White Sox tarp/rain and hail delay debacle makes national news...
Well, at least it’s not this

Alexander Canario
Youth movements are always more interesting to a lot of people such as myself, given the alternative option of chasing .500 with some meh or shot veterans. This last rebuild that flamed out sort of goosed fan interest for awhile for sure. But that kind of thing is not going to work again unless the Sox begin bringing up their own talent that they scouted and signed. Canario, well I agree. I would have more fun having a beer in the stands watching guys like that more than the Benintendi of the world.

I would be surprised if the Sox became buyers in any significant way this season. This year is going to be about alignment of the young players in seasons to come. They’re not interested in picking outside the top 3 for the 2026 draft imo. And they likely can’t do anything about it even if they wanted to.

His defense was his best attribute. The RBI didn’t really qualify that much as far as retribution. He put the ball in play.

Kopech yes. Sorry for the confusion.

Hmm, last laughs. Kopech. Maybe. Moncada, probably not. I don’t remember if there was a “probably not” response on the Magic 8 ball, but that’s what we are seeing here. Nice RBI though.

Angels/Sox 3/29...
In a month and a half, this rah rah stuff will give way to tanking talk.

I’m taking the SO as way more indicative, or representative of how the story likely continues for Moncada than an RBI off the pitcher.

Point is, we want to stop that and be releasing the suck, not embracing- How do you rank Chris Getz' GM tenure so far?
What are his short and long term goals? And how hamstrung is he with this ownership?- What else is new: Moncada is hurt
Some people meed to getp out this weekend on the trail with a good GPS watch (not apple without data), and actually try to run an eight min mile. It’s going to be a rude awakening.- What else is new: Moncada is hurt

I wouldn’t be surprised that a lot of MLB players run 8 min miles because the sample set of above average athletes likely includes being able to move that quickly. And I am sure a ton of them run to stay fit. But Eloy doesn’t necessarily need to run an 8 min mile to do his job at all. I’m guessing he just isn’t loaded with a lot of quick twitch muscle fiber, and people like that when required to do sudden athletic movements tend to pull things more often than quick twitch people- What else is new: Moncada is hurt
It’s anerobic. Baseball movement is short bursts of glycogen burns.- What else is new: Moncada is hurt
Just to note, I”d say an 8 min mile is moving pretty good. Most people are gonna be pretty happy being able to move that fast, that’s athletic. And especially a 24 min 5k. That aside, baseball is not really an aerobic sport. Especially endurance not really needed. Just strength and fitness overall. - That's an Opening Day Winner ‼️
