Lynn vs Keller

Go Sox.

Gamethreads were fun when Colome was with the team the 1st time doing his high wire act closing out games. He usually made it interesting but would finish off the save. Alas, no more.

I hope Nick Padilla doesn't suck.

That's how you fix a bullpen.  Keep sorting out dorks until you find ones who suck less than the first bunch did. So Hahn knows something.  But Colome was a hoot and a half the first time here.  My stomach lining will never be the same.  Useful for a couple of years.  Worth Narvaez?   I say yes.

7.1 BB/9 in Charlotte.

Something about him fitting right in..

A day without Billy Hamilton is like a day without sunshine. Find it hard to conceive his legs and hamstrings are capable of being injured.

Jeff Cohen of Sox Machine sure did nail it with his astute baseball observations that Rick Hahn has really developed a strong Triple-A club to supply the White Sox big league team with ample talent.  https://soxmachine.com/2023/05/credit-white-sox-rick-hahn-for-building-roster-depth-in-triple-a-charlotte/

First paragraph: Rick Hahn isn’t getting much love these days, but early returns suggest he did at least one thing really well in 2023. Thanks to Hahn, the Triple-A Charlotte Knights is home to ample roster depth for his major-league squad.

Third paragraph: Thus far, the Knights have supplied the White Sox with 11 players: Jake Burger, Lenyn Sosa, Jesse Scholtens, Adam Haseley, Tanner Banks, Billy Hamilton, Alex Colomé, Nick Padilla, Keynan Middleton, Sammy Peralta and most recently Carlos Perez.

Scorecard: Of the 11 sent up:  Jake Burger IL, Billy Hamilton - IL,  Jesse Scholtens - back down, Tanner Banks - back down, Sammy Peralta - back down, Alex Colomé - DFA

 

Grandal and Seby in the same lineup, wat

Could have been a nice time to give Remillard a try.

Not even sure Marisnick and Padilla qualify as deck chairs. Maybe towel racks?

The White Sox still don't have a starting catcher to replace the second most expensive Sox player in Grandal...thanks to Hostetler/Collins. 

So back on the FA market for Realmuto...not!, at least not until his his very final 1-2 years in the big leagues when he has absolutely nothing left like our former Brewers/A's guy who was really good 4-5 years earlier before we brought him on board. 

Perez, Zavala and pray for Salas... 

Look at the Cardinals' mess with Contreras attempting to replace Molina in order to to just see how important a quality defense-first veteran backstop really is.

Or pick up former Sox arms...? 

I jest, a bit.  It's the anti-Hahn plan made famous by George Costanza in the 1990s Yankees' front office. 

Hahn Comedy of Errors at least via providing some relief looking at yet another be fiddling set of rosters moves where other execs must be shaking their heads as they come across the transactions wire.

And we haven't even come close to the average of 11-13 MLB starting pitchers used per season. 

And with Martin out indefinitely...might as well just throw Vera out there to see what happens. 

Or Yosimar Cousin after an extended layoff defecting from Cuba. 

Almost like they completely ignored SP depth due to dementia.

Like having Fisk and Bench!

Probably explains the extreme hot and cold streaks he always seems to have.

God our coaches suck. Bring in all these raw latin guys and nobody has the ability to help them. It's so stupid and short sighted.
