There are your team leaders, Clevinger and Pham. Ironic, since Pham was the one who was chirpng about Schiffren being in the clubhouse too much in the first place and trying to get too close to the players. Brewers must be laughing their heads off at an announcer trying to act all though with them like it's an MMA undercard.

Try $90-110 million...

He should be more concerned that the Guardians are much more profitable with a sub $100 million payroll, 20 games over .500 and drafting first overall.

All the former Top 100 prospects!

"Oh man, he was attacking today," said Brewers shortstop Willy Adames. "He had power stuff and we couldn't do much against him. He was overpowering us today. He has an unbelievable fastball and that slider/cutter or whatever you want to call it was incredible. After the night our guys had last night, he came in and shut us out." "If you remember early on, that first, second outing, he was all out every single pitch," White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said. "He's pitching now, which is something that's really really good to see. It's just maturity, learning how to become a starter." mlb.com https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/news/garrett-crochet-showing-ace-form

For Garrett? Seems split right down the middle. 50/50 is still 30% higher than Hahn and Getz lol.

Not his wrist ???

Ortiz with an incredible 900 ops. The Real Madrigal lol.

Imagine Lee hitting #2 after how last season ended for him...

Note the attached chart...Atlanta was "first" or last depending on one's perspective. But that's a massive one player missing, quite obviously.

Among the negatives surrounding the White Sox, there are a couple of eye-openers. First, Andrew Benintendi -- a career .271 hitter and a fine outfielder and baserunner in a nine-year major league career for four teams -- is the worst player in baseball in 2024 when it comes to wins above replacement, according to Fangraphs WAR (-1.7). Then, the White Sox just suffered their first winless homestand of seven games or more in franchise history -- and this is a franchise that dates to 1901. They've lost eight straight and 12 of the past 13. Chicago manager Pedro Grifol didn't have much analysis after the White Sox's 3-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday dropped the team to 15-42. "Fifteen and forty-whatever is tough," Grifol said. "I don't break it down that much to 0-7, the first one in history ... I break it down that today we didn't win a baseball game." cbssports.com

They would have been better off applying it to Anthony Rendon...a bit more important in the overall scheme of things. The Brewers' 23 hits were not only a season high but the most for any team in any game across the Majors this season. Of those hits, 18 were singles and none were home runs. And in finishing 9-for-27 with runners in scoring position, the Brewers set the mark for most official at-bats with runners in scoring position in any MLB game this season. mlb.com/brewers

And Acuna is out for the season now.

He's certainly had regular starting or platoon jobs on a regular basis compared to Pillar vast as primarily a defensive replacement and PR.

Have you looked at Pillar's track record the last five years? This was like Bryan Ramos in RoY consideration his first week in the big leagues. Pham was in the NLCS and WS the last two years. Proven offensive track record. You're crazy if you think Pillar can sustain this level of play for 6-8 more weeks. It's a Yermin 15 minutes of fame...like Trade Thompson at the beginning of last season.

Kept his team in the game. That's what managers are looking for in this day and age.

The Angels aren't going anywhere either. In the end, Pham's the more valuable player to a playoff contender. White Sox just never seem to have guys like Perkins who hang around the minors for 700 games before making a meaningful impact.

Milwaukee a crazy 7/23 with RISP.

Just like Rodon second half of 2021. They knew they weren't even going to the QO. Here he's team property into the future and needs to be protected. Arguably the second or third most important cuurent asset after Robert and Montgomery.

-133 Pham is not a CFer. Despite the great effort and preventing the 11th run from scoring.

-132 now. Rockies -75, Marlins -63, A's at -64. Almost twice as bad now as the second worst team!!!

Kasper says he's never seen anything like this in recent memory. "Hitting is contagious." 14 two strike hits against Cubs and Sox the last two games...

How the heck are the Brewers out scoring the LA Dodgers on the season? And the deluge continues.

Hard infield. Hit 'em where they ain't. Defensive positioning. 16 hits and counting.
