? Holy smokes. Haven’t kept up with ACL as much. Quezada has big power but he has been striking out a TON. Strikeouts in 24 out of 42 PAs.

And loidell chappelli on the board with his first home run!

Seby has been older in every level. Guy turns 29 in a month. And when he stops hitting, he is a k machine. I’ll take the same power in a much better package.

Definitely Engel, possibly Eloy, would like to know more on Hendriks

Wow, what a write-up: ”• On Tuesday night, I caught the White Sox’s High-A affiliate, Winston-Salem, at Baltimore’s affiliate in Aberdeen. Winston-Salem featured shortstop Colson Montgomery, Chicago’s first-round pick in 2021 out of an Indiana high school, who has been outstanding at the plate at two levels so far this year as a 20-year-old. He’s had two hits in four of his seven games so far in High A. I did not get to one of those games, although he did have one hit, so this isn’t a Luis Robertsituation, but he played the hell out of shortstop, with a quick first step and a plus arm, making two good plays coming in on softly hit balls. His swing is good, if sometimes long, and he did show he could pull his hands in to shorten up and stay inside the ball. The big question about Montgomery in high school was whether he could hit better pitching, since he hadn’t done so as an amateur, but so far the results are very, very promising.” https://theathletic.com/3398959/2022/07/04/phillies-nationals-orioles-white-sox-prospects/?source=user_shared_article

Interested to see the roster today.

Hard to believe in these 35% k rates from Zevala allowing him to be productive. I think Perez has a 1:1 BB:K ratio, and his power seems at least equal to Zevala.

So Perez’s “slowdown” seems like it was just an injury he healed from rather than him being found out. Glad Zevala had a nice game today but no reason we shouldn’t have the best guys up this month.

Also can never figure out resumes games but there’s a 3 hit game for Ramos there in game 1

Just gonna mention this. Home run #11?

Absolutely INCREDIBLE race

This just feels like Lewis’ race

Oh my gosh the crash looks terrible for Zho. Hope he’s ok

Yeah I also thought this was likely lol

Loved that this happened to Richie and he’s like “gotta post this to so talk!” Lol

Sheesh start a game thread on my phone and this is the thanks I get!

We got our first Chappelli homer! https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=07/02/2022

It’s Vuc’s last year, and they’ll find out more how far this core can go with more legit depth. They are ducking the tax for no reason at the moment.

Great report on Ramos

0-4 3ks. Total jinx

Tough this KD stuff. Obviously chicago can't put together the best talent package for him, OKC could. So it would need KD to say I want chicago, and he hasn't said anything so etc etc. I still think Gobert is a good move. It doesn't solve vs. all teams but certainly helps vs a team like philly/bucks. Should also help vs. Miami.

it is very risky but does seem like one of those things where a player like AD could be injury prone until he isn't (like embiid now being largely ok). But also he could be completely toast like Dwight Howard.

Ah, sorry. Extra credit to Hahn for trying. The sox farm is very bad. It's bad because there is a complete dearth of pitching depth and depth in general. It is nice they have players you named, but other teams also have players. And you rank 30th by comparing the teams to other teams, not just being impressed that they have players. The sox eventually need to beat other top teams, not just previous versions of themselves.

Worse from you since the games were actually being played before midnight for you. I had to look it up. I think I only remembered because of bill simmons tears on twitter.

Zach giving a verbal here...is there any flexibility added by waiting to sign his deal?
