  1. First run off of him since July 4th, according to Jason. A 2 out, 2 run homer to Javy....very good to see but really kinda unbelievable.
  2. A combined 1 hitter. We're 5-1 against a team that's fighting for their playoff lives. Amazing...
  3. Late game victories are so much fun. Bring on those damn Yankees...
  4. When I was watching him today, he looked like he has pinpoint control.
  5. Lol..Hinch isn't going anywhere. He was extended last off-season to a super-duper secret extension. 😁
  6. Can you imagine if Carpenter would have been healthy in June and July? We may have been buyers...
  7. Agreed. Seattle was playing a depth that would have allowed them a play at the plate on a line drive single. With that being said, the ball Baddoo hit wasn't a routine fly ball. It was smoked over the CF head.
  8. Holton was the best pickup Harris made.
  9. I don't know. Use Dingler as your starter and bring in an inexpensive backup. I could see that happening if Jake may win a salary hearing. IDK.
  10. Who saw the Tigers struggle to score runs after 15 runs last night? Uhhh...just about everyone.
  11. Sammons came outta nowhere. Kinda surprises me. Oops...a run.
  12. I don't know. Is Harris willing to take a chance on Mize winning an arbitration hearing? How about Jake? His offense is pretty poor. And with Dingler up here now, you just never know.
  13. But arbitration years are iffy. If guys don't produce or if they get hurt, Harris may not offer them qualifying offers. Candelario, Turnbull and Boyd are all examples. There may be more?
  14. Well, we got lucky with Perez producing for Carpenter. But the Riley Greene injury along with the Tork and Meadows ineffectivness weren't as easily replaced. They weren't injury losses but they still effected (affected?) our win total. And I really will repeat, IMO, we can't compete with our All Star left fielder missing 50+ games per season. If every position player were hurt that often, would fans expect enough depth to cover for them? And will Harris offer arbitration when he's eligible, with his injury history? He may just move on from him, trade him away?
  15. So we need an All Star outfielder to replace our All Star outfielder 50 or 60 games a season? Make it make sense...
  16. It's official...poor guy...
  17. Biden beat Trump by what? 7 million? 8 million? votes? And the Orange Cheeto still organized a coup. I don’t think there's any number of votes he can lose by that he'll accept. The only difference is he's not in office now so if he tries that crap now, arrest his sorry ass.
  18. See...I don't agree about players missing months per season because of injury as "normal." Carpenter has been out since May. Riley just made it thru 100 games for the 1st time. We can't have players, who we count on, missing this much time if we hope to compete. Yes, depth would be nice but how many quality players will sign with a team to sit on the bench in case of injury? And how many quality players is it possible to stash in the minors? I said before the season that Riley had to stay healthy for a few years to shake the injury prone label. He made it 100 games...
  19. Yeah, that's how my memory works too. Champ did PH a lot, always seemed to come up with a big hit.
  20. Depth is very hard. No player wants to sit on the bench or be in the minors waiting for an injury. And it's the amount and length of injuries that are concerning. Riley's one goal this season was to stay healthy. He failed.
  21. The main players have to stay healthy. If not, no matter how well they play, it may be time to move on. We can't have guys missing 2 or 3 months every season.
  22. The WSox are 62 games under .500. They've been outscored by 241 runs. Holy cow!! Their rebuild is going slow...lol
  23. They both played 1st base at times but I always remember Champ as a rightfielder. Hazy 40+ year memories though.
  24. Any pitcher that doesn't throw him sweeping breaking balls is making a mistake.
  25. Watch...Hinch will sit Urshela, Rogers and Carpenter tomorrow. Guarantee it.
