[June 13th Game Thread - Chicago @ Los Angeles]

JD Martinez and Heyward both having awesome seasons for the Dodgers is so on brand.

It'd be nice if Andrew Vaughn was good.

At least they have an exciting farm system 

I'm sure they'll do a great job developing the prospects they get in return for Giolito

Feels like once a series Robert will take an obvious ball 4 that's called a strike.

Im officially on the he needs to be traded wagon. I held off as long as I could but get rid of him.

They'd get practically nothing in return. The "value" would mostly just come from clearing up a positional logjam.

Eloy's body just can't hold up at all. It's a shame.

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 2 6:35PM CT]

At least Crochet and Bummer both looked good.

Romy 604 OPS

Andrus 509 OPS

 

Romy's been a bright spot but there are alarm bells going off with how bad his plate discipline is

+ MLB wanting the Yankees to be competitive this season

The call to end game 1 easily could have been overturned

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 2 6:35PM CT]

It'd be nice if the Sox could claim someone on waivers who puts up a 130 wRC+ like Bauers is right now

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 2 6:35PM CT]

Sheets is a natural out there in RF huh 🙂

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 2 6:35PM CT]

Disappointing result, but solid AB again for Frazier

Robert's jumps are just incredible.

It's my favorite part of watching this team on a daily basis. It's amazing watching him roam around in CF.

Clint Frazier revenge game?

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 1 3:05PM CT]

Get greedy and sweep this thing

I'm speechless. This reliever blows. Foul ball tho.

It's a cold world when relievers with a ~2.40 ERA aren't considered good enough

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 1 3:05PM CT]

NEVER IN DOUBT

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 1 3:05PM CT]

It might be inconclusive enough not to overturn but TA looks off the bag

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 1 3:05PM CT]

You've gotta be kidding me

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 1 3:05PM CT]

Never in doubt 🙂

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 1 3:05PM CT]

That'll do nicely

He hasn't given up an earned run since May 13th. His WHIP in the last month is just over 1.

It's wild to me how some players get the full recency bias "what have you done for me lately" treatment, and others have to spend an apparent eternity to shed the weight of fanbase narratives.

The pitch clock is definitely in his head. I think that's contributed to a ton of his struggles. But his strikeout rate and stuff are still elite. The walks will come down and every mistake he's made getting punished to this degree is not sustainable over a full season.

Not super confident with Reylo

I still believe in him but defending any player on here who's struggling is a losing battle

[6/8 Sox @ Yankees Doubleheader Game 1 3:05PM CT]

That pitch has been called a strike regularly all game
