This Royals team is gonna be something when they get Cags up there.  He and Witt are gonna be scary as f***.

With Pasquantino getting healthy as well, that's ALL you  need to win in the Central, and the ghost of Sal Perez (had a great outlier season last year).

Plus, Maikel Garcia's suddenly a useful player out of nowhere.

 

Really should have held onto Singer instead of trading for India, tbh.

Vaughn 104 EV but a loud out.

Some teams draft a Bobby Witt.  Others draft Colson Montgomery.

If the Sox had a Witt, Getz and fans start fantasizing about a haul and a stocked farm.  Of course that's always based on JR will never pay him

Gotta swing the bat Baldwin

Baseball comes up with more meaningless stats that somehow convince a player is not bad,  It's probably agents that come up with these stats.  Never release a bad player because his EV  night find hole.

Cease has a no-hitter for 6 in the Bronx...

 

This particular game is lulling everyone to sleep, lol.

I don't even remember who the Sox got for him

I don’t know. Maybe bring up like your three hottest hitters from Charlotte.

$288.8 million max value.

That's almost FOUR TIMES the Grandal and Benintendi deals, lol.

Plus there would be diminished skills clause/poison pills/team or mutual option years...no trade clause to AL Central, limiting potential return/s.

Thorpe, Zavala, Iriarte, Wilson

Thorpe, Iriarte, Zavala (still struggling, but showing "signs" supposedly of breaking out according to our minor league forum...still at least 2 years away at the most optimistic)

Wilson has been the second most effective pitcher in the bullpen after his 2024 fell apart in spectacular fashion.

 

Royals' hitting with runners on base tonight pretty putrid...but they don't have to do MUCH, especially when you have Witt, Jr.

So it's not a wow.

Julks and Elko both have over 1.000 OPS numbers...try someone new por favor.

Clevinger, thankfully, rocked for 4 in 2 innings for CLT, surrendered 5 hits.

Maton?  Check.

Maybe Elko will follow in the footsteps of Oscar Colas and put out a social media please for release from captivity???

Would be nice to bring an outfielder off the bench with a 728 OPS like Canha.

Except that would be one of the leading hitters on the Sox.

I like Vargas now.

Fantastic game for Vargas

Yikes, what a return.  Remember when last season was just a fluky bad season for Zavala?  Ughhh…

Meanwhile, Wilson was DFA’ed, Iriarte walks the world, and we have to wait another year to see what Thorpe is.

White Sox, just in time to probably f*** the Royals Runline.

But also, that’s my 1B!

Edited May 8, 2025May 8 by Bob Sacamano

Don't think anyone had Miguel Vargas as the best player on the team (well, maybe other than Robert or S.Smith) at this point in the season...

I'm not going to complain but how didn't Robert get to 2nd there

Holy s%*# Robert adjusted on a slider and crushed it!

No Beavis or Mr President tonight!
