harkness99 Posted June 1, 2024 Share Posted June 1, 2024 MLB needs relegation. That way shyster teams like the white sox can't get away with fielding teams that have zero interest in competing for years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Actually it isn't, I've really stopped paying a lot of attention...just tune in occasionally, check box scores, read the newspapers. It's actually a little refreshing for wont of a better word not to agonize over every game especially in a pennant race. This season was over after three weeks, no pressure now, just relax and laugh at the incompetence. On another note... The is the 8th game this year the Sox had a lead in the 7th inning or later and lost. Brebbia's ERA is now almost eight, another waste of millions of dollars on flotsam and jetsem that passes for a major league player by the Sox organization. Nine in a row now and 15 of 18. ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted June 1, 2024 Share Posted June 1, 2024 Yeah, obviously Pillar isn't going to keep hitting like Mike Trout. But Tommy Pham is probably gonna turn back into Tommy Pham. And so far, one of the two is a good defensive outfielder and can apparently have drastic mid season turnarounds due to coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
