Another day, another hit for Yolbert Sanchez. Perez goes deep on a 3-hit day.

Dude's been a machine since the end of his W-S stint.

At this point I'm convinced the hubris of hiring "Hall of Fame baseball person" who was retired for a decade is what has led us down the path to this team phoning it in. Firing Tony won't fix everything, but it'll be a start.

I swear to god TLR is the dude who plays rec basketball that refuses to sub out until he's so fucking tired that he airballs everything. All of his teammates are like "hey, we have subs, you know it's better for the team if you sub out before you get tired, right?" And then he just stares at them, yells "I played community college basketball!" and hoists up another shot that clanks off the backboard.

This whole window closed when JR decided to make amends for a stupid mistake Hawk made more than three decades ago.

Vaughn, Burger, Banks, Cease. 'bout it.

I mean...that just sucked.

I fear the ghost runner.

Seriously, how did that not go out? What baseball is MLB giving us?

Juan Pierre may have gotten that.

I remember that one time a poster suggested trading Adam LaRoche to the Cardinals, who would play him at second base. This reminds me of that.

This is what I was alluding to when I said defensive monster, but what are the Bulls possibly adding that makes the Jazz do this deal unless the Jazz want out of Gobert's contract?

Unless they're getting a defensive monster, how're they upgrading from Vuc? Dude was top 5 in rebounding (total rebounds) and did well in the post (sixth best post scorer) - his three point shooting is what cratered. Take out Vuc and this team has two massive, massive holes and is probably taking on a horrendous deal. What they need is to actually get another big man out there with him instead of Javonte Green for most of the season. White can definitely go. What the team needs most of all is 3 point shooting, which Zo returning will help with, but they need it so badly on the wing depth.

Well, currently he has a big arm in CF, and according to people talking to James, has looked legit there (James, if I'm misquoting you, let me know). So, even more puzzling.

Not replacing Rodon is still top tier stupid, but shouldn't come at the cost of Vaughn when it could have just cost money.

"fat, unathletic" "should go to AAA for a few weeks" "trade him for [insert borderline All-Star pitcher]" These were your offseason hot takes about Andrew Vaughn, who fucking rakes.

I'm reminding myself that we have small sample sizes, but then also telling myself that they don't apply to Ramos, Yolbert, or any other Sox prospect doing well.

Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, and Keith Hernandez.

Maybe it's a great testament to Jason in that case, because I enjoy him with Stone. I just know that half the time when I listen to other broadcasts I either am bored to death or want to rip my eardrums out (looking mostly at Rex Hudler in KC). I hate that I can't get Mets broadcasts on MLB.TV living in NYC, because those are amazing.

For real, the fuck y'all want him to say? "Eloy is a moronic gazelle, Tony doesn't know managing, and Leury Garcia can't bat." In what universe is that useful?

I like that major broadcasters keep hiring Benetti to call games and some Sox fans are like "this guy sucks, take him away!" Benetti rocks. Happy for him that he gets more national exposure and glad the Sox have him paired with Stoney, who is a good balance with him.

Depressingly, it's still a low hurdle. - Charles Comiskey paid the players so poorly they got in with the mob. - The other Comiskeys oversaw medocrity. - The Allyns were ... eh? Didn't Arthur want to sell to Selig, who would move the the team to Milwaukee? Veeck is basically the GOAT Sox owner, with a large gap between him and pick whoever you want for second place - which is either Jerry for winning in 2005 or Charles Comiskey for bringing the team here from St. Paul.

We jinxed him.
