Inning over with the lead if Thaiss just holds on to the ball. You're here to help a young staff, you have to make that play.

PC-Oh no

Attaboy Shane, get the bats back out there.

Crochet vs. Sale tonight

You love to see it

10. Chicago White Sox – RHP Kyson Witherspoon, Oklahoma If this year’s draft plays out how we think it will, the Chicago White Sox will have plenty of options available for them at pick number 10 overall. The perfect solution for them, however, is Kyson Witherspoon, a right-handed starting pitcher who has been one of the bigger risers on recent boards. Witherspoon possesses a dynamic arsenal, headlined by his devastating four-seamer and slider combination. His fastball can nearly touch triple-digits, giving it great results. His slider is devastating, as he goes right after hitters with the pitch. With his slider playing more like a hard cutter, the pitch tunnels well off his fastball, being a key part of his success. He also throws a changeup and curveball, but uses them significantly less than the four-seamer and slider. With the White Sox focusing heavily on pitching in recent drafts, while also having their hitting prospects excel in 2025, it seems likely they may go the pitching route again. If so, Witherspoon is the perfect choice. https://www.justbaseball.com/mlb-draft/just-baseball-2025-mlb-mock-draft/

Lots of focus on the swing tweaks, but wow does Colson's approach look much more like it used to since his return to Charlotte. I think he's only chased maybe 2 pitches out of the zone, and I don' think I've seen him whiff or watch a strike at all. Back to fouling stuff off until he gets what he wants. Clearing his head for a bit might have been as beneficial as anything else he did in AZ.

He's a 6'7" RHRP, primarily sinker/slider, tops out around 97. Hard changeup at 89-90. Good results in the hitter friendly PCL. 20 Ks to 8 BB, 5/6 on saves this season.

Capra fills the 40, so someone's out I guess

So likeable on and off the field

AL Win-tral? Every ALC team has a winning record in May. Sox now just two games behind the O's, who they visit at the end of the month.

Brooks says he'll make up for it with the bat

Kannapolis has a very impressive team approach and execution on offense. Taking the extra base, working walks, capitalizing with RISP, etc. Highest number of sac flys in the Carolina league, lowest number of GIDPs in A ball. Turned 15 hits and 8 walks into 14 runs because they are adapt at cashing in. Wolkow has a fellow skyscraper on the team with the debut of 6'9" RHP Kevin Davis, a 26yo UDFA.

George and Braden HRs on the same day 😍

Solid contact on 97mph from Colson, unfortunately was right at the guy

Oppor was mostly cruising through his A+ debut into the 4th, but then bad luck and fatigue got to him around the 70 pitch mark. Ground ball that just misses being an inning ending GIDP left the inning alive for an RBI single. Then an IF hit that was fumbled at third led to him being pulled at 3.2IP, 4H, 4ER, 4BB, 3K. 3 of the runs came after he left the game, and 2 of the walks were in the 4th when he was laboring. But on the bright side in WS:

More of a "for fun" mock, but has Liam Doyle as the pick.

If we catch them even for a day I will be so insufferable.

5 road teams got walked off today and despite being 4-17 away from home, the Sox weren't one of them.

Sox had 21 saves last season and are well behind that pace despite being on track for more wins. That's the fewest since at least 2000 (not counting 2020).

The trend of save-less wins continues on, 13 wins and still just 2 saves. The 7 win Rockies have 5 saves. 21 teams have 10+ already.
