An AL Central team has not won a series since Cleveland won the ALCS in 2016
Ben Clemens
5:39
Ooooof
JTF
5:39
Are there any teams with relatively underappreciated scouting and development teams?
Kevin Goldstein
5:39
One that comes to mind is losing a playoff game right now....
segiddins

Does anyone else just feel a twinge in their elbow every time Kimbrel stares in for the sign?
Kevin Goldstein
5:42
I feel that way with most relievers. . .
5:44
Lauer escapes the first inning unscathed, and vibes are back to neutral in Atlanta.
jj
5:45
Is Kimbrell's half season with the Cubs, vs  the previous 2 'seasons' with them and the 1/3 of a season with the White Sox enough of a reason to pay him next season?
Kevin Goldstein
5:45
Will The White Sox pick up Kimbrell's $16m option?

I think they pick it up. Getting a one-year deal for a guy who's that good when he's on is reason enough to do it for me
Hey, Grandal tried a throw!
Kevin Goldstein
5:46
Yeah, I think the Astros have something in their advance stuff on running on Grandal....
5:48
Professional Hitter.
This one feels over.
Ben Clemens
5:48
Yeah
jj

$16 mil would make Kimbrell the 3rd highest paid White Sox player right?
Ben Clemens
5:48
Seems reasonable
5:49
Nice way of saying they have a lot of team-friendly deals
Kevin Goldstein
5:49
Five straight LCS appearances for Houston.
Ben Clemens
5:49
This is like how the Rays' highest-paid player is never one of their best ones
Zander
5:50
hasn't the Rays' highest-paid player been Kiermaier a bunch of years in a row? Or did the Morton deal surpass KK?
Kevin Goldstein
5:50
Morton was making more.
Ben Clemens
5:50
Oh man, when Brantley takes one on you
Kevin Goldstein
5:50
Yeah, if Brantley is running . . .

The first time I saw Morton, sometime around 09'-10' I thought for sure he was the next Roy Halladay
Kevin Goldstein
5:51
That too!
Ben Clemens
5:51
Decidedly amateur imo
Running there is truly rubbing their face in it
I don't care about unwritten rules but that's definitely saying 'good game' before your opponent after you crush them

Wait 4th highest I forgot Dallas K (oof) They have a hole or two in their rotation and a $14mil closer already, so I think it is reasonable to think about spending $16 mill somewhere else.
Ben Clemens
5:53
Looks like 5th highest (Abreu, Keuchel, Grandal, Lynn)
Decided amateur
5:53
Perhaps they don’t feel as certainly that it’s over as you do, Clemens.
Kevin Goldstein
5:53
Yeah, CLEMENS.
Ben Clemens
5:53
Haha I mean, I"m not saying they shouldn't do it
5:54
I'm not convinced they'd do it if it weren't for Tepera
it's not even like that was a high-EV steal
JTF
5:54
yordan is a top __ hitter in the league
