There's calculated AGGRESSIVENESS...and then there's whatever that was.

Abreu and Davidson have the same exact 881 OPS right now....

https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/nothing-but-positives-about-white-sox-38th-round-pick-matt-klug/ Well, who says there aren't any uplifting, feel good stories in sports these days? Liking Hostetler more and more everyday. “[Losing my parents] kept me humbled. You know how valuable every day of life is.” White Sox scout Kevin Burrell suggested the selection of Klug, who was drafted in the same round as Mark Buehrle in 1998. While Klug won’t actually sign and play, his selection has been in the works for weeks. “I was on a plane reading an article [about Klug], and it really struck a chord with me,” Sox scouting director Nick Hostetler said. “Kevin was fully on board and we wanted to make sure it was something Matthew would be encouraged by. To do something to help a kid who has been through what he has, you’re proud you can do it.” When Burrell called Wednesday to tell him he had been drafted, Klug broke down in tears. “I was speechless,” said Klug, who will get a jersey and other gifts from the Sox. “My coach knew it for about a month. What I’ve gone through, it just meant everything to me.”

We've been talking A LOT about players declining at age 33-35, but Zobrist's putting up an 840 OPS, fwiw...granted, he's benefiting from getting the best possible match-ups with opposing pitchers, but worth noting there are anomalies out there. Meanwhile, Q's outdueling Aaron Nola...didn't see that one coming. ERA almost back below 4.

Basabe's almost 22....time to see whether he can handle AA. Would expect an average in the .220's or .230's out of him for those first couple of months before he can make adjustments.

White Sox pitching is 50% of it, although he's had some really underrated seasons offensively (cumulatively against all teams)...

Can we all contact Joe Torre or Randy Marsh (Director, Major League Umpires) and stage a "mass e-mail protest" of that CB Bucknor call???

Wish Harrelson was doing this game...."You gotta be bleepin' me!!!!!" He should be allowed to go out in some type of "blaze of glory" (minus the involvement of the Sheen/Estevez brothers).

That called strike against Moncada didn't even look close at MLB At-Bat...

How many total bases has Escobar had this series against the Sox so far? Escaped with only one run surrendered, but Santiago's going to be lucky to go 5 at the rate he's currently slothing along at...

48 pitches and still just 3 outs?

Only 13 more days before Jimenez is "freed" for AAA ball...

Jose Rondon usually gives you a good, professional at-bat...

Not playing Palka against a RHP from his former organization is like Molitor choosing not to play Escobar against the Sox... UGH...he's actually one of the most interesting hitters on the team right now. Sure, Moncada/Anderson/Davidson/Yolmer are more important, but give the kid a chance to exact revenge on the team who let him go in their own stadium.

Beck has also done fine...Bummer should be allowed to try closing for Charlotte for 4-6 weeks.

I will not support Biden until it comes down to Final 2. Those are not compelling or sincere reasons to support Harris. Schultz will have more of a Rand Paul, Kasich, Perot niche role...on their area of expertise, and bringing it to the forefront of the conversation.

Eaton’s value went sky high because he correctly moved from CF to RF, played it at close to a GG level and racked up a boatload of assists.

Nellie Fox, Bill Mazeroski, Altuve, Pedroia, Biggio....all had the same issue and did pretty well out there. Mookie Betts is 5’9”. You could have left Mike Morse at SS...does that mean his height stops more balls than Anderson’s lateral quickness and leaping ability? No way.

Volstad the next to go or Bummer to get more work in Charlotte?

0/6 2 k’s, bb

But Madrigal came back from injury and hit .406!!! In all seriousness, is anyone watching on MILB or watching live and can give some feedback about how he’s looked defensively and his running times to 1st base?

Not according to Rabbit’s “gender fluidity” definition....

Bust. Cut him. Get back the $63 million. Robert, have a feeling, is going to be really streaky this season...at least he’s making contact.
