My mom just texted me. She just dropped our dog off at our dogsitter since we're heading to Milwaukee tomorrow. The dogsitter has another dog from someone who's going to be in Milwaukee this weekend, but his seat is in the bullpen and he's wearing #34.

Wow, how did he score a ticket for a seat in the bullpen? Did he win some type of raffle? 

?

So your dogsitter is Kopech's dogsitter  ?

I guess so. When my mom dropped off the dog she mentioned that we were headed to Milwaukee to see the Sox. The dogsitter told her that the other two dogs she had for the weekend belonged to Kopech. I wasn't there this time, and St. John seems kinda far out to be an area a player would be, but last time we used this sitter I'm the one that dropped the dog off and this is a 70ish year old woman who isn't likely to make something like that up.

50 minutes and 33.6 miles away. Not too bad depending on the time of day. Probably drops the dog for road trips and lives nearby. St. Johns is supposed to be a very nice place.

Also in tonight’s lineup so unlikely he’d be coming tomorrow either. Monday makes more sense. 

There is no chance in hell they‘re calling him up in an NL park

My source said he flew to Milwaukee to eat Chik-Fil-A and celebrate at the parade before flying back to Charlotte to play Thursday night.

Per Mark Gonzalez' story yesterday, Eloy will be in LF, Andrew Vaughn is learning RF, 3B and is also considered as a pinch hitter with "great guts".

"Pinch-hitting, he's got great guts. What a future."... "I could play him (at third) today or tomorrow," La Russa said.

Quote

"Right now we're talking about making sure he (fields) balls in batting practice in right field," coach Daryl Boston said. "With Eloy returning soon, you never know where (Vaughn) may end up."

12 years ago today, the White Sox played major league outfielders in right, center AND left field.

 

It kind of gets forgotten, but AV being able to play LF is one of the first half's more important stories.  It would be fun to go back and read the first few pages on the thread about that potential move.  Vaughn = 1B, LF, RF, 3B, DH, AND PH.   He also has a catcher's build: relatively short, but solid and powerful

My sources are so inside that no one has ever seen them.

Actually, there is a deadline for him to return. 

(Yes, I am being an a** by picking apart the word choice.)

I hope they can lay off that slider tonight 

Yeah I don't see us scoring a lot this series.

Taking fastballs and chasing sliders will be a very bad approach

Please get a quality left handed hitting 2nd baseman

3 dominant RHP like this is pretty much the worst matchup imaginable for the Sox.

If the Sox had a deeper system I think the Adam Frazier trade would already be done.

Hell of a play by Abreu!
