STOP BUNTING FFS

turns on game, see score.... ya that's a yikes.

Manny is also playing half of his games in a park that suppresses home runs. I haven't looked at a spray chart, but I am willing to guess that he has 10-15 400 foot outs in Petco.

The Sox are probably giving him a chance to salvage some value so he can catch on someplace else next year. Sox are doing the right thing here. . . . . . . God, please let this be what's happening.

They're letting Yolmer accumulate WAR so his price goes up enough that they'll have NO excuse to tender him a contract.

yea they're good and all but what did Machado and Tatis Jr put up in WAR this year, eh?????

With the changes to the trade deadline, etc... did that also change players' eligibility for the post season rosters? Are players getting called up in September eligible?

I really want to watch Luis Robert and Nick Madrigal play on the White Sox this year. But, I also don't want to watch the White Sox FA have to let players walk in 4 or 5 years because they have literally every player on the roster going to arbitration. I can be patient.

If I'm out of line here, feel free to let me know... but short of calling up Andrew Vaughn 2 or 3 years too soon, who the hell else are the Sox going to pencil in for 500 ABs at 1B/DH? Its not like there are examples of clear improvements available for similar "value". ANd before I see another person drop CJ "Captain HBP" Cron, I don't want to hear it. Re-sign the damn guy. But for the love of God, can we please move Yoan to the 3-hole and Abreu to cleanup?

I'll never forget the night of the long knives over at WSI

I never understood the analytics on him. He catches pitchers well, but he's not a good defender based solely on watching ~200 dodgers games while he was in LA. Plays in front of the plate, bunts, etc... he's slow to get to the ball. Also, he is one of the slowest baserunners in the game.

But the question then becomes.. does the Tatis Jr trade put Rick Han in league with Steve Phillips for all time worst GMs in the history of baseball?

He is meeting expectations and I am elated about it.

He wasn't well-liked by Dodger fans in 2012.... this web site still cracks me up though...

Don't give them any ideas.

Can we just have ol 2004 Juan Uribe back to make all this go away?

54 up, 54 down

Nate Jones was far from awful. Injured all the damn time? Yes. Awful? Pretty damn far from it. When he was healthy he was statistically one of the best non-closer relievers in all of baseball.

Stroman throwing a no-no?

Detwiler... 5.2 2ER? Veteran stones right there to help the team.

c'mon Ross

Yea but the Sox try super duper hard

If Detwiler can toss 4 innings, it will be a miracle.

I don't know why, but I laughed out loud at this... both in sadness because its so true and because your comment was funny.

Can I get a summary of the professional assessment of this trade... so I then may fall in line with that group think and not be labeled a meathead elsewhere on SoxTalk?
