    Ended the inning with runners at 2nd and 3rd. The robots can’t get here fast enough.

    Cubs have scored 99 runs over their last 10 games. If they had a fraction of this offense in May and June they’d still be in the thick of it for the division.

    Correct. If your team didn’t suck for two full months, they’d be in the playoffs

    This is a very dumb and stupid sport and unless BWJ is up to bat no one should ever pay attention to it.

    Fairly certain he'll start getting Judge's goldilocks baseballs soon, if not already, especially after that check swing HR the other night

    The White Sox need to go 12-11 the rest of the way to avoid 120 losses.

    They need to go 7-16 the rest of the way to avoid the worst win% since 1900 (current worst is .235). They currently have a win% of .223.

    They have won 7 games since the start of July. They have won 12 games since June 14.

    I feel bad posting about how bad they are at this point. But it's insane. They're on a pace where the only teams on their level historically are from the 1800s.

    If they just keep playing this bad, they could have a win% around .200. Their current win% is more than 40 points lower than the Tigers in 03 when they went 43-119. Granted, that Tigers team was on a similar pace and then won 5 of their last 6 games of the season to avoid 120 Ls.

    There's a pretty good possibility that 12 of their last 15 are teams that will be against eliminated teams so that sort of run is possible still

    In KC’s defense they were right at .500 but have lost 6 straight vs winning teams since Vinnie/Erceg decided to get hurt on the same play. In fact, highly likely they don’t win again the rest of the year.

    KC is definitely the least gross of that group. Boston doesn’t deserve a WC spot. Twins seem quite fraudulent getting fat on CWS

    Rangers should’ve fired their hitting coach 4 months ago

    they’re 50-20 when scoring at least 4 runs

    They’re 65-73 overall

    just a pathetic offense after being so good last year

    Eloy knew where to put it because that’s the exact same thing he would have done.

    Except he maybe would be able to find his way to get stuck in the left field net

    I cancelled my season tickets for next year and won’t even considering getting another plan until Reinsdorf is out of the picture. Every time I see our record I die a little on the inside. Just an absolutely unholy disgrace of an organization, go to Nashville already.

    Motherfucker refuses to bring his baseball operations into the 21st century because it costs too much, is going to cut payroll again after this year despite fielding the worst team of all time, cuts every corner imaginable with the stadium operations (see fatass cps teacher being able to sneak a gun through the “security” or the 2-3 inning long wait times at concessions when the stadium is actually full because they’re short-staffed), and wouldn’t fire one of the worst managers to ever live because he didn’t want to pay his buyout (among many other grievances). Meanwhile, he simultaneously has no problem asking for a handout from the state so he can build another shitty stadium that will undoubtedly end up being a horrible deal for everyone but himself. Fuck Jerry Reinsdorf. /rant

    0-7 since they poached the Pasquatch. Will probably catch the White Sox soon.
