Giolito down to 91-92. Nearing 90 pitches. Last 2-3 hitters here for Lucas. 94 followed by 81 mph changeup.

Well, the obvious positive is that it's not the RIGHT shoulder, but you just wonder if he's going to end up having season-ending surgery. Surely, we can have SOME good luck after 12 seasons without a single playoff appearance? Might as well add EE to the headline. Left game for Collins due to an injured right shoulder. Vaughn or stay with Collins? DH Mazara and start Engel in RF?

THIS SEEMS FAMILIAR. You don't get a break with this White Sox line-up. Well, except for the bottom two spots for now.

75 pitches. Six more outs until Josh Hader Time. Served a 98.3 MPH sinker out there to AVI. Nice piece of hitting, worked the count as well...

Hope Juan Soto doesn't get hurt dancing on top of the dugout...

Are they allowing full-out collisions at home again? Have seen a couple already this week. Guess the Posey Rule is suspended with him sitting out, lol.

No feel for it unless you throw it more than a handful of times per game. (See Cease, Dylan.)

Gamel's one of those pesky hitters who always seems to come up with the clutch hits. Oh, well. White Sox have had so many opportunities tonight, especially that inning where Madrigal/Robert should have been 1st and 2nd with the heart of the line-up coming up.

Morrison definitely looked to have a slow/slider speed at-bat. Nomar Mazara flashing the leather. Ranged a LONG way to RCF, Robert wasn't going to get there without diving all out for it.

Rosters are going to stay at 28 for entire season instead of ramping down to 26 in two more week's time.

1 Royce Lewis Minnesota Twins Shortstop JSerra Catholic High School (CA) 2 Hunter Greene Cincinnati Reds Pitcher Notre Dame High School (CA) 3 MacKenzie Gore San Diego Padres Pitcher Whiteville High School (NC) 4 Brendan McKay Tampa Bay Rays First baseman/Pitcher Louisville 5 Kyle Wright Atlanta Braves Pitcher Vanderbilt 6 Austin Beck Oakland Athletics Outfielder North Davidson High School (NC) 7 Pavin Smith Arizona Diamondbacks First baseman Virginia 8 Adam Haseley Philadelphia Phillies Outfielder Virginia 9 Keston Hiura Milwaukee Brewers Second baseman UC Irvine 10 Jo Adell Los Angeles Angels Outfielder Ballard High School (KY) 11 Jake Burger Chicago White Sox Third baseman Missouri State Some of those teams might want a re-draft. Gore on the verge of coming up. McKay has debuted. Then Wright, Hiura, Jo Adell debuts tonight. Haseley got some at-bats last year as well. White Sox bad draft luck there in terms of positioning. Two stars right in front of our slot.

Great play by Hiura, who was always known most for his offensive game. Saved a run there, too.

Take a deep breath every time Luis Robert is diving headfirst into a base.

81/85 fastballs/change-ups last start. Robert is a WALKING machine. He passed Tim Anderson's rookie season total already.

White Sox just re-signed Alcides Escobar. (Hope that's not the headline tonight, seems he left the organization in less than ideal circumstances anyway.) Will be pretty shocked if they don't at least try to sign a veteran for the pennant race. It's not a development year. They'll go with Leury when Anderson is back, but they also need Leury as a back-up outfielder (not quite as much now with Mazara back, pushing Engel back into his nature role.)

Too risky with a previous TJ surgery and our revulsion for long-term pitching contracts. 3-4 years seems to be their comfort zone, 5 is REALLY pushing it.

Avi Garcia's throw from CF was at 91.8 MPH...no official word from White Sox clubhouse on Madrigal as of yet.

Magnum PI Mendick (catch the "double" detective reference in the second part of last name, to match the moustache) Not to mention the other obvious connection, with MR. BASEBALL.

Korea was right. I'll blame the Brewers' announcers for that one. That's the Avi Garcia we all know and love, haha. Sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield.

Josh Lindbloom starting against Gio Gonzalez THURS in Chicago. Two lefties. Put up amazing numbers, I think it was in Korea a couple of years ago before coming back stateside.

Garcia put a good swing on that one. They're #1 starters for a reason...

This sounds like a Promise Keepers testimonial/witnessing from Ben Zobrist...

Have to replace Madrigal already in fantasy...had to dump Ian Happ because hate having Cubs on roster. Sigh. Btw, Padres' brought up #2 pitching prospect Luis Patino, they're not messing around, with Davies and Lucchesi struggling at the back end of their rotation.

5/15 hitters have put first pitch in play against Woodruff...definitely the plan to attack early in the counts.

Great, now Encarnacion's clutching at his LEFT shoulder area. Bring up Vaughn, lol...
