The A's strung along their fan base to pretend like they'd stay, only to flee to Vegas and act like they had no choice.

Stoney: Fans should try eating salads.

I hope Dave got sent some video instead of more screenshots.

I think we hit rock bottom.

White Sox infielder trying to stay health challenge (impossible)

Actually, they're the 28th best team in baseball.

This exact convo played out in the replies, but I also get what you're saying.

Colson Montgomery for Rays reliever Zack Burdi.

The fact that "Wintrust Field at Comiskey Park" was right there (allegedly). On one hand: Quite possibly the greatest stadium name in sports, as far as sponsorships go. On the other hand: One of the worst names + THE worst logo for a stadium sports.

I don't even have the east coast excuse since I put CT. My bad guys. (See Kenny? You can take accountability.)

Previous game threads I tried to bring in good luck charms. I think we've all just entered a mental hellscape at this point (shout out Berto). Anyway, Cease vs. McClanahan. Perhaps they right the ship and have the greatest turnaround ever. Likely not, but, perhaps. Anyway, memes instead of good luck charms:
