another tough lefty tomorrow. Would rather have Sam start, sit Colson tomorrow

Let’s see if we can’t steal one tomorrow. Either way let’s get the hell out of Boston…hopefully for the rest of the calendar year.

Seattle 4-2 over Detroit Mize gave up eight for Padres in Shields/Peralta impersonation lol

Agreed. I’m not trying to be a hater or saying he needs to go. Unfortunately, they need him now at least a slightly better version of him. It’s hard to watch him hit right now. Just hope he runs into one.

Speier hits Torres on purpose, gets tossed. Bazardo comes in and immediately gives up a 2 run homer. Just Mariner things.

Maybe in a year or two if the Sox have a deeper starting lineup they can move him down a little in the order and take some of the pressure off. You have to remember as well he's still a very young, raw, player learning the ropes. That takes time.

Unless you’re a professional, paid scout, these opinions are basically meaningless. Not even Keith Law is watching 7-10 consecutive games of a player. They’re snapshots. 98% chance Adam’s doesn’t have the stuff for the majors, and Boston Smith doesn’t become a frontline catcher, but they’re still assets that were essentially wasted…when they already had Hill Pereira Hays and Acuna. Getting too cute with the roster. How much would Castillo get this off-season on the open market? Probably around $6-8 million, a one year deal with an option for 2028 based on innings/performance, probably. White Sox outbid the entire market by a long shot…just like Tigers panicked not holding onto Skubal and getting more from the Brewers. Basically all paid baseball writers go with what team scouts and industry insiders say about prospects…just don’t have the time/resources/ROI for it to be worthwhile traveling to follow players, even Roch or Lackey. Jeff Teague had a long NBA career and gave up scouting for ATL after paying to upgrade lousy hotel rooms, lol. there’s just no money in it, especially with AI standardizing things and all the investment going into SEC and ACC budgets/coaching staffs.

I’m assuming this has been cussed and discussed upstream, but what do you do with CMont? I’m not a hater, but the guy is fortunate to hit one fair ball a game. How do you put him in a spot to succeed?

Derek Hill broke his face on the play before this.

They keep on giving: Seattle hits a go-ahead 3 run homer.

Three run Rodriguez bomb lol. Detroit also losing. Sox can thank their lucky stars for the reprieve.

Very true and I've never understood why JR keeps allowing it to happen. As "fiscally responsible" (his words) as he is how this doesn't get him angry at his front office is beyond me. They'll literally waste millions of dollars every year it seems on stiffs, has-been's, retreads and injury-prone guys hoping to catch lightening in a bottle. But to spend top dollar for players like Machado, Harper and their ilk....nope, can't do that!

Keith Law hates the White Sox being penny wise, pound foolish.

Thank you please DM me with your name and physical address so I can send you a check for the bet.

Of course he had no pressure on him then, at least comparatively.

Well Castillo has it within his power to shut up all the critics. We'll see what happens.

The Sox need to thank their lucky stars that Cleveland and Minnesota are losing but don't write off Detroit is all I'm saying. Eighth time this season they have been shut out.

I'm predicting that, having now lulled them into a false sense of security, we will administer a major butt-whooping tomorrow.

Your crusade to defend that trade by all means possible is ridiculous.

Jimmy unironically doing the "Keith Law hates the White Sox"

Love a pitcher RBI

We're not alone either, they've won their last 16 games vs. 1st place teams (CWS, LAD, NYY, TBR) including 4 game sweeps of both teams ahead of them in the standings. Just a ridiculous stretch.

I am just happy these games haven't cost us in the division
