That or jersey day related to a given player (or coach in this case) is almost always the kiss of death, especially after any type of "vote or expression of confidence" from ownership that is issued in a public manner.

Not to mention Robert's contract isn't exactly a bargain if he's not producing at least in the 3+ fWAR range, but more optimistically 4-5. And that's obviously based on fragility he's demonstrated in the beginning of his career, with last year being his only close to complete season. As someone else mentioned, you're going to need to get ANOTHER piece like a Fedde, Pham, Sheets, Vaughn...whatever that acquiring team perceives as being a weakness down the stretch run. Tempting as Robert and Crochet being combined would be a dream acquisition for any GM, only a handful of teams could actually pull that off, and only 2-3 likely have the kind of risk tolerance, stones and job security in the GM/Executive suit to go for it with a move like that would instantly transform your team into a top WS contender IF IF IF those two guys can both stay on the field/mound.

Said numerous scouts about Micker Adolfo and Joe Borchard...

Right now, there's nobody beyond Montgomery that screams "average to above average major leaguer/3B", and that's not even a sure thing. Top 100ish guys like Ramos and Colas are even LESSER "sure things" comparatively. Quero MIGHT be an "average" major league catcher at some point 3-5 years from now. Baldwin has been the lone breakout offensively, but he and Gonzalez (hopefully a return to norm or mean in 2024) still have skeptics who project utility guys more than a 2-3 fWAR middle infielders. Zavala is a massive wild card. If you look at the millions that SD has spent in Latin America in the past decade plus under Preller, their track record has been pretty abysmal in terms of actually developing those position prospects into big leaguers as opposed to trading them. Stateside, CJ Abrams started out this season in WASH looking like an All-Star and James Wood LOOKS like he will be a stud, but who really knows? Color me skeptical until proven wrong.

Especially as the long time Japanese champion had to retire recently because he'd lost almost all taste sensation in his mouth. Wide folks competition now folks!

About as much as Bad Bad Leroy Brown...

Might need to have him in the lineup every day to trade him.

Kwan an MVP candidate at 373/957 Sox passed him up. And what the heck kind of name is Schneemann for a SS? That could only be a Guardians player. 27 year old rookie starting 4/10 and 1.200+ ops. Fullname: Daniel Schneemann Born: 1/23/1997 in San Diego, CA Draft: 2018, Cleveland Indians, Round: 33, Overall Pick: 1003 College: Brigham Young Debut: 6/02/2024

About helping Alex Gordon win multiple Gold Gloves for the Royals? Can't remember if Dyson or Lo Cain won one as well. Schultz out of the game with just 56 pitches thrown. Quero 9th Homer. Now at .265/.795

Might as well just send Baldwin to AAA or the White Sox while he's on such a tear. Unreal break out so far. Sustainable?...we shall certainly see.

44 pitches through 3. 3 hits. Will he be allowed to go 5 instead of the usual 4 and maybe pick up a victory?

Miami Marlins’ Tim Anderson Hits Bereavement List, Won’t Get Rematch With José Ramírez Tim Anderson was suspended six games for fighting Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez in 2023, but the Miami Marlins shortstop won't be active for the rematch on Friday. Anderson is batting .188 with zero home runs, six RBI, three stolen bases, a .427 OPS and a -1.2 WAR through 48 games in 2024. He also missed time with back and thumb injuries earlier this season, as well as an illness.

Aha that explains it. Triantos double.

Montgomery .222/.705 two strikeouts Yikes. Triantos double stolen base and single touches up Schultz for one run in the first. 1.04 ERA

Bello was one of the two recipients of significant contract extensions in their early RED SOX careers, along with Raffaela most controversially (because of his limited offensive upside, mainly).

Larry? Why? He's more of an Orioles' fan favorite, and probably watches equal amounts of that team to the White Sox...who he would probably deliberately avoid viewing if his son wasn't in the starting line-up.

Trade GAVIN SHEETS NOW/TODAY Movement just launched....or relaunched. Still 6/9th's of the line-up at 651 or lower OPS numbers. Julks Sheets DeJong the three exceptions to the rule. Robert as well, although sitting today. Korey Lee as well.

Bradley and Carl Everett...who was quite well behaved during his time in Chicago.

It's going to REALLY suck if they manage to snatch Crochet's victory from him after how well he's pitched recently. Just because it was Jonathan Cannon of all pitchers turn to throw today...so let's just throw him into what will quickly be a high lever situation (self-induced).

But won't be so great watching him pitch for Dodgers, Braves, Yankees, etc. From the Sox perspective, I guess, they just need to keep him healthy to maximize the trade return as much as possible, especially with Robert's value off quite a bit now.

Not a great idea with those Campfire Milkshakes. Have to take out insurance for those things with how dear they are.

Seems about the dumbest possible time in history to throw Cannon into a game. We'll see how it works. But guessing probably not very well.

112 k's in basically 81 IP. Leading the major leagues in K's now. Cease and our old jersey-cutting friend Chris Sale 4/5 in that category. Almost friend Wheeler #6.

Confusing winning percentage with talent/potential. Quite often not a very clear correlation at all...well maybe Sox affilates in 2021-22-23.

No hitter off the board early as well as the potential shoutout tonight.
