Burger/Burgatron ended up with two doubles and a single... .259/.962 Lindgren and McRae imploded, giving up 5 runs combined in the late innings to blow the lead for the Knights. Rutherford 3/5, he and Sheets have some pretty decent numbers overall, but, it's Charlotte and they're unlikely to throw an unproven player into the big league mix without first exhausting the trade market.

JR didn't kick in the money for the professionally-designed jewelry piece (Machado's $240 million came in quite handy), though. The Sox one was more like a toy in comparison. “Manhattan-based Rafaello & Co. has designed pieces for celebrities such as Jamie Foxx, the Kardashians, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Drake and Jay-Z. The company, popularly known as the “jeweler to the stars,” recently received an order from Padres third baseman Manny Machado. On Saturday, a chain depicting the Padres’ “SD” logo in brown and gold made its Petco Park debut, with Machado placing it on catcher Austin Nola before the postgame interview following the 6-4 victory over the Mariners...”

We just don't know nearly enough to make any firm evaluations of Andrew Vaughn at this point...work in progress.

Goldschmidt was an 8th round pick out of Texas State...I think you mean MLB-level production expected out of that position in line with him, not his status as a "top prospect."

Other than PHing Vaughn today against Chapman...

Hahn, to be more accurate. Most of us saw this coming a mile away. Whether it LaRussa’s move or not, Hahn is the one who signed off on it.

See Game 1 vs. Twins...it will go down like the game against the Rangers in 2016 in Sox lore...or Jose Paniagua in 2003, Thornton vs. Thome, Jamie Burke vs. Torii Hunter, etc.

Wouldn’t have even been a save for Hendriks...but certainly did him no favors with bases already loaded against Judge.

Padres +13/+76 Dodgers +11/+72 Red Sox +10/+47 Rays +10/+44 Giants +9/+47 Yankees +9/+24 Oakland +9/-10 White Sox +7/+64 Cardinals +7/+12 Astros +5/+59 NL West and AL East rule the roost for now...

White Sox undefeated in hypothetical future innings that never happened. Hooray for that omniscience?

Above average hitting and framing catcher...but that doesn’t usually wear well in one’s 30’s. We paid a king’s ransom for past performance, and he only plays 65-70% of the time. Would rather pay a star caliber everyday player $20+ million and go with the likes of a Narvaez, McCann or Collins...invest the savings elsewhere.

Aaron Judge still has never had an actual walk off hit his entire career.

“Spinning” Swag chain custom-made by Machado’s engagement ring jewelers. Also work for the Kardashians and Beyonce, lol. That team is so loose now and having a lot of fun, the antithesis of the White Sox. Worn by Austin Nola and Tatis twice now. Spinning special effect is optional. https://theathletic.com/2608293/2021/05/23/fernando-tatis-jr-s-incredible-return-his-ceiling-and-tommy-phams-production-padres-mailbag/?source=freedailyemail

The only good thing to come out of this game was Vaughn getting a shot of confidence taking out Chapman.

Ruiz pitching with pen rested was worse...and really quite fortunate with Marshall only giving up one.

Too amped up...missing everything high. Have to let relievers start innings clean.

Thanks Hahn and LaRussa. Idiots.

Collins quite sloppy there...

Judge has never had a walkoff hit...

ZERO. Moot. Mute. Whatever...

Hopefully the White Sox can learn from this humbling experience...from 2-1 to 0-3 series, game of breaks not going Sox way ever since Yermin-Gate.

Madrigal had zero reason to make that throw...

7 Keuchel, Abreu/Anderson on throw...3/4 unearned.

Twins up 8-5 with no outs, still hitting top of the tenth...Garlick three run bomb. Judge will face Hendriks...in all likelihood.

Vaughn in RF and Mendick in LF...favoring Vaughn’s arm for right. Although Mendick obviously has a good enough arm for part time SS play. Mendick 87.1, Vaughn 85.6 average outfield throwing velo. Garcia low 80s. Slider. White Sox terrible at preventing stolen bases this year.
