All my friends that are fans of the Cardinals didn't like the DH. They have greatly changed their minds.

I'm terrified Tony will come back and we'll immediately see inane bullshit like: SS: Andrus / Leury / Romy 2B: Harrison / Leury / Romy 3B: Moncada / Harrison / Romy RF: Sheets / Leury Then when Anderson is back: SS: Anderson / Andrus / Leury 2B: Harrison / Andrus/ Leury 3B: Moncada / Harrison / Leury RF: Leury / Sheets Romy sent down.

We're clearly that confident in the offense now.

1) I'm so glad to see Trayce Thompson thriving after he bounced around for so many years. 2) Holy s%*#, Trayce Thompson is 31-years-old now. 3) What the f*** is the Padres' catcher wearing. I get it vibes with their Miami-esque City Connect jerseys, but he's probably blinding their pitcher.

The runs scored in that span: 7, 4, 7, 4, 13, 1, 3, 0, 9, 14, 5 Average of 6.09 runs per game.

Beckham is definitely projecting "this is some bullshit, but I'll take it" vibes. I'm kinda here for it.

ELVIS' REVENGE TOUR

AYYYY YO ROMY IS MY HOMIE

I mean, if your bar is a Hall of Famer that would be baseballs all time hits leader if he came over earlier and a guy whose only plausible comparison is Babe Ruth, I don't know what you're expecting. And since you're going back to Ichiro, we can include Iguchi in this thread and be done with it. The Sox still should be more active in the Asian market and just hire @Eminor3rd, but you've got your answer.

3 IP, 2 R (0 ER), 5 BB, 1K I do not understand this dude.

Good luck charm

what the f***

To be fair, he's at Mayo Clinic, which is where I'd go to have my heart looked at, especially if it was my personal doctors. That being said, if it was bad enough that I needed to see doctors at Mayo Clinic, I'd stop doing the fucking activity that made it a concern.

Jay Cuda and happy stats ... what is this?

Neon Moncada returns!

Damnit. I knew it was in there somewhere but couldn't figure it out.

I don't care if it's old, I still like this meme.

Shoeless Mieses

Here's the way I see it. Weird managerial decisions aside, Tony just doesn't have energy. He's at an age here this job is taking such a big fucking toll on him that his doctors have temporarily taken him away from it to run (heart?) tests. Objectively, he should just retire for health reasons, because if doctors tell a 77-year-old man that his job is causing so much stress that it's detrimental to his health, f***, just quit. Since 2020, this team has shown that it feeds off each others' energy. With Tony in there, the energy just isn't there when he's napping in the dugout or leaving pitchers in when they're gassed. Tony may have the best intentions and think he can come back, but this team is playing well cause they look like they're having fun, despite what Mark DeRosa thinks.

The elephant not in the room would like a word.

Wild factoids: The first James Bond book and last movie all had him serve under Queen Elizabeth Her reign coincided with roughly 30% of U.S. history Her first and last prime ministers that she worked with, Winston Churchill and Liz Truss, were born 100 years apart. She was older than sliced bread.

This thread is reminding me of Jimmy Rollins, except we have Romy and Sosa knocking on the door, Mendick on the roster, Colson and Rodriguez right behind them, and Leury under contract. I'm grateful for what Andrus has done so far with the team, but there are many better ways to spend this money.

The Royals have basically been playing their youth since their Toronto road trip / the trade deadline, no?

Apparently, this was the secret to Craig Kimbrel pitching well.

After the Yankees sweep the Twins and Royals walk-off the Guardians, the Sox and Twins are both 2 games behind Cleveland for the AL Central lead. UPDATED Current standings as of September 10: Cleveland: 71 - 65 White Sox: 71-68 Twins: 69-68 Feel free to use this thread as an ongoing standings discussion thread / pseudo-game thread for the Guardians and Twins.
