You mean the old “Kelly Leak” defense.

I just typed a question asking if perhaps his future was a DH in the AL and you’ve answered, thank you.

Question from someone who doesn’t know much about baseball from a foreign country: If he’s not great on defense when healthy could his future be as a DH for another team?

At least they stopped talking about Napoli’s sleep apnea.

I’m sick of Joe Buck blabbering about anything.

It’s sad, because as much as I love watching him hit, you’re right. My guess is they give him as many at-bats as possible next year to show him off, then deal him to the AL for a massive haul.

He was particularly brutal in the 2015 Playoffs defensively. I can’t imagine how he’d do playing the field for the first time in 6 months. I don’t see how you start him in the field either. I know you have to get a lead on this Cleveland team early to avoid the Andrew Miller buzzsaw, but putting Schwarber out there…

I don’t doubt he has, but I bet they all get money to shut up about it.

Yeah, if he was recorded actually saying the words “I asked her to have an abortion” or even “I asked her to get rid of it” that would surely have made its way to the evening news. I kept thinking some woman saying Trump had paid for her abortion would be another October surprise. I was talking about this with an…

It’s totally true.

“Not my first choice, believe me.”

I also don’t understand why he let Ross bat in the 7th. He was coming out of the game anyways.

I haven’t watched the Cubs in years, but they were so good in the SF series, I got sucked in. I’ve lived in Chicago for 40 years now, and I’ve seen them blow 8 run leads in the bottom of the 9th... and giving up a 3 run homer in the 8th seems a lot like a choke to me. It’s not a Dusty Baker choke, but it wasn’t…

It can’t be reiterated enough how well Francona is managing this too. Sure that bullpen and Kluber make it much easier but I am willing to bet 90% of MLB managers wouldn’t be making all these correct decisions. They would leave Kluber in too long, not have the guts to use Miller and Allen like this or manage the other…

That feels like an important issue now, because if the Cubs are going to win this World Series, they’ll either need to beat Kluber, or win every single game he doesn’t start. Both feel imposing.

how absolutely dominant the White Sox pitching staff was

Dustin Hermanson was the closer, but saw his job taken by a mid-season call-up, the flame-throwing Bobby Jenks.

Was at Game 2, 5 rows behind where Konerko’s grand slam landed. The fireworks were going off right behind us, yet you couldn’t hear a thing. People tend to forget how absolutely dominant the White Sox pitching staff was in the playoffs that year, probably because no one watched it.

She was born in Edgewater Hospital and her family lived in Rogers Park until she was 5 or so. She is a native of the North Side.
