MLB 2024 Season

[Uncle Rico]

Brewers at 48-33 at the halfway point.  Some fans of the team in shambles

[PGsHeroes32]

He'll gain that level of self respect at about the same time that GMs stop throwing him $700k every year. Those two things often go hand-in-hand.

Can make money like that by not getting shelled pretty easily in retirement as a former player

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Today the Crew treated us to a Grand Slam, and inside the park home run,  and an extra innings walk off by the teams worst hitter.

This team is a ton of fun

[Lennys Tap]

They actually could get better if they DO move players, who would be replaced by, theoretically, younger and hungrier players.

I mean, would they actually get worse?

You think they have minor leaguers better than Crochet, Fedde and Robert? Pass me the crack pipe, bro.

Who?

Who?

Sorry, Mike. Didn't know this was one of those times when you offer an opinion on a subject you don't follow and know nothing about. My bad.

One doesn't have to know a single White Sox player to look at their record and surmise that they probably couldn't do any worse with different players - young guys who might actually give 2 sh!ts.

But that was a decent burn, Tony. For you. So congrats.

[WhiteTrash]

The White Sox are going into the easiest stretch of the season, 3-7 in the next ten games is very doable. Let that sink in.

Garret Crochet was a 1st round draft choice in 2020. He is 6-6, 3.05 ERA, 0.94
WHIP (6th best in the league), 130 Ks (2nd in the league). Eric Fedde was also a 1st round draft choice (2014). He is 5-3, 3.23 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 91 Ks.

Between them the have a 3.15 ERA and 221 Ks in 194 innings. Their combined record is 11-9. The combined record of the rest of the Sox pitchers is 10-52.

Assuming that the Sox could replace these guys with a couple of minor leaguers and not be worse makes zero sense.

Feddie is almost certainly going to regress to the mean.  Maybe he has a good year but he's not a long term piece and is the exact guy you trade now while his value is high.

And getting worse than what they are matters little

The Sox should and will trade Fedde.

They would be insane not to

[PGsHeroes32]

The Tigers have to completely blow it up offensively if they want any chance to compete in the Central in the years to come

The top 3 teams are all mostly set on that side of the diamond for years to come.

[tower912]

It looks like it.   Baez isn't going to come back and start hitting.  Carpenter might, but when?    Torkleson and Meadows were sent to Toledo because they forgot how to hit.   Perez started out hot but has cooled.  Keith is progressing, but slowly.   Dragging Canha and Urshela down.
   Very frustrating to again be sellers and not buyers.

[Hards Alumni]

Happy, Cubs are in last place day!

[Uncle Rico]

Crew wins.  Thank god they kept Pat Murphy and didn't pay Greg Council

[GB Warrior]

If I were the Cubs I'd simply score more runs than my opponent.

[The Sultan]

Brewers scored their only runs by...

-Walk
-Fielder's choice
-Catcher interference
-Weak infield single that the pitcher tried to backhand - maybe an out if he let it go
-Churrio GS on a 1-2 count where he looked awful til he hung a curveball.

Meh. Not #1 in anything.

[Jockey]

If you can't laugh at this, you have no sense of humor.

[MU82]

Well, that was something.

Hard to imagine a more inept inning in the field.

Who, hey?

[Uncle Rico]

Who, hey?

The guy you wanted fired for the last few years
