I hope the people clamoring for Machado realize that Tim Anderson is a better defensive shortstop than Machado.

Every game against KC is a must lose game.

I believe it has been reported that he’s going to JUCO

This is a bad move on Stewart’s part. The odds that he is good enough to be a top ten again are incredibly slim, he’s missing out on a lot of money even if the Braves are only offering him a max of 40% of the slot value for the eighth overall pick. Did he not see Brady Aiken? With being said, I do like players who bet on themselves and I’ll be rooting for Stewart and watching him closely next year.

Yeah it stinks that they won’t be playing for a MILB team but there are ways to make up lost playing time like instructs, winter leauges, and the AFL. I don’t think that Jimenez was going to come up this year anyway. The Sox should probably get Robert one of those mits Trout and Ohtani wear.

Keep in mind that Ronald Acuna Jr was signed for $100K. I’m not saying that these guys are destined to be at his level but a lot of the time it’s the low level guys who breakout and become stars. Their prices are also determined by how many teams see them, the profile of the trainer, and so soon an agreement was made.

I didn’t get any sleep tonight but I did watch every Adley Rutschman video on YouTube and the dude can play. He’s making every play in the CWS. He’s the guy I want at this moment.

Me and my entire family saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (Felt really silly typing that out) on Thursday night in a real IMAX theater and I loved it. I think it’s way better than Jurassic World and easily the best since the original. I know it’s been getting some mixed opinions online, so I saw it again tonight to make sure that I wasn’t Phantom-Menacing the film. And yeah, I love it. The film struggles to get going but it when it does it’s an incredibly fun ride. Easily the scariest entry in the franchise. The director, JA Bayona, said that he said that he pitched a gothic Spanish thriller to Spielberg and Trevorrow which landed him the job and I think that angle is well executed. So many directions where they can take the sequel(s)

Some names to keep an eye on Joe Girardi Raul Ibanez - Dodgers Special Assistant to GM Brad Ausmus - Angels Special Assistant Brandon Hyde - Cubs Bench Coach/Has ties to the Sox Chris Woodward - Dodgers Third Base Coach Sandy Alomar Jr. - Indians First Base Coach/Has ties to the Sox Bo Porter - Braves Special Assistant Jayce Tingler - Rangers Special Assistant Josh Paul - Angels Bench Coach/Has ties to the Sox/Angels Catcher who dropped the third strike on AJ in the 2005 ALCS I was all for the Sox going after and hiring Gabe Kapler to replace Robin Ventura. Now, I still want someone who fits that mold.

Nice way to start the game by Moncada. And I will never understand batting Anderson 7th if the Sox are serious about his development. They need to bat him higher in the order where he can get more at bats and more at bats of consequence.

I don’t mind the loses but I can’t stand the poor fundamentals

This poor communication on the field and the poor display of fundamentals has to be a reflection of the manager right?

He's no Eli

Does anyone know if the White Sox have an in-house sports psychologist on staff? I know that is an area that the Cubs have invested heavily in but I wonder if the Sox have done the same. I ask because Lucas Giolito is a massive headcase seems like

Yeah that's true but he when he signed his deal he was an established star player in the league. Rodon isn't that so you could get something team friendly

I assumed everyone was on that wavelength

Regarding Rodon, if I were Rick Hahn, I would approach him about a long-term extension. I know that his agent is Scott Boras but Boras did secure an extension for Steven Strasburg, who has been more injury prone than Rodon throughout the course of his career. The Sox do need to start keeping some guys around and signing Rodon to a team friendly extension also makes him more valuable.

Luca Dalatri striking out 15

Another guy to follow is Gianluca Dalatri

Nick Lodolo is my pick to go 1-1

A big part of me was hoping that they would cut an under slot deal with a prep player like Jordan Groshans for example and go crazy in the following rounds but I don’t know how well that strategy works when you don’t have comp/sandwich picks

Reminder that Dayton Moore came up with the Braves

All the athletes, please.
