Looks pretty solid in LF to me. The at bats have been ugly, tho.

Carlos looks good. Happy for him.

It is far far far far too early to write off the pen. Injuries to 2 of our best 3 players....now that is another story. Hopefully TA is back by the weekend.

You don't make a roster move for Mendick if TA is out for a day or two.

No Micker either. strange.

My guess would be he's at DH on Wednesday when Collins is likely catching.

Has there been an update from the Sox to indicate that Tim is anything different than day-to-day?

TLR has already said Vaughn and Yemin are playing the next two days. So I would assume that means Vaughn is in LF next two days unless Yermin is catching one of those days.

Ok? Mendick may be on the taxi squad, but he's far from a solution for this team.

Yeah, its rough. I mean the reason is obvious - they're playing on the west coast. But these 910pm starts the next two nights are gonna make for a rough Tuesday and Wednesday.

Well, he certainly has a place on the team right now. He's legitimately may be their best option in LF at the moment., and only backup at SS and 2B. Leury is a more than competent bench piece. He is not a guy that is going to fare well with everyday at bats.

I said he had multiple opportunities to pinch hit for Leury and Hamilton throughout the series. Was not referring to last night with respect to Leury.

There were multiple times in this series with Leury and Hamilton had big PAs and were natural pinch hit spots. Didn't happen once.

We need more from Yoan. Really rough serious from him. We need Madrigal to play better defense. He cost us 1 game, and there was a play last night a good 2B should have made. We need Jose to stop trying to do too much. Two pretty horrible Ks yesterday when the team really needed him. We need to someone (hopefully Vaughn) to grab the LF position by the balls and make it theirs. BIlly Hamilton has been solid so far, but he should be nothing more than pinch runner / late defensive replacement on this team. Lastly, we need Tim to not be seriously hurt. Tough 1st series. Need to get at 2/3 from the M's.

FYI - the White Sox still make the playoffs last year without an expanded playoff format.

Per TLR's postgame comments, seems like truly a day-to-day situation. Said he was feeling better with treatment and likely isn't serious.

He can’t be any worse than Eloy. Truthfully.

The next two games? He should be playing 8-9/10 games. He’s sat 2/4 so far. It’s early but Billy Hamilton should never start over anyone. *fixed typo

Vaughn should not be on this roster if he’s not playing all but once a week.

Sure, but Lamb and Hamilton we knew were on the OD roster and they are the guys they needed to create space for. I sure as shit wouldn't be happy losing Adolfo, Rutherford or Sheets on a waiver claim or for an A ball loto ticket. Nor would I forget about them in a week. Will they be contributors at hte major league level for the Sox? Maybe not. But not exactly 40 man fat IMO. Regardless, the point is, the days of having half of the Sox 40 man being expendable trash are gone. Good thing.

Like, who exactly? Besides Zavala and Gonzalez, the rest of the guys that would be towards the back of the 40 man are all real prospects. Unless you're referring to guys like Adolfo, Rutherford, Burger, Sheets, etc as fluff. Which I wouldn't, but to each their own. ] IMO, the "fluffiest" guys on the 40 man are Billy Hamilton and Jake Lamb. Who are on the MLB roster. For now - but likely not long.

I think until Engel comes back, he's DHing frequently against LHP. You also have to carry 3 catchers if Collins is going to be DHing alot of the time against RHP.

They didn't cut him. They tried to sneak him through waivers and failed. I think Flores was the easiest guy. Zavala or Gonzalez maybe? Zavala likely safe as he's the 4th catcher. The days of us having a bunch of fluff on the 40 man are gone.

Eh. White sox front office built a pretty good team. Also, Vaughn is going to play most everyday. I am not worried about it.

Thought so, but maybe not. Could be confusing you with someone else.
