It's untimely. Get it?

TLR is not and was not going to return with heart issues and a new pacemaker installed, even if he wanted to. Therefore "fire TLR "is a moot point and the article is a distraction for a team in the midst of a late play-off run. Really, give up the TLR nonsense and move on. It has become a distraction.

Eloy is a better and faster outfielder than Sheets or Vaughn, which isn't saying he is a good outfielder.

Eloy injured his hamstring running to first base. His other major injury was a compete fluke, reaching over the wall to try to catch a ball. He can easily avoid doing that again but no player is immune from injury. As far as not being an asset, well you have your own opinion and I'll just say I disagree.

A lot of men, especially those with a big chest and torso tend to box out with age. I think Vaughn is going to end up being a beast like Jim Thome.

If Eloy, Robert and TA were in the line-up together for most of the year, we probably win the Division. It is not hard to imagine that when you see what Eloy alone has done since the All Star break. Now Eloy needs someone other than Sheets hitting behind him to make sure he sees a few fast balls. Similarly, having Robert in the line-up instead of Leury for most of the year would have changed a lot of games. The Sox were not able to put the band back together for any length of time this year.

If Eloy is exclusively deployed as a DH he will only become more prone to injury. That is inevitable for a DH who no longer has to run much or stay in shape for that role yet is asked to come off the bench cold 5 times a game. Eloy needs to play LF for at least half the games. He's only 26 years old..

They can't win them all, but I know what you mean. I have been impressed with Romy G the past few series. His D is excellent and he has proven to be a clutch hitter with occasional power. There is no reason to put Leury or Harrison at second. If/When TA comes back, a decision will have to be made about where to deploy Elvis. I am not sure what I would do to be honest.

Guardians got walked off. Great day for our Chicago White Sox.

Vaughn's fade has nothing to do with sore legs. It has to do with Vaughn not being able to lay off outside sliders with two strikes on him. He will get better at that over time...but probably not in time for this stretch run.

Uh, he was in position to make a tag.

Watch the replay. The last bounce before it got to Moncada caused him to miss it. It wasn't his fault.

We really needed this game.

Walk him for Chrissakes.

I would intentionally walk this guy

As far as the population "shift", a lot of retirees understandably leave cities with colder climates ( some after their kids are done with public schools and the parents qualify for pensions including those funded by our State) . A lot of them end up moving back when they realize all the things that they miss from their family and friends to many other things that the greater Chgo area has to offer. ...like Lake Michigan water..(Google "Lake Meade") Our society is in the midst of a digital revolution that is more impactful than the industrial revolution was. But before you start packing to move to a hotter climate or scenic are, you better check to see how climate change might play a role in the future - drought, wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes. flooding, lack of drinking water. We are all in this together, no matter where you are from. We cannot get stronger by running away from our problems here and adding to others there.

In hindsight, high fastballs out of the zone to Arraez would have been harder for him to put the bat on for a hit. Cease hung it and Arraez hurt it. Cairo or Katz should have come out before Cease faced Arraez to calm him down and discuss strategy

Maybe cut the TLR stuff. It's bad karma and kind of a drag.

Eloy with one of the biggest HR of the year following Grandal's HR in yesterday's game.

No. Virtually every in-game decision TLR made was filtered through Cairo and other members of TLR's coaching staff. TLR frequently consulted with them throughout every game and before almost every major decision.

Sheets got hot for a few games and that was enough to block Colas from getting called up.

Sox are still in this fuego.

I am going to another game this year, maybe my last one. I always enjoyed going to games in the Fall when you can roam around the park, sit in empty seats anywhere you want , and enjoy the sights and sounds that sometimes get drowned out by the crowd. Back in the day we would smoke on the cat walk behind the scoreboard at the old yard. Good memories that I will take with me. .

Get well Tony.
