That was my take as well. I could see a LH bat like Sheets platoon with Vaughn at DH. Collins has been better than expected but maybe the Sox want a better LH hitter than Collins to put in the line-up vs RH starters.

Anger?

I'm very happy to see Kopech back. He could really help us win some of these close games that our pen has been blowing.

Fans whining about ownership not spending enough money is pretty lame. I see Cub fans questioning Joe Ricketts about why he didn't sign Schwarber for 9 Million. Ownership takes many things into consideration when signing players to big contracts. They don't just keep spending and spending to satisfy the hunger of rabid fans.

Maybe hold your horses and see how the next few weeks pans out. the Sox should be able to play ,500 + baseball against the Twins and Detroit and make it to the All Star break in pretty good shape. At that point more players will be available from teams that throw in the towel.

Little Cespy should be moved up a notch in the Minors based on his first few games. Maybe he eventually gets to the major league club later this year. Eloy/Robert/Cespy outfield.

Obviously we need to score a lot of runs to beat the Twins who can really hit the ball. I hope Sheets or Yermin can pop a 3 run homer. How about a blowout win for a change? A two run lead into the 9th no longer seems that comfortable.

Hendriks is a joke. Kopech should be our Closer when he comes back.

No walks. Please.

Close your eyes for this AB by Cruz.

I wish Kopech was back.

Time for the Vulgarian devil dog.

TLR working magic with this ragtag roster

Sox need a home run .

Leury should be DFAed according to a few posters here.

This is Marshall's last batter.

So who would you put in? LOL.

Without Kopech there isn't anybody in the pen that can stop the Twins.

Kopech is greatly missed.

If Eaton or Leury were out there, that is an out.

Eloy will be in LF. So sorry.

I love ball-busting, rally-killing double plays......when the OTHER team hits into them.

A player like Abreu who has had a track record of success in the majors will likely make adjustments and turn it around. I think scouts have found a vulnerability in his swing or approach including perhaps his tendency to be late on outside high fastballs with 2 strikes on him. Whatever the case, I think he will adjust. Maybe he is pressing now and swinging to hard to hit a home run. All he has to do is connect. His arms are like tree trunks. Meanwhile, he is gold glove quality D at first. The other problem now is that neither Mercedes nor Vaughn have been providing him with much protection. We need ALL of them to rake.

Condolences from my family and friends to Jerry, his children and their families. We are life long White Sox fans who are still grateful to Jerry for keeping the White Sox in Chicago and restoring the credibility of the franchise. I did not realize that Martyl was a jewelry designer that designed the White Sox 2005 World Series ring and likely others given to players over the years. I never met her but I am sure she was a great person and that her loss will be deeply felt.

Do you discount the possibility that he is a Covid long hauler or has other lingering physical injuries that he may be able to overcome?
