Good rule.  Credit the players whenever possible.  

Obviously if there is a lead change it gets super dicy, but nothing has really changed from the bottom of the 6th.  

Just started raining really hard. I’m ubering out. Didn’t quite beat the traffic

I honestly believe if the player does something, they earn it.  I honestly do not care how it affects the game.  If it happened, it happened.  Anything in regulation counts

Number 1 

You can put it on the boarddddddddd, YES!!!!

speaking of which, when they show career stats a hitter has against a pitcher, does it take into account postseason at bats?  I didn't think it did, as I recall seeing someone facing a pitcher and I remember that hitter having a huge homer against the guy and it said he didn't have any success against him.

Just bc Eloy wanted to out do himself here is ? number 2 of the night!!!

Eloy, Moncada, Anderson tearing it up.  The minors is bubbling with talent.  The rebuild has been on.  Get aboard or get out.

You clearly haven’t been following the minors this season bro.

Robert and Cease.........and then yikes.  It's not bad though, if I had to pick one prospect I wanted to succeed, I would say Robert and then Cease.

@Chicago White Sox says you must be miserable.  This rebuild is a disaster.

 

Only one top prospect since Frank Thomas?  What a disaster.

I haven’t once expressed concern about Eloy this season.  But I’m also a realist and not going to pretend everything is rainbows & unicorns right now.  I know you get off telling everyone how stupid they are, but your optimism isn’t based on anything objective.  Three or four players isn’t enough for a successful rebuild.

I'm not sure what about Zach Collins and Luis Robert would make you so unhappy.  

I didn't even count Cease.

Game was called. 

Eloy got credited with 2 HRs.

No, honestly.  You're just a troll.  Own up to it.  It's a sick joke you have that handle.

How many players are they going to need?  

And did Michael Kopech die in surgery?

Yes, it's super cool that a team that's been tanking for 3 years has those 2 dudes to fall back on right now. Would certainly suck if they were Atlanta or San Diego and have a dozen.

Did we write off Nick Madrigal, btw?

But Collins is going to be so valuable as a 1 WAR platoon first baseman that struggles to hit .225

I like Nick Madrigal and even Hansen but it's really hard to say this rebuild is going well, even including them.

Low rent.

It's too bad this place has become a cesspool of non-takes.  I mean, for God's sake this is worse than a Bulls board.  You're watching the best White Sox prospect since Frank Thomas and you still find a way to moan.  After a win.

Hit it with an optimistic take. I'm down with buying in, just need a good take.

We have a real good talent pool in the minors- don’t let them fool you into believing otherwise 

Just got home. Will this game be replayed on WGN later ?

Can we start with the obvious?  Neither Moncada nor Eloy look overmatched in the slightest and even in losses we get production from our prospects.  

The progress from these guys is very pleasing.
