Fall/Winter Ball: Week 3
https://www.mlb.com/news/white-sox-prospect-jake-eder-shows-growth-in-arizona-fall-league?t=arizona-fall-league-coverage Here is an excerpt from the above article on Eder. Made it four innings. Four runs but three in first. Talks about working with Dodgers pitching coach. Think he was 93-96 pre TJ and much less post surgery/foot injury so maybe this is an improvement "Eder, who was working his fastball mostly in the 93-94 mph range, said his ability to incorporate his lower half more consistently changes everything about his repertoire and how he uses it. His fastball spin efficiency was better, giving it more ride up in the zone. It helps him keep his slider and changeup on the same plane, leading to better command and more deception. Feel for pitching can often take a while for a pitcher to find following a long injury layoff, but for Eder, it's less about the ball coming out of his hand than it is the efficiency of the delivery."

Fall/Winter Ball: Week 3
With Montgomery removed from a game and then missing the next game, I hope there is not a serious injury. Think he had played every game prior so maybe just a rest and precaution? Anyone hear anything?

After JR
How crazy that after 20 years of payments, the owed debt on soldier field is 640 million instead of original 398! What interest rate and who grants a loan knowing the payor can’t/won’t make normal amortized payments? Government bs again in making numbers ok short term and kicking the payment can down the road. No one gets to buy a house that way or run a business that way but let’s just put the cost on our children and grandchildren.

41% decrease in viewership
I had the MLB ticket. Few past mid May and not sure of any after watching Robert and Benitendi let a ball land between them during a no hitter if I recall correctly.

Game Posts
Well the end of the minor league season has hit while I was traveling and no Sox affiliate made the playoffs. Interest has unsurprisingly dropped off with football starting. I don't know if AZL will have threads but I just wanted to thank everyone on this board for contributing and helping this season. Despite the dreary season, people kept it civil over here and thanks all for that.

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/23/2023 https://www.milb.com/scores/all/all/whitesox not looking good for seeing the Sox play Sox in Fenway today with my wife and son and his girlfriend . Stadium tour before may be it. Sitting in the rain might not be quality bonding time but probably will provide future stories.

The few, the proud, the masochistic! I see a shirt lol. Tomorrow begin a trip to DC and will meet my son in Boston to cross a Fenway Sox vs Sox game off the bucket list. Yeah when I got the tickets this spring wasn't expecting this........

Merkin teases possibility of a Clevinger reunion in 2024, Kopech in rotation next year as well
I think multiple things can be true. 1) Clevinger has been our best pitcher and he may be a scumbag. 2) I know that custody battles bring out the worst in many people. Two doctors were divorcing. The dad had to put his son on the stand to refute his wife's claims that the bruises in a picture were not caused by him but actually when she fell down the stairs. Putting a kid in that situation is awful and she was a child psychologist. 3) Not an attorney disclaimer. I don't think Clevinger was cleared. Criminally, they decided the evidence was unlikely to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I don't know if a civil suit has been filed where guilt is, I believe, established by a preponderance of the evidence which is a lower standard. I don't know MLB's standard. Innocent would be established if he went to trial and was judged not guilty or his accuser admitted lying. 4) Baseball, like the world, is filled with a wide variety of people. Many are unsavory, awful, and scumbags. Baseball usually cares more about performance than character. 5) Clevinger has been our best pitcher and he may be a scumbag.

Before I quit caring, I reach the point of "anything we get from him via trade or at the MLB level is now a bonus".
