>avi still being a fucking idiot

So how legit do you think Lindor's power surge this year is? Obviously he's going to cool off a lot, but does he actually have 30+ HR power? I assumed his power was going to develop into doubles, not
so much homers.

>>75173533
>lindor cooling off
I doubt this unless a freak accident occurs to him. The Tribe really unearthed a gem that will be a staple to the organization for years to come. And he'll always find a way to stat pad against the White Sox.

time to watch May not get a hit again

what the fuck cameraman

Carrasco's violent disappointment with that hit was something else.

>>75173533
Last 2 digits is the the number of home runs lindor ends the season with

I love how Andrew Miller looks radically different in every commercial he's in.

Whether you root for the team to win or lose is irrelevant in the case of the sox this year when the talent level is so low that we'll probably end up getting Seth Beer at a top 3 pick if not first overall anyways.

Always I would want the sox to win. In other years it was anguishing because they were actually trying and still losing. Now that they just plain suck with guys like Jacob May and Cody Asche and Avisail Garcia and James Shields unrionically on a major league club, you still want them to win but now you know if they lose its just eh cause they suck that much.

I think expectations could be affecting them mentally. Last season, they were figured to be 3rd behind the Tigers and Royals in the division. Even halfway through they weren't really looked at as contenders for the pennant. They played out of their shoes all the way into the World Series.

Now, that weight is on their shoulders. They're expected to get to the WS no matter what the obstacles. I think it might be getting to some of the guys.

That's with the idea that they will avoid arbitration on everyone. Russell is up this offseason, Schwarber in 2019, Bryant this year, Montero is a FA after next season, Zobrist is in retirement possible years, Baez in 2019. That's just covering position players who may not be in a Cubs uniform for 6+years.

I'm not downplaying the Cubs current talent. There's a large amount of it. Just saying that they're not close to the Steinbrenner Yankees in terms of bringing in relevant high priced talent year in and year out. I get it, you're a fan and a believer in a dynasty. Unfortunately, it most likely isn't in the cards.
I'm well aware of where the Indians stand. They have, at best, two more years of competing until the window is shut and they start rolling off veterans like Kipnis, Gomes, EE, Almonte, Miller, Allen, Shaw, Carrasco, Kluber, etc. in favor of prospects and compensatory picks. Santana, Brantley, and Tomlin are most likely gone after this season.

>>75175494
The only reason the Yankees get the top talent is because they're willing to pay what is necessary to get their man. They aren't completely retarded with their money like the Doylers, but if they need to put up an extra 5 millions to secure someone, they won't bat an eye.

Cubs aren't willing to just blow money at will. It's why they told Fowler to back is bags and Arrieta is going to be leaving after this year.

Kahnle is shit

I will never forgive him for 8-7 even though it was mostly Robertson's fault who I'll never forgive either

Kahnle will walk the bases loaded just to get the last out.
