kimbrell blows another game in  the 9th that scumbag.  Fortunately the Yanks lost also but the RedSox have now invited themselves to the party

Semi optimistic, at least they didn't give up a top  prospect

Elfin is decent and makes sense.  Not a world beater and can’t get Soto out.  The Dominguez/Hays trade was a coup for both teams.  Each profiles better in the park/situation they are entering.  An old fashion trade.   Maybe they face each other at a pivotal moment in game 7.  Would be fun.

Is it me or is the trade deadline becoming less and less relevant as the years go by?

 

A few factors imo: expanded playoff field results in less teams that give up on their season. Long term constracts lessen the pool of high-end players in their walk year.

The White Sox are currently on a 21-game losing streak. They have a 27-88 record. The ML record for most consecutive losses is held by the 1889 Louisville Colonels who lost 26 in a row and finished their season 27-111. The NL record for most losses is held by the 1961 Phillies with 23 straight losses. The last team to lose 21 in a row was the 1988 Orioles.

Hope this stands come Sept.22. Think ‘O’s got the tie breaker. Be even better were it the last regular season series. 
 

On a side note, Chapman threw 104.7 and 105.1 tonight. I didn’t see it. 😝

 

Also, tonight I had a Tiger flashback watching the portly lefty Skubal……Mickey Lolich, him I saw.

I saw one pitch on twitter that said 104, I think that radar was off.

... Mickey Lolich 1968 WS against the Cardinals stole the show from Denny McClain 31 game winner.  I was 8 years old lol

And then McClain bashed Lolich and stole…..everything? 

 

If you haven’t heard of this site check it out. https://sabr.org/  Player bios in brief. McClain’s is quite a read.

I saw a signed baseball by him on Antiques Roadshow valued at a ridiculous price

The one that was also signed by the 3 ***** League players? Oops! Actually that ball is in the ***** Baseball HOF.

 

Read Cobbs bio, then think about that ball he signed with them after he saw the wrongs of his ways. Thought I read or heard Reggie Jackson wasn’t for forgiving Cobb. I think he was right.

I thought the Evil Empire was the Pats or at least the FORMER Evil Empire.
