I think when it gets to be a month or two, at this stage of the rebuild, you should keep an eye on service time, it's silly not to. There are situations you can't say no, but IMO, we aren't close. Now it is all about hurting his feelings or pissing off a fanbase that is sick of losing almost every night. I think a few wins here and there will quiet the calls for Kopech and Jimenez.

I don't see the consistency of a guy who is ready for the major leagues. Let him work on it. Next year around tax day call him up for good. He will have all of 2019 to learn. If that isn't enough, he probably isn't a stud.

If Kopech was dominating AAA, I would probably agree with you, although there are many cases where that simply was not true. It's hard to come up with a player who spent too much time in the minor leagues that it hurt him. It's probably happened, but would be hard to quantify. Kris Bryant, didn't hurt him. George Springer, Carlos Correa, didn't hurt. Gleyber Torres, missing a year didn't seem to set him back. If these guys are stars, an extra couple months in AAA isn't going to harm them. In other sports, I'm sure Lebron James could have played in the NBA when he was a sophomore in HS. He still was pretty good his rookie year, after spending a couple more seasons vs. high school kids. If Kopech is so fragile keeping him in Charlotte the rest of this season and a couple weeks next season is going to really hurt him, there's a pretty good chance something else will come along much worse and derail him anyway.

No he won't. Republicans would never remove him. If the exact same crap were coming out about Hillary right now, the proceedings would have already begun without any charges from Mueller. But Trump is a victim. Why should he be held accountable for anything he's ever done?

No chance. "Republicans" love him. He has an R after his name. That's all that matters. he doesn't have to truly be a republican.

Which was obviously going to be the result. Sure some Walmart employees got one time bonus of up to $1000 if you were there forever, most got about $250. But people who weren't spending the money they have got thousands of times more than that. And the deficit created will lead republicans to cut other programs non rich depend on to survive, but fuck them. They didn't inherit a ton of money, they are obviously useless.

There's a tweet for everything. Apparently China still doesn't respect our leaders North Korea is reliant on China. China could solve this problem easily if they wanted to but they have no respect for our leaders. 4:33 AM - 30 Mar 2013

Who would have known?

Looks like Cohen is going to sing. The tweets should get entertaining soon.

So let me get this straight, illegals are pouring in even though border patrol is doing a great job , so we need a wall. The economy is better than it's ever been. Ever. Although in every trade deal, and in all alliances the US is being ripped off beyond belief. We do have to spend more money than ever on military, although the smart, funny, talented dictator of NK doesn't like military exercises in South Korea, so those can be stopped, because, they are expensive.

POTUS

North Korea, China and Russia love Trump.

Yes, but the White Sox wouldn't go by stats alone. They would know if he's getting by because his pitches that would never be swung at are being swung at in a lower level. I don't know what good having the same thing happen over and over and over again is doing. Maybe if someone is swinging at his crap he gets some confidence, and might be able to throw strikes on a more regular basis. Something has to change, eventually.

I think his test site was messed up so he couldn't use it, so he figured he might as well play nice for a while., and get stuff for nothing. Hotels in NK? Kim will be long gone before that could be a tourist attraction.

Trump NK Golf club would be sweet. The 2 dictators could play a round. It would last about 5 minutes with all the holes in one.

Besides actual pitching and throwing strikes, the other thing Giolito needs to correct, unless somehow he becomes a superstar and hardly ever allows baserunners, is how teams can run him off the mound. Catchers don’t have a chance.

The game is different now. It's always been as long as you can hit the gas, you can play forever. It wasn't bad when guys were throwing 90-92. Now that its ticked up significantly, once you hit 32 or 33, most guys are in trouble.

Pedro Gomez reporting Ohtani will need TJ, and is out until 2020.

Yeah. We see how many times Moncada got rung up this weekend on pitches that weren't strikes. You have to figure in AA, it's probably worse.

Pretty much every team other than GS and Houston that isn’t tanking, is in NBA hell.

Jason either has no idea what he is talking about or lost track of the score.

If Philadelphia picks a guy because the White Sox like him, they need to fire their entire staff.

He has all the talent in the world.

It was a bad throw by Moncada, but Anderson’s toss to second made that happen. Little League defense that inning.

Frankie Montas is pitching really well lately. It looks like he lost a few pounds. I know the Sox were very concerned he would balloon. I don’t think his knees are all that sound.
