Yoan just let the float right by him, c'mon man.

I get that Cespedes is a high profile case, but visa issues can take much, much longer than that. Visa reviews can take months. The US immigration system is a complete and utter mess.

Outside of the Chicago Y, it's just so painfully boring. It's as if someone saw the Mariners and was like "that looks good, connect it to Chicago somehow."

We can't be the Rays because we...locked up our young talent? Woe is us.

We've gotten plenty of press for our Hall of Fame manager.

Cease is good.

It's almost laughably bad.

65th all time in win percentage. Tied for 6th in World Series - but we should probably dock him the A's World Series due to the rampant cheating. 3rd all time in playoff appearances. And if McDowell is correct, then Tony's entire first White Sox tenure is as tainted as the Astro's recent run. I'd might have given TLR the benefit of the doubt if he actually denied the camera system instead of a weak deflection. So sure, TLR's got the second most numerical wins, built on the backs of steroids and and cameras.

When do I get the TLR-Yermin buddy cop film.

At this point it looks like McCann should thank Grandal for helping him secure a fat payday by letting him get the most favorable matchups possible.

Lmao, alright Eduardo. Your trolling transcended just that one nickname.

And our bullpen still trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

Pulled Keuchel after 80 pitches because ... who knows.

I'll just get it out of the way: Yermin bailed out La Russa lmao.

Jose was playing the long game when he tagged up. He wanted Yermin to hit a walk off to get out of his slump.

You're reductio ad absurdum in human form.

I have no idea what to do with my emotions the past minute.

Nick Madrigal is our new lord and savior.

While our dudes are definitely using stuff, you an also account for: - Adding Lynn - Cease has a new pitching coach - Rodon deciding to care about baseball and remember he had his stuff from college.

I'd take a placeholder RF until (fingers crossed) Cespedes or Colas are ready.

For real, I would also like Dylan Cease to become a Cy Young contender, but like damn, give him time.

He held Boston to two runs and struck out 6. The only other good teams he's faced were the Yankees and Cleveland and yeah, those weren't pretty. But because he slaughtered middling-to-bad teams, you're holding that against him? If he were on the Padres, you'd be making an entire thread about him.

Dylan Cease is currently the 27th best starter in baseball if you go by fWAR. Traditional stats he has 11.20 K/9 and a 3.79 ERA. If Dylan Cease were the 5th starter on the 2006 White Sox, they'd have won the World Series.

There's only been 5 games all year where Rutherford hasn't gotten a hit. In two of those games he still reached via walks. Definitely intrigued by what's going on there.

Honestly just thought Grandal walked off before the ump could decide if the pitch was a ball or strike.
