Apparently Osuna wasn't available last night due to a mental issue he's going through, which is mega lovely. https://twitter.com/ArdenZwelling/status/878642506975588355 Feel better lil' dude.

Mark Buehrle was a treasure and a gift to the game of baseball. If he played on a more prominent team he would be much more revered by the average fan, but as it is I'm glad he was on the Sox.

The Big Hurt on Buehrle: "I don't care how great the players were, how big the game was, his goal was to get us out of there in two hours and fifteen minutes."

That play is ridiculous, but what's the context where that's not a foul ball?

I remember Khalil Greene's career pretty much ended because of depression. Hope Osuna can get the help he needs.

ESPN said it was anxiety, which I was going to say would be pretty crippling on the field for a closer. But apparently it's just real life that's the problem. quote:"This has nothing to do with me being on the field. I feel great out there. It's just when I'm out of baseball, when I'm not on the field, that I feel just weird and a little bit lost." Glad the Jays seem to be ok with giving him time to deal with things.

Good for him speaking out - glad he's getting help. I guess he didn't have the easiest childhood; apparently he dropped out of school pretty young and started playing pro in the mexican leagues when he was like 16. Hopefully some time off will help

Trade Estrada/Pillar/Liriano for whatever you can get, DFA Goins and Grilli. Sign Donaldson to an extension or trade him too. Oh ya, and fire Atkins and Shapiro, this team is boring and mediocre and didn't have to be.

The payroll is higher this year than last so who the heck knows! Even if that was the case, the signings/trades they did make were bad and puzzling and overpays.

i would hesitate on signing donaldson. i love watching him hit and he's an unstoppable force when healthy, but his nagging injury history is long and he always played through them. now he's not able to play through them it seems. all that compounds and i can't see him not declining in the next two or three years.

As far as I'm aware, the mental aspect of the game and Celebrity in general has been a growing part of the MLB in recent years, which is really smart and honestly a bit better than I expected. I'm glad it's being taken seriously.

Back in 1914 I thought 3 rookies did it in the same game but against different pitchers. Pre-game ceremony was pretty good (plus learning which former players and current execs White Sox fans will openly boo), game itself was absolute trash. I thought the crowd might have followed the umps to the parking lot after that bullshit call at first. How it wasn't overturned I have no idea.
