Schultz pitching on Saturday in Charlotte.

I think I'm supposed to do this again? I originally wasn't going to be able to catch this game as I was going to see the Tides/Bulls with my financial advisor where I was going to have to break the news that I dropped a few bands on the White Sox winning the division a few weeks ago. It has been rained out though so I can continue to monitor firsthand how brilliant/idiotic my bet was. Lineup below. Teel sits against the lefty. Need Burke to go deep in this one.

They probably won't be getting a difference maker. It sure doesn't sound like they are going all-in. It doesn't help that they have maybe one top 100 prospect at this point in Bonemer. The farm has not been good this year outside the players they've graduated to the Bigs.

Probably not going to happen, but Spangler is my dream get at 41. Would cost a hefty chunk though.

My guy (Nawrocki). Though admittedly I want him as a pitcher.

Part of me assumes that if Tanner McDougal comes back healthy from his IL stint, that he's going to get called up to work out of the bullpen for the rest of the season.

Sadge.

Pfft. Game threads are easy. Same time tomorrow?

Haven't made a game thread this season. Now is as good a time as ever. Let's sweep these fucks!

I doubt either are moved.

Totally. With all of the graduations and not many development wins this season the farm isn't looking so hot. I think Bonemer is your only top 100 guy at this point? Maybe Carlson is in the back end? Hagen stinking it up, Bergolla being indefinitely hurt, Oppor forgetting how to throw a baseball ain't great. I like Fauske and Gabe Davis, but they aren't there just yet. They really need to nail some talent in this draft. I'd like a high end prep bat and they desperately need to hit on some pitching. Though I'm far more inclined to trust in hitter development at this point.

What are you even talking about? The Sox acquiring another draft pick and more bonus pool has no implications on extending Vargas or Mune.

That would annoy me greatly if I was a Pirates fan. Do you think there is traction here?

I have no clue. @Y2Jimmy0 was suggesting a 3 way trade could work? I just dont quite understand why the Pirates would want to give up a comp pick though. Those are gold for smaller market teams who rely on developing talent internally.

Truly hope this happens.

He's absolutely not a fireballer. Might call him a junkballer? Fills up the zone with 5 to 6 different pitch types according to Savaant.

Man. How do we get this Burke every game?

Averaged 92 mph on the 4 seamer for the game.
