Sleepy Harold

He's on the DL right now.

Call hits his first AA HR, Booker walks, has reached base 4 times tonight.

Here's an article about the swing change he's made...behind the paywall however.

Here it is.

Assigned to Kanny: JJ Muno (from B'Ham), Joe Mockbee (From WS), Drew Harrington (From AZL) Nolan Brown & Michael Hickman activated from DL http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=l_trn&lid=116&sid=t487

http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=l_trn&lid=122&sid=t580 The WS promotions are listed here...Tyler Johnson, Laz Rivera, Luis Gonzalez, Lincoln Henzman, LuBob, Blake Battenfield all assigned to WS, Joe Mockbee sent to Kanny.

Nice.

I'm a tad surprised that the Sox have out-sucked the Reds in this category, but yeah it's been less than ideal.

Yeah it's not just you.

A nice recap of the game here.

This is just a panic move by the Astros since they haven't won a game in 24 HRs....Fleece em Slick Rick!

Tilson just to see what he can do at this point. We've all seen what Engel has to offer, and outside of running rather fast, there's not a whole lot else. I wouldn't necessarily say Tilson has "earned" the shot, but Engel didn't exactly prevent him from getting his opportunity either.

So I guess Thursday is the latest day we'll actually know all of the moves here.

Yeah I think that's the exact strategy of the move. It doesn't hurt too much right now to find out if he can't handle those situations.

Just win baby!...or just lose, I'm confused now.

What exactly are the White Sox competing for this year? I mean it's year 2 of a rebuild, some patience is needed. It wasn't always going to be puppies and rainbows after we dealt away anyone worth anything on the major league roster, it's not a surprise that throwing out a team of majority young players has its struggles. Sure, Ricky does make questionable in game decisions from time to time, but we aren't exactly yielding the Astros or Yankees rosters. Fire Ricky for who at this point? I'd truly like to know what the plan would be post-firing now, I am genuinely curious.

Yeah a lot of movement is expected next week/after the All-Star break's wrap up is my guess.

???

Winston Salem clinched a playoff spot tonight with their win & Buies Creek losing...well done boys!

If the Sox are bailing on Yoan in that timeframe something seriously went wrong.
