Stinky Stanky

V

One inning good. Two innings not good.

Kopech made it hard yesterday when it should have been easy so he wasn’t available today. Like he’s any good anyhoo.

If this was the NFL he's get 15 yards marched off. But I like his stuff and control of it.

Who paid off Ricky? After a playoff appearance.

Minus 40 IQ points.

Mike Cameron for one compared favorably.

Was gonna put in Mariano Rivera but he's not on the team.

This season’s crowds could fit in Thillens Stadium if anyone goes back that far.

He’s not that despised in Nashville. I checked with my buddy who lives there. Be careful what you wish for. Personally my level of dislike hasn’t got to that level yet. Just my opinion.

And the most famous place for pastrami in NYC is Katz’s and who’s our pitching coach? Works for me. Although I’d trade both of them for a sandwich. On rye with brown mustard.

He has a strategy? News to me.

Lost the game for them. Along with the other things he failed at today. Zach, they’re hiring at Home Depot.

Close to 100 percent probability. Timing is everything.

Was going to bat Nellie Fox second but he’s not on the roster.

Gone first was the venerable Sam Smith then KC Johnson and the paper hired Julia who's working for a fraction of what the other two made in the budget conscious halls of what used to be the Tribune. Nice of the Bulls to provide employment for the two guys. She's an OK writer, don't get me wrong, but she's likely getting paid coolie wages.

I read the story. It’s the theory of Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report! So it must be true! ?

When he throws 100+, he can’t control it. When he throws 96 it gets hit. And he’s a flake. I admit I still care enough to be mad about today’s flop.

He had control of the fastball unlike his last outing but was low in the zone with it and high is better. Will it last? Time will tell. He has the tools.

Belle is the exception that proves the rule.

I’m the guy who keeps posting this, but you keep bringing in new bozos to replace the old bozos until you find the ones that suck the least.

Can’t control the fastball. That’s his big pitch. I liked the one yesterday where after the usual two walks Katz came out to talk to him and the next pitch would have made the backstop if Maldonado hadn't got a piece of it.

If what's his name is closer material I'm the Mahatma of Mundelein. 9th inning from hell. Blame Katz for not fixing him. He's all I got.

Nice story on Schriffen in Chicago Magazine this month. https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/may-2024/meet-the-new-voice-of-the-white-sox/

How many day is it since Eloy was thrown out at third on the exact same fly ball? So he was reluctant to run. Shoulda been pinch run for, I agree.
