Chicago White Sox

No fucking walks!

Awesome. Hopefully he’s only three weeks away give or take.

🤣🤣🤣

Let’s fucking go

Motherfucking f***

Ball four base hit

Need to tie it here at minimum

Davis 2 maybe?

f*** you Realmuto

Gotcha and agree

I love Venable, but fully agree, he’s had a lot of bad decisions this week

f*** yeah Hill!

No idea why Venable tried to get cute and sneak another out/inning from Kay after what we saw so far tonight.

?

JFC…pull his ass

Why is Kay still in?

We desperately need another RH bat.

Seems to make some sense. Acuna might survive longer than expected given all the injuries.

If Jerry doesn’t have sway in this area, then Tony doesn’t matter all that much.

I honestly struggle with who should be demoted. I had been saying Acuna for a while, but I kind of feel like we are exposed a bit right now against LHP. As such, I may swap out Rikuu for Periera. This is a good opportunity to give Pereira some run against both LHP & RHP and see how he does.

Excellent news and thanks for sharing. I remain fairly optimistic on Pereira outside of the durability concerns.

I said it in the other thread, but don’t think Jerry has any real influence on draft picks. This will 100% be Getz & Shirley’s decision, although they will certainly listen to their top advisors. All that being said, I remain convinced they will take Roch. IMO, a great draft class would be college positional player at 1.01, two or three high ceiling preps (including Thome), and a bunch of college arms. Not sure what the depth and quality of the latter, but this org badly needs to add another wave of pitching in the low minors and I feel it’s easier to find interesting college arms in the mid ti late rounds than it is prep pitching and positional guys in general.

No, he’s going to need a lengthy minor league rehab assignment unfortunately. Hopefully that starts as soon as next week and he can be back before the end of the month.

The latter is very true. A 59% groundball rate is a problem that needs to be addressed before he gets the call IMO. We don’t need to call up a rookie who has to make adjustments to get the ball into the air more all while adapting to major league pitching. Don’t see how that’s going to help us anytime soon.

They don’t want to call-up Braden because he’s better than the current major league incumbent, they want to call him up when they feel his development is complete. His xwOBA is only in the 65th percentile amongst AAA players and his power numbers in AAA are down considerably despite his home park. His contact rate has been way better as of late, but his power hasn’t been materially different. I still think July is the likely ETA for Braden.
