Autumn Dreamin

Look at the rookies go 😍

Good for him. I'm one of the people who does buy into his underlying contact metrics and stuff, so I hope the change of scenery helps.

Losing that series to the Sox at home apparently really woke the Jays up I guess, they've gone 11-2 since.

Also convenient that COL, WAS, etc. are locked out of top 10 for '26

Nastrini on the bump against Charlotte will be a weird sight if that one actually gets played tonight.

Also, uh, Nats just fired their GM a week before the draft. Not sure it impacts 1OA, but it certainly could cause some scrambling somewhere?

Guards took a 1-0 lead once Skubal left the game in the 8th. Clase blows the save to take it to extras 1-1. They give up 6 in the 10th to lose 7-2. 10 straight losses, 15 runs scored total in that stretch.

He also seems to have the same ump luck as LRJ, where whenever he tries to lay off close pitches they get called against him.

They better trade Tauchman before I get (more) attached. Still has an arb year left and it's not like we have a wealth of young OF knocking down the door.

Looks like a line drive in the box score 😅 Baseball gods trying to compensate for the bad umping?

Oh but THAT'S a strike??

That second angle was compelling I thought

Yeah, he had an opt out if he wasn't on the 40.

The Guards are having a bad time. Ongoing 9L streak, shutout 5 times in that stretch (and 8 times in the last month which is more than the Sox all season)

13.2 IP and 2 ER from your starters in two games at Coors is pretty good.

Look at MAT. He is the Luis Robert now.

White Sox Traveling Magic Show, making baserunners disappear

Way to get out of it

👀

McDougal leads the Barons to a shutout W, 7-0. 6IP, 2H, 0 BB, 6K. 1.27 ERA in his first 4 starts at the level. Scoreless pen work from Kelley, Dalquist, Franklin. Gonzo 2-5 with a double, Galanie and Nishida 2-4.

Tristan Gray quietly added to one of those empty 40 man spots per the transactions log.

Didn't watch, but I'm assuming it was something like second lowest ERA since he signed, min 50IP

It's a beautiful Friday for the 4th of July, but in my headcanon they mostly showed up for Colson's debut, Quero fireworks, and Grant Taylor fastballs.

He was bad for the Mets last year, don't think they'd run it back despite him looking like a different guy now.
