Burger run was nice while it lasted... steady diet of off speed stuff now.

Trade Jimenez before he gets hurt playing RF... probably don't want to gas him up. Yesterday was a slider.

Should have traded him last offseason lol. On the plus side Urias Nola Snell struggling so the Sox will control the trade market this June/July with everyone but Kopech generating offers...

Almost a shock Burger completed the play successfully. We are going to see Middleton's longest career outing today... whatever that record is.

When was the last time the Sox had a great catching prospect? Kurt Brown drafted over Barry Bonds? Karko? Olivo lol?

Bullpen is toast by May 15...

Cease falling apart...emblematic of entire season so far.

Montreal relocation for Sox? Rusty Staub sighting? Le Grande Orange?

Elfin has been pretty much the perfect FA signing. And one of the reasons the Phils are scuffling too. Take away the GG for Robert...

Was that Ben Zobrist vs. Billy Koch?

Wow.

This feels quite familiar. Fire Hahn into the sun on SpaceX.

Egregious means bad Benetti... somehow Eloy with his hat at a 15 degree angle like Griffey or TA7 is really irksome for some reason lol.

Jimenez in RF should be automatic signal Hahn can't manage a roster. Same problem last year with Pollock there in April 2022.

This game started out quite similar to yesterday's debacle... except McClanahan can throw a no hitter anytime he takes the mound. Andrus leading off is quite similar to Leury in the same spot.

Only video feed at MLB.tv has to be Beckham...ofc.

Twins heading for just one game over .500 and rest of division under as well depending on results of Guardians' DH.

Crane said on Wednesday he had not asked permission from the Brewers to interview David Stearns, the former Astros assistant GM who stepped down as the Brewers’ president of baseball operations on Oct. 28 and moved into an advisory role. Shortly after, Crane said the search for a new GM would last into the new year, meaning the Astros navigated the offseason with assistant GMs Bill Firkus, Andrew Ball and Charles Cook leading the baseball operations department, Here's more on the Astros’ potential GM candidates and some names that have been linked to the club: Brad Ausmus Dana Brown Brown, 55, was named Atlanta’s VP of scouting prior to the 2019 season and helped procure much of the Braves' young talent, such as Michael Harris, the 2022 NL Rookie of the Year, and pitcher Spencer Strider, who finished second. Prior to Atlanta, Brown spent nine seasons as a special assistant to the GM for the Blue Jays and worked as the director of scouting for the Expos/Nationals for eight seasons from 2002-09, during which he drafted over 40 Major League players, including seven All-Stars. He began his scouting career with the Pirates in '94. He was a teammate of Craig Biggio at Seton Hall. Bobby Evans Evans, 53, was the GM of the Giants from the start of the 2015 season until Sept. 24, 2018. He was hired by San Francisco in '94 as a Minor League administrative assistant and worked his way up from there. He was promoted to director of Minor League operations in '98, to director of player personnel in '05 and to vice president of baseball operations in '09. Prior to the Giants, he worked in the Commissioner’s Office in New York for three years. James Harris Harris was promoted to the assistant GM of the Guardians last year after joining the organization in December 2016 as the director of player development. He spent most of '16 as a special assistant with the Pirates after three years as the chief of staff for the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles and nearly six years working at the University of Oregon. He was also a consultant for the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers from 2008-12. mlb.com https://www.mlb.com/news/astros-potential-general-manager-candidates

Good utilization of French word ennui most connected in this case to concepts of boredom/routine/apathy.

“Just keep going. That’s all,” said Grifol of his message to López. “He’s given us plenty of good innings in the eighth and ninth. Just keep going. Don’t get down on yourself. You have good stuff. You are good at what you do. Just keep going.” “That’s the toughest part about being a reliever is putting a game like that behind you and getting ready for the next game,” White Sox starter Michael Kopech said. “Ultimately, he’s a professional, and I know he’ll be able to do that. But it will probably feel like a long night for him.” López topped out at 99.1 mph on his four-seam fastball, according to Statcast, and his 99.1 mph average velocity was down 0.7 mph. Overall, López’s stuff felt good, but it was a case of bad location as he explained after the blown save. “Yes, bad location,” López said. “I couldn’t hit the spot today.” “He left two pitches up and they did what they are supposed to do with it,” Grifol said. “But give him the ball tomorrow again. He’s done it for us this year, and he’s gone multiple innings and plus-ones. So, I’m not losing confidence or any faith in López.” mlb.com

Big Game James Shields was arguably the Royals' biggest FA signing. Cueto trade at midseason. Zobrist. Edinson Volquez... but 85% homegrown or trades like Lorenzo Cain and Escobar from MIL.

Hello, Yasmany.

Where did they find money from the 2022 payroll in order to pay Benintendi? It was arguably Pollock and Abreu among the position players. It wasn't Leury Garcia. That particular money was "spent/sunk" anyway. If they had gotten stuck with Pollock for another year...arguably no Benintendi, unless they were going to stubbornlly play him in RF too.

That's the ONLY way they can get back to the playoffs. They would be doomed (at least under the Reinsdorf Regime) having to compete with the Cubs Brewers and Cardinals. From all indications, media rights deals will eventually after this Bally/Sinclair mess is sorted out properly will be spread out or allocated/distributed more evenly in the future to give the bottom 10-12 teams in terms of revenues/profitability more than a puncher's chance... but the White Sox will always start out at least $75 million ahead of those three small/mid market franchises in Detroit, Cleveland and Minny. They'll lose KC arguably the most weakly positioned to compete going forward...

Engel and Moncada not tagging against Minnesota/Buxton and getting caught trying to get back...the Josh Naylor disaster early in the season that really set the tone, kust too many to count. Pollock dropping balls in the outfield that almost landed on his head when he was foolishly inserted in RF. Let's not get started with walking Dodgers down two strikes to face Muncy or almost never getting a challenge for replay right.
