2022 Rule Changes
This is interesting. I’ve probably caught between 20-25 balls during my time. Once , 4 consecutive games. I haven’t got one since pre Covid, but I have got them at Guaranteed Rate, Minneapolis and Wrigley, and the balls the Sox used were muddier by a pretty large margin.

Crochet hoping to be a starter
Between HS varsity, college and pro ball, Crochet has a little less than 300 innings under his belt, and arm issues at least 3 times, one surgery. Anyone who thinks he qill be a quality starter are way too high. He probably misses most of next season. Just hope he's not one who comes back and sucks. A lockdown lefty reliever is still a win at his draft slot.

Same for LH starters throwing 95. It's his motion that screws people up.

Crochet hoping to be a starter
130 IP in 3 years of college with 13 starts. Already with several arm issues. What makes anyone think he could possibly hold up as a MLB starter?

Anderson back, Moncada to IL
Probably didn't make a difference, but it could have, and for what? Do the White Sox believe hammys are 2 day injuries? If they do, they are wackadoos.

Anderson back, Moncada to IL
It took way longer than it should, but they made the right call.

Hahn Meeting With Media Today
They hold out the hope for Moncada probably because Hahn failed to pick up a LH impact bat. It was needed when Moncada and Grandal were healthy but theycheaped it out and went with Sheets. RH really had an horrific offseason.

It's almost as if the team who says it's WS or bust, is trying to save money by constantly playing short and not calling up a minimum wage guy.

Hahn Meeting With Media Today
Especially when they know Moncada tends to struggle when he's not near 100 %. If they play him in a couple of days is there anyone except the White Sox thinking he won't be favoring it, and won't either suck or hurt it worse? If I'm JR I would sit the strength and conditioning guys, the training staff and KW and RH down and tell them if Moncada doesn't go on the IL, but has a another issue or a continuing issue with the same hammy, heads are rolling g. He would be ILd in 10 seconds.

It's silly. Moncada is hurt and unavailable, yet they would rather play short for at least a week so they could possibly bring him back before 10 days. Just do the inevitable and IL him.

Sox got down to 13 pitchers last week. So Moncada goes on DL or Harrison gets DFAd or Haseley goes back to Charlotte.

6/19/22 GT White Sox @ Houston 6:08 Kopech vs Javier
Big Energy makes way too many plate appearances when the Sox absolutely need something from the at bat.

The Astros own broadcasts aren't as Homer as this one.

These 92 mph heaters are concerning me. Although no one has hit him hard yet.

6/17 G/T White Sox v Houston 7:10 Chgo Time lift off
I just don't understand why that has anthing to do with it, although I am sure you are right. The object should be to win the game not get Gio to his max pitch count.

It might work out, but there is no reason Gio should still be out there.

Cubs 2022 thread
I read where the Cubs have yet to win a game this year in which they trailed by more than 1 run.

What’s Vaughn’s offensive ceiling?
Maggs is up there as one of my all time favorites. A couple of Maggs fun facts, he did a workout for Houston, but they weren't impressed and didnt sign him. He had a workout for the White Sox and the Sox scout was hours late. Maggs waited and got a contract. And the White Sox did expose him to the rule 5 draft. Nobody took him.

Nice Membership, Soxtalk
Is that dinner for 4? I once worked with someone who couldn't say 69 without saying dinner for 2 afterward.. It was funny the first few times.
