I'm not making that point, but run with it.

When they try to slow it down just to make the plays in front of them, they're loafing. When they press to make things happen, they're boneheads.

They're screaming that these guys should be starting every game the rest of the way to "learn", but every mistake they make is Getz' fault, because they didn't learn how to deal with every possible situation that happens at twice the speed at the major league level - in the minors. That's Entertainment!

Ellis is also 26, and was never expected to be anything. He was promoted as an emergency measure when 2 OFs went on the IL. I don't know why you guys expend so much energy bemoaning the clearing out of 4th OFs and last utility infielders on the bench. There's a reason why they didn't do this to Terrel Tatum or Jaime Burke. Those guys more describe the argument you're about to make about amassing "interesting prospects".

Or it's a giant "don't reinjure yourself before the TDL" to Robert.

Thinking about all that tape he would be watching next rain delay.

I haven't been for a few years, but I'd buy upper deck tickets, then grease the Andy Frain dude $20+ to let you into the lower deck.

Nice article by James Fegan about how Cannon is getting his arsenal to play up. https://soxmachine.com/2024/06/jonathan-cannon-is-proving-to-be-a-quick-and-willing-study/

Sure. Just keep in mind that a player on an insane hot streak will still fail 60% of the time.

Looking at Fangraphs' 2023 data, they rank Roberts among the best CFers in the game, while Julio is middle of the pack good. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?stats=bat&lg=all&type=8&season=2023&month=0&season1=2023&ind=0&pos=cf&sortcol=20&sortdir=default&qual=y

SoxMachine reports this about Iriarte's recent struggles: https://soxmachine.com/2024/06/white-sox-minor-keys-june-20-2024/

The major league minimum is about $800k. Yeah, you have to have guys in your bullpen, 4th OFs and utility infielders. This is a stupid meme.

Probably had to be added to the 40-man by a date or he became a free agent. He's probably the most logical 3rd catcher at AAA right now, so they decided to hang on to him.

He seemed to stop posting around the time thee Clevinger signing was announced.

What's happened to Shane Murphy? He's been having a rough go of it since he did a spot start in AAA. Jet lag?

Or you acquire more value getting guys already on the 40-man rather than players not yet on the 40-man.

Houston seems pretty angry about civic sculptures.

Flexen with the quality start.

I think he needs a nick name.

we took 2 of 3 from SL and the Nats. Both sets of wins were Fedde and Crochet.

St. Louis and Washington. Cleveland and Tampa Bay. We split with Boston and Atlanta.
