WestEddy

He is out of options after this year. They could DFA him at the end of spring training if he doesn't make the team, or they might just want to clear him before the winter to have the 40-man space. There's about 2-3 guys on the 60-day IL they'll want to protect, and about 4 who will be Rule 5 eligible this winter, who at least deserve consideration for a protective roster spot. Ramos did work hard, but he doesn't have the track record of acing each level like Sosa does. Ramos might be in the same boat as Fletcher, who had his big shot and couldn't take advantage. Guys like Meidroth, Teel and Quero did. It's good to say that the Sox might be moving up to the type of organization that doesn't have the luxury of waiting for guys like Ramos or Elko to take a year to figure things out.

Kopech trying to screw the White Sox by walking every Rockie he faces.

...And that loss drops the Rays back under .500.

Nails Gilbert

Maybe push Vargs over.

Vidi, veni, sosa!

Tauchman double!!

M.A.T.!!

Altavilla will not be eligible for the claiming team's playoff roster since he wasn't on that team before September 1.

They can't "trade" him. Altavilla has had a lot of BABIP luck. His FIP is up over 5.00 These DFA arguments are funny, because most people think about 7 people should be DFAed from the bullpen, but each individual DFA is "stupid" because there's 6 other guys who could have gone first.

And just like that...

Well, good for Houser. Now he can go off and win out for the rest of the season, then get himself a big, fat contract in free agency. Now, let's get after these Rays, and win tomorrow. Looks like a TBD start for us, maybe they call up Burke for the game, or go bullpen. Burke just had a nice game last Wednesday. Smith Wednesday.

Nick McLain and Casey Saucke are good hitters, and should have moved quickly through the system. Too bad they both missed the year with injuries.

Okay, rally starter

Mead's due.

This home plate ump sucks.

The one at the top was the only "French" song, and baseball is more of a metaphor for how hard a woman is. Hard as a baseball. That song is from a movie called Anna that was the first color film shown on French TV in 1967. Serge Gainsbourg wrote the music for the film and appeared in it. The other clip I played was from that film. The film allegedly sucks, I find the soundtrack intriguing.

There's not a lot of French songs about baseball.

I was looking up French songs about baseball. Who were those hockey guys?

Do that again.

Yo-Yo's clawing some of it back.

I feel like the curtain has been pulled back on Gomez.

He goes Real Teel.
