Teams need 5 wins. Look at the rest of their schedule 1 somewhat easy game left but that is drive up to Mundelein on a Friday. Every team needs a couple winnable games. Every CCL school now has financial aid of varies degrees for athletes. That is the only way Rice and Marist can compete in 8A.

They play good teams on national television.

And a leadoff hitter...the batting handedness of RR is something It is baffling...the thought process of this organization is simply idiotic. Do they think Ryan Goins is a piece moving forward?

Goins leading off..and in the OF ..... maybe Ricky is really just trying to tank. I really hope his goal is still to tank because there is no reason for Castillo to play over Cordell, Collins or McCann at this point and if Collins is in the lineup this month it should be to catch. Clown car

The Yermin thing baffles me......I watched Goins end that game last night and thought....this is really the best option in the organization that could have 40 men on the roster currently?

This organization is just fundamentally bad. Just about every pop up is a circus, bad approaches at the plate as they never fight off or take pitcher pitches, look at Anderson's defense, it is not getting better or Eloy's. I( ma not certain this organization is doing anything to improve their player development.

Mendick and Collins should play every day. Yolmer is what he is and McCann can use a break. I know both will probably get 15 total at bats the rest of the way. There was no chance Nick or Louis were coming up nor should there have been.

As bad as Mercedes may be it would be no worse than Zavala, Skole, Wellington or Palka this year. There is an annual parade of bad that lingers every year. What do they lose by bringing him up?

Back before divisional play the White Sox had to compete with the Yankees for that one playoff spot. That kind of skews everything.

Juiced ball offsets that for me.

The handedness decision of this org are amazing. IS Skole still hanging around? Actually Cordell helps Charlotte so good for them as not sure Engel or Skole are answers there as much as Cordell. I'd like to see AAA make some playoff noise just to get more time for those guys.

He is but it is a tax dodge, then he can play winter ball and be stateside next spring. This is an easy way to get back into swing of things, literally.

If this is Gio for the next few years...tatis stings much less. The issue with Abreu and to a degree anderson is the OBP is so low that hey will never reach a sabermetric level they could, look at Abreu's OPS.

Nova's deal is not going to impact signing a better starter. If they signed a top 5 free agent starter they would still need a guy like Nova. Nova is a nice back end guy as he takes the ball every 5th day and gives you 6 innings. There are too many Covey, Banuelos, Santiago, Deitweiler starts Especially if Kopech and Cease have inning limits. Even with resigning him they need another starter.

This year has certainly taught us we need capable arms and he is one of them.

Why is Engel playing over Cordell.....I see no upside in Engels game.

So bote at short and happ at second........no Baez? Darvish is pitching out of his mind and castellanos is unconscious as well.

The ole 1-2-3 a pitcher's best friend.

Saw on gamecast that the catcher hit a single on a softly hit ground ball to first base......similar to what happens in girls tee ball I assume

Ryan Cordell is not good but he is a better DH option than Wellington Castillo......this is mindblowing. Almost as bad as Castillo batting ahead of Eloy yesterday.

So McCann caught the second game yesterday and should sit today while Wellington showed again what a disaster he is....oh and he will bat 4th again for some odd reason.

Play Texas and Seattle at home in April. Ton of off days in July, that makes sense.

I think this is a great idea. Really surprised it isn't the cubs and cards though.

Been that way since corpse ball days......terrible org philosophy.....

The Tigers got nothing today for their trades. What were the Sox going to get? Those trades locked down a top 3 pick for the Tigers not sure if moving Colome and Abreu make the Sox that much worse.
