People can buy what they want. What I don't like is when the merch tail wags the on-field dog, since that (strictly in my opinion) has had negative aesthetic consequences. The "you" in the second part of what I said is the teams, not the consumer (apologies if that was unclear). If a team's fans prefer the jersey that has nothing to do with the rest of the team's visual program, then that is an indictment on the team's primary logos, uniforms, etc.

Yeah, I highly doubt they will push Wells and Gibson to get to Grayson on Friday. And Roster Resource is a great resource but I am sure that Grayson-Wells-Gibson this weekend is an educated guess.

Thirded This 100%. The whole thing is a gimmick to move merch. If a team wants to be progressive and introduce a wacky alternate, that's fine, but I hate that Nike and the league have forced every team to do this from the top down. As an aside, embracing your City Connect look reeks of low self-esteem. If your fans prefer the Nike merch-dump alternate composed of non-team colors to your normal look (looking at you, Washington and Miami), you are doing something seriously wrong.

On the Chicago broadcast before the game they estimated that fly balls to right would get an extra 17 feet of distance due to wind. The impact of the wind is backed up by the .190 xBA. Looks like we can't view "number of parks" on Baseball Savant until tomorrow? Regardless, it was a really bad break for that to get out with two guys on. On another day that is a warning track fly ball for an out.

Welp, maybe we will win tomorrow

Feels like a game they will find a way to lose

White sox seem like a mess

Tony!

That was a very Gunnar Henderson PA

If it didn't work everyone would be mad about bringing him into a high leverage spot

Thank gosh. Bout time the O's benefit from a close replay

This man!

I don't quite understand the hype on Volpe. He slashed .249/.342/.460 across double- and triple-A (mostly the former) last year. I'm sure he's a great prospect but those numbers don't scream MLB-ready top 10 prospect to me.

Thank God

At least Felix seems to have overcome his early season issues

Not very deep, probably wouldn't have sent with 0 out

I know hindsight is 20/20 but with Adley on deck and Laureano in right that was a stupid send

Carlos "Joe Mauer" Perez

Runner in scoring position with 2 out is the time to do it, result notwithstanding

Ben and Kevin sound completely defeated

Haha, KB has finally cracked

Every 2B/SS should always wind up to throw when receiving the ball at second, even if there is no play anywhere else. Even if you never really control it you get the benefit of the doubt.

Looks like O'Hearn wants an offspeed pitch

The A's must be really good, based on all the runs they are scoring!

Yooo, what a lovely day!
