Collins needed to return so that the White Sox could preserve his option status. He didn't spend 20 days in the minors so the option doesn't count. He'll have an option remaining coming into the 2022 season now.

Nicely done on Norm day

even OJ thought that was murdered

I have been a Sox fan for 49 years. Winning the Division and making the playoffs are a really big deal for this ball club. It doesn't happen that often. I have learned to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. This season has been a great journey so far. There is no way to predict what will happen in the playoffs. I just hope the team is as healthy as they can be and i will enjoy every minute of it.

That’s one of those moments people will come on here and say we were too negative. That was legit one of the ugliest zero run innings of the year.

really not taking enough walks -- Keith Law

The one side of that ball is now flat.

ok

Well I think they thought that Zavala was more useful. Now they're bringing back Collins because Seby stinks too and it preserves Collins' option status and makes him much easier to trade this offseason

Stop peddling logic around here. Jeez.

never a doubt

Imagine not having anyone warming up when Wright hasn't been able to throw a strike all inning

Of course no one is warming up

TLR wants someone who can go multiple innings even if he's a garbage pitcher.

I thought mlb the show disrespected him with that 1 speed rating but now I might have to reconsider that thought.

Hope nobody is “bored” with a three run lead, 2 home runs and six runs after three and a half innings.

xBA of .170 on that HR for Walsh

He hit that to 95th, BS on that 447.

Leury out-OPSing Hernandez...

Abreu's helmet must be a nightmare to pick up, for the bat boys. Goodness, that is nasty.

If we lose to a guy name Packy then we deserved to lose to a guy named Packy

Yankees up 5-0 on Baltimore in the 3rd inning. It's becoming increasingly clear that the Wild Card is going to be won by the team that gets to play Baltimore last.

LOL

Fastball: Sits 90-93; sinks it low; modest arm-side run; predominantly flat elsewhere in the zone. Draws weak contact in the lower third; barrel magnet when he tries to elevate. Deception slightly pads quality; modest velocity and movement profile will give him smaller margin for error at the big league level. Grade: 45 Curveball: Often lacks target zone velocity, sitting around 74-76. Inconsistent arm speed, release point and follow through. Shows sharp 1/7 break at its best; decent amount of slow rolling hangers up in the zone. Backdoors it to steal strikes and works it low as a spike pitch. Swing and miss is more so a product of pitchability than raw stuff. Grade: 45 Changeup: Above-average offering; optimal velo separation at 80-83. Features late tumble and solid arm-side fade. Maintains arm speed; thrown with conviction; shows confidence utilizing the pitch in FB counts. Elicits weak contact and swing and miss from both LHB and RHB. Grade: 55 Control and Command: Crafty southpaw with advanced pitchability. Impressive control; pounds the zone with quality strikes; sequences well, avoiding predictable patterns and locations. Actively attacks the edges of the plate; gives up loud well barreled shots in the heart of the zone. Above-average command of FB and CH; CB command significantly lags behind. Control: 60 | Command: 55 Name: Extremely Stupid. Grade: 25

I've noticed a very big difference though. CNN and the broadcast networks are biased in choosing which facts/stories to emphasize and which ones to ignore. Someone uses a racial slur against a Democrat, it gets the full 4 hour primetime treatment. Someone uses a racial slur against a Republican and it just doesn't get mentioned. I don't often hear flat-out false information. Fox News, and to an even greater extent Newsmax and OAN, present much more information that just isn't true, either deliberately or because they didn't bother to fact check.

I'm not convinced that's true, at all. Say the Sox make a long playoff run. Say they win the World Series and Rodon is the ace during the playoffs, pulls a Bumgarner. While that will earn him more money on the open market, I also could very easily see Jerry and the brass making sure that World Series "hero" doesn't walk away for nothing.... A lot will have to do with this teams performance in October.

If the White Sox have taught me anything, its that they have no idea what the rotation will look like next year, let alone is 2024. Don't believe me? Go back 5 years and look at everyone's "future rotations" and line ups.

If we have to face Houston and they have HF, this is going to be a short playoff push.

I know everyone has issues with Cesar’s offense… …but he is damn smooth at second.

Luis got really lucky there

He knows they will crush it if he throws it over the plate.

Yes, but he can give the Sox "length" of course he'll never actually pitch well enough to go ~3+ innings but still, length!

Must like to adopt dogs

Maybe it's too frivolous to really care about, but I'd rather see an actual reliever like Foster in this role than Mike Wright. If Foster goes 2 innings and can't pitch for a few days option him and recall someone else.

Remember when many were worried if Sheets would ever find his power when he was in the minors?

Too bad he can't play second base.

No way that was 447. He absolutely killed that.

Best catch of his career

I guess they are going to keep sending him out there but come playoff time I don't see how you don't put Leury out there if Cesar keeps giving you nothing at the plate.

Damn Sheets can move for a big man.

TLR is definitely looking at Leury over Cesar come October

There are endless Canadian celebs but only one act wore it loud and proud.

Lineup looks so much better with TA in it

Robert should bat 2nd instead of Yoan vs LHP

Right?!?!? There are always those people, the moment after the team wins the World Series, thinking "BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT NEXT SEASON NOW?!?" We're fans. Enjoy the ride a little bit.

Based pretty much on these two alone, I'd roll up with Rodon-Giolito-Lynn-Cease if we're on the road. In a picture perfect world, that sets you up for Lynn to close it out at home. Plus, I think of all the pitchers, Rodon might get the biggest "good" adrenaline boost from pitching Game 1.

Lock this thread and ban OP, thanks

Cesar Hernandez.....the bench is calling.

A.k.a he's struggling or he tore his vagina
