Belly fat, aka FUPA, aina?

I have so many questions.

As I reported on @ESPN1000
just now... the shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during a #WhiteSox game was indeed an accidental discharge by one of the women "grazed" by the bullet.  She reportedly snuck the gun in past metal detectors hiding it in the folds of her belly fat.

Glad your old lady is okay, kin.

She's better than OK. I don't even need pharmaceutical help.

Angels dear lord. What a dumpster fire

Some really good options for playoff teams to just add for basically free.

Priority goes to weaker records. Twins better at least put in for Grichuk and Moore.

They gave up two of their top 10 prospects, including a top 100 overall, for a combined 43 innings of Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. Ouch.
I don't understand why they wouldn't hang onto Giolito, give him a QO and then get some draft pick compensation when presumably he signs a multiyear deal elsewhere. Do they think Giolito is going to take a one-year deal?

I had to check multiple times to make sure that Passan tweet was real about the Angels.

Yeah thats insane about Giolito. Not sure why they wouldnt go for QO as well. All this is is a month salary dump cant be worth dropping him.

Moore and Lopez are gonna get claimed so fast. Id love the Twins to get either of them but there are about 4 NL teams still alive that I think will take both. Grichuk I think good chance he passes through the bottom wave. Id like him too.

Just wild that its basically Xmas in August for virtually free for all fringe contenders

The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole

I've seen some teams go all in on a questionable run, put up a fighting chance, only to fall short. But I don't think I've seen a team just fall apart completely almost immediately after making that decision.

Someone will claim Clevinger.

PGsHeroes32

ahhh just read that Gio cant get a QO since he was a deadline trade.

I never keep up with those types of rules. Makes it clear why they dumped him then.

Bader and Clevinger both forsure get picked up quick. Bader plays CF and destroys lefties. Just dont ever play him vs a righty.

The Angels real motivation is that if all players get claimed, they could sneak under the luxury tax threshold and reset their repeater penalties.

I think baseball is gonna have to tweak the way waivers works at the end of the year. Maybe move the deadline for players to be playoff eligible closer the deadline? Every one of these guys is a useful piece for a playoff team.

How the f*#k can you get "grazed" when you're sporting what would have to amount to a full layer of body armor.

I'm honestly trying to figure out whos worse... Ross or Counsel? God that was a badly managed game of baseball.

Holy hell all time

Counsell is maybe the best manager in the MLB.

Care to expand on that? 

As a Cubs fan I have no problem saying Counsell is one of the best in the game and I hope he's managing elsewhere this season. 

Ross has improved but still has work to do.  Didn't love the bunt in the 8thbut it worked out. 

Didn't feel like there were many terrible decisions in today's game but lack of execution by players on both sides.

Hes undoubtedly top 5. And I think someone would have a very hard argument to say he isnt top 3.

Yeah I was probably overrating him a bit saying the best.  Cash, Francona, Bouchy, and Snitker are probably in the top 5 with Counsell.

I didnt hate your statement at all. My only guarantee would be top 5 but hes def in consideration for top 3 if not 1.

If we are talking strictly right now and nothing to do with track record I actually put him ahead of Francona forsure. Terry is aging out of the game a little bit(still not bad) and I know Guardians fans are really annoyed with him, not that they are most objective.

Another manager I think can start to be considered is Hyde with Baltimore. The last two years and how quickly it all came together is quite the feat.

Sigh.

No surprise though. This is a very Reinsdorf-y move.

Find incompetence and then reward it. And now they are stuck with Getz until Reinsdorf dies or sells.
