Look at Ray Ray Run

They had about half the time they would normally have to ramp up their arms. Not a recipe for health early in a season going 100%.

What did fans do? Players literally have a union and have the right to opt out. They are choosing to play and be there; no guns held to their head.

Kopech might be a secret genius. I remember when some were saying there was no extra risk and blah blah.

So many pitching injuries across baseball. I knew this would happen, but it still sucks.

LOL right, it's 2-1 and people talking like Rodon gave up 25 runs

Looks like Soroka just tore his achilles.

They won't cancel anything; they're applauding Philly having no positives from the Marlins debacle and already celebrating no new tests for the Marlins. Cardinals are going to play like 14 7 inning games out of 60.

White Sox players have been going out - just like all other players around the league. There's no reason to stand on a soap box; hopefully this is a wake up call to these guys because the vast majority were not following procedures.

Yermin got his day on a roster - health care for life at least. Lambert might hit the pension threshold - can't remember exactly how that works with injury. Just trying to think of something positive for both.

If your OBP is over 350 it really doesn't matter how you achieve it. Neither tim or Robert are patient. Robert saw 10 pitches in 6 at bats.

Yeah because Tim was only hitting **checks notes** .333 after a year where he hit 335. I could see why everyone thinks he doesn't belong somewhere or deserve something.

So when Mazara comes back, I imagine the Sox send both Goins and Nicky down and bring up Dunning and Mazara?

Please, stop. It's not swagger. Two hand catching and catching the ball above the bill of your cap does not help you catch a ball more often. We're not teaching 8 year olds who are scared of the baseball.

I think I've posted this before, but via gameday data - which is really the only "data" we have for a lot of minor leaguer defense - Robert was the second best defensive player in the minors last year. "ZiPS projects Robert to be a +4 defensive player in center field, a solidly average contribution at a position where there are lots of excellent defensive players. But there’s perhaps more reason to think that could be wrong in this instance than with the typical player. ZiPS was ambivalent about Robert’s defense over his first two minor league seasons, both of which were hampered by injuries. In 2019, using the probabilistic estimates I used for minor leaguers based on Gameday hit location data, zDEF really liked Robert’s defense. Of all minor leaguers at all positions, ZiPS had Robert as the second-best defensive player, at +20.9 total defensive runs in the outfield (+20.5 range, +0.5 error, -0.2 arm), behind only Michael Siani of the Reds. That comes down to +4 because it’s just a single year of less-than-ideal defensive data. But what if Robert’s a +14 defensive player rather than a +4 one?" https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-white-sox-playoff-road-is-parallel-to-the-luis-robert-expressway/

I'm 10000% OK with Bummer pitching in the highest leverage situation regardless of when.

I swear to god Jose Abreu was never taught how to just play catch. lol

this asshole just walked a guy up 4. This is just atrocious.

...............

Yes, which is why I'd take a lot of the offensive numbers with a grain of salt. 2-3 inches off and about 2 inches under for both sides. Can't hit in that environment.

I mean, he has 9 K's in 24 PA's and a 57.5% contact rate before tonight - I think it's under 50% now. But the key has been that when he has hit the ball, he has made great contact.

60 games is longer than 56.... ?

That a baby Pantera.

I thought that was gone, damn. Must of caught it towards the end.

Right after the Sox started praising Taylor's performance lol.

Catchers interference!
