    Obviously, we here were the only ones who noticed Kutter had nothing. Great managing again.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    How long is Story going to 'milk' his injury?
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    He fooled me. I've been praising how good he's been lately.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    An old-fashioned pitching duel happening tonight.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    What a difference having a DH makes.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Ya dun good, Vegas. Not many have gone 3-1 since July. You're still in the starting rotation.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Remember, MOON, one year at a time.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I think the SOX were looking ahead to playing golf in October.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    JD's agent just dropped him.

    Speaking of beer, back in the 90's Australian beer maker FOSTERS put out some of the funniest commercials in TV history. They would show a scene and then there would be a caption underneath explaining it. It was called 'speaking Australian.' The funniest one I can remember is there's what appears to be a kangaroo in the Australian outback and nothing else. After a few seconds the kangaroo removes his head and there's this guy inside. The caption read "witness protection program."

    During their previous homestand the Pirates did a 3 game sweep of a very good Brewers team. As bad as the Pirates appear they do average more than 1 win in every 3 games they play. So there's that.

    If you're referring to players on the IL, such as Sale and Story, then yes, they are part of the total payroll who aren't playing, but when you use the term 'unproductive,' it's a hell of lot more than $63 million.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    And when a Rays' player does establish a name, the Rays trade him for more 'no names.'
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX 2022 total payroll is 208 million. The Pirates total payroll is 66 million, so one could argue that the Pirates are getting more 'bang for the buck.'

    Clint Eastwood portrayed a 'man with no name' and kicked some serious ass.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX aren't built like a broom, so they're really not a 'sweeping' team. They're more or less modeled after a Hoover, so they're more closely related to a 'sucking' team.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Doesn't really matter; Cora will keep unproductive JD at DH, even after Story returns. Arroyo will return to utility role. Sad, but most likely, true.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The Dugo and Arroyo show offensively tonight. Dugo scores 5 runs and Arroyo has 3 RBI.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Only because DH comes after his name. DH includes 'Hitter.'
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    No way Cora can leave Arroyo's bat out of the line-up when Story returns. It's too bad Arroyo can't play CF.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Just responding to the post that Casas would platoon with Hosmer. I agree, there's no rush. However, the SOX are in need of a DH.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    With JD gone next season and most likely Bogey, there's no excuse for the SOX FO not to be very aggressive in going after Trey Turner this off season.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Hosmer and Casas are both LH batters.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Based on won/lost records, the Pirates are only the 4th worst team in MLB.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    When Story returns, is it at all possible that Arroyo becomes the DH? I doubt it, knowing Cora, but I wish it would happen.
