White Sox fans holding up banners and chanting "SELL THE TEAM" at last nights game.. Some of us complained and were bummed out over the Cubs past cores window closing with only one championship. Imagine being a Sox fan , this team looked to be set up well for a nice long run and went quickly from being a WS favorite to get there and win , and now are close to being the worst team in baseball , and would be if it weremn't for the A's. Unfortunately for them that won't happen until Reinsdorf passes away. I think there are tax implications if he sells the team rather than gifting it to his children after he passes. I believe it's been said his children have no interest in owning the team and will likely sell after he goes. At 87, that could be any day...or not so soon.

I know he's wound different than most players are , but how could he possibly think doing that would be a good idea , especially to a culture usually so honorable and respectful. Love the "don't be an idiot" apparently he doesn't know Trevor can't help himself .

Love the "don't be an idiot" apparently he doesn't know Trevor can't help himself . It appears, not everyone in Japan agrees. In fact, almost everyone there disagrees. Bauer is a Billboard Sensation and the Minor League teammate is now posing for pictures with Bauer and offering a different story. BayStars reliever Yasuaki Yamasaki was critical of a video in which Bauer asked fans to copy his routine after a strikeout. Yamasaki called it "disrespectful." However, he later said on social media -- in a photo with Bauer -- that his message was misunderstood... (LOL)www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/36905430/unsigned-mlb-trevor-bauer-gets-big-welcome-japan

Yeah , that's kind of what I think. I'm sure there was enough negative vibes from signing him in the first place that they want to spin this in a way it doesn't make things look worse. But hey , I could be wrong on how I think they interpret shit over there.

Baez homes are again! The Mets lost with one of their two ancient aces on the mound yesterday (part of dropping both games of a doubleheader… against DETROIT). And now their other ancient ace makes his season debut and quickly puts his team down 0-2 in the first inning.
Love to hate the Mets.

The Blue Jays announcers wondered out loud why Aaron Judge kept glancing toward his dugout between pitches before his HR. Judge said after the game he was glancing at his teammates that were chirping at the umpire. The announcers are saying it is suspicious.

Kind of seems like a lame excuse, do you really need to keep glancing at guys "chirping" ? Can't your ears handle the attention that takes and if that's what he was doing, wouldn't you only usually react the first time by looking and not keep looking between every pitch ?

How would they know what pitch is coming? Have they " hacked " into the pitch com already?

If that's the case then it's good old baseball sign stealing/pitch tipping and not cheating.
