Dick Allen

He made 29 starts, and pitched 192 innings. What is your over/under for Kopech starts and innings next year? Seems the White Sox know what they are doing with this. Their track record vs. other teams, seems to be pretty favorable. And, if his DL stint was at the beginning of the season, what did that have to do with increasing innings?

Chris Sale went from 71 to 192. Jon Garland went from 140 to 200. John Danks went from 139 to 195. Once he gets to the 140 mark, I don't think the extra means much. Besides, a lot would have to go right for Kopech to pitch 180 innings in 2019. Probably no missed starts, and making longer starts than he did in AAA.

Abreu might have hurt a leg there.

Maybe Kopech has rubbed him the wrong way or something, but it seems it would take a perfect game with 20 strikeouts for Kopech to impress him.

They are setting you up for not minding Zack Collins defense.

It is what he didn’t say. He had kind of slammed him before, when Jason was going over his recent stretch, Stone was silent.

I get the impression Stone is no fan of Kopech

He saved 3 runs, so whatever he does tonight, he kept it a game.

Offensively or defensively?

I do not know what kind of reliever Covey would make. Out of the stretch he has been pretty bad.

I get the runner at second would get a bigger jump, but you have to have Covey pitch from a wind up as much as possible,

Stone just mentioned it. The key will be when he goes into the stretch. But so far, so good. It would be nice is Covey became useful in some way.

You can mail it to the prison. He could probably use a pen pal

A couple of 1990s articles penned by Mike Pence claim the President needs to have more moral character than a typical citizen. Having affairs and lying about it is grounds for impeachment as long as that President has a D after their name. They are all phonies and hypocrites.

It really does, especially when you think Dunn missed 30 games, LaVine missed 60. Laurie should be coming into his own, and Parker, it seems the over is free money . But then you realize, there is no such thing. If they don't go significantly past this number, Hoiball will be over in Chicago.

Vegas over/under for the Bulls win total: 27.5

He should. I read Keith Law last year state the DSL is slightly higher than US HS baseball. This guy is in his 20s.

If the White Sox ever have too many good players, I will do cartwheels around the entire concourse. Attrition will take care of a glut, if there ever is one, it always does.

Leury should probably be playing CF most of the time these days, but he can't stay healthy, and they need him to fill in other spots. Of most of these guys, he's the one who can survive the roster crunch when and if this team gets good.

It's pretty much down to trade Avi, or send one of Palka or Delmonico down. I have no idea if either has options remaining. But if they don't, too bad.

A lot of twitter users are offering the same to the NRA after they claimed they are nearly broke.

Ultimately, it most likely won't matter. Nicky looked like a pretty good hitter last year, has kind of regressed. Palka is pretty much HR or bust, and Davidson is almost exactly what he always was, but he has added some walks. I would rank Nicky #1 on this list, probably Davidson #2 because he is righty, and Palka #3 as I think eventually they will figure out how to pitch to him where he doesn't hit so many HRs. But it's tight, and IMO doesn't really matter, although it will be an interesting decision if no one is traded or injured and it comes to it. I think from a sustainability perspective, Palka is probably lacking.

What kind of responsibility will the WH take when something actually does happen to a journalist as a result of all the Trump/Sarah Sanders BS? I guess I already know, none.

So you think Palka has passed Delmonico? Nicky would probably be the odd man out. Or Davidson. They have to keep Leury. Unless you want to see Engel even more in CF. And dont get me wrong, I am not suggesting losing one of these guys is going to be very painful.

He’s a weird dude. That story about the McDonalds All America game was weird, and he played it with a Tribune reporter until he finally told him he couldn’t run with it because it was BS.
