47 walks, 10 hbp and 11 wild pitches in just 70+ ip. Btw, Baretto has 4/5 career homers against the White Sox, because, of course.

Giolito just hit 96 for the first time this season...couldn’t have a Lucas outing without a walk.

Rutherford on fire again. Robert 2/5 with two singles, sac fly and wrecking havoc on the basepaths in his early W-S day/s...

He was developed by the White Sox from start to finish. Carlos Lee, Durham, Crede and Rowand are the best examples from that era, if you don’t count Cameron or Konerko. Then a huge void with Chris Young probably the best in career fWAR.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-pushes-back-against-border-separation-furor-191259017--politics.html Trump has long chafed at the media's treatment, his fury only growing in the past week when he felt that he did not receive proper credit for his summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. He told the Trinity Broadcasting Network, in an interview with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee set to air Saturday, that he found the news coverage "almost treasonous." Some conservatives seized hold of the migrant photo faux pas to attack the media, and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted, "It's shameful that dems and the media exploited this photo of a little girl (Time Magazine cover) to push their agenda." Other Trump allies have gone even further. Ann Coulter, a conservative pundit, said Sunday in an interview on Fox News that kids at the border were "actor children" who were "given scripts to read by liberals." Coulter then turned to the camera and said to Trump, "Don't fall for it." A number of Democrats aggressively pushed back against Trump's claims. Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont said Friday that Trump's assertion was "bizarre" and that the border patrol processing center he visited in Texas in recent days was "nothing short of a prison." Trump has really gone off the deep end now...the more antagonistic and cornered he feels, the more likely we’ll start seeing a continuing stream of mistakes in the tariff wars and foreign policy. He just doesn’t get the fact that immigrants (legal and illegal) are no more or less likely to murder someone than a “regular American,” and the majority of studies present evidence they’re less likely to commit murder because their status is already so tenuous. How many of these Mexican immigrants have shot up a school, church, theatre or concert venue?

Do we really want to commit to putting Davidson back at third? Delmonico? Leury Garcia? Ryan Cordell? Skole? Someone has to play over there...

Eaton is the other one...you could argue our best developmental approach was acquiring DBacks not named Alex Cintron.

Better to trade Leury Garcia then...he’s less important to the team chemistry.

The A’s announcers just pointed out how often the Sox defensive shifts are getting beat as well today...

Just Semien and Eduardo Escobar. Tyler Flowers has been pretty good for the Braves when healthy. Jose Martinez of the Cardinals played for the Sox minors well over a half decade ago, started career with Sox (son of Carlos Martinez.) Daniel Hudson, Addison Reed, Boone Logan, Devenski...obviously Gio Gonzalez. Montas, Bassitt, J.Guerra.

“Steel pricing is usually relatively stable,” said Al Rheinnecker, CEO of American Piping Products in Chesterfield, Missouri, which distributes steel pipe to numerous industries. But “since April, you can quote something on Monday, and if the customer doesn’t buy it right away, you may have to raise the price on Thursday.” So far, Rheinnecker has managed to pass along the higher costs to his customers. He’s not sure how long that will last. The Commerce Department is allowing companies to request exemptions from the steel and aluminum tariffs — if they can show that the metals they need aren’t available from Americans producers. The department expected 4,500 requests. But it’s been overwhelmed by more than 20,000. This week, it said it has processed just 98 requests so far, approving 42 and denying 56. The rising tensions and the chaos surrounding the steel and aluminum tariffs are starting to generate pushback on Capitol Hill. Senators this week grilled Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. “As you consider these tariffs, know that you are taxing American families, you are putting American jobs at risk, and you are destroying markets — both foreign and domestic — for American businesses of all types, sorts and sizes,” said Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. Economists and trade analysts worry that there may be no way out of an all-out trade war between the United States and its most vital trading partners. “The president has been so belligerent that it becomes almost impossible for democratically elected leaders — or even a non-democratic leader like (Chinese president) Xi Jinping — to appear to kowtow and give in,” said Philip Levy, senior fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and a former White House trade adviser. “The president has made it very hard for other countries to give him what he wants.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/president-trump-struck-first-blow-074241907.html

It’s going to be telling whether Renteria forces the team out for extra defensive practice tomorrow after the long DH today/tonight...

Should have been another error....probably on SANCHEZ, but Abreu didn’t play it (the throw) well at all. Now nobody’s covering second base, lol. What else can they do wrong today?

https://amp.mlb.com/282378308-white-sox-supportive-of-reynaldo-lopez.amp.html Not sure what to make out of Anderson’s laughing, but it is what it is at this point...

Mental error # what this season? Maybe it’s the players...not Guillen/Ventura/Renteria. Not sure which is worse to contemplate...that we are terrible at evaluation, probably. It would be nice to believe another staff could magically fix things, but how realistic is that? Everyone remembers how well the 2012 team played for Ventura on defense for most of that season...then it all just went south for the rest of his managerial tenure.

Except the party apologists who are betting their retirement assets are better off with GOP policies...are quite different from the Trump Forever crowd who would excuse him shooting someone (especially a liberal/elite/member of the MSM) in the broad light of day at 5th & Broadway. On the other hand, liberals quickly turned on Franken when multiple allegations came out...Otoh, with Roy Moore, Trump just kept doubling down because they thought he could still win. Then conveniently ran away from accepting blame when he lost.

For as long as I can remember, it has been Bob Rosenberg. You can try, but it will probably not have the effect on scoring you wish for...although hard hit balls almost always go to the advantage of the home team player. Sometimes the front office staff might even say something, but they’re probably not going to appeal their own scorer’s decision to NY.

Either a umpire’s wife, fiancée or gf....Rosenberg is too old to have a wife Moncada would actually be pursuing!

You can still play the game the right way. The fans deserve that much, at least. Proper fundamentals, full effort. It’s not just Moncada and Leury. Engel earlier in the game threw to 3b when he would have had to make a perfect throw and the trail runner reached 2b. Little things like that add up over the course of a season. I don’t know if Jirschele, Vizquel or McEwing can do any better...but if one of the top 5 defenders of all-time can’t make an impact, this rebuild is in serious trouble, because we will be right back to those 2000-2004 teams who win by slugging you into submission. Maybe that’s going to have to be good enough, if the Sox can make it to the playoffs in 2 out of 4 years again.

8 runs, 1 earned for Shields...that has to be some kind of modern day Sox record, doesn’t it?

Moncada needs to be sent down if he keeps this up defensively. He has to earn his playing time. 11 errors, and most of them have led to big innings and lots of extra pitches. Leury should have been pulled from the game as well. No excuse for being lackadaisical, complete lack of effort and focus.

Because waiting two more weeks would give newly-drafted players only July and August to play (short season teams) in their draft year...assuming they signed quickly.

OSU big chance here to blow this game wide open...

No Greg. Try Watergate, 1968, Civil Rights era, etc.

Rutschman actually did something bad for a change...but will surely get an opportunity to redeem himself later.
