  1. It really is a bad look for a MLB player. Dick Williams and Billy Martin would bench any player who didn't hustle on every play. Unfortunately, the players have the power now.
  2. Was Devers told not to hustle to 1st or was that his own decision?
  3. Getting rid of JD, Bogey and EO will free up 59 million going into the off season. Seems like a healthy sum to improve this team.
  4. Has Sawanara ever had two good appearances in a row this season?
  5. Dumbass O's announcer just stated that he thought Kutter had good stuff tonight.
  6. Obviously, we here were the only ones who noticed Kutter had nothing. Great managing again.
  7. How long is Story going to 'milk' his injury?
  8. He fooled me. I've been praising how good he's been lately.
  9. An old-fashioned pitching duel happening tonight.
  10. What a difference having a DH makes.
  11. Ya dun good, Vegas. Not many have gone 3-1 since July. You're still in the starting rotation.
  12. Remember, MOON, one year at a time.
  13. I think the SOX were looking ahead to playing golf in October.
  14. 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."
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. And when a Rays' player does establish a name, the Rays trade him for more 'no names.'
  18. 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.'
  19. Clint Eastwood portrayed a 'man with no name' and kicked some serious ass.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. The Dugo and Arroyo show offensively tonight. Dugo scores 5 runs and Arroyo has 3 RBI.
  23. Only because DH comes after his name. DH includes 'Hitter.'
  24. 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.
