5/28 White Sox vs Royals game 2
That's funny shit. Kind of sucks Cordell is gonna get the short end of the stick when Jay starts playing. Dude will play like, what, 3 months on the team? Him and Alonso, what a waste this is turning out to be.

McCann...our all-star catcher. Really, we have reasonably 3 possibilities for not only all-stars but all-star starters: McCann, Anderson, and Abreu (who needs to start picking it up again) And then Gio probably representing us on the pitching end of it, although not starting obviously. But wow, great realistic possible representations...great progress all things considering.

I'll take the sac fly and extra base...don't really like Jose swinging on the 1st pitch after a 4 pitch walk but he got the run in I guess. Still can't effing believe Yonder is hitting behind him. How the hell is it that our designated hitter, the guy's job who is to hit and only hit, is literally the worst hitter on the team? He has pitcher-like hitting numbers.

Why do fans continue to go after balls that are fair when it is made very clear that you will be removed from the game if intentionally interfering with a ball in play?

Fulmer 26th man
Hopefully Gio can go 7 innings tonight and we won't need Fulmer, and/or the offense comes alive and we are up by so many runs it won't matter if Fulmer comes in or not.

5/28- Royals vs Sox (5th inn on)
Man I really hope Yolmer is around as our primary back-up infielder for our contending years.

Beautiful Yolmer. Now he can have all the gatorade he wants.

Was gonna say this...but I wouldn't with 5 infielders

5th infielder...interesting. Time for Yolmer to hit a sac fly.

Great job by Rondon to lay off that sinker.

I really hope he becomes our catcher of the future and we don't have to put all our hope in Collins or a free agent we will never get.

I just never know where to put Anderson in the lineup. He's got speed and pop, but isn't a big on base guy. I don't think I would bat him 2nd for the low OBP, but I wouldn't really bat him 5th in a good lineup either. His spot may just be in the 6th spot in a good lineup, 7th in a great one.

In order for this thing to work, we need surprises to happen, just like Bummer. What a pitcher he is turning out to be, and if he continues what hes doing, well, there is one of our future set-up guys. Gio is another nice surprise. We need these guys to fail, go home and get their shit together for an offseasom, and come back totally reinvented and ready to win. That's what it's going to take.

Only thing is, those developments arent all going to happen at the same time. You vould say that Tim is there already, although we will see how this wrist thing affects him. I think Moncada is still showing flashes, but Eloy is gonna be a little while, Robert wont even be up until next season. In my humble opinion, this rebuild cant be considered a success or a failure until at least the end of 2024 season when all of these guys have been given ample time to develop into quality major league players

Its just weird to me because, most of us here are Sox fans because we grew up in the Chicago area or because we had family that did, and if the Sox never existed we would probably be cubs fans. Same thing with Cubs fans, they would be Sox fans if the cubs never existed.

Injuries have just slowed this whole thing down so much. Maybe not derailed it, but definitely slowed it way down. Kopech and Cease should be up here right now. Robert and Dunning should be knocking on the door, Burdi should be up, Burger should be in AA, Basabe and Hansen in AAA, Adolfo probably in MLB. Injuries just have sucked the life out of this whole thing.
