We're well past the point of no return.

That seems impossible with the way they've been handling prospects in general

If he doesn't start there he surely won't be long for A+

Does kenley Jensen throw anything else?

The Astros have been the best team in baseball the past 3 years. The White Sox one of the worst. The Sox have won the season series twice in that span. Baseball is dumb.

Tim Anderson says screw you I don't have to learn to take walks, I'll just learn to hit everything.

I know this has been thrown around jokingly a few times, but now the Charlotte lineup is definitely better than the one in Chicago.

Would like to see more K's but against the Astros just not getting your tits lit is a win.

Does anyone have actual eyeballs on Cease?

Has Cease pitched like nothing but afternoon games? I fell like I've been able to sit down and watch him only once.

Memorabilia collecting is something I will absolutely never understand

Idk about tune in, but he's bound to say something that ends up on 10 thousand instagram meme pages

Disagree. And also who cares, it's a one game gimmick for shits and giggles. Not everything needs to be some grand indictment of the organization.

If the amount of credit he gives to Ron Washington is to be taken seriously, then doubtful. And I believe a lot of his defensive value is helped by playing next to chapman, not that he hasn't greatly improved.

Semien, in my mind, is a bigger indictment on player dev. I don't think they'd ever get out of in what the A's have.

That's an awful lot of postponed games

TA is lava hot

This is so dumb but Bill Walton is rarely not tier 1 content

The people it was pretty obviously directed are making quite a big deal out of it...

It's honestly kind of hilarious that Ron assumes people who say anything positive are obsessed with Abreu and Greg thinks everyone hates him. Like a balancing force, without which we would topple over.

The TA/Gleyber Torres poster really highlights how bizarre the stance on the original cover is. People don't stand like that Mr Costner.

Like I said, plan and execute are different things. They'll probably fall flat on their face because that's what they do, but I think there's more than one indication that they expect to be a good team.

Have to imagine MLB is comping the owner to leave a field unplanted for parking

I think it was. Their official communication said this is in partnership with the MLB vs the yankees just saying they're happy to be involved. And even if it wasn't, I don't think the MLB could or would force a team to give up their biggest gate of the year.

Not necessarily a huge splash, but it does sound like it was their idea, and I don't think they would want to embarrass themselves so maybe a sign they expect to flip a switch. Expect and execute, of course, are totally different things though.
