Adam Haseley, former first round pick of the Phillies.

and Cueto as a steadying presence with a WS ring to match Cain and Pollock.

That's not enough to override TLR's influence. Pollock won a WS title two years ago, but veteran outsiders are going to have a tough time breaking up that Cuban Connection, TA7, Giolito and Hendriks core of leadership...they're kind of stuck in neutral.

If Kopech’s knee discomfort is going to limit him, not seeing a very realistic path to chasing down two teams now that seem to have the White Sox number at least in the early season…

Pollock would be on second and not driven in by INF GO 99.8% of the time as well…crazy bounce there.

https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/giants/watch-yermin-mercedes-epic-celebration-after-being-claimed-giants Mercedes will head to Triple-A for now, but it’s not impossible to see him playing a role for the Giants later this season. He’s a bit redundant with righty Darin Ruf, but the rest of the San Francisco bench leans left-handed. Mercedes crushed lefties last season to the tune of .339/.386/.523 in 70 plate appearances. He did not bring the same oomph against same-handed hurlers, however, hitting just .246/.307/.360 in 175 plate appearances against righties. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/06/giants-claim-yermin-mercedes-off-waivers-from-white-sox.html

Jordy Mercer would barely hit three in an entire season…Ryan Newman, similar.

He’s not a rookie, but the whole handedness thing. Zavala at least hot recently at the big league level. Not that Pressly is easy for even the best hitters.

Haseley overmatched and couldn’t get down the bunt. Gave up a strike before attempted. Just never really felt they believed that they could come back.

Art discussion? NFT's? MLB players moderate the Louvre, Hermitage and London Gallery of Art. That was....something.

Just like David Ortiz. Altuve gets away with his due to his short stature and personality...

You expected Henry Winkler? Unfortunately we need more Ted Lasso.

Just call him Bull...but not Luzinski.

If it was MIN/CLE they would both get played up as the big underdog/Cinderella stories, of course.

You're underestimating TLR's trust in Harrison/Leury over Mendick. Haven't seen a throw like that from a Sox catcher in a decade plus.

Youtube, Apple, CSN Chicago, ESPN/2, MLB Network...WFLD? ABC Chicago?

The singer or Haseley? Of course we are going to get an ultra confident Blue Jays team after they ended the Yankees' win streak.

Well, back to Charlotte you go. Looks like the sunlight is really bothering the hitters still. Thought he was a bigger guy. Looked similar to Scotty Pods.

Must be left over from Julio Franco.

Sigh. Low energy there. OU 1B lucky he didn't break his neck.

Well if the Sox go to 5 ALCS consecutively with one WS title they will have their own cartoon intros, too.

Can't believe Burger didn't score on that. Must have thought it would be caught.

Or Moncada. Turner is reaching the end of the line, so they'll need a 3B...assuming Turner goes elsewhere and then Lux to SS.
