Jake Burger at 28.0 would be the fourth fastest on the Sox after Capra Robert Baldwin. Yet all we heard was how he was too old and unathletic. But at least he always hustled. And Tauchman ranks behind even Andrew Vaughn...which speaks volumes for his value as a mid 30s outfielder.

https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/sprint-speed-team?season=2024&team= White Sox are alsof at 22nd here in average team sprint speed. And Baldwin/Robert are their two fastest...with both having "questionable" at best futures with the Sox. Players ranked #3-8 are all unlikely to be on the team next year. That leaves Vargas at #9 as their so-called speed merchants at first or 3B.

Is Luis Robert suddenly now on the next Sox playoff team?

Just lucky it happened in a conservative state…he would have been suspended in CAL NY NJ MA. Maybe even back in Chicago.

At least we don’t have the Moncada/Jimenez of announcers. Or Lynn…or Clevinger.

Yeah most kids here in China...adults too...preferred the Segway-like stand up motorized scooters. Although bicycles are still quite popular.

Better than 14 and 21 consecutive from last year...yay? Also, very quietly Jo Adell now has a 779 ops. Lower average, but lots of power.

Will the river bed swallow them like a gigantic kaiju?

Sounds like a new Schwinn bike model. Do they still make them?

Now 74+ innings in less than 1/2 season. Threw 94 ALL of last season. This wearing down was pretty much inevitable. Really should shut him down for two full weeks and skip three starts.

Game set match. Smith all the way up to 3.39. Bullpen game again.

Vargas has replaced Vaughn as Sox leader lol. If Smith's ERA goes above 4.00 before the ASG have zero clue who the Sox will send. Greg775 might be right. Sauerkaut...corrected. More concessions up selling lol. 35th Street Reubens.

And then Davis Martin was someone a number of posters were looking to trade at the deadline. That's no longer possible with the long-term injury concerns. Clevinger next in line lol.

Can't let Smith pitch well into 30's for pitch count in one inning. Finally got out of it. Rodriguez has been terrible. Shutout coming lol.

Meanwhile Getz's best plan so far has been Greg Jones. Who can't hit his way out of a phone booth. And now this Baker kid at AAA.

You have to pitch inside though...if you just go for outer half mlb hitters will just dive out over the plate and kill you.

94 was his innings count for all of last season. Starting to wear down and lose his stuff/crispness. Smith must be leading MLB in hbp.

Then they still end up at Charlotte. At least Drury was smart enough to ask for his release.

Teel has to do a better job there blocking that.

DBacks just have too much offense even without Carroll. Their pitching sucks...but so does the Sox offense. Notice it took Michael Kopech all the way from 2018-22 to get his first 18 career starts. Smith reached in less than 1/2 season.
