I’ve thought for awhile, if it’s really a back issue, that Colson might end up at 1st, not 3rd. Less straining to field, straighten, and throw.

Hudson. I don’t care how he liked yesterday. Eisert is opener only and not even that n a good team.

Exactly. Why Eisert? What is Venable doing?

Did I miss where Hudson was tonight?

f*** off Will

What will it take to use Seranthony as setup and Taylor as a 1-inning closer? Jesus.

Another reason why WAR can be a useless statistic: closers generally don't post big WAR numbers, but ask any manager or fan about what corroded their team's confidence, and they'll undoubtedly tell you it was having a terrible guy on the back end. The numbers simply don't match up with the reality.

His swing looks a little like it did before this season. That’s not ideal.

Burke has no feel for the baseball today. Oof.

Bregman should’ve been out but Laz is fat and sleepy.

His hands are busy, and he’s long through the ball. But he sure seems to be able to hit. Hitting velocity is the only question.

I see a hitter with busy hands. Gives me some pause.

I must be the only White Sox fan who simply didn't like John Rooney as a PBP man. Too "trained" sounding and basically humorless. He was on one of the WSCR morning shows (I think with Levine) awhile back, and the guy was everything I remembered: lacking in wit, zero personality, and unwilling to engage in any conversation that would resemble a human being. Calls a professional game, for sure. But not my cup of tea.

Schriff is better than last year, and I think he's put in a lot more work, but he's still pretty unlistenable. But Agrest is wrong that "sac fly RBI" is redundant. There are sac flies that advance runners without scoring them. Also, his mention of Boog Sciambi as a gold standard doesn't resonate a whole lot with me. One's mileage may vary, of course, but I find Sciambi to be cookie-cutter boring. Someone in this thread mentioned Amin, and he's excellent. We had a guy kinda like that (yes, I know his humor was not appreciated by some on the board), and let him walk.

This pick is an indictment of Reinsdorf's refusal to pay to retain our own talent. It's a Crochet-proofing choice, and that sucks.

Pedro would flush it, but first he needs to find it.

Should've stayed in the bathroom.

I'll take Kap over a lot of local hosts, but he's basically a guy who believes in things like the magic of rain delays and the competence of Jed Hoyer.

Wait, did they just say that Ellis learned that he shouldn't be hopping up and down taking his lead? What?

Lemme guess, Kap also said Nico Hoerner is a Hall of Famer. Kap is basically your prototypical dolt Cub fan.

Easy there, Pedro is 4 steps ahead of us all.

I loved Stone: "His ERA just a shade under 7 and a half."

Brebbia's ERA! LOL!

One of the most joyless players I've ever seen. Just a total drag, even apart from his less-than-mediocre performance.

The. Worst.
