Well, if anything it buys some goodwill towards a possible Eloy-like extension.

Meh, I don't see much of a fit for Yolmer because I doubt you'd ever want to PH him for anyone in our future lineup even against a right hander, and his defense isn't going to be significantly better than TA, NM or YM to where you'd want him as a defensive sub. He'll be too expensive to be worth it. Leury, on the other hand, can play outfield defensively for Eloy, and can be your backup IF and he also hits enough to grab a start or two a week.

I mean, if he simply dominates like this, how long do you wait to call him up? A week? I can't see any reason to keep him down there any longer if he just crushes AAA.

I love Abreu. I'm all for keeping him around to eat the sweet, sweet fruits of this rebuild. He wants to win, and he wants to win where he put in blood, sweat and tears to build a winner.

The masses hate this deal. It does look pretty bad considering how high some are on Jokiharju and low some are on Nylander. This'll be a wait and see trade. Hawks better be right in their evaluation of Nylander and self scouting of Joki.

Id trust Leury as a super sub, pinch hitter and #9 hitter Sunday lineup starter on the next competitive team. See whats available for him, but if its all pretty meh I'd look into an extension and probably prefer that anyway.

Thats the best one.

Tom Skilling was not optimistic about this.

Can't wait to go to this ga... Oh wait I'm working. ?

I know we all have injury PTSD, but this isn't that bad. Day off tomorrow.

I dont know where else to put my extreme exasperation at all the injuries throughout the organization. Holy fucking shit. I hope this horrible luck is behind us when were ready to compete.

A good defensive defenseman, which the Hawks really needed. Upside is a Nik Hjalmarsson type of player.

I was wondering about this as well. I've got tickets but I am not driving into the city an hour and a half just to have to turn around and come back.

What the FUCK he swung at an outside pitch and STILL tried to get out of the way.

Anyone else think that should have been a triple?

I didn't even really enjoy Wrigley as a visitor. No craft beer anywhere near the bleachers. Gotta walk a mile to go to the bathroom or find anything else to drink but beer. They randomly closed smoking areas. Cant tailgate.

Wow Jose pulling a ball when he was seemingly completely trying to push it to RF. Nice set up to get his pitch.

While true, many nowadays are cognizant of how employees are treated with respect to benefits in more progressive countries. We are behind, and no matter the environment I think it is fair to expect better from employers. I do appreciate the angle you bring, though, as I hadn't considered it. Thank you.

I think as a whole our society is transitioning away from feeling this way. You are #1 in your life. If your company sucks, no point in working there. If they aren't serious about improving the work-life of their employees right now, maybe they will be after they experience ridiculous turnover and the expenses associated with it. Companies like this will eventually become a dying breed.

Gotta give McCann credit for trying to frame that headhunter.

Man, he seemed like a semi capable hitter last year... but this year.. and missing a fastball right down the middle. Was he seriously sitting on offspeed!? Thats really bad.

I dont care for either franchise, but overall Im pleased the Blues won based on the simple fact that Boston teams have won enough championships lately. Also, I find it really cool that they were basically just as bad as the Hawks when the season started and then won it all. The Hawks should use this as extra motivation.

Is this the Colome regression everyones been talking about happening?

Damn I almost went to this game

Inning should be over lol
