Ruiz is quietly elite. Not a loud athlete and he doesn’t have loud tools but he has an amazing eye at the plate and amazing OBP skills and he doesn’t strike out.

I never said Dahl was a white nationalist/men’s rights supporter. I said he used the same excuse (or some variation of that) that those people use you press them and ask them to defend their actions. If you can’t see the obvious racist and homophobic tones of the Disco Sucks movement and Disco Demolition Night, thats on you. I’m going to take a shot in the dark and assume you’re white and if that’s the case, I don’t want to hear you or any other white person tell me whether something is racist (or homophobic) or not. I just had a non white person tell me that it’s okay for non blacks to use the n word as an term of endearment. That’s something you and them don’t get to decide. And pleas don’t bring up Dahl’s intent, intent doesn’t always matter, what matters is the result and that movement and night is nothing to celebrate.

Happ and Nova have near identical FIPs of 5.18 and 5.19

Wait you’re saying that there’s nothing racist about a group of white people banding together to celebration the destruction of work by black, Hispanic and queer artist? What? People coming together to destroy art and culture, is literally a sign of oppression I know Dahl has defended himself from being called a racist and a homophobe but as Vice put it, he’s using the same defense as many alt-right/white nationalist and men’s right supporters. “We were just letting off a little steam. We were just having fun.” Here’s an section from that Vice article: Vince Lawrence, a then-teenaged usher at the event told NPR he was uncomfortable being one of the only Black people at the stadium, and remembered that fans were just bringing LPs by black artists: “[There were] Tyrone Davis records, friggin' Curtis Mayfield records and Otis Clay records. Records that were clearly not disco.” All those artists are black artists. Whatever the the intent, this was obviously not just about disco but also about simmering racial resentment. What planet do you live on?

Let’s see how high the Sox are after the end of this month. Schedule is about to get brutal starting tonight.

Disco Demolition isn’t something to celebrate, especially in a diverse city like Chicago during Pride Month of all months. Disco Demolition was a fearful response to the growing popularity of artist who were either black, hispanic, gay or female. That’s nothing to proud of. It’s rather shameful.

Guys on the team I would trade: Garcia, Yolmer and Colome. I wouldn’t trade McCann, seeing the work he’s done with Giolito, I want to see him work with Cease and Kopech.

How about Jose Urena?

Ricky’s lineup cost the Sox a run there

Renteria is killing the team with these lineups. Anderson, Moncada and Abreu need to bat 1/2/3 everyday.

They should cut ties with Alonso when Jay joins the ML team.

I wouldn’t say the Sox have gone cheap on the rebuild but I would say that they haven’t used their financial flexibility to their advantage. They could’ve taken on some bad, expiring contracts for some more top prospects.

Syndergaard comes to mind immediately

I also should've mentioned that the Cubs have a really weak farm and that Kimbrel was the only chance they had at improving their bullpen in a meaningful way,

We have to keep in mind that Kimbrel is coming off of a down year and has been used heavily.

Pache is #1 and Anderson is #3

Where is Ian Anderson rated higher than Pache?

If Zobrist doesn’t file for divorce and takes a personal leave, the Cubs don’t sign Kimbrel. He did them a favor.

Cool but I think that’s a little rich. The Braves are deep on pitching and I think Anderson, while highly rated and a very good prospect, is extendable for Atlanta

From the Braves, I would like to see Ian Anderson coming back to the Sox.

What’s wrong with Jace Fry? Why can’t this team take walks? Why can’t this team win on the road? Why can’t Ricky get his team to play decent defense?

The Mariners draft is terrible. What are they doing? I find it unlikely the top player on the board at their picks have all been pitchers.

I like College: RP Zach Less (LSU), SP Ryan Pepiot (Butler), P Erik Miller (Stanford), SP/RP Graeme Stinson (Duke) and RP Matt Cronin (Arkansas) Prep: OF Chris Newell, CF Dasan Brown, SS Connor Walsh, SP Jack Kochanowicz

In the third round I want: College: RP Zach Less (LSU), SP Ryan Pepiot (Butler), P Erik Miller (Stanford), SP/RP Graeme Stinson (Duke) and RP Matt Cronin (Arkansas) Prep: OF Chris Newell, CF Dasan Brown, SS Connor Walsh, SP Jack Kochanowicz I don’t think Hampton is a serious possibility, unless the Sox saved massive cash with Vaughn.

Didn’t the Sox want Adell in that draft?
