It's a tough situation to say, "we're gonna fix a guy that the Rays couldn't fix." You can say that about two of those guys, and the third was with Cleveland.

1 run on a double, 2 singles, and a walk. That's not easy to do.

Intellectually, I know Vaughn is slow, but I'm always shocked at just how slow he is.

I think quality of life, getting paid a lot , close to Cincinnati and St. Louis -- he's probably doing fine.

Patino 4IP 3H 1R 1ER 2bb 4K. Not terrible with the walks. If he can throw more strikes, maybe you get a second Touki Toussaint?

Another early one for Charlotte. https://www.milb.com/scores/all/all/whitesox https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=08/27/2023

Sosa, Benintendi, but mostly Moncada homer, Sox pitching is actually pretty good. For essentially an exhibition game, pretty satisfying.

Personally, Getz alone > Getz + Moore, but I am deranged on the subject of Dayton Moore.

Birmingham holds on 6-4. Fraser Ellard struck out the side in the 9th. Funky arm angle, touches 96. Like everyone else in the Sox system, tough when he's throwing strikes. Barons walk 7 but strike out 16.

W-S wins 6-0. Great night for Mason Adams 6IP 1H 0R 0ER 0bb 8K. Burke 3-5, 2b, HR.

IDK. The fact that Mena just went to AAA means he's probably first in line. My guess on the order the Sox will think of promoting their AA pitchers is 1. Mena 2. Nastrini 3. They hope its Eder, but not from what we've seen so far 4. Cannon 5. Bush 6. Matt Thompson. Who knows what's going on with Sean Burke.

Ha ha. Long memory.

Sox fan, but it's easy to root for a guy like Erceg.

Barons get out of it. Still lead 6-4. They've only allowed 3 hits, but have walked 6 guys.

Gil Luna is gonna blow the game for the Barons. Just walked the last 3 guys, walking in a run.

Adams just gave up a single. ☹️

Ky Bush done. Better than the final numbers indicate 5IP 2H (both XBH) 3R 3ER 3bb 7K. You can really see why he could get to the majors on a night like this.

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.
