I don't think they need to be blown up. I think they need a new GM and a new hitting coach. Although what does a hitting coach do besides tell them to bend their knees. (sarcasm) If he were one really tuned into the tech, he'd be telling them to assess what pitchers are doing to get them out. He'd be working with Tork on swinging more aggressively earlier in the count. They seem like they have been going from chaotic episode to chaotic episode this season. Maybe that's AJ's fault but I think the fan base is ready to give AJ a pass because of last season for a little longer. The current owner and GM on the other hand: not so much

Focus on the latter.

The question is if Jake Rogers is that #1

I don’t think we got our money’s worth with Barnhart

we get one? I would have thought the Yankees should have all of them: forever.

sheesh

Dan Quayle of all people could get him to show up.

I concur

I was reading too fast but I at first thought this said that in the first round, the division winner plays the LLWS winner. It would make for quite a spectacle. Get on that Rob Manfred. And be sure to get the bookies and touts to fix the games so the kids have a chance.

The Athletic hit on Al Avila being written by Ken Rosenthal was 1000% done so that junior guy Cody Stavenhagen didn't lose his access.

My colleague was watching that and the Russians he overheard were like "welp, I guess we should break out the clear liquids because our day is over"

The crank UK press has some insane report of a poll in which 8 in 10 UK citizens would take Vladdie up on his offer of free land in Russia and move to Russia. Ok, then... lets see them do that.

My emotional Tigeranon hypothesis: The Union was angry at the Tigers playing around with Riley Greene service time and they sandbagged to protest. Absolutely absurd of course.

Umpires hate Grossman apparently

and tied

well done Javy and Miggy with the unprecedented 1st inning run scoring on the road. I hear that has almost never been done before.

I'll bet Boston has a 4K broadcast for this game and Hacky regional sports net owned by a gambling company won't be providing that quality of broadcast.

Texas GOP: There is the door if you want to vote to leave the US. We'll be coming for NASA, Fort Hood, Fort Bliss, all the Navy and Air Force bases, all the federal contracts for the defense industries. Good luck being Mexico with more white people.

This is what is going to happen Trump and company will blame this guy and try to dodge blame.

Crap ab by Candelarish

Sorry, that was me watching the luscious, wondrous 4k broadcast for a fanbase that actually gives a crap. The yo-ho announcers were excessively drinking Guinness and fist fighting and talking about their mothers and their cousin Petey the cawp. But when they weren't doing that, they were dissing Baez swinging at the first two sliders of that AB.

Boston mocks Baez

Boston broadcast in 4k…what the fuck are we even doing with this degenerate Vic Tandy/Golds Gym bullshit?

Only scoring 1 or fewer is our favorite thing. I hope we break that pattern of despair tonight.
