Lots of hit batters in this White Sox vs Cubs game...

 

Both sides warned

 

Lackey hit 4 guys himself. Jesus. He's the cum stain on what otherwise is a very like-able team.

Source confirms: #Brewers acquiring reliever Anthony Swarzak for outfielder Ryan Cordell. First reported: @JonHeyman and @CSNHayes.

 

That's a good deal. Cordell could stick.

Edwin hit a walk-off grand slam tonight in the 11th.

 

Miss him so much. I often wonder where we'd be at with him still. Probably .500 because the FO way overrated our pitching and did nothing to improve our mediocre staff.

Everyone thought this was a top 5 starting rotation

 

Bullpen and RF seemed to be the biggest problems when the season started

Red Sox have lost 4 in a row, including a devastating 13th inning loss last night

 

Looks good on them

I'm off to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Cincy next week for a guys baseball trip. I was wondering if anyone on here has any recommendations on where to (and where not to) sit at any of those stadiums. Also, if anyone has any recommendations on places to go or places to eat on any of those Cities - that would be the tits.

Zach Britton has allowed 13 hits and 6 earned runs over 9 innings since he was activated

 

He's doing to Baltimore what Estrada has done to us

Has anyone looked at Nunez's numbers? I'm amazed he ever made it to the majors, let alone became serviceable. Look at those minor league numbers - and we know he wasn't a renowned defender in the MI when he came up either.

While I agree that it's a bit surprising how serviceable he became, his minor league numbers really aren't that bad. He was above average as a 22 year old in AA and league average as a 23 year old in AAA with good contact numbers, as a shortstop. While he clearly wasn't fit for the position, those kind of guys usually get a look in the big leagues; moving him off SS seems to have done him a big favour, as he's about an average to slightly below defender in other places around the diamond.

One of the things that pissed me off about Grilli. The guy showed too much emotion in times where it wasn't needed. Like him pumping his fists like a madman after getting the final out in a 10-4 game yesterday? What a f***ing idiot. Even when he was with the Jays it annoyed me like crazy.

Why can't baseball players have fun? I loved Grilli for the same reason you hated him.

In a 10-4 game, you shouldn't be pumping your fists and dancing off a mound like a wild man. If it's a 3-2 game and he gets an important punch out, then I don't have a problem with that. Grilli just went overboard with it which was annoying as f***.

In other news, the Tigers' bullpen gave up 12 runs, nine of those in the same inning. What a total shitshow.

 

I don't own any Tigers relievers in any fantasy leagues, so that is a big sigh of relief haha.

Why you care though? Why does the score matter
