Why does Bryan Shaw pitch every day? Is it Grifol's revenge on the fan base?

Ramos called out on a 3-2 head high fastball. Man, is minor league umpiring terrible.

Charlotte lost 13-7 with their nearly prospect-free roster. Only thing of note: Seby left the game after 3 innings behind the plate and 1 ab. Might be easing him back into defense.

Nothing like pitching in the launching pad to teach a pitcher the importance of throwing strikes.

Early start for Charlotte. https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=08/26/2023 https://www.milb.com/scores/all/all/whitesox

I think it's an A.J. Hinch situation. The years away from the game cover the suspension. The only ones with that legally-dubious set up is college athletics with their "show cause" punishment.

It's already been run into the ground. At this point, they'll be tunneling.

Small sample size but Korey Lee may not be great at calling games/working with pitchers.

That's the joke.

Kelley gives up a single then walks 2 guys to lose the game. He's a complete mess. I hope our new GM fires the farm director because development in this system is nonexistent.

Barons do not score. Top 5 is 1-28 w/10K. Aside from Thompson, they do not deserve to win this game.

Popeye with the Golden Sombrero. The last 3 series they have won the first 3 games, then lost the next 3. They have won the first 3 of this series and have played a pretty bad game tonight. Let's see if they can break the pattern.

Kanny holds on 10-8.

Kanny scores 2 in the 7th and 3 in the 8th, but their horrific bullpen gives up 1 in the 7th and 3 in the 8th. Could be the 4th consecutive walk off loss for them.

4-4 now. Tough inning for Quero: catcher interference, throwing error and a passed ball.

Barons in the midst of blowing it. 4-3 now. Tons of sloppy defense by both teams in this game.

Shaw?! Why not run out the AAAA guys in a 12-4 game?

Man, the middle relief at every level of this farm system is horrific.

Ha ha Nick Allen 4-4 HR 5 rbi. Pathetic.

Quero just got robbed.

Matt's probably done. 5IP 2H 1R 1ER 3bb, HBP, 7K. 50/87 pitches for strikes. He was very good tonight, but his delivery falls apart at times. He has a herky jerky motion that may need to get smoothed out. That said, he was solid.

Bad looking lefty/lefty K for Gonzalez.

Kanny up 4-1. Gonzalez robbed of a hit, gets sac fly out of it. Decent contact to right.

Kanny up 1-0. Gonzalez HBP.

That list is not terrible. Baldwin was a borderline all star before he was hurt, Parque was also cromulent and then hurt, Kip Wells had moments both with the Sox and Pittsburgh, and Buerhle had his number retired. If we get that out of our current crop of pitchers, that is certainly not worst case scenario.
