Quin

Nastrini for opening day starter

Did not expect to see White Sox personnel (Bannister) to appear in a Mark Rober video, so that lifts my spirits somewhat.

Flipped on to watch after finishing TV. Crochet's strikeout pitch on Turner was so smooth.

Literally just walk across the Camelback Ranch complex and ask Friedman to go to lunch.

The position players are gonna be fun to watch. Hopefully Eder gives some good performances the further he gets from having surgery. Would be nice to see more from Leasure. Will always enjoy watching cheap draft guys like Coffey try to stick around. Cousin, well, I want him to succeed purely because of The Bear.

Yoelqui getting the Charlotte bump. Meanwhile...game 2 didn't happen?

I'm so glad we have Paul Sullivan to point this out for us. God damn, it must be nice to write columns that are just "hey, look at this obvious s%*#!" and get paid for it. The best part is he fucks up the first line. She never says it in the entire song. Instead, she says "and we'll never be royals." Next from Paul Sullivan: Dylan Cease did not have a great year. Maybe it's time he threw better pitches.

With the Padres imploding, the Marlins are about to be your new Yasiel Puig/Royals/Padres, aren't they? A true parting gift from Kenny.

Yeah, the Reinsdorf Method is "play it safe." Sign the Keuchels, Grandals, Melkys, Benintendis, and LaRoches of the world as your big gets vs. actually signing big free agents like Machado or Harper in their prime. Sign older "proven" Cuban prospects vs. shelling out an extra $100,000 for teenagers like Juan Soto. Robert and Abreu are exceptions to this rule. Robert had mega hype. Abreu had quiet hype dating back to 2012. Trade prospects for rentals, cause they're just prospects and prospects are risky. The White Sox Traded Away Prospects Team would be legit scary. The problem is that it worked in 2005, so JR and Kenny got high on their own supply and figured they could build a contender that way. JR basically tells his GM they can only buy a 2012 Honda Civic in 2023.

Do the Giants really get credit for Rodon? Or is that Katz? Or is it Katz, via the Giants?

...do you actually not know who Jomboy is, after being an online baseball fan all these years?

Boy, do I remember when AKME hired a capologist.

This made me look up Enrique Bradfield's numbers and god damnit. That being said, still pulling for Gonzalez. But I have 0 faith in a Getz-led organization to develop him.

Pour one out for Cuban Madrigal.

It seems that I am going to mock this quote for Getz's entire tenure.

David Stearns would take time to assess this winning organization. Can't have that. We've got a baseball teacher in charge.

Personally, I expect Brian Shaw and Lenyn Sosa to have sleepovers.

Clearly, all issues would be solved by a circular locker room.

Nah you're right, I fixed it

But the Padres are the worst team My theory that these two teams are bound by fate due to Tatis might be true after all.

He is literally the GM.

Yeah, the catchers hopping from Winston-Salem to Charlotte for short spells has been done before. I think in part because of the proximity.

Yeah for some reason we're the only team with consistently "baseball stupid" LatAm players. It's a White Sox thing. It's how Chris Getz teaches baseball, apparently.
