Tuesday, August 23: White Sox come to town

[Hallas]

Do you think shifting against Mullins with a runner on 2nd is the right move?  He can bunt to get on, and if he hits a hard bunt it might score Mateo.

Mateo!   I am wondering if Mateo is going to be a nugget like Showalter used to say.

Mateo passed nugget status months ago. The offense he is giving us now is gravy.

Haha, yeah. Brown needs to take note because that scene IS funny.

I really enjoy the “Baseball Zen” clips they show on the MLB app for commercial breaks.

Dave Johnson does not sound confident in this new pitcher.

Yeah, no shot.  It's about 350 or 360 to that part of the green monster.  That ball hit off the top of a 13 foot wall 390 feet away.  That ball lands clear on Landsdowne street in Boston.

Dubbed the “Little Green Monster” this wall sits at 19 feet tall or about half the size of its Boston papa, but it also sits almost 60 feet further back. So you not only have to hit the ball 370 feet, but it also has to clear a 19-foot wall which really limits line drive home runs.Jun 1, 2019

Yeah, I thought they were weird at first, but they've grown on me

I couldn't figure that out either.  Maybe he saw something he didn't like

Yeah, he saw Baker throw 99 mph with a filthy slider.

Let’s not screw around with the 8-9 hitters please

Mateo keeps playing like this and he's going to be in an all star game. (I said it.)

He deserves it. Top 3 AL SS by fWAR, behind Bogaerts and Seager, ahead of Bichette and and Correa.

Brown tries too hard sometimes like he's trying to prove to you that he's a funny guy.

Gotta sift through more to find some of those nuggets.

 

Man-- this makes me miss Buck.

1+ innings for The Mountain tonight?

Verlander working on no hitter.  He doesn’t seem to be aging at all.  One thing that I learned if you marry a super model you can play a sport forever at the highest level.  Brady married to Giselle still looks in prime.  Verlander married to Kate Upton and as good as he ever been.  We need to find Adley and GRod a super model to marry.  Lol
