Buehrle>Wood

A+ post, but Blake Rutherford is somehow playing major league baseball as it stands right now.

I was wrong in saying Moncada. Was certain it was him given his sports car collection. It's not Robert either though. It is Dylan Cease with the upset here.

I was in Wrigley, not in the game. There were actually a ton of Sox fans out and about. I was surprised. Saw 0 confrontations.

Almost certainly Moncada.

Sure but you drove a lot of that dumb discussion. Beating rivals is important. Not the most important thing, but important nonetheless.

...on a night mr overachiever Jake Burger went 3 for 4.

Why am I in wrigley right now

He's sick apparently.

But again, it's for during games. Like aside from this weird exact situation where the Yankees happen to be visiting, why would someone go drop their kids off at Sox stadium at 6pm at night (assuming the Sox are even at home)? That doesn't make any sense.

It's just for during games. Why would there be a pool set-up for somewhere you're not going to be?

ESPN ranks him #2 prospect in baseball

Way to hustle Eloy.

The return is the least of my issues with the trade but yeah. I keep hearing the line "sold high!!!" as if it means anything. You got a single minor league pitcher for a quality position player with years of control. Maybe not a poor return but certainly not an overwhelming one. The sold high stuff is just buzzword crap given how little discussion there is on the return itself. Just because you traded a guy while he's having a good year doesn't actually mean you sold high.

But it's dreary, windy and rainy right now.

I don't even like pitbulls. That said, there's no way anyone actually cares about any of this.

Nickname

The White Sox subreddit certainly does. I don't know what part of the fanbase they are though. Edit: Hahn only though. KW they despise.

Well his wife seems to think it's a MLB deal. That would surprise me.

Burger slashing .278/.366/.472/.838 since joining the Fish. Eder meanwhile has given up 9 ERs in 5 IP. Early returns.

Nice swing oscar

We're spoiling the Cubs. It's all good.

No way would I give him anything near that but I guess someone will.

Where the hell is Katz? You know what, probably better off in the dugout

Someone has to eat innings at some point. We're already running out multiple guys with like 6 ERAs in Charlotte. Shaw is apparently Mr Willing by all accounts.

It's awesome we're finally going to have excellent 5th starter depth next year. Now just need a 2nd, 3rd and 4th starter to compensate.
