Blackout Friday

I’m in Cuba right now so I’m trying to delay my disappointment until I’m home. But I had made plans to take the lady to Chicago this summer for a weekend, and those plans won’t be happening anymore. Going to go somewhere less depressing.

It’s kind of impressive that I’ve lost interest in the season and it’s not even March yet. Usually it takes all the way to June for that to happen. Progress!

Acuna or soto

I might need a break. I’ll still be a Sox fan because I’m a fucking idiot, but this is too much. The only thing this franchise seems capable of is disappointing the few fans stupid enough to stick by them.

Haha, yeah. He’s from rural Ontario, same as the show takes place.

The expression doesn’t refer to women. It just basically means let’s get going, hurry up, etc.

Great show. My dad always used that expression growing up also. Appropriate given the circumstances.

Pitter patter, lets get at ‘er

Is Lozano bound by the same rules? He isn’t a union member or employed by mlb. Legit question, I don’t know the answer.

I’m about to board a 6 hour flight, so naturally Manny will sign somewhere in the next 6 hours. You’re welcome.

I’m interested in seeing how Lambert does and last year’s notable picks. Hopefully Robert can stay healthy.

Kenny was probably busy playing for the Tigers at the time.

Both booties have #7 on them. Manny is just trolling TA. He’s taking his number and his position.

He’s never walked much in the minors, but he hits for a high average. I think an OBP in the mid .300’s is a fair expectation. About the same as Manny.

That’s slugging percentage.

You could call this the “Moncada at the plate” of posts.

This thread is a depressed market

Mike Caruso: Future Star

The day is young. They’ll have this shit wrapped up by lunchtime.

I could see it having to do with Joc being property of another organization and Manny not being. But it I also suspect the whole thing is bullshit. Hope not, but I’m not holding my breath.

I assumed they just searched for a #WhiteSox hashtag.

So you’re J. Michael Robertson? I don’t see any other explanation.

I said poor on purpose instead of low. It’s below average in terms of rotations, but not so much so that it drops a whole lot. It just lacks life.

Repeating his delivery is more an issue for his command, but it isn’t going to bring back an elite fastball. I think he can be a useful major league pitcher, but people need to forget his old prospect status. He isn’t that guy anymore.

The other poster referenced spin rate before our post. I was going back to that. I know how spin rate and extension work. It isn’t rocket science.
