It wasn’t quite as bad as Benetti made it out to be...probably not a strike when they show the replay. Keller will be toast at this current rate, anyway.

Keller can’t get anything else besides FB over...sit on that Yasmani. Cal Eldred, flashbacks to that 2000 Sox team in the first half especially.

Would prefer no Moncada injuries...

Hurting.

Not Hamilton, Engel or Robert? For Hawkeroo, definitely Ray Durham...

Always (seemingly) gets those RBI’s...

Love to see Moncada accepting oppo singles rather than trying to pull those pitches...

Keller has a slight resemblance in terms of shape to Kevin Appier...

I think Burger might have an even bigger arm...it’s quite close. (this, of course, doesn’t indicate a desire to replace Yoan)

Or Mon/Wed/Thurs getaway games...but I guess the “insidery” nerd in Benetti is quite excited to have an Athletic reporter tuning in.

That was a strike...

Benetti, no other games going on in the sport right now...what do you expect?

95 mph is better than his recent FB velo...at least right out of the gate.

Because, like patriotism and hunting/fishing...

Hunter “Don’t Call Me Terry” Dozier on an 0/30 run...yikes.

Billy Duran Doran, really? What’s next, Save A Prayer? The Taylors will never be forgotten, nor Simon LeBon...

Based on the old it’s a double header so he has to start at least one game theory? What about the ride the hot hand...don’t fix what isn’t broke theory?

Look, the White Sox need an outfielder and the Angels are going nowhere this year for the usual reasons. How about the Angels loan Mike Trout (trade to the Sox this year with an automatic trade-back clause after season’s end)? Let the man win a ring. They can have Yermín Mercedes for their trouble. -- @fluffsbanker This is my favorite question of the week. For starters, this would be shot down by the Commissioner’s Office in about three seconds. I like the creativity, though. While Mike Trout would seemingly have a better shot to win a ring with the White Sox this year, would it be a lock? Also, given his salary, would Chicago trade Yermín Mercedes and his five-plus years of control for a few months of Trout? That’s kind of a fascinating question, actually. Trade Deadline questions, possibilities (mlb.com)

That sounds like either a challenge or ban bet, dear sir. Gotta keep these moderators on their toes. I’m sure he will pretty much 100% ignore your entreaty but have some type of witty retort.

The grammar police are never properly appreciated for their understated role in society, and message boards in general. KyLlE must have been in Model United Nations or done a legal internship back in the day.

One of those many White Sox what ifs. If Francona was promoted to Sox manager back in the 90’s...around the time of Bevington, how our trajectory as a franchise might have changed. He certainly was the perfect fit for most of his tenure in Boston, as well as with the underdog, under resourced Indians.

One of my favorite books growing up...as an English major. But it hasn’t quite aged as well as others on second reading as an adult, revising student extended essays on ‘ol Holden. I could honestly say The Autobiography of Malcolm X and No One Here Gets Out Alive (Jim Morrison bio) were much more influential.
