A far too early look at playoff pitching questions
I can't see them leaving the lefty that can log a good amount of innings with World Series experience off the roster to keep Ruiz.

White Sox linked to Oscar Colas (duh) and Erick Hernandez
For people who don't want to bother looking it up: #1 - Roderick Arias - SS, Switch Hitter. Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 55 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 55 | Overall: 55 #5 - Colas, who we're all familiar with at this point.: Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 60 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 55 | Overall: 55 #28 - Hernandez, once again to have it in one post. Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 55 | Run: 50 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55 So he's got comparable hit and power to Arias and Colas, but lower run, arm, and field by a tick.

It's FutureSox Top 30 week!
I'm just quoting this so people don't skip it. People also seem to be forgetting that Thompson, Kelley, and Dalquist didn't get rookie ball in the 2020 season.

Dodgers City Connects
I'm going: 1) White Sox: I don't think it's a coincidence that they pitched their own jersey to Nike and came out on top. 2) Marlins: They did something different and stuck the landing. 3) D-backs: If they added some teal, I wouldn't mind if the Serpientes jerseys became permanent road jerseys. They're almost there. 4) Red Sox: Did something different and did not stick the landing. 5) Dodgers: Lazy - but at least there's a single cool detail to keep them above the Cubs and Giants (the spray paint) 6) Cubs: Just. Boring. 7) Giants: Lazy and boring.

Going out on a slight limb saying an OF of a silver slugger, a gold glover (who also rakes), and an MVP candidate would work.

Tatis is at 2B or RF.

COVID Thread Part Deux
Eh, from experience: Day 1 and Day 2 - thought it was a cold, went through a box of tissues. Day 3, got REAL tired, still just a runny nose. Slept through a work seminar despite my best efforts. Thank god it was no cameras and I knew the subject. At hand. By night, my muscles were sore. Day 4: Get a test before work. Muscles start aching real bad, headache sets in. Get positive results mid-day. Check out work (which thankfully is work from home). Lost smell (couldn't smell a strong candle under my nose). Day 5: Slept all day. Muscles feel brutalized - comparable to when I have seizures. Some brain fog. Day 6: About the same, sleep slightly less. I can barely smell candles and deodorant if they're directly under my nose, but that's it. Brain fog clears up. Day 7: Muscles begin to heal up, still sleep most of the day. Day 8: Doing mostly ok at this point. Tired, but moving about. Day 9: Return to work on Monday. Sleepy, but get through it. Crash when work is done. Day 10: Fine

It's FutureSox Top 30 week!
Despite being the bottom ranked system, this Top 30 is wildly better than prospect lists of the dark days (the Simon Castro, Nestor Molina).

Wilfred Veras is a Tatis cousin. Either Marco Paddy is the biggest family friend or is secretly also a member of that family.

Marvel Entertainment Thread
Re: Spider-Man I think they're going for less Spider-Verse (I just can't see Maguire and Garfield having prominent roles in this film if they're included) and more this being Sony's shortcut to their long desired Sinister Six movie. They were probably like "look, you have a wizard that can do multiverse stuff. Everyone loves Molina, Dafoe, and Thomas Haden Church. Foxx is talented. Rhys Ifans was good as Lizard. Just fucking wizard them in and we're good." Also the devil in disguise poster ... fire up the Mephisto / Daredevil conspiracy engines once again!

I honestly thought Episode 1 was weak and Episode 2 was stellar. The long-rumor is they may use these episodes to pilot some live-action characters after - so, who knows.

Best Broadcasters Twitter Poll - Stone/Benetti are unofficially the best TV broadcasters in baseball
Well, if that's the case, then the transitive property would dictate that Len & DJ >>> all TV crews in baseball.

- Best Broadcasters Twitter Poll - Stone/Benetti are unofficially the best TV broadcasters in baseball
Is this ultimately pointless? Probably. But no other crew can harmonize quite like they can, so they deserve your votes.- Do the White Sox need an offensive adjustment?
You're telling me. That's my pick for MLB's moonblast contest.- Sox fan shot and killed on Xpressway coming from game.
