I was really looking forward to these series at the beginning of the season, and after the Cubs did what they did to start the season.

That fan has a shirt on that says "ivy and bricks and pennants and rings" lmao he needs a shirt that's little less plural

Lets gooo. Crosstown MVP bold prediction: Leury Garcia

Sox blocked hahaha

Good play by our MVP

Wonder if Collins made a deal with Seby to eff up so Collins can have his backup catcher spot back.

Yeah, he needs to be hitting 3rd or 4th at this point.

I sure hope so. If not, I think they should show off the Southside unis.

I think it's spelled pewp

Cancelling 10 grand of student loan debt would wipe away about half my debt and allow me to finally start saving for a house. My wife and I decided when we were married that we'd be debt free before buying a home, and that would be the only debt we'd ever willingly go into ever again. Do I "need" student loan forgiveness? No...we both have decent jobs with decent pay. But it sure as hell would help me get ahead. I'm 27, wife is 29. Still renting an apartment... I am definitely part of the group that didn't really understand the weight of student loans coming out of high school. Don't get me wrong, I highly value the education I received, but would I do it over again had I known then what I know now about money management? Hell yes I would. And if I have kids, they will know at a young age.

He's earning it. Just like Yermin earned his ab's. If the kids can play, Tony's gonna play them until they can't play anymore.

I agree with this. Especially when Grandal comes back. You need your backup catcher to be able to catch better than he hits. Seby is the better catcher between him and Collins. Eloy and Robert coming back also diminishes the need for Collins' bat in the lineup.

Should have done that! Now I know

Milwaukee was the same way when I was there for the Sox series. Took an hour and a half just to get IN to the park. Missed the 1st 2 innings.

Love it.

It's a long season. They're going to go through ups and downs, especially with being down 3 major bats in the lineup. You know what is fun to watch? Fantastic pitching. Pitching wins ballgames. Winning ulitmately is what matters. They win. Winning is fun.

Baseball... the sport where you score 11 in one game and lose and then only score 2 the very next game against the same team and win.

This team is so fun to watch right now.

Kimbrel and Liam...good luck

Offense is anemic

I agree with what you say and your reasoning behind it. I'm not trying to take a good bunt and use it to argue in support of bad bunts, it's just I hear a lot of people want to do away with it entirely, based purely on numbers, which shouldn't happen. Maybe the title of the thread should be changed to "bunting works" to "bunting isn't as bad as what it's been made out to be."

But...they struck out 3 times with the bases loaded on non-bunt ABs ?

You're right.

?

This team has lost for over a decade, and now they are in first place with a 9 game lead entering August with the best pitching staff in the AL and people STILL b**** and whine about them. You don't know how good we have it right now. You must not have been with the team through the rebuild. Have a nice evening!
