Giolito vs Skubal

City Connect jersey day too I believe?

I made the trek home from Nashville and will be in attendance tomorrow with the family.  Anyone from Soxtalk who randomly sits behind me gets a free beer or two on me.  Just please don’t pull a @Jack Parkman and turn down the offer.  There is nothing more sinful than saying no to free beer.

Obviously he was wearing a “Chicago white Sox” tshirt so he was easy to identify

Holy Crap, I saw him at the game and didn't know it...would've bought him a dog and a beer.

Just curious, is Nashville going to build a new stadium for a MLB franchise?

You want the first crack at the GM job?

The only GM job I want is the  White Sox  GM  job.

Yes, he saw me say I was at the game and he was literally in my section like 15 rows behind me.  I sat with him for an inning and tried to buy him beers multiple times but he shot me down.  Jack is a good dude though.

This has to be played once in a while.

 

93 today. Perfect for all black uniforms.

Not sure where the expansion efforts stand with Dave Dombrowski jumping ship.  Is that a sign of waning optimism or him just pursuing a better move for himself?  The other thing I struggle with is the AAA team just built a brand new stadium for like $70M six years ago that is very close to downtown Nashville.  Not sure that would be a deal killer, but I’d imagine it at least adds some complexity.  But I’d personally love to see an expansion team in Nashville and think it would be better than most alternatives.

The irony of Nashville getting a team and trading for Machado would make me laugh

Lol...if that were to happen ?

Reasons for optimism today:

• Skubal is really bad against RH hitters (.363 wOBA, 6.50 FIP, 5.24 xFIP)
• The Sox are the best team in baseball against LHP (.361 wOBA, 134 wRC+)
• The Tigers suck against Giolito (.593 OPS over 111 plate appearances)
• Lucas is coming off his best three game stretch (12 K/9, 0.81 WHIP, 2.56 FIP)
• Lucas’ velocity is also improving (94.7 mph over last 3 starts, 93.5 before that)

You’ve been killing it with these recently.

 

Can't sweep if we don't win today. 

So these city connect unis are only for a few teams?   Didn’t they do something recently where all the teams got some alternates?  I think the Sox were white on white or something, is this different?

You really do need to be selective when considering MLB GM positions.
