https://www.mlb.com/news/white-sox-express-confidence-in-prospect-colson-montgomery “The intimate environment we can create here in Arizona,” Janish said of the benefits for Montgomery's reset. “Fuller is down here with him, working the last couple of days, and then will for the next few days, as well. Just give him a chance to get back to neutral is a good way to say it, and really allow him to take a breather. To be clear, the intention is to get him back out to Charlotte sooner than later for sure. “The response from Colson was pretty mature. He hadn’t performed the way he knows that he can. This is an effort to remove him from the environment briefly and reinsert him hopefully this coming week and give him a little bit of a fresh start with going all the way down to the daily routine and just getting him into the mindset of just competing every night. “Just grinding out four really, really tough at-bats every single night, making the pitcher miserable,” Janish added. “Using his skillset he’s really good at, which is controlling the zone. That’s the philosophy behind it.” He’s going through regular daily work at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz., in terms of taking ground balls, lifting weights and continuing the workload from a running standpoint, but he’s also doing extensive cage work with White Sox director of hitting Ryan Fuller. “It’s not necessarily about having success in Charlotte. It’s about getting him into a position where he’s confident and comfortable enough to compete at some point this year, he’ll go to the Major League level,” White Sox director of player development Paul Janish said during a Zoom prior to Chicago's 8-3loss to the Astros on Saturday at Rate Field. “That’s what this is about, right? We still have a great deal of belief in Colson.”

Nobody higher than Bergolla's 785 ops at "hitter killer" Birmingham Pallette a questionable #10 prospect without even a closer's profile at the moment 147 .444 Wolkow

Think the Orioles might be able to use Kyle Stowers about right now? StowersRF 5 2 2 6 0 1 .324 .944 100 .354 Sox can finally acquire Joc Pederson !!! Marcus Semien barely over 500 ops too

PCA has gone absolutely insane...9 homers now Ahmed Rosario to play SS clearly the better/cheaper choice instead of Josh Rojas (which is the obvious hindsight call now)...everyone ripped Rosario's defense, but nobody can equal Amaya's offensive ineptitude Nationals already had CJ Abrams too 268 /727

"Over 3 1/2 years ago, Astros center fielder Jake Meyers tore his left labrum while scaling the Rate Field wall in an ill-fated attempt to rob Gavin Sheets of a home run in Game 4 of the ALDS, sidelining him not only for Houston's playoff run but also the first three months of the following season. On Saturday, Meyers exacted his long-awaited, brutal revenge. Houston's No. 9 hitter smacked two homers to left, a game-tying two-run triple past Brooks Baldwin making his first start in center, and a wholly unnecessary RBI double off Jared Shuster in the eighth to set a career-high with seven runs driven in." soxmachine.com

Who was the sponsor...RJ Reynolds Corp?

Tatis Jr. just made a series of highlight plays to maybe steal the game. Deked Canario into a double, stole third and then stole home on a ball into the dirt that squirted no more than 3-5 feet away from Joey Bart. Bednar didn't even have time to get to the plate...Bart attempted to dive for him at the plate. Announcers comparing to Rickey Henderson and Jackie Robinson...lol. https://www.mlb.com/padres/video/david-bednar-in-play-no-out-to-fernando-tatis-jr https://www.mlb.com/gameday/padres-vs-pirates/2025/05/03/778065/final/wrap

The Comet is headed to the big leagues. Infielder Hyeseong Kim, whose first name translates to "comet" in a Korean dialect, is being promoted to the Dodgers from Triple-A Oklahoma City to make his Major League debut, the club announced on Saturday. In a corresponding move, infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman was placed on the injured list with right ankle inflammation, retroactive to April 30. The Dodgers signed the 26-year-old Kim during the offseason after he spent eight seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization. Kim batted .304 or better in every season from 2021-24 and stole 20 bases in seven consecutive seasons

Still prefer Matt Davidson…

At least we succeeded in making Jake Meyers the mlb story of the weekend so far...so there's that. Barely 20000+ for a sunny but windy early May 50 degree Dick Allen bobblehead giveaway day? Did they cut the number given away to 1000 instead of 5-10,000???

Winning on turf in TB was always going to be a massive chore. That just vanquished any hope at all.

TBH Colson Montgomery coming into OD as the starting SS might not even have bumped you 300 fans with how poorly he looked and how hard he fell from the majority of Top 100 prospect lists. Otoh we have stabilized at losing just 5-10% of the remaining fanbase per 100-121 loss year rather than 15-25% tranches due to something called Mathematics/Statistical Probabability.

https://www.covers.com/sport/baseball/mlb/statistics/team-bullpenera/2025 Should be bottom 3 after today...feels worse. This FG writer deserves a reward for accuracy. "When I try to picture “Justin Anderson” in my mind’s eye, I draw a blank. I do not think I know this Justin Anderson, who went a half-decade without appearing in the major leagues. When he resurfaced last season, he was basically the same pitcher who had kicked around Triple-A for the last five years. Sure, he was throwing his fastball a tick harder, and he added a cutter that he occasionally threw to lefties, but the basic structure was the same: An excellent slider he throws roughly half the time, and almost no command to speak of. The heavy slider reliance means he’s effectively a ROOGY, unable to reliably retire left-handed hitters. In the intervening weeks, Mike Clevinger, who is projected for a 4.67 FIP and -0.2 WAR, moved into the presumptive closer position. The less said about Mike Clevinger, the better. Penn Murfee’s sweeper is a beauty. Fraser Ellard throws hard from the left side and gets pretty nice depth on his slider. Tyler Gilbert can limit hard contact against lefties. James Karinchak is around, for some reason. There are some bright spots, namely Shane Smith if he doesn’t crack the rotation. But this is quite clearly the worst bullpen in baseball." Booser also throws hard and provides a great human interest story for perseverance...but not always well. Jordan Leasure the most polarizing at the current moment. Along with having FOUR lefties...a seemingly excessive amount by at least one or two. Vasil Rule 5 clearly the most effective on paper at least. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2025-positional-power-rankings-bullpen-no-16-30/

Sale Giolito Crochet One does not belong.

Getz said July in his interview.

Lol. That was deliberately written in a vague/opaque way to cover any possible eventuality. You can't fix your swing in AZ without competing against AA/AAA caliber pitching.

Poor bullpen work destroying positive momentum.

White Sox don't have enough RH relievers Just S.Wilson Leasure Vasil

Goodbye Murfee 11 total bases 9th place hitter all the game's homers...first two of season and a triple

What does moving towards Chicago but not mean then? Just say he's still a viable prospect or likely broken with the Sox until a change of scenery trade.
