I would have considered Sheets here.

Well those two singles are about as cheap as they come. Made one bad pitch.

Perez looked like absolute garbage against Cleveland. Maybe try throwing him a breaking ball.

In retrospect this makes me even madder at how bad the Royals looked against Cleveland.

Nice to be the one leading 6-0 for a change.

Wow. Vera is really too good for the DSL. It will be interesting to see when he finally comes to the US. Hopefully he can be stateside for instructs.

I was referring to Minnesota.

Someone traded for JA Happ. If you're willing to eat salary, you could get something for him.

Vaughn looks no bueno right now.

Woo hoo! No shutout.

28 man roster. 4 starting pitchers. Plenty of arms.

Why in God’s name is he still out there?

Maybe Hernandez will cramp up because this inning lasted an hour.

Romy! Romy! Romy!

8-9 vs. the Royals. Yeesh!

Watching Keuchel afraid of contact v. Nicky Lopez makes me wanna puke.

Yes.

Who the hell bunts on Keuchel???

He’s unwatchable.

Carlos Hernandez has impressed me, and not just against us. KC really rolled over for the Guardians, I bet they show up for us. Keuchel needs a short leash.

https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-09-03 https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/03/2021 Hope there is at least some offense today.

Here's an interesting scenario: Let's say Rodon's market value is 4/$90 mil. Kimbrel and Hernandez's combined options amount to $22 million in 2022. Then in 2023, you are out from under $18 million for Keuchel. So, Sox could afford Rodon if they don't bring back Kimbrel and Hernandez. I would argue that Rodon's WAR > Kimbrel WAR + Hernandez WAR and that the Sox could fill a bullpen hole and a 2nd base hole cheaper than getting a TOR starter. What do you guys think?

That's really not a lot considering Leury, Goodwin, Hamilton, Rodon, and Tepera are all free agents at the end of the year. (And one can imagine them not picking up Hernandez's option.) I don't expect the Sox to lose anyone that they really value. I'd be surprised if they protect Sosa or Mieses because they'd be unlikely to be able to stay up all year without destroying their development, but we shall see. If they value Bilous and McClure, I'm sure they'll have room to protect them. Thank God they decimated their 2018 draft class via trades, huh?

Runs were super cheap.
