Can someone give TLR a fake Lopez baseball card showing he pitched for Cardinals instead of Nationals minor league affiliates...?

Historically, players like Konerko, Carlos Delgado and Bobby Abreu were stars. You have to have a career at least in the Hall of Very Good. 

Compare a typical Paul Konerko season to TA, Abreu, Robert, Moncada before his talent got zapped in ST, Gio, Cease, etc. They're all going to come out just as good or better than him from a WAR perspective.

Twins flat out own us. 

Why doesn't Tim shoot it to right center like he did up until a week ago?

Timmy fails again with RISP

Compare Moncada to Scott Rolen. Apples to apples. 

Compare players to their peers at their position. IMO WAR unfairly punishes 1B and corner OF.

TA is a star and Cease is an ACE.  

TA is not a star.

I have yet to figure why Katz is the new Coop as far as getting a free pass.

The whole staff needs to go and the worst part is it will be former players from an era of mediocrity.

I think Katz will quietly leave when Giolito is no longer with the organization...but will attempt to remain loyal until then unless things just totally go south.

Two completely different strike zones tonight.

TA's f-bomb got clearly picked up by the mic.

Aaaaand we're gone.

Yep, about right.  

Bad time for TA to have what feels like his worst slump in years.

I'm going to say it. 

I hope the pegging was worth it, Ritchie. 

He should high step back to second.  

Manure

And Vaughn isn’t far behind unfortunately. The entire team is just lifeless

I'm sure teams tried to poach Don Cooper from the Sox and he was here for like 20 years. Katz isn't here just to be Lucas' personal pitching coach.

I know this. 

I think baseball is going toward the end of starting pitchers. Before too long there will be 2 3 inning pitchers that pitch one time through the order. 

Guess I'll check out Future Sox and see if anything good is happening there lol.

If you go back every season from 2001 to 2022, you can pinpoint an exact moment when the tide turned.

There are only the 2005 2008 and 2021 exceptions over two decades now...by the same organization that was threatened with contraction in the early 2000's.

no box scores to look at from MiLB tonight is brutal

19 straight against the Central. We'll start off 0-2. Think 7-12 record is to good for this team?

The main prospects did NOTHING tonight. Montgomery didn’t reach base.

Scrubs doing well tonight with Big Energy and Reese having 5 hits and TA, Vaughn, Abreu, Sheets no hits.
