COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
cool stuff cool stuff. I don't know what your point is, obviously yes there are other people in the world and Gottlieb was as prominent as any of those people you mentioned, but the point is someone in fauci's position should have the best data and the team available to be the best communicator and he made a number of really bad mistakes and hopefully in the review of the pandemic we have some thought around what communications and responsibility we provide public health officials and which are better handled by different departments.

2021 Plan for Kopech and Crochet
It is a funny hypothetical. Sox inherit the Ohtani injury risk but he offers - Unbelievable upgrade vs RHP - Another #2/3 starter OR the same kopech spot starter / long man role. Giolito/Lynn/Ohtani/Rodon/Keuchel ? September lineup of Anderson/Eloy/Moncada/Abreu/Ohtani/Robert/Eaton/Grandal/Madrigal hotflashes...hot, hot flashes.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
This isn't true, and I think Fauci should retire because he absolutely did do a number of "noble lies". They were discouraging masks didn't work because they worried about supply chain, which is an example of things a lot of public health spokesman would do a lot this pandemic. Gottlieb was 10x the communicator during the pandemic, despite being on the board for a company that actually stood to benefit which is quite disappointing.

2021 Plan for Kopech and Crochet
Here's a fun one: Would you trade Vaughn and Kopech for Shohei Ohtani (FA 2024).

6/2 Games
There were rumors from sox he had a velo increase that appear unfounded but I thought I remember at W-S he had really regressed to just topping out at 90. Because he's a lefty, he has decent chance to be depth but not someone I think is a 40 man guy this offseason. McClure because of his weird height I think could be a bullpen guy sooner than later.

So...a superstar with control

6/2 Games
I think @DirtySox said he was 93-94 a few starts ago which plays. Hopefully he can maintain late into year.

Luis Robert grade 3 strain/torn Hip Flexor, est. out 12-16 weeks
would love to be the translator for this discussion between doctor and patient.

6/1 Games
Good game for Davis Martin again in WS, and Mieses comes back hitting with a homer in Kanny. Kanny may actually win a game
-
6/1 Games
Mieses and mendoza should add some more capable offense in Kanny. Going from DSL -> Kanny was pretty brutal to BB, but hopefully he finds himself in AZ.

Minor League Catch-All 2021
In case anyone missed it, some movement today. Benyamin Bailey was moved down to AZL, luis mieses was moved down to Kanny were among the more notable. Dawkins was moved down from BIRM to WS.

And thats a White Sox SWEEP!
Nice solid game. Never felt like Sox would lose, and sure enough that seventh when TA got on it just seemed like it was automatic. Felt like 05 in that way honestly. Had fun at the park! Was cold in the shadows and the vendors were a mess but everyone was having fun (esp the bleachers)

And That’s 2 White Sox Winners!
All in all, Sox have done really well with Hamilton this year and Dyson last year (Hamilton obviously has like tripled GP of dyson but still)

So how does the ballpark app food ordering work?

GT 5/30: ORIOLES @ SOX
Obviously we have a great record and great run differential so none of this is shocking but fun to look at fangraphs team leaderboards where Sox are: 1st in hitting fWAR 1st in pitching fWar (bullpen top 5 btw) 6 in fielding This year has been so crazy but even in places where it felt like Sox were struggling (bullpen, may offense) other teams are struggling so so much more. For example, Colorado scored like 10 total runs its last 7 games

GT 5/30: ORIOLES @ SOX
Turns out I was faulty in one thing, this Eloy homer I remembered was in June. I just remember walking to that part of CF and thinking how there was no way it was only 470. That Nats / Sox series was incredible baseball in 2019 and set the nats off on their tear en route to a world series

GT 5/30: ORIOLES @ SOX
My first game. Hurt my head thinking about this. The last time I went to a Sox game: - Ross Detwiler was pitcher - Luis Robert wasn’t yet on the team - Nick Madrigal wasn’t yet in the team - Andrew Vaughn wasn’t yet on the team - Adam Engel had just started to destroy LHP but most still disliked him - Jose Abreu wasn’t an MVP winner - Jimenez had just hit that 600 ft homer some times before - Luis Robert and Jimenez had not yet been lost for year ? - Yermin Mercedes had a 1.000 OPS in Charlotte but most of us shrugged it off - AJ Reed was playing baseball for us... - Garret Crochet was in college but ... TA was leading the way for his batting title, Moncada was having a star season, and Abreu was leading league in RBIs, so some stuff will be familiar. Please TLR, let me see some of the guys I want today
