Chicago White Sox

For who? Someone better than Frazier I hope.

Seriously, sucks Liam blew off Yaz, but he’s the least of our problems. And that’s not to mention how stupid it would be to use Kopech in a pure closer role if we ever want him starting for us in the future.

12% above league average against RHP...

Collins’ sprint speed is 12th percentile vs. Grandal’s 6th percentile. Meanwhile, Collins has a 112 wRC+ against RHP whereas Yermin has been put up a 47 since May 1st. How does anyone use Collins as a pinch runner rather than a pinch hitter given those considerations??

We have a couple, one of whom we decided to use a pinch runner rather than a pinch hitter. I can’t even begin to understand the thought process there.

Tony is an absolute abomination of a manager

I can’t believe we wasted Collins’ bat for a tiny increase in base running speed.

What the fuck?????? Why would you pinch run with Collins and not use him as a pinch hitter for Mercedes!???!??????

Yaz! Lamb needs to walk this this shit off.

Please save us Grandal

Absolute ? show

Stone calling him out too

JFC

How close does Vaughn & Crochet get you to Ketel?

He can’t hit a slider to save his life.

Yaz delivers

Oh boy...trade confirmed!

To me, this feels like the Sox paying in advance for future leaks. They do this from time to time so that Bob has some level of credibility, at least when it comes to the Sox.

Putting it in his article pretty much cements this is happening IMO.

Why do you say that?

Assuming this is all legit, I’m guessing they’re just verifying medicals given his recent quad injury. That being said, this all feels like he’d join the team tomorrow.

Escobar was pulled late last night despite being 4/5 with five RBIs. When combined with Nightengale’s tweet it seems like this is going to happen as some point today, just curious what the price will end of being. I’m not sure where the Lambert speculation came from, but he did miss his scheduled start last night, so I can see why people are throwing his name around. That being said, it’s also possible (more likely IMO) that the Sox are simply calling him up to pitch today.

Honestly, Escobar to the Sox seems like for a foregone conclusion. The real question is what OF will we trade for as I’m assuming that’s the player that @Blackout Friday is referring to.

Right or wrong, I will say when I think “big” I think our 2020 draft being traded for Mitch Haniger:

That would be awesome all things considered
