Ah yes, the Sosa redux.

Sounds like Mena should be pitching today.

Sure is heartening seeing Eloy taking his walks lately.

My goodness.

Alex Destino just pinch hit for Popeye for a reason that is unclear.

Jordan Wicks leaving the game with an injury.

Popeye homer. Pulled another.

I was told he is fine and is just sore, and taking him out was precautionary. But the fact that he missed his turn in the rotation doesn't put me at ease.

Even Garfien is questioning the lineup.

I think I should have worked instead of watching this game.

Don't worry. Offensive explosion must be imminent.

I think assessing Colas as a bat only prospect seems a bit lazy. A bat only guy wouldn't be spending the bulk of his time playing CF in the minors. Even if it isn't going to be his long term home.

More at bats like that please.

That was a brutal strike call. Yikes.

I didn't realize the Tigers were having such a tough time with the farm during the rebuild. They went from 6th to 27th. Though I suppose they had graduations in Tork/Greene and a few others? Royals are also dead last at 30 after being 5th initially (tons of graduations), and the Twins are 25th after the trade deadline. Edit: Holy moly, Asa Lacy has not been good for the Royals. Also dealt with lots of injuries. I thought he was going to be a slam dunk.

Baseball America has done a midseason farm system ranking update. White Sox have moved from 30th to 24th. Also Colas seems to have moved from #99 to #96 on the top 100. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2022-mlb-midseason-organization-talent-rankings/
