White Sox are 0 for the season on comebacks when trailing after the 5th 6th 7th… SD must have at least half their victories in come from behind fashion the past 2-3 weeks. It’s almost uncanny. Did it yet again tonight. Ten runs allowed the last two nights by depleted Miami pen in extras.

Just doing the opposite of Hahn 75-80% of time in FA would be AL Executive of the Year material…

Who is worse? Colorado? Definitely not Oakland or Miami based on this season.

The ONE thing Kansas City has contributed to the Sox the past two decades… Except the ball would hit him in the face and knock him out for the remainder of the season due to blurred vision.

And whatever they did with or to a certain now injured Braves’ starter. Bummer…throw him in there. Anderson, Liam. Lucked out with Kelly Graveman Lynn.

Burger .243/.740 Maybe could use him about now just for entertainment…rather than say Vargas. Every Cuban since Robert cursed…and he might be cursed now, too.

2012 White Sox defense and pitching under Ventura…12 rookies, including Q?

Plus Skubal was pulled off the market. Watch Cags come up to KC next year and win RoY playing alongside Witt and Braden Smith get injured in true Sox everything that can go wrong will go wrong fashion.

Not sure if I should be actively cheering against Holliday when this is the second time I put him on fantasy starting roster, lol…need that Giants’ SS instead.

Getz doesn’t have the one Hahn gift on contract negotiations or talking to reassure families either…untenable situation now with Crochet, largely self-induced.

Batting practice…should have worked harder to get Crochet out of the organization at the deadline. Lingering questions now about durability won’t disappear over the offseason.

Barfield made the specific recommendation on Fletcher… At least Garrett demonstrating some fight there.

https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds 6.7%??? Cubs’ radio team just called PCA home to third base fastest in MLB history, lol…a bit of hyperbole there.

Last year there was a huge buzz around the team this time of the year…2024, on the periphery of competing but not really in it, Bellinger and Morel and Hoerner off, looking to subtract instead of add at the deadline, PCA showing a number of his major warts. Basically it’s Imanaga to get excited about.

As long as they miss the post-season again…

Cannon, Flexen, Davis Martin, Bush…who do they go to next? Nastrini? Toussaint? Iriarte? Adams?

Lovely situation when your two most important players are stuck with the organization and vice versa. Stockholm Syndrome?? 77 pitches has been limit over the last four times out, 3 2/3’s. Trying to let him get the feel of going a full season for another 6-7 weeks might be at the point of backfiring or being counterproductive psychologically.

Can’t let him go to 35-40 pitches in one extended inning… Get him out of there. This isn’t doing Crochet any good. Second game of season with multiple homers. Philly 3.

Ooops, 96-97 but that was a cutter at 89-90. Poor Grady.

Must have made the determination that totally shutting down for months and months before 2025 would be MORE likely to result in injury…in consultation with multiple doctors, Crochet, agent, family. PTAC would present the case, surely.

Ryan and Stewart with all kinds of health issues threatening Twins’ postseason drive.

Rain delay… Burger up to 737 ops, 20th homer.

Symbolically separating the vets and then the four newer guys at the bottom…basically stating he expects more leadership from the established/veteran guys from this point onwards. Not sure that comes from Robert or Benintendi, but maybe Grifol never once talked to either guy about it?? Sox this season have attempted to force Vaughn into the role as well. But it certainly hasn’t evolved naturally or holistically.

“It unfortunately takes more than six to eight months to turn it around and feel like you’re headed in the right direction,” Getz said. “I certainly understand the skepticism of the direction we’re going based on our Major League club right now. I feel very good about where we’re at and where we’re headed and what we’ve accomplished so far, but without question, there’s still a lot of work that needs to be finished.” mlb.com Didn’t want to waste a year, that quote will be forever tied around Getz’s neck thanks to JR…

Profar and Winker. Follow the Royals’ path with the likes of Lugo/Wacha. Some of the SD pitching pickups like Estrada in the pen, platoon hitters like Solano and castoff pitchers like Martin Perez (another version of Chavez).
