It really doesn't matter. we aren't good enough yet any way. but it seemed a little harsh. He did just fine last year.

I do agree that things may be treated a bit difference with Charlotte's playoff series starting next Wednesday. But really, now is the time to be giving some of these fringey guys shots instead of guys we know with 100% certainty will not be on the 40 man in 2 months. Yeah, I'd pretty much leave Charlotte more or less intact until they bounce out of their playoffs. But, I'd disagree that "now" would be the time to give the fringey guys shots. The time was, well, May, once Machado wasn't signed, and Rodon went down. In any case, none of the players on the 40 man in Charlotte are all that interesting, IMO; I really don't want to squander the service time of Robert/Madrigal, unless they sign extensions first.
September 1, 20196 yr So let me get this straight...the Sox aren't calling up Collins, Mercedes, or Mendick?

The Knights are going to be the wildcard team if they don’t mess up the next two games. More moves will come after the playoffs but don’t expect anyone who hasn’t already played for the Sox this season.

September 2, 20196 yr Charlotte is taking a dive. Soon we will have a new catcher or two. Wonder about pitchers. Banuelos coming back so the 40 is now full. He got lit up last week and Kubat had a bad outing. The team really collapsed. Banuelos needs to go. Mediocre pitchers who get injured are the worst.
September 2, 20196 yr Considering all the meaningless games the Sox play vs Det KC and Sea in September, I really don't see much baseball value in calling up Robert or Madrigal. If these guys are like Moncada or Eloy or any other recent Whitd Sox prospect, this month plus the first 2 weeks of next season isn't going to make or break their MLB performance in 2020.

September 2, 20196 yr Game over, they managed to lose six of their last seven. That contender experience was invaluable.

This was probably their only chance for the post season. I can't see it happening next year. Please no more leadership from those who were from the Cub's organization.

September 2, 20196 yr Author Guessing Ruiz, Covey, Collins and Vieira. One of Tilson or Palka. Hoping Palka, guessing Tilson.
September 2, 20196 yr Pumping some new life into this lineup would give us something to be of interest. There is virtually no entertainment value in the current product.
September 2, 20196 yr Five hits today for Madrigal. Oh my! Can't wait until Robert & Madrigal inject some life into our lineup.
September 2, 20196 yr Meanwhile, Gavin Lux batting 8th for the Dodgers tonight. Yes, I know, different circumstance. I would have had Robert and Madrigal up a month ago.

September 3, 20196 yr Why would Yermin not be brought up? He has hit for average and power at every level.
