https://www.yahoo.com/sports/shaikin-risk-reward-ex-dodger-110025708.html Twins' reliever Brock Stewart going from 91 to 97/98 documented...

"Luis Robert and Yoán Moncada quickly hit the IL for the White Sox, not that anything can save this team. Gavin Sheets (.269, three homers) is the only Chicago batter inside the top 300 for current banked value. The team has split its four saves among three pitchers, so even presumed closer Michael Kopech is dealing with a capped ceiling." Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball Notes

30. Chicago White Sox (-) They're 3-0 in the Tommy Pham Era. Oops, make that 3-1.

Amazing Minnesota has won eight in a row but five of them came against the White Sox. 33.5-128.5 current pace

Making it interesting at least.

Have to PH for Ortega...

At least Kopech won't be giving up the gopher ball. Welp, only a double.

There's no guarantee he would have held up health-wise even as a closer, and not everyone has the mentality as well as command/control to make it as a closer. Sure, if he was equivalent of Josh Hader, that would be worth a ton. The odds of another team targeting his continued development as a starter seems like that payoff will be decent enough.

Stewart dominated the White Sox last series...looks like it's continuing. But at least no Duran at the end of that pen.

Delayed?

How does a Catcher steal second off a LH pitcher?

Probably limiting his pitch count or going through dead arm soreness.

Here goes the tie game...

Not many in the game envisioned Luis Severino with a 2.31 ERA at this point...so kudos to the Mets for at least battling this year after a rough start. Jinxed lol.

Solid performance tonight by Crochet...but the Twins' offense is not much better than the Sox.

Deck chairs on the Titanic...although we already have managed to jettison approximately half the second base possibilities.

Still more of a thrower than a pitcher, and his arsenal is still limited in terms of variety...just can't pitch from behind at 96-98 fastballs without locating them well.

It's astounding with two GM's now that nobody yet has figured out how to replace Gavin Sheets in RF.

White Sox pitchers haven't been able to hold baserunners since the 1990's...

Insane that Benintendi is still only at a .516 OPS after this weekend.

Vaughn might be the worst #2 hitter in recent memory and Ortega should basically never start.

Isn't the Bears' full proposal all the way up to $6.9 billion now?
