Autumn Dreamin

My guy Mason Adams was solid in AAA rehab start #3. 5 innings 0 runs on 66 pitches. 2 H, 2 BB, 5 K. 40% whiff rate. Looked like he could have gone deeper. 2nd straight 5IP/0R outing.

Given the larger context, I'm annoyed at the loss but not too bothered. Hard to pull off back to back to back clutch wins. Should've had more runs on the board in regulation but BABIP gave them no breaks (xBA finished at .209 vs. .397...) and they didn't make enough of their own. Still took the series and put some fear into the Guards' all star closer for the remaining 10 in the season, fine. CLE could have DeLauter back for next week, so it would be nice if today was the start of Vargas heating up again and/or Braden making an adjustment. Would also looooove a timeline update for Mune. We play KC next while Cleveland plays a tougher team in Seattle. KC will be down Garcia. Witt Jr is not on the IL, but hasn't played in almost a week.

Oh my God

Cade Smith should be available for the Guards, and getting to him twice in a series seems like a tough ask

Fedde's pitching well, can we get some bloop luck now?

Bibee's luck persists

They are seeing Bibee pretty well so far, Beni and Colson both just missed

Wikelman Gonzalez has been moved up to Winston Salem to continue his rehab

Nice gesture

And another one, jeez

Saw this going around with Tigers fan, limited metric and obviously roster-dependent but interesting. He seems to focus specifically on mid-inning BP moves rather than overall

They never won consecutive 1 run games last season (3 times this year) 16-8 in 1 run games so far, so already more 1 run wins than all of 2025 (15-36) This is also 9 home series Ws in a row after winning 9 total last year

Guards players are frustrated already, finish the job tomorrow

Your first place Chicago White Sox have matched 2024's win total in June. Their win% at home (68.4%) is T-1 in MLB. Their win% in the division (63.6%) leads the ALC. Burke has been great in these last two starts. He set a career high for whiffs in any two game stretch.

Thanks for listening boys

Rough injury luck for them this year

Quick while you're hot, what lottery numbers are due?

Almost wanted Acuna to try scoring on the Ant popout, maybe they throw it away

Good thing his helmet didn't come off during the run or slide

Colson comes through lefty lefty

Another team that's been quietly struggling of late is the Rays, 9-17 over the last month since their hot start. They're always active in some capacity, so I wonder how aggressive they'll be with a weaker AL than expected.
