FanGraphs BaseballThe Derek Hill All-StarsNo player has — and I’m going to need you all to come with me here, this is a risky neologism I’m about to coin — outkicked his clutchverage as much as Hill.

All depends on what JR allows Getz to do. You know his policy regarding pitchers and contracts. And it depends on the labor situation and all the uncertainty that brings.

we better bring in some starters in FA.

2024 aside, even in lopsided years, it's really hard for one team to sweep the 6 game season series.

They found Narcan at the scene so it is now suspected to be a possible overdose. Yeah, he was a DV abuser, and also abused drugs and alcohol. Sounds like they both did the latter.

It’s so obvious how has this not been a coined phrase yet!?!?!???

BRING IT THE f*** ON BABY!!!!

It’s only been what… 120 years? We’re due.

Was this a known medical report that dropped him to the 15th round? Or was his performance a 15th round performance?

I get the gist. I don’t quite understand the statement, but the sentiment feels correct

St. Louis appears to be playing Pereira as a straight platoon. His batting line looks good, but he's striking out almost a third of his low number of at-bats. I wish him well. Getz was right about him, he just couldn't stay healthy, and the Sox felt better about Doyle. The people who railed on about another 100-loss season now believe their negativity somehow created this first place team, and Getz/Venable can only mess up their commenting work. I still don't think Getz could have gotten 2 front line starters without emptying the farm, and maybe not even then. Nobody really thinks what it means to complain how Doyle is a worthless bum, but he still cost Adams and Vielma on the market. If Adams and Vielma was the price for a worthless bum, they don't seem to be able to explain how Adams and Vielma would have brought back Detmers or better.

I almost wish I could like him or at least be ambivalent towards him, since he's going to be in Chicago for a while and hangs out with other young Chicago athletes that I do like. I don't auto-dislike Cubs players or rivals who play well against the Sox. But he's just not likeable at all to me (and doesn't even bother to offset his obnoxious personality by being even a little photogenic either...)

I'd have to check his exit velos, but eye test tells me everything he hits comes off the bat HARD, even the outs.

4-2 road trip is fine

He was a 2 way player in college.

Yes, he/Hickerson was also the one who perpetrated an ongoing DV campaign against her... losing custody of daughter also factors in as well as being "trafficked" in Hollywood at 16-18 years old

Loose body removal, not TJ, so he should be good to go for next season.

From Fegan's Sun-Times story: Injury updatesMartin threw his first bullpen session Wednesday since hitting the IL for a blister on his right middle finger. The blister is basically healed, but the IL stay also offers Martin the chance to rest and reset his delivery mechanics. After a phenomenal first two months, he has a 7.06 ERA since June 1. He is eligible to be activated on Aug. 29. Kyle Teel is on track to test his recovering left ankle running the bases this weekend. If he completes two successful days of running the bases, the Sox starting catcher will be cleared for a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. Prospect lefty Cameron Johnson underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow this week. Last month’s 15th round pick is expected to be ready by spring. White Sox rotation is in place, if you squintManager Will Venable stipulated Wednesday that Erick Fedde and Jose Urquidy are part of the Sox rotation at present, though both pitched behind openers in the Crosstown series, and the former has bounced between roles throughout August.

Fascinating video on how Hinch's bullpen management has fucked the Tigers. Think we saw it on our series. Have more appreciation for Will's bullpen management after this.

Shut down until AFL? Definitely maximizing those six hits. AB AVG HR RBI SB OPS 36 .167 1 10 3 .659
