South Detroit

Whitesox starting nine in game 162...combined -2.5 fWAR on the season
Ben Clemens

So you're saying they sent the A squad out there
AvatarJay Jaffe
4:35
That tracks. Based on the definition of replacement level (.294 win%), you'd expect the team to win 48 games so you'd estimate they were about 7 below that overall.

You Dan, the Orioles fan

If I'm above Dan, I'm just happy to be here
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:34
I don't know if other Dan is an Orioles fan
While I'm not nervous, I would be more pleased if there were to be a run differential favoring Baltimore

I wonder how serious those Skubal trade discussions ever got, and how happy the Tigers are they didn't move him in July....
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:35
I got the impression that nobody made an offer that remotely tempted the Tigers
Ben Clemens
4:35
Same

It's like the guy in a keeper league who puts, say, Aaron Judge on the block every summer
AvatarJay Jaffe

I doubt they got serious. you rebuild to hope you come up with a Skubal to anchor your rise to respectability, you don't cash him in once you approach the apron of that.
Ben Clemens
4:36
Like sure, there's a return where he'd get moved
No one is offering that return

I'm quite bummed; voice AI just doesn't understand how to do a Bane voice.

Other Dan is a Mets fan, but is pulling for the Orioles (just to close the loop on this one)

(Possibly) hot take: Teams shouldn't be able to watch replay before challenging. I don't like these challenges looking at whether a hand came of the base for a millisecond

I actually think that reducing the decision time has worked really well.

So am I me or him?
Princess Leia

I absoluely loved that Detroit broke the emergency glass with Jobe when they realized how close the postseason was.
Burnesed
4:37
I know he got some hits recently, but is there a scenario where Adley sits in favor of O'Hearn or other at DH?
Davy Andrews
4:38
I'd be surprised at this point.
4:39
It's not like this just started happening.
Ben Clemens
4:38
Yeah, no way man
For better or worse, your stars play

Ragans and Burnes are both dealing!
Ben Clemens

He's gassed, pretty clearly, I think
(Adley)
AvatarJay Jaffe
4:39
i wonder if he's playing through something
Ben Clemens
4:39
his power numbers are just GONE
4:40
but like... I'm giving him the chance to play back into it
if I'm them
he's capable of great heights

Adley's wrist got hit by a foul ball in June and he hasn't been the same since
AvatarJay Jaffe
4:41
I had forgotten about that. explains a lot
Burnesed
4:41
But more importantly, why does "gassed" mean "tired" when gas is fuel?
Ben Clemens
4:41
now THAT is a great observation
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:42
Maybe it refers to WWI soldiers being mustard gassed?
