91 right down the plate…not much to dream on with Ky

Couldn’t do a worse job if you were trying to screw a team over

Idiots probably went off a 2022 scouting report

Vargas is so lost. His hand came flying off his bat on his swing. He’s not a big leaguer.

That ball landed about twenty feet from where Vargas started

Those are gone in Charlotte! Also, had a buddy that went to Memphis to watch the Knights. Montgomery really, really struggled. Talk of possibly calling him up makes no sense.

Lucky no one got seriously hurt

Fletcher should be allowed to use an aluminum bat
-
Fire Chris Getz
Fletcher is a terrible hitter. His swing is so weak. Our scouts have no idea what a good hitter looks like.

This is bad baseball, and this team’s lack of power needs to be fixed (spoiler..it won’t)

Way too much swing and miss

Thorpe update...
You have no idea how bad it is

8/21- Sox at Giants, 2:45
Good for Lee…but man did Melvin manage this badly. Webb was cruising.

White Sox Ace program is great, as I don’t believe the kids have to pay. They get a ton of regional exposure and do a great job developing kids.

Thorpe update...
You should see Facebook every Sunday night. All it is, is bragging, by parents about how their kid’s team did that weekend. Away travel tournaments bring out the worst in the parents, as you’ve never seen so many drunk people in a hotel.

Also, if you want to know another thing that stinks about youth sports, it’s the stats on GameChanger. These poor kids have all their friends and family see their stats, good or bad.

There are so many teams, it’s very possible to find an inexpensive one. Heck, there are some programs that will give you a sponsored roster spot. There’s no pressure at all to choose one sport. I swear that’s just created by travel teams in all sports to get people to play. And yes, if you want to face good competition, you have to play travel. Rec league competition is like the White a Sox of Major League Baseball. I wish all the kids just played for their town team, but in the Illinois area, I don’t blame any kid for playing for Sparks, etc.

Bart now at 1.5 fWAR and Lee at -.2 with some awful framing/blocking metrics
-
8/21- Sox at Giants, 2:45
Baldwin made an out on first pitch in five straight at bats after being patient in game 1
-
Jake Burger trade
He’s just one more asset they don’t have to trade now. As I mentioned last night, they have very little to show for a lot of players moved.

8/20 Game Thread: White Sox vs. Giants - 8:45 CT;
We have no idea what was being offered for our guys. Vargas was someone, like Jordan Walker, they seemingly targeted over prospects.

Thorpe update...
Lots of research out there that agrees with you that curves are less dangerous than max velocity
-
Thorpe update...
The biggest problem for arm health isn’t the innings, it’s the velocity training every program does now. It’s unbelievable how hard these kids throw now at an early age.
