Eh, after those dirty slides this year I don't feel bad at all for him. He took the most money, he knew their whole deal/culture there and made his own bed and had been a dirtbag to some of our guys so far this season. Was there more than one? If so, I'm forgetting. The one at the beginning of the year didn't bother me much. And its going to take a hell of a lot more than that, for me to forget how great Dex was for us. He'll be one of my favorite Cub players forever. Dex's demeanor should be emulated throughout the league. I'd take him back in a heartbeat and forgive his silly transgression.
Good article in The Athletic, really sums up the lineup dilemma well https://theathletic.com/63038/2017/05/26/sheehan-joe-maddon-is-optimizing-the-leadoff-spot-but-at-what-cost/ I do not agree that Kyle should take a demotion to Iowa. However, I also don't really agree with those who say he would have nothing to gain there. But as it is, I do agree that, if he continues to struggle, he probably should be dropped even further in the lineup. I want Bryzzo and Zo to get the lion's share of the PA. I don't have a problem with giving this more time to work itself out, though. Thoughts?
Red Sox pitchers struck out 20 Rangers today. 4 hitters Kd 3+ times. Gallo was oddly not among them. And the Dodgers just jocked us with their own 4 inning save. The pens will be ready to go in the upcoming series.
Not really avoiding with 4 hits in those two innings, no? Martinez is 2-2 too Tseng with a quality outing so far - 4 IP, 5 Ks, 1 BB, 2 Hs...50 IP, 40 Ks, 8 BBs, 4 HRs, 4 Hs this season. All hands on deck for trade season! It was tongue in cheek
a lot of them have multiple songs, most notoriously rizzo and yes, "benny and the jules" somehow makes me long for his old terrible dance song by his wife, "alive" They do but Heyward adds new ones most often. That latest song is just starting to hit now.
