I wonder if the Yankees would avoid throwing Happ against us because of our success vs LHP

Yup, it's the kind of thing that just needs time. He'll be fine, and if we had a month left, I wouldn't be worried. Hopefully this is the week he turns things around

I don't think we sign him anyway, but the team's recent incorporation of analytics is a big reason they're so good

Thanks!

Would be curious to hear what @ptatc thinks about the bend in his right knee after he releases the ball? Is that normal?

Obviously he was talking about Erik Johnson.

Damn it. Hahn gave up on an elite talent too soon AGAIN.

Ironically, this is spoken like someone who has no idea what the players on the White Sox are like

Yes, his baserunning rating is heavily affecting his WAR, and no, he wasn't following the coach's signal, he ran through stop signs multiple times and was thrown out every time

There's a pretty good chance this ends up happening (Twins 4 and Yankees 5), and I can't think of a worse matchup for the Twins

Reynaldo Lopez might have to start a playoff game

It really is ridiculous. Well over half of the comments are about that play, which had no impact on the final result. I'd get it if we won 2-1. And the rule is dumb, but the call was consistent with the rule. The Sox have been on the other end of that several times

The Sox are the best offense in the league. We shouldn't be scared of good pitching, good pitching should be scared of us. And frankly, we've beaten the big names like Bieber (it was the bullpen that blew it) and Cole (2019, I believe Eloy took him deep in Houston and he took the loss)
