Kevin Roth YELLOW/GREEN - Ok now I'm getting tired of saying it... yet another game with a few little downpours around. I'd call it a low chance of a delay, and the game will play 9 innings regardless of any potential delay.

Would you rather have Braden play RF and sink or swim (mostly sinking of late) in a year they are in 1st place or would you send him down and have had one of these guys take at bats in RF? I think I still take Braden but could see an argument why you may not think he’s ready and needs to work on things in the minors.

Well, except Newcomb and later Grichuk...Kay/Fedde has been about as expected. No redeeming Domimguez/Hays though.

Relevant because both fanbases are in a panic...still with a 3-4 game division lead in Central despite 0-5 versus Boston, AZ and SD charging back in the West with two consecutive sweepstakes by Boston and the Cubs.

Sir we are White Sox fans. How DARE you.

Damn, that's not an option anymore so might as well move forward instead of living in the past.

I would rather they tried Boston Smith and not trade him.

Awesome dodgers update at the end here lol

I'm not joking when I say I would rather try Antonnaci there. He's the emergency catcher and Romo playing is an emergency.

I’ll count a rainout as a skid stopper at this point, but would that require a follow-up game thread from me tomorrow?

Back to the time zone thing for Castillo’s debut.

Ask Venable who he wants on his 26-man Hays or Grichuk.

How about Mother Nature gets into the act with a rain out today. The Sox come back for a make-up up game after Boston cools down.

"Take, for example, every recent Dodgers team that has reached the World Series in a full season. The 2017 Dodgers went 12-17 in the month of September. The 2018 Dodgers had a losing record as late as June 6. The 2024 Dodgers lost five straight in May and had a losing record in July. Last year's Dodgers lost seven straight in July, and that wasn't even when their bullpen was in free fall. That's what happens in a sport in which the best regular-season win percentage since the dead-ball era is 72.1% (the 1954 Cleveland team). Losses happen, and they can come in bunches. Yes, the Dodgers have some issues. No, they have not been Space Jam'd. It might also be worth thinking about what a super-team is in baseball. The Dodgers' going back-to-back as champions in 2024 and 2025 is frequently treated as proof positive that a salary cap is needed to save a sport in which the richest team can dominate. Yet even those title-winning teams had such glaring issues (rotation depth in 2024, bullpen in 2025) that they each needed to win back-to-back elimination games at some point." yahoo.com/sports

"Somewhat" being the key word to parse, haha

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7493378/2026/08/05/guardians-to-promote-top-prospect-angel-genao/ So swapping in Genao Adell N.Lowe for Fry Manzardo Arias/Rocchio basically

“While Crow-Armstrong seemed to be sharing this theory in a somewhat joking manner” It was on Kristin Cavallari’s podcast in which the strategy is, let’s say stupid crap to get more views and more advertising dollars.

RealGM is the equivalent of clueless Sox fans on Twitter. Sox fans on this site actually have a clue about contracts and how they work.

https://nypost.com/2026/08/04/sports/pete-crow-armstrong-embraces-bizarre-babe-ruth-didnt-exist-conspiracy-theory/ PCA goes all Carl Everett and questions the very existence of Babe Ruth “This is gonna be crazy,” he acknowledged. “Babe Ruth never existed is one that I like. I heard some pitcher with the Mariners … I think he did some podcast on Zoom where he was going down the rabbit hole with somebody about how Babe Ruth never existed. “We always talk about how the game is evolving, people might as well have been like underhanding the ball to that guy,” he continued. “And he’s regarded still as one of the best players ever. Might as well dive further into it and be like, well, maybe he just never existed."

I had to explain player options for years on realgm don't tell me that the immediate reaction from over posters wasn't people that thought we were spending 75 million on this. Because they played the show or ootp

Hard for me to understand why Quero was sent down, and we keep Romo who is worse instead.

Certainly not cleanup. Will is stubborn reluctant to change.

But against minor league pitching.
