Funny Jacob Gonzalez fact for me is his place of birth is Glendora, California. My high school sweetheart moved there and after my divorce, I moved there, got a place with her, and for a while thought I’d have a movie like romance story to tell. She was a cheerleader for the LA Kings. It only lasted a few months before I figured out that even though she was on Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition calendars, she was the most insecure woman I’d ever dated… which says a lot. 😆 I bounced after strike two. Clearly a response to the above...well, we already had a board war over being married/having a child validating one's successful existence in the last week or so!

Didn't they already announce the J.Gonzalez call up?

Also, 2013-2016 in Sox baseball annals was more accurately a "retooling on the fly" simply because JR didn't want the big league team to bottom out...which is eventually what transpired in 2017-18 because there just wasn't enough depth/resources around that quite solid core. In many ways, it was sparked by the Dunn/Danks failures and later by M.Cabrera/LaRoche and the Eaton/Sale mutiny under Ventura...and of course the ill-fated Shark and Shields trades that were both attempts to sell off youth for current year competitiveness, instead of sounder long range strategic planning.

The White sox are currently mediocre. The difference is, they were so bad that the expectation was lowered by many fans. The two bozos Cali referred to led the White Sox to a Top 4 overall record in the majors from 2000-2012 and still easily Top 50% in the majors if you combine it. together with 2013-2022. The White Sox aren't guaranteed anything yet. Mune doesn't have to stay in Chicago. Odds are highly against it, unless the Sox have to double their payroll between now and 2028. And the highly rated pitching depth in the minors has been decimated by injuries/non performance. Offense puts butts in the seats, but elite pitching usually wins out in the post season. See 2000-2004 Sox baseball. Right now, Martin and Taylor are the only two elite arms, with Burke somewhere in the middle. And Sandlin is still a massive question mark. The scouting report will get out quickly and he'll have to make some adjustments. This is, in the overall scheme of things, just the beginning of the second day at Gettysburg.

Sure, but look at how the Rays Brewers and Guardians get their pitching. The majority are not first round draft picks. Their prospects come from various rounds, and they all do a great job on the international side as well. Just think if the White Sox even produced 50% of what other teams get of the Dominican. The Dave Wilder Effect has lasted nearly twenty years now.

Yes, you learn that quickly dating models/influencers or cheerleaders. Do I look pretty today? Everyday question. It's a good test for a man's security/insecurities...that's definitely for sure. You find out if someone's looking for the bigger better deal pretty quickly. Provide too much freedom...basically complete freedom and you can drive yourself crazy, but controlling/possessive behavior ends up much worse. If someone doesn't want to be with you or feels they might be happier with another person...best to move on and let them go. 98% of the time nobody else will be able to make them happy either...not if someone is struggling internally to be happy with themselves. Ofc it's hard for people to realize the "me" problem, not much self reflection until it's far too late to go back and put things back together. Another mistake is assuming having a child will necessarily make them a better more caring unselfish empathetic person. Posittive elationships with parents are a key.

Highly unlikely.... You'd have to check the earliest flight he could have gotten to Chicago after being pulled from his game.

At least 3-4 from this list were technically still rookies too Addison Reed 99% sure a rookie closer Hector Santiago 2 games 2011 D.Axelrod Z.Stewart D.Veal J.Marinez (Ozzie Guillen trade)

https://www.baseball-almanac.com/yearly/debut.php?y=2012&l=AL I seem to recall at least 11-12 on the 2012 team. Maybe it was just rookies versus AL/NL debuts. With Jacob Gonzalez's recall, the Sox are already up to 11 this year and we're hardly past the 1/3rd of the season mark. , 20 Jordan Danks 2012 Chicago White Sox 06-07-2012 25 60 Deunte Heath 2012 Chicago White Sox 09-01-2012 27 58 Pedro Hernandez 2012 Chicago White Sox 07-18-2012 23 65 Nate Jones 2012 Chicago White Sox 04-08-2012 26 48 Brian Omogrosso 2012 Chicago White Sox 07-03-2012 28 62 José Quintana 2012 Chicago White Sox 05-07-2012 23 52 Leyson Septimo 2012 Chicago White Sox 06-29-2012 26

Ron, we don't even wish those kinds of injuries on PCA...even if half or mostly jokingly. At any rate, the biggest test of the season is coming up. Let's see how they respond to a taste of real adversity. For the Tigers, they just might end up with a haul of prospects for Skubal, and the Twins might get to select Lackey.

The Oregon State coach extolling the greatness of Madrigal was the last one I believed. Roch tanking to go to SF lol?

Tilson....must be watching Tom Hanks movies.

No he needs a lot more developmental time than Witt Jr., McGonigle, Griffin.

Winning is all that matters at this point. Melton has a good arm and had been a capable reliever. Maybe they are still one year away, but this is a totally different team with Teel and Braden lengthening the lineup.

Maybe this finally gives Jacob Gonzalez his shot to get that hot bat into the lineup...somehow they keep pulling out wins, but the margin of error just keeps narrowing. And at least it's not an oblique.

True Blue LAMiguel Vargas heads four Dodgers prospects in Baseball Pr...Third baseman Miguel Vargas is one of four Dodgers ranked in the top 101 prospects in baseball by Baseball Prospectus.For those saying the Sox Cuban Connection was dead and buried...Miguel Vargas says not so fast, amigo!

Who is the scout that was right on with the Vargas call? Most important acquisition of Getz's regime...or Meidroth/Teel/Braden. Or Mune lol. "plenty of evaluators I spoke to across the league on Monday loved Vargas' hit tool, which has earned plenty of 60 grade (or better) projections on public lists. But broadly, if this trade goes down as a crucial victory for succeeding years of White Sox baseball, it'll be because their scouting and analysis identified three young players who have their arrow pointing up before the public, and even much of the industry, was appropriately bullish on their games. Since on the day of, rival evaluators were using descriptions for the White Sox package like "light," "weird," or "one of the weaker trade returns for highly sought after players I’ve seen in a while." The irony is that it was not hard to elicit plaudits for Vargas, who should immediately get the everyday at-bats in the White Sox lineup that were never going to come as readily with the Dodgers. Nor is it hard to get upbeat reports for 19-year-old A-ball infielders Jeral Perez and Alexander Albertus. It's simply that their ceilings and the risky paths that lay ahead for reaching them don't line up with the expectations many had for a package centered around Fedde, who is second in the AL in bWAR among pitchers and only a third of the way through a very affordable two-year deal."

Vasil one of the "stars" tonight.

Tonight? But a lot depends on Murakami's right hamstring...and Kyle Teel, as well.

There won't be many answers before the trade deadline except bad contract guys. Hicks going back to starting...? Peoples or Gowens. No easy solutions. McDougal and Hagen are miles away.

Nishida just doesn't have enough oomph to drive that ball over the infield...

We've come to expect the worst with these injury situations...always start out quite innocuously.
