If we're breaking shit over Collins not hitting in the 9th in games, we're gonna lose 100 games.

Maybe the AL and NL Centrals suck. Fools gold last year.

22 pitch inning almost cancels Bummer out for tomorrow. There is just no efficiency by either the Starters or Bullpen so far.

Pure laziness by ESPN.

Bummer doesn't look right.

I rather the Sox play better and win games. Much more than having mental masturbation over proving Steve Stone wrong.

Defense on Catcher has a lot to do more of than just framing. He's average to bad in everything outside of framing (which we'll give to him based on "the computer").

I didn't learn this, but I was sadly reminded of the stiff Grandal is on defense behind the dish. He lost a lot of strikes last night not only to a blind umpire but his exaggerated set up on the RH Batter's Box. Saw a lot of that last season. While "the computer" keeps calling him a great framer, please stop stealing strikes away from your pitchers by giving away the other corner.

Or name recognition. Beckham and Fulmer had their names plastered throughout every CWS game, it feels. Then trash at this level.

The troubling part about Madrigal to me is that there is just not one single thing about baseball that looks easy to him. None. It looks like he struggles to run for his size. Has a terrible batting stand and swing to go with it. Throws awful. Pop ups feel adventurous like the one tonight. Makes dumb decisions. WTF did every scout see here?

Gotta field your position. He got that rally started by botching the comebacker.

Ranking the bad: 1) Madrigal 2) Grandal 3) HP Umpire 4) LaRussa 5) Bummer

2006 for me. I don't think anyone expected 2005 to happen the way it did. But 2006, I felt we had the best team going in on paper.

You literally inferred that they lost the guy for being cheap. There was never a negotiation.

Yay, another "Jerry is Cheap" thread!!! Yawn.

Not for 5 months. Short term would have been fine, but not for the entire season. They'll need to make a move for a legit everyday bat who can give them at least .780 OPS from that position.

You're not a pro athlete. That's where you should have stopped typing.

It's the player quality, 4-5 star recruits for the big schools is the reason they get ranked high from the start.

Because of 1 random game results? This argument is made every year when big conference schools get upset. It's dumb. If Illinois plays Loyola 10 times, there's a good chance they beat them on 7-8 of those. Same for Ohio St vs Oral Roberts.

All indications are that Moncada will be hitting clean-up.

Very under-appreciated piece of the bullpen last year regardless of his stats. Answered the bell every time called.

Yeah, Bears ain't scoring 30 ppg with Foles / Dalton leading the way.

Well, the weasel hides and avoids questions ever since taking the job. I'm him, I just ride this out like the Hamburglar.

Cutting Fuller and losing Hicks (if it happens) puts this defense close to bottom 3rd in the league. The Defense was the only thing artificially keeping this team above mediocrity during this Pace/Nagy era. This might be a blessing to hopefully suck enough to finally dump these two clowns. Yes, 2 seasons too late. And yes, the same Circus Ownership gets to make another hire. But obviously this current football operations regime is a complete joke.

This is exactly what you need to do. The process was a breeze for me. Was in and out in 10 minutes with my purchase.
