That is Buerhle at the Sox/Cards game sucking back a Busch tallboy. Fame and fortune did not change him.

A. If he isn't ready, it could really stunt his growth. B. Service time. Why burn control now in meaningless games they are going to lose anyways, when you can trade that for when the team should be good ? I agree, the team sucks, and outside of watching Moncada, and Abreu bat, and Lopez pitch, it's already becoming very hard to watch. But patience now is key. They picked a lane. Changing now and calling guys up prematurely would almost certainly blow up in their face. We all just have to take it now, and hope it pays off next season or the season after.

Kids involved, you have to bite your tongue. I would imagine that is why the BIL is being a bit patient.

4-2 vs. KC 4-18 vs. everyone else

It also makes sense since he had a little issue with it a few days ago. Seems the injuries of the year are hamstrings, obliques and thumbs.

If someone is going to get hurt running hard to first, you are only delaying the inevitable. They have to play hard at some point or they have no shot of being a star.

Moncada currently has the highest WAR in Chicago.

The full tank rebuild is en vogue now due to the Cubs and Astros, but due to how many teams are doing it, many will fail, and the trend will swing the other way eventually.

I just don't know how anyone can assume if it was padded, he would not have been injured. Maybe that has nothing to do with it.

Trump said it was disgraceful Mueller's questions were leaked. His legal team leaked the questions.

Mike Caruso. Slappy as the Boy Wonder called him. Perhaps the most baseball clueless SS of all time.

Trump tweets a shout out at the thousands who couldn’t get into his rally yesterday, like he does with every rally. Has anyone ever met one of these people.

Trump is shutting down the government in September if his wall isn’t funded. I thought Mexico was paying for the wall, believe me.

Sox going for their first DH sweep vs. KC in 46 years.

As for his future role, it depends what he does from here . The White Sox aren’t going to commit to him long term based on a few games. OTOH, KC pitching can’t be that much worse than the rest of the league. Maybe his hot streak just coincided with them on the schedule. I personally would like to see more consistency, but with the weather, and age of the season, we will need time to determine that. He is doing a heck of a lot better than I thought possible a couple of years ago. But his status a part of the next Sox contender still has to be in the air. Other than the KC games, he is a DFA candidate so far this year. Give him ABs and see what happens.

8-15 with 7 HR vs, KC. 10-61 with 2 HRr and 29 strikeouts vs. everyone else. it is one of the craziest splits of all time.

Giving up a pick when they are short on picks though, takes its toll. Hopefully he is a stud. They obviously need receivers.

Sox 3-0 in KC, 3-16 everywhere else.

Dayton Morre must be in tears. Duffy’s stock has to be a lot lower that it was in the winter.

Trayce Thompson hasn’t hit much yet, but it does amaze me how many horrible teams passed on him for nothing multiple times this spring.

First off, learn to read, I didn’t label him. Secondly, check his peripherals.

I could see it if a guys slipped, but this is a guy who at best is being drafted in his appropriate spot, and it isn’t like the Bears are Super Bowl bound. In the grand scheme of things, it probably isn’t a big deal. But IMO, they are going to wish they had that pick next draft. They need all the players they can get. This is one less.

So many players ask the umpire if they swung at a strike. I was taught to never do that. It sort of gives the umpire the impressing you don’t know the difference between a ball and a strike.

Assuming good health, Lopez’s floor is a pretty good reliever.
