Because the white Sox are likely looking at 2020 as their first year of legitimately contending for a playoff spot, I do think they promote him if he continues to rake so he can take his MLB lumps this year and be ready to produce from the get go next season.

Stop pretending that commonsense is so elusive. The lengths that old white people go to to protect their stranglehold...shit is fucked.

Imagine this utterly archaic and beyond idiotic viewpoint in literally any other sport. Sink a 40 foot birdie putt? Calmly walk to the hole pretending that you missed it. Dunk all over LeBron James? Act as if you banked in a layup during practice. You’ve got to have a special kind of deficit in your noggin to believe there’s anything wrong with Anderson’s bat toss and that he should be punished in any way for it. Meanwhile, Keller ought to be suspended without pay for the next 2 to 4 weeks. This barbaric tradition is an embarrassment to the game and steps need to be taken to eliminate it. How quickly we forget that Acuna’s incredible rookie season was nearly cut short by this type of nonsense. Pitchers simply cannot be allowed to behave like psychopathic troglodytes when the whim should strike them. There must be consequences. Imagine the sort of fine and suspension Albert Belle would get today for running over Fernando vina. He got five games back then, would get 10 or more today. For a starting pitcher, that’s a 25 to 50 game suspension. As it ought to be. That kind of act is about the closest equivalent to drilling a guy you will find for a position player. You put a players career and even his life in your hands when you willingly choose to throw a baseball at him. If the threat of a real consequence is there, the behavior will vanish almost overnight. It’s long overdue for MLB to truly address this garbage.

If you could pick ten man-made structures in the world to save from calamity, Notre dame would’ve been on the list. Really sad. I wonder what they’ll do in terms of rebuilding if some of the structures survives.

So a 65ish win team should throw away money and a draft pick for a mediocre pitcher that will be of no real benefit? In what world does that make sense?

12-18 if they get all games in. The pitching is awful enough that it really doesn't matter if they have a cupcake schedule.
