EQ !

Anyone got a website for a webcast for a TV browser without a vpn. Yesterdays game found easily but Sox or A's webcast not on Mlbwebcast. com

Shingo Tasaku predicted Mune would hit 55 HRs. There's a video about it somewhere.

This appeared on Youtube 5 days ago from Perfect Game Baseball about Billy Carlson and his family.

The hype continues after impressive debut.

Nice 1st game of your White Sox career Mune. Always appreciate it against the Cubs.

Winner winner ! Enjoy your dinner !

Braden ! RBI triple with Little Darren Baker on with a walk.

Iriarte decent inning.

Ultimate White Sox fan award. There were a couple I had to look up and then was like "oh yea that's right".

Even with diehard fans I feel that's pretty normal. Even the best teams bring in filler or depth guys for AAA and give them invites to ST. AAA has a massive amount of turnover in the 24+ age group.

Likely true since at the bottom of the lineup card about 15 guys are listed as OFF. Lots of guys to make decisions on. Colson isn't one of them.

The good thing is, while bat speed is important ,it's not the end all be all of professional hitting. It's really important to pulling and power hitting but may hurt you if you have an all fields approach to hitting or as Quero calls it being a professional hitter. Robert had a fast bat and with his strength balls went a long way but recognizing pitches and injuries led to massive inconsistencies. Quero potential is more based on the mental side of hitting, the science behind it , knowing how pitchers think. A lot of times you can have all the physical gifts in the world but the mental part, dealing with failure, making adjustments is what prevents many , many players from taking the next steps. That emotional and intellectual development puts you way ahead of the curve if you have it at a young age. Im not saying he's the better player than Teel. Im just saying they both have a lot of room to grow and need to get as many PA as possible. Id put Acuna , Sosa Baldwin in the same category. Upside high need runway. Guys like Colson and Mune will play almost every day regardless so I'm not counting them.

It just killed me to see so many people suggesting trading EQ. He's so good so young. We've only seen the tip of the iceberg of his talent. All the inquiries about him were about recognizing his talent and trying to get him before he reaches his full potential. I realize Teel is the real deal too. He hit all 8 of his HR's in the 2nd half and his OPS was .833 ! He only had 300 AB last year. He could easily double his HR total. I know its hard to carry 3 catchers but Quero and Teel both need to get 500+ AB as 2 of the Sox most dynamic young players with loads of upside.

Beyond 162 ! LFG !

Fun listening to the conversation between maybe an older brother to a younger brother.But the older one sounds like he said Robert came from Minnesota 😂

This is for anyone getting itchy to see some White Sox home runs.

Yes of course but we 're a long way from that. 3 thing need to happen. 1. Mune has to do well. First and foremost. 2.Mune has to be open to an extension or give the Sox a chance to match any offer he gets whichever situation arises. 3. An honest effort to have him be a part of the core and put a better team around him in order to continue to build a longer term and more lucrative relationship with Japanese players and sponsors. 3 could come in different ways considering that ownership is in a transitory state and it may require the kind of contracts that JR has never given out not only to Murakami but to starting pitchers if that turns out to be the teams biggest weakness in 2 years. Also the team could be in JR's sons hands if JR passes which could complicate signing players while also complicating the sale to the Ishbias. JR has always said keep the Bulls sell the Sox but he's also said that if he's gone that decision is up to his sons. I dont want to put odds on all 3 things going smoothly but I'd put it at less than 50/50 and maybe as low as a 25% chance. There's a slight chance of Ishbia becoming a factor in helping these things happen but that's something I hesitate to mention because right now it's so remote. Oh one more monkey wrench to consider is how the CBA is resolved and if a good portion of the 2027 season is lost to a lockout. Nothing to sponsor if the player isn't playing because there are no games. If Murakami already had a contract for beyond the 2027 season this would not be too much of a factor.

Matt Davidson who played against Murakami talks about him.

1950's style in the folk rock era. Maybe was a Nat King Cole or Sam Cooke guy. I like it ! Could be a Platters guy and liked the classic Smoke gets In Your Eyes.

f*** ! Fuller fixes fast !

Understandable how you feel but JR has never put the cart ahead of the horse. He needs the money to spend the money. Simple old fashioned economics and that was when he wasnt all that concerned about his sons inheriting debt. It's a much different time in his life now.

No big deal, it works both ways.

Hard to tell 🙃 For all I know for all the times artists who get sued for ripping off songs ,you might have been hinting there was some doubt about it that I was unaware .

Not sure what that means. A short term contract does not make Japanese sponsors make long term or high priced committments. If Mune goes they go. JR might be negotiating with Japanese sponsors based on if he will actually extend him. But again we're getting ahead of ourselves. Even if Mune has a long memory of all who didnt sign him I doubt that would prevent him from taking the highest offer unless the Sox offer is similar if it ever gets to that point.
