Wow - now to hope his recovery continues to trend super positive! And hopefully we get good news on Monogai and Kyler eventually figures things out / gets things right.

Could care less about what the Cubs do but the twins, tigers and guards all losing is fantastic. Great weekend for the White Sox!

Quero has been looking much better at the plate of late - guy has always hit up until this year so I think this is a good sign. Clearly has to work on his defense and other routines though. Sucks we blew Burke’s start - we haven’t had the best pitching of late so tough to blow those types of games. Maybe blessing with Martin getting ejected and rain delay - get him rest and healed up and maybe he can get right.

Huuuge - way to bounce back from that rough BoSox series! I said it a few days ago - we going to go on a hit streak!!!

Alright Ant man - let’s go!

The milkman

I believe we see Sox make a free agent splash and a trade…my guess is they target an outfielder (maybe the guy from japan) and a starting pitcher. And I could see both being free agent signings. I think we see their payroll jump to the 150-175M range. And Id like to see them do that while having the 3 stud ss prospects still In the minors plus retaining Hagen/Noah/Tanner/Sandlin as having that sort of depth will force real competition but also comes in handy. Note: I think we see Ishibia transition happening soon, but even with that, I think JR post lock out will make one final splash knowing he won’t be on back end of any of those deals.

Regarding Will - he messed up. I don’t get any sense that he doesn’t put in the work or do all the right things as a big league manager. s%*# happens and it was stupid (or very smart) but I’ll stick to stupid for sake of this. Everyone has made stupid mistakes in life, even at things they are good at. If you have good habits and ethics and everything else…you own it, move on and never make it again. He’s done those things so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Now if he is napping in dug out or clueless all the time that would be different, but he has given me zero of those vibes and this is all assuming he just totally dropped the ball. I wouldn’t be shocked if the inverse was true too - and he was really playing checkers there.

The Sox have totally jacked up Noah. The good thing is the offseason is almost here and he is still young with high end stuff (despite Sox jacking that up too). Prior to this start we had seen some progress but he also doesn’t have ability to go deep vs big leaguers. Get him down there with a simplified game plan and give him some extra rest beteeen starts to keep building up his durability and momentum. Wouldn’t be shocked to see him up in September out of the pen and then a good mini refresh in the offseason with a much sharper game plan. I will caveat - at this point - there is plenty I’m pleased with by the Sox, but I think they need to strongly consider shake ups on the pitching development / coordination side…cause it has been nothing but a massive series of failures.

Hope all 4 of these guys involved ultimately have long and successful careers with this franchise.

I will admit Red Sox have a horse shoe up there you know what right now…but I tip my cap. They are hot…it happens and move on. The meatball changeup was the 9th inning pitch to have back and that sinker…tip your cap…that said I also wouldn’t be surprised either as it did seem like they knew what was coming but that could also be Sox pitching predictable

Time for Sox to go on a huge run!!!

That stupid send from 3rd base was so bad with the meat of the order up. Boston is on fire - learn from this.

I’ll just take some incredible luck to pull this out please.

Alright Colson - put us up!

Dig deep Chicago!!! Let’s go white Sox! Whatever happens this game and atmosphere is good for the Sox development. But let’s win this thing!

Time for a mune shot!

Lip - good luck with your surgery

About what was expected - hopefully he takes it up a whole nother level this year. Last year was a huge step-up and he did it playing hurt, would love to see him set the standard and become the best RT in the game this year! Well deserved pay day for Wright!

I think this is well said - I think if you get them, maybe you think in offseason you can do something to improve but in season outside of minor tweaks or pitch sequence changes hard to do much. With Castillo I presume maybe they see some small things that can be done in season but won’t be drastic plus fact that they tout he has been far better since he went back to his normal routine in mid May. I think I heard sub 4 era since like May 15th…which he may have been a bit lucky but he’s also a competitor and he gives innings which they needed big time.

Any quotes from front office regarding their views on him / any tweaks they think they might make (or call it tweaks they think they can make in the off-season to unlock some potential).

I would agree - I don’t like losing him…think he is a league average ball player by my guess is they feel / better about Hays stepping up here?

I think this is Getz showing they are still priortizing development and they view it as Quero still has more stuff to work on. When he got sent down a month ago (and even recently when he was called back up after Teel's injury), it seemed clear they had a laundry list of items they wanted him focused on and hopefully he understands that and continues to work at it. My guess is right now they want to have Bart get the bulk of the reps and they are fine with Romo in back-up setting with Quero continuing to do what he needs to do (and getting far more reps down at AAA).

And we will still win the division and better yet, the Guardians will be out a few prospects in the following year. We'll look back at this as a win ;)

Could still see him in a trade...didn't the same happen with Davit?
