Honestly, his career has been a pretty impressive statement on how much White Sox player development has improved in the last half decade or so. Adam was a day 3 pick in the 19th round who has made the majors and found himself a role as a primary bench OF on a top level team. He and Mendick both following that same path have really been both impressive find and development stories.

Well, we now have two less Ragah's. Thanks for joining us. Again.

If you take more out of the kids who are struggling than the ones who jumped multiple levels, you have totally fulfilled your last sentence.

Well considering Vaughn and Burger's progress this year at much higher levels than they have ever played at previously, I think it is obvious it had value

Since when?

The results haven't been good, but the talent is 100% there.

It shouldn't be though. There is tons of talent out there, but for some reason this group can't throw strike 1 anymore.

1-4 since TLR backed his bus over Mercedes a few times.

Couldn't throw a strike anyway. The entire pen has regressed this year.

They didn't want him going two innings.

Jason mentioned it the inning before.

That happens when you pitch over errors.

Dallas had 2 errors behind him and only gave up 1 run.

Yankees have made every single defensive play this series.

So again, you didn't want Mercedes who was older than all 3.

When does he get thrown at?

Southridge is a tiny little basketball school in the middle of no where. I can't believe they will have a 1st round pick.

A 28 year old who couldn't play defense or make the majors was cool, but a 26 year old who got some run is a bust. I don't believe you for a second.

And which already banned him...

You have have really been pissed that Mercedes made the roster.

I'd rather bet $125 on Giolito than $80 million going forward on Rodon.

No way in hell for me. I would rather lose him than bet that kind of payroll on a guy who has been over 100 IP 3 times since 2015.

1st bold: Tony might not have "started it it" as you so pointed out like a 3 year old, but he was the gas can to the flame. If he let's this go publicly, no one ever talks about it again. But he had to make an example of him, multiple times in public, so here we are. Tony as a manager of over 5000 games absolutely knows what happens when you talk to the press. In fact one could easily argue he wanted this to happen. 2nd bold, great hint at wanting to see violence done at someone with cerebral palsy. Apparently ageism is bad, but handicapped guys getting theirs for having an opinion contra to the great TLR is cool. 3rd bold. Every player you mentioned was old and white. Did you even notice that? 4th bold. What do gold chains have to do with sportsmanship and respect for unwritten rules? What do they have to do about anything in the game? Why is this so important to you? Of all of the recent instances of actual bad sportsmanship that we have seen recently why is this and gold chains the two this seems to bother you the most, and why does it seem to be broader Latin player tropes which keep creeping into your posts instead of actual material matters? Why is it such a poor example to kids to wear gold chains?
