Will Indy double down on WR at 44? Can you name a Colts WR aside from TY Hilton?

There's one

Colts need to draft about six WR

I'm gonna name Epenesa now to see if I force him to get picked before the end of the round

Love dropping now. Maybe to Indy?

Goodell might be drunk already

Wonder if Jeudy will keep dropping.

It's gone well enough so far if not slower than expected.

35 minutes, two picks

The first pick is going to be from Ames, Iowa, the same place that has provided the Bulls with so much joy.

September 1: White Sox 6, Rays 5. My assumption is the Sox will play just well enough to screw themselves come draft time. Anywho, Kopech pitched into the 6th (5.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 4 K) and Aaron Bummer picked up his sixth save. The Sox got multi-hit performances from Eloy Jimenez (who hit his 28th dong) and Brian Dozer (who...uh...hit his 12th double). Yolbert Sanchez was 1-4 in his return from the minors. The Sox also stole five bases in this one. The sox sit 19 games back of Cleveland, and 10 games back of Detroit in 4th. After the game, the Sox called up Bernardo Flores, and sent Kyle Kubat back down. Somehow, the Sox still have to shuffle pitchers. 56-82 September 2: White Sox 5, Rays 4. Yep, that's what they're gonna do. Dallas Keuchel won his tenth game of the year (5.1 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 5 K). Unfortunately, Jose Abreu left the game due to injury - the extent of which is unknown. Yolbert Sanchez hit his first major league home run, while Seby Zavala (5) and Nomar Mazara (17) also went deep. This was enough to push Blake Snell to 12-9, despite a 2.90 ERA. 57-82 September 3: White Sox 5, Rays 2. Hey, continued decent baseball. The Sox first received good news - Jose Abreu was simply day to day with a bruised hand. Lucas Giolito was also strong (5 IP, 4 H, R, BB, 8 K), and Bernardo Flores only allowed one hit in the 9th for his first major league save. The Sox garnered six hits and seven walks in this one, and dongs by Derek Fisher (23) and Zack Collins (9) paced the offense. An 0-3 day for Danny Mendick pushed his average below .300 (.298). 58-82 September 4: Twins 6, White Sox 5. All good things must come to an end, and a three-game winning streak sure feels like one of the best runs of the year. Gio Gonzalez continued to play out the string (5.2 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 6 K), while Kelvin Herrera helped blow a one-run lead in the sixth to drop his record to 3-6, with an 8.47 ERA on the year. Jose Abreu came back from injury to hit his 25th home run, wile Yasmani Grandal added his 16th dong of the year. 58-83 September 5: Twins 4, White Sox 0. Randy Dobnak left due to injury in the 8th, but the Sox already had no chance. Jose Abreu went 3-4, accounting for just under half of the Sox hits. Dylan Cease had a quality start (6.1 IP, 4 H, R, 3 BB, 6 K), but Aaron Bummer and Bennett Sousa allowed three runs over the rest of the game to make sure it was out of reach. 58-84 September 6: Twins 5, White Sox 0. The return of corpseball. Just over 38,000 fans at Target Field watched Jake Odorizzi throw a two hit shutout. Eloy Jimenez and Brian Dozier had two singles. Michael Kopech pitched well enough in this one (5 IP, 3 H, R, 4 BB, 3 K), but, again, the bullpen promptly gave up four more runs to squash any notion of a Sox comeback. After the game, Carlos Rodon returned from the IL and Bernardo Flores went back to AAA, although its probably in his best interest to get away from this mess. 58-85 September 7: OFF DAY September 8: Dodgers 8, White Sox 4. This went exactly how you thought it would, and it eliminated the White Sox from the postseason. Blame the bullpen again in this one. Dallas Keuchel threw a quality start (6 IP, 8 H, 2 R, BB, 4 K), but Aaron Bummer and Bennett Sousa combined to give up six runs on four hits in the seventh. But, hey, at least Cody Bellinger didn't add to his MLB-leading 55 home runs. Luis Robert hit dong number 11. 58-86

Fegan's coverage makes a subscription worth it

August 25: White Sox 13, Red Sox 7. Lot of dongs out there today. Home runs from Yoan Moncada (30), Eloy Jimenez (26) and two from Yasmani Grandal (14) helped the White Sox in a game where Lucas Giolito only lasted two batters before leaving with hamstring soreness. Codi Heuer would pick up the win in relief, despite being by far the least effective Sox pitcher (3.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K). That was Matt Foster, who allowed just one hit in three scoreless innings. The Sox got multi hit efforts out of Jimenez, Grandal, Derek Fisher, Luis Robert and Tim Anderson. Danny Mendick went 1-3 to push his team leading average to .307. Across baseball, Cody Bellinger is up to 53 home runs, which leaves him on pace for 64. RoboHahn got busy after the game too, activating Carlos Rodon from the 60 day IL and sending him to Charlotte for rehab. Jimmy Cordero and Carson Fulmer were DFA'd, Bernardo Flores was called up, and Matt Foster was optioned to Charlotte. 54-77 August 26: White Sox 8, Red Sox 6. Yoan Moncada's 31st home run of the year - off of Matt Barnes - walked off the Red Sox and sent the White Sox fans to the bars to celebrate another win. Dylan Cease lasted just four innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on just two hits. Moncada's home run was accompanied by Yasmani Grandal's 15th home run. The Sox got multi hit efforts out of Jose Abreu, Luis Robert and Leury Garcia. In LA, Bellinger hit #54. 55-77 August 27: Red Sox 3, White Sox 0. Nathan Eovaldi threw a seven hit shutout, nullifying a cromulent start from Michael Kopech (6 IP, 4 H, R, 2 BB, 5 K). The Sox could not string together any cluster luck against Eovaldi - all seven hits were singles and spaced out throughout the game. Gio Gonzalez was used in relief to end the game and allowed two runs. Hey, at least with a scoreless inning, Kelvin Herrera got his ERA under 9 (8.96). 55-78 August 28: Astros 5, White Sox 0. No runs, four hits. Starting to thing the Sox may not be good. Luis Robert did have two of those hits, and his average is up to .229. The Sox again had no extra base hits as Zack Godley picked up the win for Houston. Dallas Keuchel fell to 9-7 (5.1 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 3 BB, 6 K). After the game, RoboHahn sends down Matt Foster (who was actually recalled the same day he was sent down) and bring up Bernardo Flores. 55-79 August 29: Astros 3, White Sox 2. I suppose asking for the Sox to win a baseball game these days is a tough ask. Josh Reddick's ninth inning solo shot off of Ian Hamilton doomed the Sox to another loss. Lucas Giolito was fine, but not spectacular (5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 4 K) in his first start after being pulled due to hamstring soreness. Brian Dozier hit home run number 11 for the Sox, accounting for half the offensive output. 55-80 August 30: Astros 5, White Sox 2. Back to the bullpen blowing games. Bernardo Flores (4 IP, 3 H, R, 0 BB, K) was good enough. Aaron Bummer (0.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 0 K) was not. Eloy Jimenez went 2-5, and Nomar Mazara and Brian Dozier each had an RBI. Neat. The Sox will not have a winning season, but you already knew that. 55-81 August 31: Rays 6, White Sox 5. Dylan Cease (3.2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, BB, 5 K) was not good enough. Leury Garcia left the game after getting hit by a pitch in the foot. Tim Anderson, who had a scheduled day off, did fill in nicely with a bases loaded double, scoring three. An Eloy Jimenez two run shot (27) accounted for the rest of the Sox offense. After the game, Bernardo Flores was sent to Birmingham. The Sox September callups will be Tyler Johnson, Kyle Kubat and Yolbert Sanchez. Nick Madrigal languishes in Charlotte. 55-82

The separate one I'm managing each game, we are 16-16 (also have lost Giolito for most of the year)

In most of these, the pitching is totally gassed. They have a team ERA of 5.81....better than just Texas in the AL (6.66). Those are the two worst in baseball.

I'm curious to see if my mom will get one. We just recently filed her 2019 taxes.

us iowans don't want to fraternize with you people we're gonna get infected on our own schedule, thank you very much

Still unsure what we are doing in Iowa. The state has some 0-12 rating scale for six parts of the state. The governor had said if any region hit a 10, it would trigger a shelter in place for that region of the state. So, when northeast Iowa hit a 10.......that didn't happen. The other oddball part of today's press conference was when a reporter asked for guidance for Iowans without internet access with questions pertaining to stimulus checks.....and she said that that guidance would be posted on the state website later today.

August 16: White Sox 5, Yankees 3 (10). A 12-hit outburst by the White Sox was backed up by a surprising strong start by Gio Gonzalez (4.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 K). The Sox first took the lead on an RBI double by Nomar Mazara in the bottom of the first, and they again took a 2-1 in the 7th on a Mazara home run (14). Naturally, Tyler Johnson would give up the lead on a Giancarlo Stanton home run in the eighth, and the game would go to extras. Thankfully, Luis Robert would prove to be the hero with a two run walk-off home run (10). In case you were curious, RoboHahn has kept sending Steve Cishek down through the minors, with Cishek now landing in Winston-Salem. Also, Zack Burdi was sent down for Matt Foster. 50-74 August 17: OFF DAY August 18: Twins 10, White Sox 5. Well, it was nice not losing for two days. Dallas Keuchel (3.2 IP, 9 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 4 K) and Matt Foster (0.1 IP, 3 H, 4 R) would make sure that familiar feeling would come back. The Sox did hit three home runs - coming from Jose Abreu (22), Nomar Mazara (15), and Yasmani Grandal (12). The Sox walked twice and struck out 14 times. After the game, Matt Foster and Kyle Kubat were sent down, Zack Burdi was called up, and Dylan Cease was activated from the IL. Carlos Rodon should be back in a week as well. 50-75 August 19: White Sox 6, Twins 4 (10). Yoan Moncada's 29th home run of the season walked off the Twins in the ten inning tilt. Derek Fisher sent this one to extras with his 22nd home run in the top of the 9th. Lucas Giolito had another iffy start (4.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 K), but Moncada's three hit, three-RBI game helped to bail him out. The Sox still did strike out 12 times in this one without taking a walk - a common theme this year. 51-75 August 20: White Sox 2, Mariners 0. What a return from the injured list for Dylan Cease. It was an abbreviated, 75-pitch outing, but it was masterful (6 IP, H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K). Bennett Sousa, Ian Hamilton and Aaron Bummer covered the final three innings - allowing just three hits in relief. The Sox offense was paced by two-hit outings by Yasmani Grandal and Jose Abreu, while Nomar Mazara hit a solo shot (16) in the 9th to provide some insurance for the Sox. 52-75 August 21: Mariners 4, White Sox 3. It'd been a while since a strong pitching outing by a starter had been ruined by the bullpen, but we're back to business. Michael Kopech had one of his better starts of the year (5.1 IP, 3 H, R, 3 BB, 3 K), but Zack Burdi would blow the save and lose the game on the strength of three walks in just an inning pitched. Kelvin Herrera (1.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 0 K) also still has a job, despite a 9.37 ERA on the season. The Sox got solo shots from Jose Abreu (23) and Danny Mendick (10) i n this one. 52-76 August 22: Mariners 3, White Sox 1. Another loss in relief, but with a different twist. Tyler Johnson started as the opener and gave up one run on a Dan Vogelbach home run, but that was it until the seventh. Gio Gonzalez came in in the second inning, and went 5.1 innings, but would eventually give up two runs after 93 pitches. This was all that was needed to overcome an impotent Sox offense that only scored one run on seven hits. 52-77 August 23: White Sox 5, Mariners 1. Dallas Keuchel picked up his ninth win (5.1 IP, 4 H, R, 3 BB, 5 K) in a strong performance, and Kelvin Herrera, Tyler Johnson and Aaron Bummer covered the final eleven outs with only one hit allowed to seal away the win. The Sox offense was paced with 12 hits, including a three hit outburst by Danny Mendick, which pushed his average up to .307. Jose Abreu hit his 24th home run. RoboHahn reward Johnson's strong performance by sending him down for Matt Foster after the game. 53-77 August 24: OFF DAY

if they want a new head coach, i think there's some fans here ready to volunteer the current guy

We now have eclipsed Minnesota here in Iowa in terms of total cases.

August 9: White Sox 7, Indians 4. Holy crap. A win. Kyle Kubat was was largely mediocre (5.1 IP, 9 H, 4 R, BB, 2 K) but Bennett Sousa, Codi Heuer and Ian Hamilton combined to allow just one hit and no walks over the rest of the game. The Sox scored five runs in the third, punctuated by a three run home run by Nomar Mazara (12), as well as a two run double by Luis Robert. After the game, RoboHahn sent down Sousa and replaced him with Matt Foster. 47-71 August 10: White Sox 9, Angels 8 (10). Holy crap. Two wins in a row. Luis Robert would take Kyle Keller's tenth inning offering and deposit it in the seats for his second home run of the game (10). Robert wasn't the only one slinging dongs, as Derek Fisher (21), Yoan Moncada (26) and Tzu-Wei Lin (1) all also went deep. Lucas Giolito was roughed up a bit (4 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 0 BB, 5 K), but the back end of the pen was efficient, with Ian Hamilton ultimately picking up the win after a perfect 9th. Around baseball, Cody Bellinger has hit his 50th home run, and he is on pace for 68. After the game, RoboHahn sent down Matt Foster and Adam Engel and recalled Bennett Sousa, as well as purchasing the contract of Nicky Delmonico. 48-71 August 11: Rained out. RoboHahn takes this opportunity to send Delmonico and Heuer back down, recall Matt Foster, and activate Eloy Jimenez from the IL. August 12: White Sox 6, Angels 5; Angels 9, White Sox 4. The Sox took game one on the strength of home runs by Eloy Jimenez (25) and Nomar Mazara (13). Mazara had three hits in the game, which helped overcome the three errors by the Sox in the game. Dallas Keuchel picked up his 8th win despite allowing four runs in five innings, but, strangely enough, the Sox pen would cover the final four innings and only allow one run. Zack Burdi picked up his first save of the year after picking up there outs on three pitches. In game two, the Sox bullpen blew it, at Kelvin Herrera, Matt Foster, Tyler Johnson and Gio Gonzalez would combine to allow eight runs over 2.2 innings. Yoan Moncada went deep twice (28) and Brian Dozier tacked on as well (9). 49-72 August 13: Yankees 12, White Sox 2. Lucas Giolito would record the last out of this game via trike out; Tyler Johnson started for some reason and allowed two runs in the first inning. Aaron Bummer would get two outs in the second and allow four runs. Ian Hamilton would allow six runs in the eighth and ninth innings. Tim Anderson and Eloy Jimenez both had two hits, and Brian Dozier hit his tenth home run of the year. 49-73 August 14: OFF DAY August 15: Yankees 16, White Sox 1. Leury Garcia: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, BB, 2 K Seby Zavala: 0.2 IP, 2 H, R, 0 BB, K Danny Mendick: 2-3, 2B, HR (9), .299 average Matt Foster to AAA, Codi Heuer to Chicago 49-74

August 1: Indians 6, White Sox 1. Michael Kopech had one of his better starts of the year, despite being wild (7 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 5 BB, 4 K, 2 WP), but another bad outing out of the Sox offense (5 hits) doomed this one. Moreover, Eloy Jimenez was pulled after throwing a ball in from left field, leaving his status in doubt going forward. Derek Fisher hit a solo shot (18) in the 7th, accounting for the White Sox offense in this one. They would walk twice and strike out eleven times. 46-65 August 2: Indians 9, White Sox 7. A 5-1 lead for the Sox would, naturally, not be enough in this one. Lucas Giolito (4.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R , 2 BB, 5 K) was pulled with soreness in his next in the fifth, and Gio Gonzalez (2.2 IP, 5 H, 6 R, 3 BB, 2 K) was terrible in relief. The Sox would get another home run (19) out of Derek Fisher in this one, and Tim Anderson (11) also went deep. In other bad Sox news, Eloy Jimenez was placed on the IL with shoulder soreness, and Yolbert Sanchez was recalled from Charlotte. Jimenez is expected to miss around two weeks. 46-66 August 3: Yankees 16, White Sox 8. After the top of the 5th inning, it was the White Sox with a 6-4 lead. After the bottom of the 5th, it was the Yankees with a 13-6 lead. Dylan Cease lasted just one inning (H, R, 0 BB, K) before being pulled with arm soreness. Bennett Sousa, Tyler Johnson, Kelvin Herrera and Ian Hamilton would all give up at least three runs a piece. Dallas Keuchel would come on in relief to get the last out of the game. Derek Fisher would go deep again in this one (20), and the Sox also got dongs from Luis Robert (6), Yoan Moncada (25) and Seby Zavala (4). After the came, Cease would be placed on the IL, and Kyle Kubat was called up from Charlotte. 46-67 August 4: Yankees 17, White Sox 3 Adam Engel: 1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 0 K Seby Zavala: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, BB, 0 K The White Sox claimed 2B Tzu-Wei Lin off of waivers from Boston. 46-68 August 5: Yankees 15, White Sox 0. Seby Zavala 1.1 IP, H, R, BB, 2 K Tyler Johnson and Yolbert Sanchez sent down, Matt Foster called up. 46-69 August 6: OFF DAY Codi Heuer sent down, Tyler Johnson recalled August 7: Indians 4, White Sox 1. Michael Kopech had another strong start (8.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 BB, 5 K), but, again, it wasn't enough. The Sox one run came on a Luis Robert home run (7). Tzu-Wei Lin started at second base and went 1-3 in his first game with the White Sox. 46-70 August 7: Indians 8, White Sox 0. Matt Foster retired the first five batters of the game without issue. 46-71

I agree. I'd settle for anything.
