Sheets sucks. If we had an actually good platoon corner guy that would be awesome.

For me one turns to turn into six, and although I'm not opposed it tends to mess with my work a bit too much when I stack 'em up. I'm firmly in middle age now, I wish I had my 25 year old body and mind, at least when it comes to the booze. Good start Sox. And I'm def going to be indulging tonight, might hit the bar after the game with some buds.

@South Side Hit Menpost that tik tok account again and you're gonna catch a block. Two Hearted going on the floor like that is a crime against humanity. On that note, I just poured myself my first beer of the week. For me, that's a miracle. Looking forward to this game. GO SOX.

On 93 pitches, despite striking out 11.

he who laughs last, laughs best?

Bro, by this logic the Sox should move.

I kinda want to do an old school deep dive into this now based on the publicly available batted ball data. Try and do it tmr at work to kill some time on a Friday. It certainly feels like pitchers have attacked him with fastballs on his hands to get ahead and buried him with junk away and fastballs up in late counts. I'd also like to look at his stat cast data for speed. Tim is a guy that relies on BABIP and quick hips. When your body ages hips are gonna slow and speed as well, hurting BABIP. Good post good thoughts.

Well, they are back to 11 under and around 4 back. Think this is the like the 4th time they've approached this "turning point" in the last six weeks only for the "turning point" to turn into a U Turn. Keep winning series and get it to 5 under and a game or two back by the ASB and at least give even the most cynical fans a couple weeks to dream on.

Hell, if that's what it takes to get him motivated, how about putting this spread next to his stall in the clubhouse for every QS made?

He took Jose's mild indignation at occasionally having to hit with a runner in motion way too seriously...

He also leads our team in not making outs per plate appearance. Funny how those two things are aligned.

Chicago: won't sign any starting pitcher to a long term deal. Also Chicago: consistently manages to pay below replacement veteran starters.

You can IL for mental health as well. Clearly he's not in a good spot, he's hurting the team trying to play through whatever it is.

Burger is down to a 113 wRC+ and over the last 30 days is hitting 182 and rocking a 234 OBP and a 600 OPS. Frankly, it looks like he was a flash in the pan and has been figured out. Nice story, but a hot 4 weeks doesn't make a season or career. On this sad sad team he stood out for a minute but now he's hitting like a poor man's rob deere.

just saw the 444 ft bomb, what a laughable call from Jason. "In the air, center field..."

You're talking about winning two in a row like it would mean anything. I'm not trying to yuck your yum but dude the season is over. All that's left to figure out is how many games they will lose, 90, 95, or 100.

Stop caring, season changes soon enough.

this ballgame (season) is ovah!

Nothing creates a bigger contrast in sports than a bad baseball team over 162 games and a forum that relies on 24/7 posts.

I have fairly big hands for a short guy, can palm a basketball and never had any problem slinging a baseball 80 mph from the OF into home in my athletic prime, but imagine doing this and having it called a "drop": Dude was literally dropping the ball like you or I would drop a ping pong ball and was penalized. Calvin was also a talented HS baseball player, and would have went in the top 5 round of the draft had he come out. There is video of him hitting easy wood bat HR at Comerica during batting practice when he was with the Lions. An incredible athlete. He's up there for me with Woodson, Frank and a few others as the best I have ever seen in person.

Ohtani is the closest thing I've seen to a transcendent athlete in MLB. It's like if Calvin Johnson decided to stick with baseball after HS. Robert is nice, but he can't sniff that.

You really sold him bro.
