That's a pair to draw to.

There was an old college stat/comment on Vaughn that I never saw until a year or so ago (probably here) that told how poorly Vaughn hit against the best pitchers, but he really feasted on the secondary pitchers in college. You would think that pro scouts would have noticed.

Harold, this was a no-brainer for KC. Their decision was easy. It's the White Sox who blew it.

I wonder what Sox will do with Tauchman for next year. Offer him a contract for 2026, trade him next month?

???

For openers, his nephew is team's scouting director.

Next year Robert and Taylor will be gone. Baldwin probably will get the OD nod, unless some lucky trade is made. Thus, he is in Charlotte to get some live action in CF.

Baldwin is in line to be CF in 2026.

Someone could write a book about him. Angels also sent Eder to AAA.

I think what you just said is that right now, Michael Taylor is the better player.

Which play is worse? That one, or our first baseman forgetting to get his foot on the bag?

Is that dope still around?

Didn't know that.

Bad break on that blooper by Alonso.

I thought he was hurt again......

Plus, the first baseman covered first.

I don't think they do that anymore. Analytics took over. Good point, though.

That throw form the rookie Ranger LF was one of the worst ever. It was Benintendi-esque.

Regardless, a good way to lose baseball games is to have 8 and 9 hitters who you just know are not gonna get the run in.

Did Quero get a late break from third?

1. Getz reads SoxTalk. 2. He got the idea of sending Vaughn to Charlotte here.

Makes me wonder how they'll screw up on #10 in July.

Sox got two extra outs in their big inning, and they took advantage. It was the best inning of the season.

yep.

Vaughn did not play for Charlotte last night. Elko did, however.
