There's pretty much nothing Leury can do to change my mind that he's trash, but he's slightly less trash than Cesar at this point so I have no issues with him playing. The issue is more with the front office putting us in a position where he is forced to play in a playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 7 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Please, explain to us how the PR arm of the organization said it. That must be true! I never have claimed to have insider access on this board, because who gives a shit and because I don't? But if you want to be some guy spreading baseball ownership PR pieces I'm going to correct you based on information I actually DO have. Kris Bryant hates the Cubs leadership and organization with a passion. The Cubs leaked rumors about trading him for over a year; he hated it. He would ask if they were true and be told nothing to worry about Kris. The Cubs didn't give a shit about Kris Bryant. Please stop spreading propagandist bullshit. Now onto the game today. That's all I've got to say about this topic. Go Sox. I believe and I am sure you will refute this, the cubs may have taken a lesser offer for Bryant then spun any offer from the Sox for Kimbrel because the PR on Bryant going to the Sox would have been rough. Every guy they traded seemed to end up where they wanted especially Baez. Kimbrel was never a cub in any regard to the fandom so there was no risk in having him or Tapera ending up on the wrong end of a trade like they could see with Jimenez and Cease. Kimbrel can save every playoff game and it would not move the cub PR needle, Bryant with a big game certainly can. You can disagree with my opinion as you certainly do but that is how it plays out logically to me as to why Engel is in right and not Bryant. Kimbrel was a consolation prize for that trade package and it seems to be beneficial to Kimbrel so it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he was a well above average baseball player the last couple months? That may be a valid reason. Also, if you forgot, our 2nd basemen got hurt and then traded for pennies on the dollar for a dude that might throw 1 inning this playoffs? Another reason.

joejoesox Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 you will know if Vaughn is having good at bats after the first 3 pitches he sees. when he's going good he's swinging at fastballs, when he's going bad he's swinging at sliders in 2 strike counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt they go 83s. Give me the full home whites. If they’re trying to recreate the blackout game, go all the way with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipWellsFan Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 27 minutes ago, ShoeLessRob said: Isn’t that most of this team? It's most of the league. It is hard to lay off good sliders on two strike counts. If it was easy everyone would hit .350. Almost by definition, a good slider starts out looking like a fastball that's a strike. It's everything between that allows you to succeed as a hitter including taking advantage when you do get a good fastball to hit, taking sliders that aren't quite good enough to fool you, and hammering sliders when they hang over the plate. If a pitcher is throwing perfect sliders, and getting strike calls an inch or two off the plate (like last night) it will always be exceptionally difficult for the hitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwill Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 1 hour ago, mmmmmbeeer said: The version of McCullers we saw yesterday is easily a top 10 pitcher in baseball. He was nasty and had incredible control of his breaking stuff. He wasn't making mistakes in the zone, at all. It was an incredibly dominant performance that would have shutdown his own team if he had been somehow facing them. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap. As soon as he was out of the game, the Sox bats looked much better. On the flipside of that, the moment Lynn left the game, the Astros looked considerably less comfortable in the box. This dude is 100% correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can do it. You've been pissing on game threads with nonsense for years. lets relax on throwing those rocks from inside your glass house. We're rooting for the same side today, although sometimes I wonder if you actually like the Sox or just like whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
