Jose Abreu

I know it apparently came from a 1 on 1 interview, but the source on that is Nightengale, which is something that should be mentioned in my opinion

I wonder why Castillo wasn’t pulled for not hustling (didn’t even run until the last second, just stood there) on a routine flyout in the middle innings. I guess it’s only an issue when Anderson and Moncada do it to a far lesser extent?

I don't agree with this. There was the one called third strike today. Other than that, over the past month or so, it has barely happened relative to May/June

At this age, on this pace, Trout is the GOAT and it isn’t close.

How he's a. still allowed to post, and b. actually being taken seriously is beyond me. Literally every. single. one. of his posts are just fear mongering negativity. It's not even a well-hidden troll job

I would use Reddit

Moncada

Because all today needed was another Luis Robert hand injury

In an extreme pitchers park, too

Ironic, coming from the guy who thinks Tim Anderson isn't good solely due to his OBP

Well now you're on to something... medical staffs and trainers indeed have zero impact on pitchers' health when it comes to UCL tears. An unrelenting need to "blame" this on somebody for the sake of confirmation bias doesn't make any sense

Goldman deal is huge. Very underrated NT. I'm honestly feeling good about the opener. We have the leverage right now, the Packers defensive players have even admitted that they have no idea how to gameplan for us because they don't know what our offense is. And nobody does know, really. I'm excited to finally see it unveiled.

There were many plays where he wouldn't even go through progressions; he would just stare down one receiver the entire time and fire an incomplete pass. The worst part? When I noticed this, that one receiver was never even Julio.

They're dropping like flies out there, so many injuries

I found this interesting because Stone seems to be implying that, if he were in the booth last weekend, he would've challenged Hawk on-air

Please continue, rain... let's have Kopech's stats wiped!

Assuming the forecast holds, the Sox would be idiots to even send him out to start. But that's what I said last time against Boston and they still did it.

This second half surge reminds me more of the 2014 Cubs than it does of the 2013 Royals. Lester was their big FA, so we'll see if we can get one too. A lot would have to go right for our 2019 to be like their 2015, but I'd also argue that we're in a better spot as an organization on this date than they were in early September of 2014.

Boog Powell is a free agent in 2024 and he's not good. Did you mean someone else?

I was shocked by Pollock's numbers. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=polloaj01&year=2018&t=b I remembered him as a .900 OPS guy with good defense in center this year. He has gotten worse every month dropping his rate stats significantly since I last checked, plus you always have to be wary of home/road splits for Rockies and Diamondbacks players. I don't even know if he would be worth it

Part of my point is that the team was very unlucky in April/May, so I see this more as regression to the mean than some sort of outlier

Yeah, a Pollock contract would be tough with our farm system. Obviously no guarantees, but between Robert, Basabe, Gonzalez, and even Rutherford, I'd be very surprised if we don't produce one MLB starting caliber center fielder. I don't know if Pollock would take a 1-2 year bridge deal, but maybe if it were with $20 million AAV so that he can prove that he can stay healthy and then get more on the open market again
