    I’m not real sure what the debate is. The sell off has clearly already started. It’s like we’re on the Titanic post iceberg, and people are still debating whether or not to get in the life boats…

    Vaughn Grissom for Hoskins? Per BTV, it’s an overpay….

    Almost all lottery tickets aren’t worth the dollar you paid for them..

    I think you kissed my crude, childish reference. Probably says good things about you…

    Crochet is the Sox number one and Buehler is pure number two…

    Buehler is awful and this game might last 7 hours…

    I thought it was interesting that Story favorably compared Mayer at 3b to his former teammate and Gold Glove hoarder Nolan Arenado. Does he really think Mayer is that good? Or was he planting a seed about keeping Mayer at third as opposed to taking Trevor’s job?

    That “upgraded defense” features backup players everywhere but shortstop at times. It’s not the real defense. At least when Mayer plays third, it’s a little better. But they still seem to have at least 2 of Romy, Toro and Hamilton on the field at all times…

    The big problem with errors is there some guy’s opinion, and the rebuttal is always “but most errors are obvious.” Of course that never takes into account plays that should be errors but are not scored as such. This Saturday I went to Wrigley for a Cubs-Mariners game. I saw defensive whiz Pete Crow-Armstrong misplay two towering flyballs that both landed within a couple feet of him. I saw Ian Happ stop charging a third pop up and let it fall just feet in front of him. All three easily makable plays were scored as hits, as though they were unplayable. I saw Vidal Brujan one-hop a throw to first that Michael Busch avoided, scoring an E-5 on what should have been an E-3. It’s simply a bad stat. The Sox have made far too many errors, but their other metrics bear out their weak defense as well…

    But they’re the first triumvirate of teammates aged 22 and under to homer in the same season since 1974! And yes, you should easily name the last trio to accomplish that feat…

    Are the top 100 really expected to be impact players? It seems unrealistic that there are a full 100 future impact players every year, even taking into account some players appear for multiple seasons. If you go back and look at any BA list from far enough in the past, you probably see 50-60 players on that list that ended up as bench players, non-closing relievers, and players who simply never made MLB beyond a September call up,,,

    I’d prefer the other way, but your points are valid…

    While at one point, I envisioned a trade involving Story and Sean Murphy, the simple reality is Atlanta is far, far more likely to make a deal with Arizona for either Jordan Lawlor or Blaze Alexander…

    Let’s be fair - the Braves missed the playoffs despite Sale doing everything possible to get them there…

    The most irksome part is he decuded to leap into Victim Mode rather than help cover for an injured teammate. I can’t look at that at anything but remarkably selfish…

    It looks more like Devers forcing the issue. This wasn’t for stupid reasons like dealing Betts was…

    Do you mean you like Breslow more than you like Cora? Or that you like Breslow more than Cora does? Or both? Not like they’re mutually exclusive…

    Like to see a first base upgrade. Josh Naylor might be the best of the available candidates, beating out Rhys Hopkins, Josh Bell and 4’5” Andrew Vaughn…

    Rate is not so bad. You can actually park there and it’s easy to get good seats. But be careful. If you guess who wins the sausage race, you’re forced to join the White Sox bullpen…

    I do want to go to a game at Oracle. I’ll be at Wrigley today…

    He’s a backend starter/utility infielder, which makes him a below average Major Leaguer. But still a Major Leaguer, and roughly half of them are below average
  23. notin
    I disagree. But he’s definitely not the star Atlanta thought he was when they rushed him to MLB at 21 years old…

    It was a typo originally, but I liked it…

    The SDP/LAD stuff isn’t good fits and bad god; it’s bad guys and worse guys. I’m not sure who the worst person in that whole mess is, whether it’s Dave Roberts, Mike Shildt, Andrew Friedman, the Dodger ground crew, MLB Betwork, or the umpiring crew that let it all happen…
