The Luis Robert temu description: The Luis Robert that shows up at your door:

Baldwin, Teel, and Lee have all homered in the first inning for Charlotte.

But its a "meatball" take that this organization is the reason players under-perform here.....

People talking about trading Lee is wild to me. You're right if any catcher goes it's Thaiss and thank you for your service.

Zavala in May: .311/.404/.533 with 5 2B, 1 3B/HR, 7BB, 10K.

Well let’s see. The Sox failed Luis Robert, in no specific order, by not meaningfully improving the roster. By not doing real searches to improve coaching or front office staff. By being woefully behind the times in advancements in analytics and preparation. By failing to develop anything to support the main roster. You’ve heard the comments from players that have left this organization, they are a total dumpster fire, they’ve absolutely played a part in failing a lot of players that have come through here.

neither are positioned for success.

What kinda catholic are you? Well imma easter, x-mas and [checks notes] White Sox mass at the park catholic.

Quero needs to get his PA he has nothing left to prove at AAA. Thaiss should be moved for anything they can get while he still is healthy and looks like a decent backup catcher. There's gotta be a team out there that needs one. Our old friends the Royals could maybe use one.

I would take one of the competitive balance picks for him at this point. Might be too much though. Sigh.

Except the whole healthy thing

Story of the core from the last rebuild.

I have all the confidence in the world that those underlying metrics are going to kick in any day now. Go underlying metrics!

92 wRC+ now. Funny thing is his iso is only .123. I bet if he stays healthy he ticks that up over .150 by year's end. I'm thinking 270/290/420.

Gee imagine that. Everyone who has opened their mouth after leaving here has pretty much said the same thing. This organization sucks top to bottom.

Pallette turned in a 4 out save for his 9th straight scoreless outing. Hasn't given up a run since April 22. In that stretch: 11.1 IP, 0 ER, 6 H, 3 BB, 18 K and 6/6 on saves. Barons won 4-2.

Agreed. I know in life people want to be respected, at least most of them care. Maybe billionaires don't care about garnering respect. But a guy Jerry's age ... you can't beat father time and a lot of us normal people now have a very poor opinion or Jerry because of his ruining a proud franchise and making it a mockery in a great city. So Jerry nobody lives forever and your legacy believe it or not is not just the Bulls titles and Sox WS title. Yes you may think you are forever beloved for those things. Sorry ... your ruination of a fine franchise is part of your legacy now. And your not caring about your team or thousands of people in your city who once loved that team is a part of your legacy. Jerry ... you are a mockery nationally sir.

The idea that JR eats, sleeps and drinks baseball has to be one of the greatest myths in history. If he loved baseball as much as he says he does he would have improved this team this past off season. Obviously, he doesn't care if this team keeps losing.

Great article by Sullivan. First of all there weren't even 1,000 people in the park, much less 10,000. The fact teams lie about fans actually in the stands is annoying. Lip can you get us accurate attendance figures for yesterday's game? Great take by Sullivan when he wrote: "For a second straight year, the season is essentially over before Memorial Day, and only die-hards and folks with free tickets are still around to watch how it plays out." No excuse to not play all the young guys. Bring a few more of the prospects up and play Meidroth, Elko, Quero and any other prospect six of every seven games. To the handful of fans still embracing the tank/rebuild, I'm waiting for arguments we should stop playing Quero since these games mean nothing and we need to save his legs for the seasons the games matter again. I would think that's something the tank lovers would say. Every game he plays, those knees get some wear and tear for a .300 team. I still think this unit is better than last year's wretched team, but we are 18 games out of first with every other team in our division over .500. We've said it til we are blue in the face but, thanks Jerry for nothing. Your team has a .300 win percentage and the fourth place team in the division is 13 games ahead of Chicago in the loss column. 10,000 fans there yesterday? Yeah right. How bout 850. Tell the truth, Sox.

We have the best player development.

Gavin Sheets has 2 home runs today. Now 8 on the year. With a .281 Ave, 27 rbi and an .822 ops.......just throwing that out there.

So uh.....do we mention anywhere, that the SoxTalk cast off Gavin Sheets, now has more HRs than anyone on this AAA roster? And he is also at an 822 OPS? Brother....

June 14 mass and ceremony at the ball yard wish I could go.

That seems to be the one ability Vaughn does have. Avail-ability.

Every time I see Kilen, he reminds me so much of Gavin “Harold” Lux.

I did think that about Elko at 1B. Give your IF's a regular sized 1B to throw to haha Body type, I thought Pete Alonso. Turns out, they're the same height and close to same weight.

I'd sell high on him if a team wanted him.

I know he's a 2B in pro ball, but I really love Gavin Kilen. The hitting profile is so attractive. I also feel similarly about Charles Davalan.

Keep an eye on Josh Owens. Sox just sent one of their top evaluators in. @Harold's Leg Lift probably has better sources on how the game went (since he is our true insider), but could see him as the sox pick earlier than you might imagine. You dont waste a day traveling to see a guy like at this point in the year unless its serious. Especially when there are Jeeps to sell.

Excellent point

He looks healthy, especially in the legs, but he just looks mentally destroyed. No plan, no thought process, no confidence. The Sox have failed him so badly.

He's why you play some of the internal guys. He gives you for the minimum salary, what we keep paying $3-5 million on the free agent market for worse production.

Not with Jerry as owner.

ICYMI Jake Palisch is starting now and he's been really good at it? First 3 starts of his career: 16IP, 4H, 1ER, 3BB, 13K. This includes 6IP/1ER tonight to drop his season ERA to 0.90 (He had 8 appearances in relief previously, for 14IP/2ER) Knights and Barons both have some arms who can help in Chicago soon. Anyway, clean sweep on the farm today thanks mainly to lots of offense. Zavala got pulled after not running out a ball to the wall yesterday, and demonstrates the lesson learned by hustling on this one: Gonzo's got a new bat and is slugging .463 in May: Not sure if something's still nagging Tacuhman, but Julks looks more Chicago ready than he does.

I can’t wait to move on from this guy. One of the last remnants from the last rebuild.

So our #3, #7, #9, #12, #17, #18, #19, #21, and #24 prospects, who are all starting pitchers, are all currently unable to preform as starting pitchers.

Bruce has zero credibility, he is and always has been a Cub boy

$12,935,389 career earnings with Brewers/Mets/Rangers Not bad at all for a journeyman/swing guy...not even a LHP. The Vomitting Ace should fit in well with this team, lol. The Vomiting Ace Adrian Houser is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. He made his MLB debut in 2015 and has become a key member of the

Here’s your context: Houser’s wife was in labor on Saturday. I was told that he was starting tomorrow when I first heard about the signing on Saturday. He flew in last night.

And for the record, on fangraphs there are 27 qualifying 1B as measured by PAs in baseball right now. -Andrew Vaughn is 27th on the offensive side. -Andrew Vaughn is 24th on the defensive side. -Andrew Vaughn in 27th in fWAR. If you expand it out to ALL qualified starters: -Andrew Vaughn is 153 of 164 on the defensive side. -Andrew Vaughn is 162 of 164 on the offensive side. -Andrew Vaughn ranks 164th of 164 in fWAR. People are convinced Tim Elko should play because Andrew Vaughn is quite literally the worst starter in MLB right now.

Sox need Sosa, Meidroth, Vargas and Baldwin, each for different reasons and different situations. Infield is turning out to be a strength despite Colson, our number one prospect, still trying to figure things out in the Minors.

Sucks when one troll puts up half of the posts.
