that had some wicked spin on it

second in bunt hits in AL Seems it's being encouraged strategically by the team....

Angels dodged a bullet there

making Urena work at least

lucked out almost a great play by Peters 11 hits 5 from Peters who supposedly just learned to bunt this season

too much loading in Kelenic's hands to get around on fastballs

belly flopped/swim technique don't try that one at home

Meidroth with some risky baserunning

Crede/Big Hurt special dink to RF

CLE lineup? Bo Naylor has been terrible. 7 ops+ Vargas with another great swing/approach.

92 mph change with high spin rate of 2600

28. Chicago White SoxWin average: 63.2 (Last: 61.3, 28th) In the playoffs: 0.3% (Last: 0.4%) Champions: 0.0% (Last: 0.0%) One thing that must change: Luisangel Acuna's results at the plate The White Sox's outlook has shifted considerably more in the real world than it has in my system and in the betting markets. But when systems miss, it's usually because of an emergent young team, as this one clearly is. The White Sox have a budding offensive identity centered around a three-true-outcomes approach, led by Munetaka Murakami and Colson Montgomery, and that identity will grow once Kyle Teel returns from injury. The improved offense has been undermined by a lack of outfield production and Acuna is in the middle of that -- and not just because he has logged the most time in center field. He just hasn't looked competitive at the plate, too often putting tepidly hit grounders into play early in the count as if he were merely trying to avoid strikeouts. Chicago's options keep getting better, so if Acuna doesn't offer more with the bat, he's headed for a future as a utility player. doolittle espn

Isn't S.Smith also dealing with rotation cuff issues? Seems it's down to Sandlin and rehabbing Mason Adams.

Glum mob? I have been more optimistic than anyone here except for Autumn Dreamin on the Japanese players. Teruaki Sato will be an absolute stud but the White Sox are the going to shell out $175-225 million. They certainly don't give Itoh the first contract for over $100 million...even with Imai's struggles suppressing his value. I guess advocating for a Yoshida/Benintendi flip is being excessively negative. The primary mistake has been misjudging Colson's defense based largely on outdated scouting reports and the back issues from seasons past. Not even you said he was close to a Top 3-5 defender, though.

Even Peters has been in the top half of CFers. 13th vs. Meidroth's 21 ranking prior to yesterday.

Ragans has terrible numbers this year and the success rate long term for double TJS surgery pitchers long term isn't all that promising.

They already have 22-24 owners lined up on the (at least soft) cap side. And the Phils Red Sox Mets Astros cratering does sabotage the "large markets are destroying the game" headlines. Blue Jays scuffling too.

Sure....but almost every one is jumping ahead psychologically to when those players join. Ron starts a new thread every day. Jacob Gonzalez Hagen Smith Braden Montgomery etc. etc. There's a light at the end of the tunnel finally.

Getz Getz Getz we have heard for years now why giving Moncada Jimenez Robert and young pitchers long term deals is a mistake...because of Danks, largely burned once....and Contreras extension after WS right now there's still a $75 million top contract until that changes...over a $25 million spread from #29 let us know Sale Rodon Giolito Lopez Cease Crochet all left or were traded FACT Sale Q Eaton deals/extensions from a generation ago are about as relevant as Albert Belle or Jaime Navarro today

Everyone wants to associate with winning teams. Well, maybe not the Guardians' fans who have been burned by one too many rebuilds/teardowns since the early 00s.

War chest is too big this time. Too much money at stake for both sides to damage the sport like 1994-95 did. Even the bigger market clubs want to reign in Dodgers Mets Yankees Blue Jays.

Not yet ... Fear of commitment until he finds a more permanent home. Cubs are drawing just as many if not more Japanese tourism due to team record, Northshore shopping, historic stadium and Imanaga/Suzuki.
