"Shredding against International League pitching in possibly the country's most hitter-friendly ballpark at an advanced age is very far from a 1-to-1 comparison to major league production. But even if this is simply the minor league heater of a lifetime, since Elko is still rocking a 28 percent strikeout rate that threatens to elevate upon promotion, it comes alongside meaningful swing decision improvement that has made the Ole Miss legend's well-known contact issues less disqualifying. "He's putting together all-around quality at-bats," Chris Getz said. "He's always hit the ball hard. He's actually increased how hard he's hitting it, and most importantly, how often he's doing it. He's certainly leading the organization in home runs, and I think he's at the top in minor-league baseball."

https://www.mlb.com/gameday/astros-vs-white-sox/2025/05/03/778066/preview Benintendi Robert Taylor and Thaiss should all be in the lineup. Going with 28-32000 attendance unless the weather is really bad again...day game though. Looks like 47-50 degrees, partly sunny with 10 degree winds for this one.

Unless we luck out with a bidding war between 2-3 teams AND also are willing to trade him inside the AL Central this time around...probably for injured Luke Keaschall lol.

RS/RA...might need a closer after 2025 20 Tie. White Sox/A's -20 (9-23, but expected w/l 14-18/1-8 one run games) 22.Rangers -24 23.Cleveland -26 24.Toronto -30 25.Nats -36 26.Pirates -43 27.Baltimore -46 28.LAA -55 29.Marlins -56 30.Rockies -80 (6-26)

Liam Hendriks

Up until two weeks ago we didn't know he was even going to turn his season around...or end up as anything but another version of 2024 Moncada. Half of us wanted to hold on and roll the dive that he would be productive AND not injured...the other half wanted to dump him for the best possible deal out of ST.

.346 .469 .731 1.200 ops last seven games .845 ops last 15 games Tied for second with Elly de la Cruz 13 stolen bases

Hunter Brown is probably going to be a big dose of reality tmrw but we shall see.

But we have Greg Jones...who hits better than Amaya, slightly.

Taylor finally comes through tonight...

M&M's guy is back Windy City limos

Brilliant strategy lol

why are you hunting for Amaya?????

Uh oh Leasure getting another shot to hold a lead... Can never manage to have a clean inning seemingly.

Uh oh Leasure getting another shot to hold a lead...

Robert up to 668 ops...

Another Robert walk battles back from two strikes. Scott held the ball to the last possible second. ONeil Cruz 14 steals...two tonight Elly de la Cruz and Robert 13

13866 for fireworks freezing your butt off night.

You're missing the Mets/Reds part of Seaver's HoF career lol.

No no no Measure please. Taylor having a terrible game.

Sasaki just hasn't had his A fastball all season long since Tokyo Series...

Mitch Keller has killed Paul de Jong and now Tatis Jr. Sheets 276/800 4 hrs 14 rbis

Wilson has been a pleasant surprise...along with Vasil. Vargas strong play there. Amaya Meidroth Sosa across infield now.

Lol. But likely no more Robert. He's still the one player capable of being a star with this franchise...and maybe just maybe Braden Montgomery. You're also forgetting Rojas Tauchman ofc Benintendi back playing everyday all have to return to team eventually. Beni already returned. (Not sure about Slater.)

Most naturally gifted player of my Sox lifetime dating back to late 70s. Run scored before backpick throw got Rodgers. Meidroth with smart play instead of wasting throw home.
