8-23 GT: Sox @ Cubs (1:20pm)
At a minimum he should not be batting 2nd...if you dont hit for mendick in the 9th he should be hitting second. Anyway it's a loss you live with. Great weekend

Should have pitched around him again. How does Hendricks give the Cardinals such fits

Did he pitch around Abreu?

My hope is that Mendick just has the natural baseball ability to pick it up. Mazara is a waste.

This is Mazara's last chance. If he can't hit Hendricks he serves zero purpose. I never have faith in Lopez. Hopefully this is just an opener on short lesh.

Moncada gets three of next six days off is how I see it. He has injury issues so no big deal. Sucks they do not have a better infield option at this point.
-
8-20 GT: Tigers @ Sox (1:10pm)
Delmonico is a better option sadly.

Steve Stone was on the SCORE at noon today and basically said you let Giolito decide who his catcher is. Great interview.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
Private schools are better at this as they can control every aspect of e learning and can pivot quickly and can engage faculty to assist in the transformation. In the Chicago area for public schools this is not the case. Public school district faculty and administrators have nobody to answer to if they fail. Many really didn't do much over the summer as that is what they were used. In early August they then tried to figure it out. The ISBE IDPH and governor gave little hope. CPS and the CTU are an embarrassing disaster but nobody cares. In the end for me it has been and always will be the fact that is no middle ground in this country and still 5 months into this thing we can't all agree that we should wear a mask and put proper protocols in place to get back to school. I believe education is essential and now it is viewed as being non-essential. At this point educational officials treated this as such all summer because of a complacency of school administrators and unions. Where was the union input in May, June and July to partner with school districts. Schools can be opened safely if people really wanted to put the work in to do it. I feel the public school system in northeast Illinois rewards complacency far to often. There is zero accountability and enormous salary and pension hand outs for putting in little to no effort.

I was going to start a thread about Burger. That is great news. If he could become an asset that would be huge. This lineup needs some more balanced OBP guys.

Dunning Optioned; Delmonico recalled
Maybe they are realizing Mazara is not that good. I kind of wondered why Delmonico had not been brought up when we were short handed in the outfield. Also Delmonico is a late inning replacement for defense and LH bat so he makes some sense. As far as Dunning, it allows him to get whatever work he needs in a taxi squad game next game as opposed to RR using him in the wrong spot out of the bullpen.

My son is going to campus next week. It is a small rural setting faith based school. The information they have sent out and their plan is incredible and may just work. The issue is there is no testing before you get to campus. While they can essentially create a bubble once students arrive there is no way to determine their status upon arrival which is what is hitting these schools.

White Sox Appear Headed to ESPN 1000 Next Year
As stated earlier I like them on a sports radio station as gives the station more reason to promote them, Seems like every person in the cub organization has a spot on the Score.

Dunning to Start Wednesday
Based on timing it could have been Gonzalez

WHITE SOX WIN!!!
Is Burdi down on velocity or did Coop fix him. Sometimes Coop fixing a guy is like fixing a dog.

Did Roberts ball land on the concourse?

Awesomeness

8-17 GT: Tigers at Sox
Burdi is still working his way back. Having him go one inning is best.
-
8-17 GT: Tigers at Sox
Burdi is a great boost especially if Bummer can come back soon.
-
8-17 GT: Tigers at Sox
Mendick seems like a guy that could.

8-17 GT: Tigers at Sox
Starting to absolutely hate mazara right now.

There you go!

8-17 GT: Tigers at Sox
This offense is beyond hard to watch.

8-17 GT: Tigers at Sox
Giving away way too at bats. Hopefully Gio doesnt implode and can give 6 innings

8-17 GT: Tigers at Sox
Grandal at DH and McCann catching is better for today's lineup and that is not open for debate. After the game there could be a debate but EE and Mazara are doing nothing nor have either ever done anything for the White Sox to warrant blind faith in them. Sucks on Engel.
