Trying and failing is always better than not trying at all. Didn't your parents teach you anything?

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/01/2026 https://www.mlb.com/milb/scores/all/all/whitesox?affiliateId=mlbcom-milb After several years of just finding something good in the minors, which with enough games usually occurs, anyone else find that their mood for the day hinges on the outcome of a darn game? Scoreboard watching again? Ugggg

Even Dustin Harris has been around a .300 hitter with the Padres during the last couple of weeks. Lost him as well. Does anyone realistically imagine Pham hitting anywhere close to that?

Who wouldn’t want this veteran leader on their team?!?

I'll let this Reddit post sum it up

Don’t try to use this kind of logic around these parts. Yes, Getz dumped three better outfielders to wind up with old man Pham for the playoff run. The same Pham that apparently wasn’t good enough for three other teams to retain this season in the Mets, Orioles, and Phillies. Last night’s broadcast provided the answer — Venable likely requested Pham’s acquisition because he liked him in 2022 when he was the hitting coach for Boston. He must have been impressed by the -0.3 bWAR that Pham put up for Boston in the second half of that season. The Castillo and Pham acquisitions appear to provide further proof that Getz thinks that he can strike gold for a few months to a year with aging players nearing retirement, similar to the old Kenny and Hahn strategy that usually failed.

Was there any explanation from the UMP or Will about the 3-1 count that should have been 2-2.

Sox finish season vs Rockies. I would not be surprised if Mason Adams pitches one of those games.

We all know that players choke occasionally; can GM's choke, too?

Perez probably gets DFA'd so that would be the 40-man move.

I couldn't believe it at first when I read that Sox are signing Pham, but in all fairness, he probably catches that ball in deep left that Sam missed completely.

I am happy the Bears signed Caden Barnett to their practice squad. I don't know how good he is but the nickname "Vanilla Gorilla" is awesome.

What happened to Shane Smith?

So the extra two men to start September will be McDougal & Pham. Tommy will require some 40 man roster move to add him. Junior Perez seems most likely to get DFAed to add him. Probably why they traded for Cave. At some point, Teel will be added to the 26 man roster. With the addition of Pham, it seems like they will only go with two catchers. Romo should have options and sending him down would allow you to hold onto to more depth, but it just feels like the Sox will end up keeping him over Rogers. This would also open up a 40 man spot. On the pitching side, Martin should be back very soon. The most obvious offsetting move is sending Tyler Davis back down to AAA moving Urquidy to the bullpen. And not too far behind Martin is Chris Murphy, who was very good with the Sox prior to his injury. Schweitzer, Urquidy, & Richards are the three most likely to be replaced and in that order. I guess McDougal is also an option to be sent down here as he might just be a placeholder until the injured pitchers come back. Not sure the status of Brazoban and if/when he’ll be back, but that feels like a late September addition base case scenario. McDougal almost certainly goes if/when he comes back. That leaves Thorpe and Sandlin as other guys who should probably factor into the mix somehow. At minimum, Drew will need to end his rehab assignment at some point. My guess is Rogers gets DFAed eventually to open up that spot. I also think Sandlin would be an improvement over several guys right now, including Urqudiy.

McDougal’s line in Charlotte since being sent back down: 4.2 IP | 3 K | 6 BB | 10 H | 11 R | 7 R | 3 HR | 13.50 ERA | 14.44 FIP Definitely the guy who should get the call to solve our pitching woes!

I don’t get this move at all. Pham hasn’t been above average against LHP since 2023 and is now 38 years old. He is also a below average defensive OF and has lost a lot of his speed. What does he bring to the table exactly? More importantly, whose roster spot is he taking? It’s pretty wild that we gave away Hill, Periera, & Hays for nothing and now are rolling the dice an old, likely broken player. And yes, broken could also probably describe Hays and maybe even Periera to some extent, although Everson at least killed LHP when healthy.

Giolito/Reynaldo

Sox have 4 games against the Tigers as well. It's not some great advantage.

You want to put Colson in a contact spot? Meidroth would be better...even Peters. Not working with Mune now obviously ... especially against lhp. But doubt Venable will drop him now/yet.

Hey but don't fear...The great Tommy Pham and his acolyte Jake Cave are here to guide us through and take us to the promised land...

Yup. We got 10 walks and scored a grand total of 1 run as a result (back to back walks to Ant and Mune plated 1 run). That means we got 8 walks and produced NOTHING. Is it time to drop Mune to 5th (or 6th), and put Colson in the 2 hole?
