Jose Abreu

Especially because Carr is pretty mediocre. He's part of the Matt Stafford, Ryan Tannehill mold to me.

I guess another silver lining is that, with this new, albeit worse approach to appease the angry mob, he's no longer on pace to set the single season strikeout record. He might not even lead the league in them, Gallo is catching up a bit

Maybe some of it, but I doubt the burning of all of our timeouts was by design

One thing that isn't being mentioned since bigger issues showed up is how we consistently would break the huddle with 10 seconds left and snap the ball with 1 second left, or burn a timeout. That has to be fixed.

Honestly I think it was smart to let him score there. They were obviously getting a touchdown, so it's better that they do it sooner to give the Bears more time to score for themselves.

Not sure about 2018 but for his minor league career + 2017, he's the same exact hitter against lefties as he is against righties

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!
