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.

Sox -83 rs/ra Marlins -90 A's -127 Rockies -202

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.

Even the Rockies are leading in June OPS for the NL. Not even sure the Braves would trade Acuna, Jr., for the entire 26 man White Sox roster. Probably not.

https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sprint_speed_leaderboard Outside of Baldwin and Robert... Here's the Sox #3-8 guys Capra Slater Elko Amaya K.Lee Taylor None of them part of the next White Sox playoff team, when/if there is one eventually. Miguel Vargas is #9.

https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/home-runs-per-game Ahead of just KC and Pittsburgh...

Yeah...Meidroth is far from a burne,r but their second fastest/quickest young player, and has made a number of mistakes on the base paths. Baldwin arguably #1 in base running and defensive miscues.

And they're certainly not building around power... https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/nba-finals-is-this-the-arrival-of-a-thunder-dynasty-in-a-copycat-league-okc-may-be-copycat-proof-180924051.html The White Sox will fall to 29th in stolen bases once you strip out Luis Robert's 22 bags. What exactly is their niche? Besides being yet another feeder team for the rest of MLB's contenders? Other than Brooks Baldwin...there's hardly a legit young prospect that even runs better than average. Maybe Bergolla Braden M. and Zavala. It's pretty clear they're not building around power...but why not speed/hustle/defense like Getz promised potential pitchers coming into 2024??? What happened to THAT? Where's our Sam Presti(gious)...? https://bookies.com/mlb/picks/2025-mlb-teams-ranked-by-age-oldest-to-youngest And then the average age of rostered Sox players is nearly 29...with 7 teams somehow below them. No excuse to be right there with the Twins and actually behind the Tigers (same goes for the moribund Rockies too). The A's Nats Marlins are all understandably there...but the playoff-competitive Cards Guardians Rays, too???
