Great jump

Yeah give me the big crowds for the playoffs, but for a regular season game 20-25k is perfect.

Longenhagen in his chat today said he doesn't think Turang should go 1-1 because he's unsure about the bat but didn't offer an alternative. Hopefully someone separates from the pack.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 12:16 PM) Why can everyone else travel from one side of the continent and back in the same time it's taking the Night King to march from Hardhome. He's got to go about 1/50th of the distance. Yeah I wouldn't really have a problem with the frantic pace/traveling taking no time at all (because I don't really need to see Jon travel from Dragonstone to Eastwatch) if we at least got some legitimate reason as to why the dead army is taking so long to get to the Wall from Hardhome. I know they took a detour with Bran last season but give us something else. Like maybe show a scene that indicates they're hunting down every last living creature north of the Wall to bolster their numbers. Or they're waiting for a certain area to freeze/get colder or something. It wouldn't be that difficult to show a legitimate cause for their relative slowness.

I really hate the Royals so I'd be fine with another sweep. We can start losing again afterwards.

Screw the tank, let's just win out.

Rodon has faced 81 batters since his last walk.

I don't think Moncada had a chance at getting Reddick even if he fielded it cleanly.

This series is so baseball, of course we would be dominating the Astros.

McHugh's curveball is nasty.

Delmonico already looks so comfortable at the plate. Fantastic at bat.

Great job working the walk after being down 0-2.

Giants won

In his chat today Dave Cameron said that if the Yankees make the wildcard game they should start Chapman and have the bullpen pitch the whole game and save Severino for Game 1 of the ALDS. I'd love to see that happen.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) Flowers option will be picked up. Suzuki and Wieters are two of the worst framers in the game. Thought Wieters is interesting enough. Lucroy is probably going to get expensive. Too expensive for the Sox in their current situation. Lucroy used to be a good framer but he's rated as the worst in the game this year. There's an article on the Ringer that talks about how he no longer crouches as low as he used to and doesn't stay as still as he used to when catching pitches. And at his age I wouldn't bet on his framing skill coming back. Even if the money made sense I'd want the Sox to stay away.

Syndergaard had a cameo in last night's episode.

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 07:28 PM) I know it's hard to walk away from the $$$ but I go back to pride and greed. This guy has already made millions, how much better is he going to live if he hangs around until his contract is over. So you would retire in his situation? I highly doubt you would.

Delmonico is having a hell of a series.

Great game all around for Yoan, three straight good at bats.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 04:31 PM) I have nothing to back this up but the striking out looking thing seems to me like it's an easier fix than swinging and missing a lot. I think you might have posted in the wrong thread?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 03:58 PM) I am not an enamored. Its a fine deal, but I wouldn't be that excited if I were a Texas fan. Not to mention the rest of their deals sucked. I agree, especially since Calhoun likely ends up at DH. But I don't think they could have done much better either, so I think both teams came out OK in the deal.

Great deal for the Yankees, both in the short term and the long term.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 11:15 AM) Every team needs some kind of sustained winning to build on. The Indians were brought up earlier, in the 90's they had that crazy sell out streak. Now, after 15 years of suck (and other elements that have hurt that city) things are not in a good place. My point is you at least need to give a fan base that window of "good" before you judge them when the team is bad. The Sox don't have that. If they had a 3-4 year stretch of competitive, playoff baseball, then got bad...I think things would be a different. One playoff apperence in 10 years? Haven't had a playoff win since 2005? This franchise quite frankly deserves NOTHING from us. Hey now, how could you forget that thrilling 5-3 victory in the 2008 ALDS to avoid the sweep?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) I bet Yankees do end up making that deal. Yeah that seems pretty fair, unless the Yankees are really high on Florial.

Sell Holland as a LOOGY, Clippard I have no idea, he used to not be this bad?
