It will be interesting to see what Keuchel has left. His game always had an extremely narrow margin of error, so figuring one thing out might have a huge impact or he may still be a gas can. As a human, I hope things go well for him.

I hate this team.

Man, I wonder how many analysts you could pay with all the dead money they have from bad mid-tier FA signings like Keuchel, Grandal, Leury etc. Pennywise, pound foolish.

Is this a joke or did he really say that?

We need a weeping because it’s true emoji.

I might have sent Patino to A ball of ACL. Clearly, there’s something wrong. Hard to build something new with confidence in the launching pad.

Grifol hired the hitting coaches. They are his buddies. Probably shows the limits of hitting coaches' influence on improving swing decisions.

Let's go for 8.

Enjoyable-ish game. Barons only affiliate to win. Just like at W-S last year Colson on another level from everyone else in the Sox system. So baseball savvy. One of my favorite small plays for him was when he took third on a ball that barely got away from the catcher and the trail runner did not follow. He just read the bounce. Quero hit three balls hard tonight which was nice. Again, I actually thought Nastrini looked pretty good tonight. Defense and bullpen did not help him.

Make that 2-4, 2K

Wolkow 2-3, 2b, 1b, K

Quero just missed a grand slam. Sac fly.

Watching the Barons pitchers like Dollander who have been there all year, you get a real understanding why they have the worst ERA in the league.

Nastrini is done. They took him out with 2 outs and the horrific Barons bullpen let all the inherited runs scored. 4.2 ip 7r 5er.

Sebastien Walcott homered against ACL Sox, that's 7 already. He's gonna be a mega prospect.

Wolkow double, 1st professional hit.

Colson rbi double.

Didn't see the first 2 innings, but I've liked what I've seen from Nastrini. Change up better than I imagined. Good slider. I imagine the challenge is fastball command.

Hey, at least some of those teams are trying. Witt Jr. on fire for the Royals. I predict 6-10 against those teams. (Which admittedly, is more than 1.)

A team trying to win might have had Robert hit there, but this team isn't even making an attempt. They could lose 110.

2 singles for Colas. Baby steps?

Nice to see that Trayce Thompson is fitting right in.

I just don't know how you can look at the lifeless "core" of this team and not blow the entire thing up -- manager, players, front office, development staff. They are non-competitive to the core.

I just had a terrifying thought: Did the White Sox want Trayce Thompson? I always assumed it was salary swap, but maybe he's someone they want for next year?

Charlotte loses 3-1 in 10. Leasure faced one guy, gave up a long ball. Not great early returns so far.
