Heasley had over a 7 ERA his draft year out of OkState. Threw every pitch at different arm angles and control was non existent. Bumped velo from 92 to 94-95 touching 96. So both low (13th round) and Singer #4 overall from same 2018 draft.

Or listen to Beckham...had to turn off that feed. Ugh.

Dozier now 4/58 against Sox now lol. Pollock for RF when he can't play LF?

Might be Singer and Davis Martin for Gm 2, depending in the weather.

Cueto >>> $18 million for Keuchel.

Undoubtedly had a 5-6 player trade proposal to being Rafael Palmeiro back to the Cubs...

Who on the Sox staff would prefer to pitch to him rather than McGuire? That's very telling...if pitchers can't confidently go with breaking pitches, it cripples them when behind in counts.

Is that a result of the AL Central being so bad or the White Sox playing better? We were absolutely crushed by the Yankees. We have played relatively well against the Rays Angels Mariners and that sweep at Boston certainly stands out. Eventually the defense will get better when TLR finally starts learning he has to replace Grandal and Vaughn late each and every tight game late. And the bullpen statistically has to start doing better like the 2021 version after April.

When in the entire history of SoxTalk has one actually been honored? What is the bet, Abreu ends the year with a sub 600 ops? You're going to hedge that and push that up to 650 or 675 at the very least. At just 600 or higher it's a sucker bet.

Not good for Graveman but a competent LF gloves that two run double. Benintendi ball hit hard. Cueto was crafty...just enough velocity to be surprisingly effective and more Ks than I was expecting. Got out of a really tough situation to end 6th that looked like it should have gone to the pen but gutted it out with two runners on.

Robert didn't even hit that ball on the sweet spot of the bat. Bo Jackson-esque.

Watch out Ron...Jose Abreu is coming after you.

Let's see how Cueto pitches outside the AL Central first. At least he brings some veteran confidence and swagger to that spot. But we should dominate the Royals not be just 2-2 against them.

Have to become A's Tigers and Royals fans these two weeks. Minnesota up 2-1 Bottom 5 in California.

On the plus side the last two blown saves have led to Sox victories...crosses fingers.

Hendriks 9/12 in save opportunities...feels a lot worse than that overall.

Let's not tie the Red Sox with most blown saves here with a double.

He's been relatively hot recently lol showing confidence in him?

Witt Jr. the ghost runner for KC.

McGuire finally coming in on defense late in a game. Should have done the same with Vaughn.

Like Buxton, MVPs if either can stay on the field for 145-150 games in a single season.

Pushed Barlow too hard...had a four out save Friday night as well against the Rockies.

Until Hendriks does something crazy to re-rile the fanbase. Seems about 50/50 he gets the save.

We could actually use the Cubs' version spelled that way...Hendriks.

No no Lewis Brinson.
