his savant page doesn't match what he's doing at the plate, it's not horrible but not great. I didn't realize he's got a 98th percentile range though. I thought his arm was a lot worse than it actually is, but I think my opinion is skewed from some of his throws from CF to try and get a guy at HP

Mune injury impacted him more than anything but Colson is going to be an issue. Maybe he is playing through something and will move to 1B never year to alleviate that.

That win must have felt pretty good for the offense. I know I enjoyed it.

Example. Taylor comes in with two on and 0 outs in the 7th in a one run game. Gets the first two out. Gives up a single to score the tying run. Blown save per the stats. Yet he was never going to be the pitcher in the 9th to get the save even had he not given up the game tying run which wasn’t his runner anyway. Flawed stat.

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?stats=bat&lg=all&type=8&season=2026&month=0&season1=2026&ind=0&pos=cf&qual=350 Updated list. S.Kwan and Trout have really come on strong...but Tristan Peters still well ahead of them. Vargas 2nd at third to McGonigle, Colson all the way down to 14th at SS. Meidroth 6th at second base. Also, Mune 10th at 1B now Bauers Burleson France have all passed him by. Burke 22nd in pitching Cease/Sale in Top 5 Sandy Alcantara and not L.Castillo the name there to acquire...but too late by TDL this year. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?stats=pit&lg=all&type=8&season=2026&season1=2026&ind=0&pos=all&month=0&qual=120

Caleb is maybe 25% odds to stick in CF...but we shall see soon enough in the AFL.

I understand that, but a lot of pitchers who go in for holds in the 8th or 7th end up getting credited with a blown save when they weren’t in there for the actual save opp. Therefore, if you’re typically a 7th or 8th inning reliever / setup man, your save percentage will be artificially lower.

Uh…. Um…. No.

I noticed that they play the Indians soon and a couple of times in their remaining games. KC beats Cleveland and loses their ass to us. All is well in the white Sox world.

Holy s%*#! Talk about unexpected. Love it!

Same here. What the f***! Pretty lame soft ass s%*#.

Lead is 3 runs or fewer or tying run at the plate: Save awarded for pitching the final inning and preserving the lead for a team win. Hold awarded for getting at least one out in a save situation and leaving with the lead intact.

Dude. That fucking sucked.

I’m telling you - the plan for Kwan is to hit him in the fucking head. Throw Jram on that plan too. Not serious injury “hit in the fucking head” more like knock the helmet off and back them off the plate for the rest of the series “hit in the fucking head”.

I don’t think .500 cuts it IMO. Cleveland is turning it on and have a few meh teams ahead of them. Play .500 and carry out operation SWEEP THE CENTRAL!!! In all seriousness… just take each of the series and sprinkle in a sweep here or there when it comes to our remaining games facing in division opponents. Do that and play .500 ball the rest of the way… we’re golden.

I hope Venable leaves Colson at SS or 3rd tonight against the Texas starter LHP MacKenzie Gore. Colson hangs in there against LHP, maybe he sticks to his approach better. If Mune gets the day off that would be fine by me, maybe come in as a pinch hitter against an RHP.

How many of those were actual save opps in the 9th versus giving up a lead in the 7th or 8th, though?

His moves were telling. To me they spoke of arrogance. He’s really firm in the belief in the departments he’s built and he’s really firm in his belief of our kids on the farm. I think that arrogance was shortsighted where there should have been a more balanced approach. There should have been more of a willingness to sacrifice some of the future for the present. Oh well… if it doesn’t pan out and he owns this, I’ll forgive it. If it pans out then he was right and he’ll earn some respect. Big gamble in my book. But then again, this team has responded every single time they are challenged or questioned… so maybe he has cause to feel such confidence. Another example we all likely forgot about was that Woods kid that we got in the Gonzo deal with Pittsburgh. Dude got lit up like a Christmas tree in his first Charlotte outing but has since gone something like 11 games 1.43 ERA and double digit strikeouts. That may be another example of taking on a project and his coaching staff bringing results.

Whatever happens with the CBA, I just hope the Sox get more beefed up in their scouting departments:

Jacob deGrom can use the line from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, "Who are those guys?" DeGrom vs 2026 White Sox: 0-2, 14.04 era, 8.1IP, 13H, 13 ER, 7 BB, 8 SO.

Meh… he’ll probably suck but that was fun.

43% Blown Save rate

Changes are hard mid season which is why it’s strange that Getz went out and acquired two projects out of four total additions.

Thorpe threw better than the line looked, after watching his outing. I won’t be shocked either way if they want to see another start or if he’s starting for the Sox on Sunday. Likely depends most on how other variables shake out in the coming days. Only discouraging things were the lower velo and him not going at least 5. Encouraging things, continues to get swing and miss while only facing soft contact.
