Chris Sale knows.

Nasty tailing fastball to get him!

Pitcher is in his windup and the batter is granted time? Come on.

I can't be too mad at him. At least he stuck with it. Transfer drops happen.

I love his volume and his enthusiasm but sometimes I wonder how he walks a straight line on his way into work everyday. This year feels like a golden age for Soxtalk imo. Software got improved, got some new posters, and the "in house" content via FutureSox continues to expand. I'd love to see a Podcast.

Laughing at the Mets never gets old. The Mets are TRYING to compete and have a worse winning percentage over their last 50 games then the Sox. Think about that! They are so desperate they are signing Chris Beck and adding him to their 40 man. Yikes.

Damn four game series. Getting in the way of my hopes and dreams.

Problem is that's next year. They are well past Super 2 deadline by now. If the Sox braintrust, scouts, instructors, GM, VP, all the way up to JR, determine he's read for the big leagues this season but keep him down for service time reasons -- I for one will be disappointed. It's a hard bridge to sell, at least to me, that the extra year of control 7 years from now is more important than his immediate development.

Curbelo is intriguing, especially with Burger's future pretty much completely up in the air at this point. Thanks for this.

K rate is up 3% and his walk rate is down about the same from his 1/3 season last year. Not exactly a great last month. That said, there is some hope in the batted ball data. His hard hit percentage is up and his popout rate is a miniscule 1.9%. He just needs more reps. Stay healthy kid.

If Dylan Covey keeps pitching like he's been pitching the White Sox have a good chance to win back to back to back series against Division leaders. Wait what?

having average cheap regulars is a good thing. Ask almost every single sox team post 2008, that seemingly could never find enough.

most pull hitters with power will have stretches like this. just gotta be patient, kid doesn't even have 800 PA above AA level yet. but yea adjustments. Name of the game at the MLB level for any successful regular.

then you take that, come on kid.

how did he whiff on that?

tough play, fuck.

Bad swing, that ball wasn't even close to being a strike Him and Yoan floating around the 720 OPS, like to see that raise up to 750 or better come July.

Decent flick, Minnie Driver was quite the cutey in her day.

Is that Robin Ventura like bat wave pre-pitch thing TA is doing new?

This sox team is showing more than 48 win spunk, maybe they might get to 55.

haha even narvaez is clowning them. And Jason, please learn how to call a game.

Optimistic thread tag with Shields on the mound and that Sox lineup.

Disgusting Boston media. Printing all that with zero attribution. Reminds me of Cowley on Kris Dunn slacking because he did three sets instead of four when lifting.

I have no clue. I don't know anything about Byron Buxton other than that he's sucked ass for large stretches of his career. All I know about Yoan Moncada is that he's been very good at times this year and at times he's been absolutely awful. This applies to his defense as well. Add it all up and he's on pace for about 2.5 fWAR -- not awful for a toolsy 23 year old. I wouldn't bet on ANY player becoming a consistent 5 WAR true talent. That is a HOF or at very least HOVG career path.
