Timmy U

Basically, his defensive profile is not great, may be 1b/DH ultimately and he makes a lot of poor swing decisions so the probability that he gets to his power is limited. That said, he’s hit everywhere he’s been and he’s been on fire since going to Birmingham, so I think there’s upside.

Kopech actually deserves a better fate. He's had some terrible batted ball luck in this inning.

Nastrini has been sent to the launching pad in Charlotte.

Another long hit for Colson. Misses a HR by a foot. Gets a double and Veras drives him in. Barons trail 8-7.

Quero not in the lineup again. Hurt?

Sox a different team with good YoYo. Maybe he hated Hahn and KW?

Both Sosa and Colas are swinging much better lately.

Man, what the hell is going on? 2019 Moncada is back?

That 68 mph single was as good as a HR.

Beni just got under that a tad. His wrist must be feeling better. Blackburn is not fooling a lot of guys.

Think anyone regrets not trading for Clevinger at the deadline? He's certainly throwing well since he got back from the bicep.

When Sosa stays in the strike zone, he looks pretty good.

It's almost like 2 of the worst 4 teams in baseball are playing each other.

Ha ha. Vaughn is slow. But we take that one too.

Vaughn has crushed two balls. If only he had some launch angle.

We take that one.

I hope he gives that pitch to Clevinger.

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.
