I liked Youk as a ballplayer, but, imho, he's a nightmare in the booth. I'm getting the Jays' feed, so I'm not being tortured by the Youk.
-
That was a well-turned DP.
-
Hey, Vegas, dig this. The SOX leadoff batter and the SOX number 9 batter are tied for 2nd in RBI for the SOX. You can't make this shite up.
-
There's also this 22 year older named Kristian Campbell, a top prospect, who may be competing for that 2nd base job, also.
-
Well, he certainly helps shore up the SOX infield defense. Credit where credit's due.
-
I thought he drove in a run. Anyway, nice hit.
-
Hopefully, we've underrated this 23 year old.
-
Timely hitting by Grissom. Impressive.
-
The SOX FO will trade Masa and they won't get much in return unless they add another top prospect or eat a portion of his contract. Either way he will be traded to free up the DH slot. I, personally, will miss Masa because I like the way he plays the game. Always hustles.
-
I agree with that.
-
Speaking of the Iron Man, O'Neil apparently wants 54 mil for 3 years, but he might take 48 mil. That's still a lot of money to give a guy who may play an average of 100 games a season.
-
Two more RBI for Rafaela.
-
Where's O'Neill? Injured again? Does Cora know that the SOX aren't mathematically eliminated?
-
Have you ever had a fit of optimism? BTW, there's 31 other NHL teams that won't win a championship. Your betting he gets signed just makes it more likely he won't.
-
It doesn't look too promising the BRUINS are going to sign Swayman. He wants 10mil/yr and the BRUINS FO doesn't seem to want to go over 8mil. Huge difference between the money in the 3 other major sports compared to the money in the NHL. 10 mil/yr in MLB gets a you a Kluber, but in the NHL 10mil is too high for, perhaps, the best goalie in the league. Of the 4 major sports, imho, goaltenders get the least respect of any position. They're usually the most underpaid, and yet they may play the most nerve racking and important position in the sport.

Francis is 28 years old. I just checked. The way the Toronto booth was describing him I thought he was much younger. So he came up to Toronto last season as a 27 year old reliever.
-
Similar to Houck in that both started their MLB career as relievers.
-
Since 8/26 the SOX starting pitching has the lowest ERA in MLB. The Blue Jays have the 2nd lowest. I was aware from watching the games the SOX starters were doing well, but I didn't realize they were doing that well. During that same period the SOX offense was ranked near the bottom. That did not surprise me.
-
His WHIP over his last 8 starts is 0.56
-
The less things change the more they stay the same. The 1st inning has not been kind to Duran's at-bats. Runner on 2nd with no outs not scoring.
-
After winning their 79th game last night there shouldn't be any pressure on the SOX.
-
Francis has been one of the best, if not the best, starters the last 2 months.
-
Addition by subtraction.
-
I'm not defending him; no reason to. I do enjoy the fact that Rafaela is living in your head rent free.
-
Might call this a 'walk on' win.
