we all knew this guy was going to shut our shitty offense down. Second MLB start.

Robert: Just tell me how fast he throws

Maybe keeping things simple and not THINKING/ANALYZING things too much is actually what works best for him.

I don't think most were expecting a mid 800's OPS.   Hoping.  But not expecting, exactly.

Its less about Robert and more about how this team prepares for pitchers they have never seen before

Really does just feel like the White Sox were content to get 2 out of 3...a sweep was expecting way too much.

8 groundouts so far in this one already.

Game moving fast, not shocking for the finale of straight DH with the challenging weather conditions.

well this went to s%*# fast.

This one in danger of getting out of hand...

I assume there is a movie about Fluffy's career.

Vasquez looking for his first major league win in only his second start...

And because he faces the Sox lineup he looks like a cy young candidate

Created a poll even...if forced to, would you choose to eat a tub of ketchup, mustard, mayo or BBQ sauce with a WOODEN spoon, haha?

Boogie Nights?

 

Phillies just tied it in the bottom of the 9th against DET.  Tied 2-2, 1st and 2nd, two outs.  Lange another blown save.

White Sox are going to stay percentage points above DET for 3rd place tonight, regardless of what happens in the Sox/Yankees game.

Burger with a nice pick at first base...

Moncada is an elite defensive 3B

Not only is burger better than vaughn at the plate, he's also probably a full win better at 1st over the course of the year.

I think someone else pointed out earlier this season that Burger might be our best defensive 1B

it's not even close. burger is a cromulent 3B, he's easily an above avg 1st base. Vaughn is an absolute stiff, which at 5-10 is a real problem. He has no range.

Sox offense is playing like all they want to do is get on the plane and fly home.

Thank goodness. I’ll be able to sleep well tonight now. Nothing like being a few percentage points ahead in a battle for 3rd/4th place on June 8. 

Guardians crushing the Red Sox, looks like they'll somehow just be 1 1/2 games back at 29-33 going into action tomorrow.

 

Naylor and Jose Ramirez the ONLY two hitters with over an 800 OPS in the CLE line-up..everyone else below 700.

Kasper just spent 2-3 minutes talking it up, lol.

That's what happens when you're paid by your team to promote the product on the field.

Romy's been a bright spot but there are alarm bells going off with how bad his plate discipline is

Yeah, would go with KC Masterpiece (if it still exists), Gates or Oklahoma Joe's.

 

Kasper just predicted 86-76 would be enough to win the Central.

That's almost where the 2008 season ended, and both those Sox and Twins teams were much better...not to mention the increased difficulty of schedule this year.
