Q ERA watch - down from 5.22 at the start of the night to 4.59 now. Can get it to 3.99 with a complete game shutout.

 

4.50!

 

He's in normal pitcher territory!

lol, that's a verbatim quote, bruh. what context are you f***ing even on about?

Context and verbatim are not the same thing.

Context and verbatim are not the same thing.

 

I wasn't even gonna go there.

What context is he missing?

Context and verbatim are not the same thing.

 

I'm not sure how a declarative statement, with no caveats before or after, is supposed to be put into "context".

 

He said what he said. "It will be one of the greatest trades in WS history"

 

It was STONE that tried to give context with "if he keeps playing like this". Hawk is lucky that Stone tries to help him instead of just hanging him out to try.

Avi walk.

Yet another really nice at bat from Avi.

What context is he missing?

 

Before he said that, Hawk said "maybe, just maybe". He wasn't guaranteeing it would be the greatest.

All that said, Avi is having a helluva game and season so far. Keep it up dude.

Yeah guys he said when Avi retires in 15 years they'll say it was the greatest trade in white Sox history. It's absurd no matter the context.

Maybe he still really believes in Cleuluis Rondon

"When he is retired, hopefully 15 years from now, you look back and you will say one of the best trades etc....."

Before he said that, Hawk said "maybe, just maybe". He wasn't guaranteeing it would be the greatest.

 

lol sure. You need to put more caveats around a ridiculous quote like that.

He said hopefully. Big difference.

Before he said that, Hawk said "maybe, just maybe". He wasn't guaranteeing it would be the greatest.

 

no he didn't. Here's the full transcript:

 

Hawk: well, I've said it before and I''ll say it again, to me, when he is retired, hopefully 15 years from now, you'll look back and say one of the greatest trades the WS ever made was acquiring avi garcia"

 

Stone: "if he keeps playing like he's playing, he'll absolutely be up there".

Absolutely.

no he didn't. Here's the full transcript:

Seems to me Stone's comment is the silly one.

lol sure. You need to put more caveats around a ridiculous quote like that.

 

I don't need to. I'm not as butt hurt as others with what asinine comments Hawk makes game by game, regardless if its taken out of context.

not even close and he swings, ugh.

LOLOLOL

Seems to me Stone's comment is the silly one.

 

This will be my last post on this but again: Hawk is lucky Stone is there to help him out. He could have easily ripped him a new one right there.

Is this really Kansas City?!?

A creative slide!!

 

Or something - the Royals blow

Did Twins and Royals switch teams defensively?

After years of KC outclassing us in defense and fundamentals this is kind of a treat.
