Autumn Dreamin

Sounds like Yaz is going to hang them up soon. Signed on as MiLB depth for the Red Sox, but no clear path to the majors now that their tandem seems set. Omar Narvaez signed a MiLB deal with the Astros. Wouldn't have minded him back in Charlotte with Teel getting the call, but alas. Jose "Popeye" Rodriguez (remember him?) got reinstated from his 1 year gambling suspension and promptly nontendered by the Phillies, but resigned to a minors deal to get back in game shape. Still just 24.

Both HRs were #108ing (well, technically the first was 107.5)

Colson HBP because the universe has to keep us humble. 91 on the hands, he was wincing but stayed in

Roman Anthony watching all his friends get called up

Umberger is shoving again. 7K through 3.

Wolkow HR now, what a day

Meidroth last two games (9 PA): 90 mph single 100 mph RBI single 87 mph single GIDP 7 pitch walk 6 pitch walk 97 mph RBI single 103 mph single 4 pitch walk

The road Sox get swept by the 14th in AL Orioles. The home Sox split with the top of MLB Tigers.

Love having a guy who does this to opposing fanbases

Nice ABs so far

Well that moved quickly

Another 1 run loss. Sox at exactly that point on the skill/talent curve where it's very hard to win games on the margins but super easy to lose them there.

"tentative agreement has been reached" per NBC https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/deal-expected-between-comcast-chicago-sports-network-that-could-bring-white-sox-games-back-to-air/3760853/

A's won a blowout vs. the Dodgers to get to 22-20...and have lost 19 of 20 games since.

Smith and Vasil combining for 9 scoreless in another series. They did it in NY as well.

Keener with a career best 7 IP, 5H, 2R (1 earned), 0BB, 9K. Kanny wins a walkoff 3-2.

14. Schultz 42. Teel 53. Smith 57. B.Montgomery 62. Quero 87. Bonemer 👀 BA Grade: 55/High. The Skinny: So far, Bonemer has shown power, solid plate skills and the ability to stick in the infield. It’s been a long time since the White Sox have had a talented prep hitter with Bonemer’s upside.

Knights win, 8-3. Baldwin 2-4 with a HR, Colson 0-4 with a BB, Vaughn walked twice and K'd twice, Teel 3-5 with a double, Deloach 2-3 with a double and a walk. BP did well:

New MiLB/prospect focused podcast series from CHSN. Debut episode is a chat with Janish about some broader org development stuff. What they focus on at different levels, balancing maximizing player strengths vs. minimizing weaknesses, being aggressive with these "reset" assignments, etc. Says the AZ trips are never meant to be long, mainly just to take advantage of some of the tools they've built out at the facility there, then maybe get guys in a few games before sending them back with momentum. It's something they will continue to do. Another thing he mentioned was Braden feeling more comfortable batting LH than RH. He wants to improve at it because he's determined to be a switch hitter, so the staff has worked in more RH work into his prep even though of course he mostly faces RHP in game. It's apparently a tricky balance because Braden (and Wolkow, he says) are already guys getting in extra work when they can just because of their makeup. He shouts out Bonemer and Mogollon as two players who should get some more shine.

McCants is back in the lineup for Kanny, gets a single in his first AB.
