I know, what a steal

Heuer is nasty

I could see that. There’s really no other explanation to be honest.

That team is dead man walking. It’s remarkable how bad their offense is now when it’s basically the same core that they won a World Series with and all those guys should be in their primes as hitters.

Cubs down 6-1. With their offense this year, that’s an insurmountable deficit to overcome.

It’s a shame all the haters turned off he game after the second inning, they just missed another Eaton blast. What a great signing that’s been so far.

Not trying to be a dick but you should just turn it off if watching upsets you this much. You’ll feel better (maybe)

Fans throwing in the towel for the season part way through game 10 lol

I know negativity is your thing but why do you invest so much time in something that causes you so much frustration?

What makes you think they won’t?

My takeaway...despite a few injuries and underperformance from several individuals, this team is going to be really good if they stay relatively healthy. Consider the following MLB ranks and understand, if they sustain this all season, wins will most certainly follow (alot of them); Offense - 5th in FWAR and wRC+ Pitching - 7th in fWAR and xFIP, 5th in FIP Run differential - 5th Truth is the advanced metrics tell the story of a 6-2 or 5-3 team, not 4-4. However, SSS and close late inning blown leads have resulted in a 4-4 record. Those things will even out over 162.

Might as well just put them out of their misery and close up shop now since no one cares about baseball anymore. Surprising a multi-billionaire like Cohen would invest an enormous amount of money in an irrelevant, dying sport.

^exactly why MLB won’t experience a significant decline in interest if a player like Tatis Jr isn’t on the field. Because there really isn’t one player in the MLB that has that type of impact, unlike say the NBA or NFL.

Why does he have to be any of those guys? Yes, Tatis Jr is an exciting young player but he’s far from a household name at this point in his career and MLB will be fine without him. Admittedly, I would find some enjoyment in the irony of a situation where he becomes a financial burden to the Padres if he can’t stay on the field. I never root for injuries but I’d feel much worse for Tatis Jr if he wasn’t just guaranteed $340M.

No offense, but the Tatis comparison to Mahomes is terrible. There are many casual baseball fans that don’t even know who Tatis is, especially if they follow an AL team. Every football fan knows Mahomes and many non-football fans have heard of him too.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if the Tatis acquisition does more long term harm than good to the Padres organization? Meaning they just handed this dude $340M and he becomes a major financial burden moving forward because he can’t stay on the field? Can’t say I’d feel sorry for them either.

They haven’t even played their best baseball yet and have the third highest run differential in the AL. While fans focused on the negatives over the first week, it’s apparent to me that this is the most talented White Sox team since the 90s.

Can I please get an update on these numbers?

Best 1/2 combo since Sale and Q but that rotation was largely crap after those two. This staff is deep (if they stay healthy) and still has two young live arms lurking in the pen if needed to start games late in the season.

I’m confused. We’ve scored 6 runs in less than 6 innings and the Royals haven’t pitched a lefty yet. This is weird.

Fully rested pen with Cease on the bump Saturday and offense facing a LHP. I like this setup!

I haven’t been this excited about a Sox starting rotation since 2005. And just imagine, Kopech and Crochet aren’t even in it yet

Lynn is making this much esteemed Royals offense look silly

100% agree. Changed the entire look of the rotation. That combined with a newly motivated Rodon.

Lol, is that good?
