Conforto

I'd argue the lack of DH actually makes this decision easier in the NL since the manager has a built in excuse to pull the starter, no such luck in the AL, they often need to go by gut, the lineup card doesn't make the decision for you.

I have a good feeling about today.

I know, I'm just accustomed to glancing at the game thread in the morning to remind me when they're playing, not a big thing obviously!

No start time in the title ?

I'm a little excited for this one. Don't let me down, White Sox!

There's no such thing as starting a game thread too early and plenty have been started before the previous was closed, I've personally closed quite a few that were still open when the next was created, if the Sox lose it's because SSHM is bad luck for other reasons.

They're not written anywhere, you're just supposed to instinctively know the rules and you'll be thoroughly roasted when you break them, justifiably so, it's pretty fucked up not just automatically getting it. It is surprising how infrequently this happens, I think people are gun-shy about making them.

Game thread starting becomes fair game once lineups are announced, anyone can just create it. Though today's game thread should have been created like midday yesterday.

I’m away from my pc until later tonight so Luis is going to remain faded for a bit, my sincerest apologies to him.

Love seeing Eloy in the for a 3rd straight day. Vaughn in right, Leury in left, trying out Vaughn in right some more tonight.

I'm good with this

It is funny how you can have 13 pages of decently nuanced discussion (mostly @chw42 kicking ass) that arrives at an approximation of a board consensus that this is a solid if unspectacular move that will help the team then someone will waltz in and post "Horrible fucking trade, this guy sucks shit" and it feels just a little bit deflating.

ah, that's what I thought, wasn't sure if you were referring specifically to something I've said, now it's clear

I don't get the context

He's pretty good at it, the Abreu shit is just annoying at this point but some of the rest is funny.

I usually find my way out by game time, I very publicly enjoy the pre-game discourse, at least those that post in earnest.
