I’m a bit surprised how many white sox fans are taking Donaldson comments at face value. edit: comments meaning his explanation

That ended up being a darn good Simas start

Those Knoghts unis are very 90s old navy outfit but I kinda dig it

Nobody still hits Simas much but he has t had the gaudy Ks of his first few starts recently.

Ok so this is a fun madden scenario. First, we treat Jason LaConfera as not wrong about everything and it gets worse. Bears trade Quin after 6/1 when his cap hit goes down to just $4 million to one of these teams clamoring for Quinn. They get the rumored con Miller deal of a 2nd and 3rd, but I’ll make it slightly more realistic and go 2023 2nd and a 2024 Third. Bears then trade their 2022 and 2023 second round picks for DK Metcalf and pay him. But obviously could be 2 2nd round picks in 2023 if necessary. Bears WR room with a bonafide #1 suddenly looks strong. Metcalf is the perfect Getsy offense #1. Big, strong and fast. Mooney moves to #2 and Pringle to the slot. St Brown and Jones the #4 and #5. Much better. The defense becomes much more compromised, but that’s ok this year. You have top draft capital hopefully and FA for the trenches next year.

The only person I’ve seen say he retired is still DIck Allen. Doesn’t mean he’s wrong, and he may have been right and a 22 year old changed his mind, but not much I do otherwise. But until Bush actually is in a lineup still hard to know.

Realize my tastes have basically converged to be “Matt Damon dad” culture but I’m embracing it. Along those lines, just read “Project Hail Mary” and was one of the few fiction books I blew through in a few days. Author of “The Martian”.

If Sosa does make it up this year I wish there was a prop bet I could make that Benetti will pull a “Sousa Sosa” routine a la Letterman’s Uma Oprah.

If this is it...can they also please move on from Daryl Boston

Welcome to Klutch

And Martin is a good reason to hang on with those young guys anyway. He was inconsistent but had stuff and showed occasional brilliance, then put it all together at age 25. A guy like Kyle Kubat wasn't going to do that unless he had a huge velo increase. So you are exactly right, get good arms, develop them, pray for health, the cream rises to the top.

This is great. Feels like if his command keeps improving his stuff plays.

Big fan, needs some animatronics though

The White Sox were 18-18. After a disappointing start they strung together 6 straight wins. They then lost 7 of their next 8. Not sure why I looked this up.

I know people get hung up on the number movements but the individual player notes are phenomenal info. Kinda reminds me of when chicago magazine had a list of top restaurants, but they would add notes each month for any they re-reviewed with changes. Nice little blurbs to hold you over until the higher level updates.

They are updating system updates? (edit: I'm referring to their organizational farm system rankings, not rankings within their farm system) I know they are doing team top 30s but I assume mid-year they'll re-do their top 100.

Sacrificing lambs worked

No system ranking updates, I'd assume there is still a big midseason update and maybe that's done there.

I like strikeout 6.

And as a catcher his age doesn't seem that out of place. I asked Matt Eddy at BA for what the reports were on his defense and he replied with an article that Getz/TLR were high on it. That doesn't mean as much to me given the way they spoke about collins, but obviously he at least doesn't look out of place like Yermin or they'd say.

did anyone see Jean Segura's start lol

ACL with the july draft is such a weird league now.

Nice, BA didn’t have transaction date but maybe milb will

Just don’t trade him to the Guardians. He’d be terrifying there

zero walks for a 19 year old, 4 pitches for strikes...I'm in love.
