  1. Again...a Top 3-5 MiLB system is much better than #16-20. Shocking stuff here, certainly. I don't know what's being argued either at this point...that we should completely disregard prospect rankings because many will bust? Or that the White Sox system as it currently stands is criminally underrated because we don't know all the wonderful things happening behind the scenes?
  2. That's one way to market an Insta/Tiktok account I guess. "While it wasn’t a good showing for the Blue Jays after the first two-and-a-half innings and they're likely facing a bullpen game Wednesday, there is some good news for them. They are still a single win away from reaching the ALCS for the first time since 2016, and they’ve got two games to get that done. The Yankees, even after their impressive rally, still have a lot of work to do." yahoo sports
  3. Good thing I have never bet on baseball. Although I can take partial credit for reverse jinxing Judge into a standout game at least.
  4. Ironic that former hitting coach/ex player "Greg Walker" gave Getz his only A so far...😄
  5. The White Sox were last in outing length from starting pitchers in the major leagues in 2025. Part of that was openers, but when you have so many innings covered by one of the worst bullpens in baseball, that's probably not a good thing. 141 starts from regular rotation members and 21 spot starts/openers from the bullpen. Led by 5 from Gilbert...3 Vasil.
  6. "you want the Sox to obtain/develop their pitching prospects to be considered best in the game" They have all three gone backwards in progression if that was the goal. Ofc have to get to at least average starting pitching and average hitting to even have a puncher's chance. Nobody is talking some so-called elite staff right now. Walking before you crawl. But that still leaves speed, defense, execution/fundamentals/hitting with RISP, bullpen, Venable where they have to make up the difference. Somehow. The Twins selling off Buxton Lopez Ryan gets them to fourth place. Probably.

  8. When they could get YGomez S.Smith and Vasil basically for $1 million?
  9. Because they're paying him like a starter to be a middle reliever/situation and pitcher. Check out that contract. Big bucks for the Sox.
  10. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/mlb-postseason-tv-ratings-soar-as-wild-card-series-averages-record-4-6-million-viewers/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjE--2ox5OQAxXZYvUHHSQ3AYkQ0PADegQIBxAD&usg=AOvVaw0oOkh_PO_px-rIl1NsR-hV Post-season ratings up to 4.6 million viewers "The four series in the opening round of MLB’s postseason set viewership records and saw huge spikes in interest among younger viewers. In total, the 11 Wild Card Series games -- all of which aired on ESPN networks -- averaged 4.625 million viewers. That’s a 64 percent increase from last year’s Wild Card Series and the highest average for the WCS round since the current format was officially added in 2022." mlb.com
  11. Reminiscent of the days when nearly every postseason game went 3 1/2 to 4 hours...
  12. Chisholm just loves playing in NY.
  13. Varland's brother briefly with the White Sox...
  14. Blue Jays determined to let Yankees back into this one... Series back on. Thanks Barger.
  15. Blue Jays determined to let Yankees back into this one...
  16. Jared Kelenic getting lots of air time for originating the whole Big Dumper nickname...😄
  17. That would certainly be more FUN than another Private Equity celebration. Blue Jays didn't execute rundown well. Trail runner shouldn't ever reach third there.
  18. Maybe the Yanks aren't dead yet...
  19. MLB desperately needs Dodgers in the WS at this point with Mets and Yankees out. Dodgers/Mariners perhaps most ideal.
  20. Well, being in the middle of a family vacation and with a 13 hour time difference hard to follow every single game lol.
  21. They're planning to start him and not just pitch him out of the pen? Isn't Uribe now functioning as closer?
  22. Bellinger not looking like a GGer on that play...would possibly have been a DP at second had he caught it.
