He’s playing an excellent shortstop in TA’s absence, and can be plugged in anywhere. Yes, I think TLR has penciled him in a bit more than perhaps necessary this year, but man, a guy like Leury is super valuable.

Whar Leury? Whar?!?! I am kidding of course.

Be nice if he could catch the ball, though, since he’s, you know, a catcher and all. Seven passed balls in what? A month of work?

Hell yes. Everyone’s an Iowan tonight!

Holy shit! From pissed off to jubilant in a heartbeat! Great win snatched from the jaws of defeat.

Hey now, if you’re going to be all reasonable and whatnot, I don’t know if you are going to fit in around here.

I don’t mean to be insulting towards the man, but what is the point of Jake Lamb on this team at this point?

My dad was a Cubs fan, and so was I, as a young lad who’d yet to discover the joys of Channel 44 after 7pm. Do what you will, but I enjoyed having a small rivalry with my old man, in regards to our ball clubs of choice. I also give him a ton of credit for taking me to both ballparks as I was growing up. Cheers to you and your kids. Having them as baseball fans is probably the most important thing.

You mean after adding a second baseman on pace to hit 30 homers this year?

I mean, if a feller named goober is agin’ it, i’s fer it!

Love it!

The Kimbrel/Hendricks situation in the off-season is interesting. Considering both perform the rest of the way, you could dangle both and see which you can get a better return for.

I hate Craig Kimbrel and his idiotic pose before pitching, but I love this deal. We gave up nothing (having already acquired a second baseman for next year) and got a solid (lights out when he’s right) bullpen arm. We have significantly increased our chances for a WS this year and next. Beyond that, we’ll figure out how to replace our #9 hitter.

Dear god, yes.

Tepera for Bailey Horn

Sunny, in the 90s with heat indices in the 100s, may as well put your most expendable lineup out there. Someone may croak.

Have fun being a Guardian, Pilkington.

Bah. He’s no Drake LaRoche.

All the pants pissing around here about “doing nothing” is comical.

Prepare the Soxtalk meltdown!

Can someone explain Kopech swinging a bat when he’s then replaced in the bottom half of the inning?

Not Steve Cishek smokes a lot of weed.

So you’re “enjoying the ride” by…not enjoying the ride?

We shit the bed in Game 1 vs Houston when they came to town, and then curb stomped them the final two. Let’s hope for a repeat of that.
