His bat is painfully slow this year. This might be the end, tbh. This is why you don't trade Yermin this offseason...

That was awesome, lol

Do you think you would call him out as much as you do if 1. he wasn't perceived as a Sox "insider", and 2. his political views aligned with yours?

I still hate the idea of trading Yermin so Eloy can be DH. We all know how great Eloy's potential is. However, Yermin has been nothing short of spectacular. It doesn't look like a fluke, either. He has huge power, works the count, takes walks, quick bat, and has an awesome approach. He'll shorten his swing with 2 strikes - depending on the pitcher out there. He can still mash homeruns with his shortened stroke, too. Many baseball professionals think he is the real deal after what they have seen. Furthermore, DHs don't have that much value. A DH like Yermin with 1 year of experience definitely won't have much value. Abreu has 1 year left on his deal. The Sox should start with Eloy-Robert-Vaughn in the OF. If it is that much of a detriment to the team, you trade somebody early in the season. See if they can handle it for a year, then move Eloy or Vaughn to 1st/DH the next year.

Imo, at least give him a 10 day contract or whatever so he can retire under his longtime manager. One last game. Give him the sendoff he deserves. He's an all time great.

Lol, so it was April 4th. Bummer did indeed come in on April 4 though, with the game tied. Balta's timeline is all jacked up. Mistakes that happened in 1 game are spread across multiple games. Edit: Nvm, that one was April 7 against Seattle.

Lotssss of errors in here. What were you looking at? April 2: this was not opening day. The white Sox won this game. April 4: Lynn started, followed by Heuer, then Bummer came in when it was 4-4. April 5: the Sox won this game 6 to 0. Foster did not blow the game evidently. April 13: Yermin started this game, Bieber did not pitch this game. Hendriks did not pitch this game. Fake news Balta! Rescind the likes he got for the post!

fathom is the man. The guy is the absolute king of one liners.

I tuned in recently and he mentioned that the Robert and Eloy injuries could be bad karma for hiring TLR. Dude is a grade A douche.

Troll takes aside, my favorite serious take in this thread is that it is the MLB's fault for changing the rules. LOL. That is just gold.

Is joc still available?

As a former B&B fan, I can't stand Bernstein now. He was an asshole then, but I found it kind of funny. Now he's an asshole and a self righteous, hardcore SJW. He's become insufferable.

Troy and WokeUp on maximum overtroll

Just do it. Preller would do it.

What happened to the good old fashion sieve analysis?

Just fail him on his 2022 physical. Easy peasy

I WON THE DAY YESTERDAY!! MOST LIKES, BABY!!!

Everybody knew Latos' performance was smoke and mirrors. His peripherals were garbage. Nobody in our rotation is comparable to him. Maybe Keuchel, but he's our 5th pitcher, so who cares?

There's no need to overthink this. LF Eloy, CF Robert, RF Vaughn, DH Yermin That offense absolutely spanks.

You don't trade a guy with his kind of bat... he's been absurd so far and has showed no signs of slowing down.

I'm hoping for a Bonds-like OPS out of our player as well

LOL. Post-game mentioned how the only other modern era pitcher to have 10+ Ks, allow no more than 1 hit, and get 3 hits did with the bat today was Catfish Hunter. Ozzie then says thank god Hawk isnt still calling the game, or else we would have had to hear Hawk talk about Catfish Hunter the entire rest of the game. Then Ozzie did a Hawk impression. "I tell you what, Catfish Hunter was the best..." That was good stuff.

I actually kind of like the Benetti-Len play by play duo

This ump is shit

Where though? Doubt Tony plays him over Eaton, and that defense would likely be brutal
