Looks like Robert-Madrigal just had a successful relay play to get a guy at home.

...batting 9th

That’s a different story. If statistically they can show that high profile teams get more questionable calls, then they’d have to deal with that.

Agreed about review. It should be fresh eyes that make the call, and they do the best they can- not find a way to uphold the call on the field.

Besss is 2-2

Besss is 1-1

Madrigal in the lineup Eloy in RF

The Sox will have some tough/important decisions to make over the next couple years. They can’t settle for “good enough” and then find out it’s not good enough. Moving Moncada to third base isn’t something I would be against, but he needs to be all-in too. Again, really tough decisions are coming.

If Madrigal is on the White Sox, he’s the 2B. I don’t see any other position he would play. But he’s gotta get there first.

Nothing wrong with that, but if the Sox finish strong again, 67-95 or so, you would hope that carries over to 2019. I don’t want to feel like late season randomness cost them three or four spots in the draft.

Kendrys Morales going for 8 games in a row with a homer tonight in Baltimore. I’m sure MLBN will have his at bats live.

Wednesday is MLBN, not ESPN

Monday- Rodon vs Tanaka Tuesday- Shields vs Lynn Wednesday- Lopez vs Sabathia Hot and humid series. Lively ballpark.

Tigers are .500 at home, and 19-44 on the road...they’re 6-0 at Sox Park.

After 8/1: Sox 14-9 SD 8-15 Mia 7-16 Det 6-16

Eloy double, triple, walk

If the Padres lose, the Sox drop out of the 3rd spot for the first time in 75 days.

Cardinals homered

It’s not just an anti-Cubs thing. Because of money, there are too many players that get through. I just think being able to add from outside your organization with about 30 games left is pushing it. Make the deadline with 45-50 games left, and after that it’s done.

Also would like to point out the trade deadline needs to get its shit together. Waiver deals need to be eliminated. One trade deadline- always a Wednesday night with 7.5 weeks left in the season. After that, you’re on your own.

Normally, I’d say a pitcher that just had 13 starts in high-A and 10 starts in AA would start the next season in AA. But I think Cease might be above that. He’s probably looking at 27 starts and 160 innings next year. I’d go AAA to start, and bring him up when he proves he’s ready.

Playing tonight. Stay off the DL for the next 10 years now.

The White Sox and Cardinals have homered in their last 15 games. The Phillies have the season high at 16.
