While attempting to piece together a future lineup, it is so easy to dream on it. There are so many possibilities. If you pencil in guys like Madrigal, Vaughn, Robert and Collins, it could be nuts. DH isn't even filled unless Eloy moves there. I like Madrigal leading off if he hits his ceiling, so my lineup looked something like this: Madrigal 2B Robert CF Moncada 3B Jimenez LF Vaughn 1B Abreu DH? Anderson SS McCann/Collins C RF Hopefully someone speedy. Leury/Cordell/Tilson are great options if the latter two hit their ceilings or Leury stays as is. Then there's guys like Basabe, Adolfo, Rutherford, Walker, Gonzalez... you have to imagine at least one of this giant group will pan out. This could be the best lineup in the AL in short order.

I didn't see the game yesterday or today so far, but I noticed in the highlights that his color was... very good. Better than on radio, I feel. Go DJ! Too bad he's been stuck with Hawk and Farmer his whole career.

Yeah. I see why people avoid them. People apparently put no thought into their comments and don't allow for a stupidity-filter to be put in place before commenting.

So the solution is for us to b**** and whine about it here in a season where he has shown tremendous progress going from average to good? There's no point in complaining about a players progress when he is proving he can make significant progress.

Are people being sarcastic? Most of the time, TA is balling up there. Fuck you if you think he's not allowed to have a bad game.

This is a very good point. I forgot about the Orioles anal behavior towards injuries.

"Im ready". ?

Abreu's on pace for well over 100 RBI and people are shitting on him. Is that stat advanced enough for you?

You guys are missing the forest through the trees. Drafting Vaughn makes the Sox decide that they cannot allow Alonso's option to vest, meaning we should see Yonder DFA'd to make room for Vaughn next year. It's a win-win. Drafting Vaughn helps the Sox this year even if he doesn't play. ?

I'm leaning Vaughn over Abrams finally. There's just so much potential in that bat. I don't care where he plays defensively if he has a ceiling of one of the best hitters in the game.

Im just here for the weird hatred people have for Hostletler.

Tim Anderson: Keep calm and... keep calm.

Half the suburbs got wrecked by that storm. It should be no surprise that a baseball game is the last thing on their mind.

Cant keep throwing meatball change ups like that.

Damn Lucas. Killin it.

That was murdered.

Houston deserves those 2 popouts for that horse shit catchers interference.

Oh, are they their best pitchers?

What would we have had to trade to land Yelich? And would you have done it?

I dunno, I feel like Avi has been finding his way in this game and injuries aside, will be a contributor wherever he goes. I don't think stardom is in his future though, which makes letting him go somewhat forgivable. I'd have given him one more year though, to avoid the likes of Nicky Delmonico who probably won't be a regular MLB contributor being on this team. At least Avi being gone allows us to see what we have in Cordell. He could become equal to Avi offensively and his superior defensively. So I'm okay with that.

Lost in all this is that it was really nice to finally beat Bieber. Guy needs to know that he is human.

This may have already been covered, but this is my theory. She chose fear. What better way to inspire fear across all of Westeros than tales of what happened at Kings Landing? Nobody will want to be on her bad side as long as a dragon is alive. She stopped caring about love, and to inspire fear knew what she needed to do.

Meh, your whole argument is lazy. Just like the writers, I guess. Have fun not having fun. I've enjoyed the ride. As for the bolded... really, you can stop beating us with your hyperbole stick. I yield!

So whose fault is it then? GRRM? Cause earlier you seemed convinced D&D are killing the show like all the other sheeple who love to be cool and find ways to hate popular things.
