Actually, Max, EO shook of a few of VAZ's calls. Remember, VAZ is a catcher, not a polisher of s***.
-
Barney Robles; yabba dabba doo.
-
Why don't you share your wisdom on a Yankem forum? They might actually care.
-
Is it too early to bring out the broom? The Jays are the better team; it just took 100+ games to prove it.
-
The SOX acquired JD to help them win a WS and he significantly helped do that.
-
Dugo is seeing the ball very well tonight. He's ignoring everything that isn't a strike.
-
The word is getting around. Pitch JD high and inside early and then you own him.
-
Kike remains amazing.
-
Hunter has a .233 career BA, so offensively he's definitely overachieved so far.
-
Worms are bringing a class action suit against JD for killing so much of their population.
-
EO leads all AL pitchers in fWAR. 2nd is Cole.
-
Maybe JD and a few others on the SOX also have injured wrists.
-
Based on Bogie's last swing it appears his wrist is fine.
-
Thanks for the info and I love the smell of coffee.
-
Toronto leads MLB with a .281BA with RISP.
-
JD performing his way back to the SOX next season.
-
Maybe Duran has to change his last name to Duranez.
-
Marwin in the line-up instead of Duran is wrong in so many ways. I thought the plan was bringing Duran up to face ML pitching.
-
EO has an ERA against the AL East of 2.13 so far this season. So there's that.
-
I'm going with my 'blind squirrel' pick tonight and predict Cordero hits a dinger.

Off topic: Kimbrel, who was, perhaps, the best closer in baseball this season was inserted into the bottom of the 8th inning today as a set up pitcher for the White Sox regular closer. The White Sox had a 4-1 lead going into the bottom of the 8th, but after giving up 2 singles, Kimbrel then gave up a 3 run homer and the Cubs have tied it. Kimbrel didn't finish the inning. Point being is it a good idea to take a pitcher who has been programmed to be a closer his entire career and make him a set up guy? Obviously, it wasn't a good idea today. Btw, as a closer for the Cubs this season before the trade deadline Kimbrel had only given up 1 HR.

"SOX are still in the postseason hunt." Similar to hunting a wild boar unarmed(pitching); when you confront the boar, what are your chances of defeating that boar and going on to the next one? Slim and none.
-
"Incredibly shallow in the starting pitching department." That would pretty much define most of the season, so far.
-
I wonder if he's any relation to Ponce?

AUG 5: BOS (Perez) @ DET (Skubal)

The ERA and WHIP surprises me. I thought the SOX would be closer to 30th in both. That the SOX rotation has given up more hits than any other rotation doesn't surprise me at all.
