Wow. I wonder if Taylor's HR will hold up. Sox got the one hit needed to win one against Benetti's boys.

Smith is going to be our ASG rep, crazy

Speaking of pitchers did Drew Thorpe ever get TJS? I can’t find any update.

Is Vinny Capra any good? He has quite the name, reminding folks of Cousin Vinny and Frank Capra. I wonder if Vinny is having a wonderful life.

Go back to sleep Greg

Not to change the subject, but is Colson M. hurt again?

Did you guys know Rojas is from Hawaii?

Can we send him back?

The White Sox used to have the Islanders AAA team in the PCL back in the day.

Rockies have won 2 in a row over the Marlins...

11-50

 

White Sox 15-46 a year ago, 4 games ahead (or behind) that pace

Does going to college there for 2 years count as being "from" Hawaii? 

Meidroth not much of a baserunner

No...Obama's a better example.

Kindergarten	1966–1967	Honolulu, Hawaii
1st–3rd grade	1968–1970	Jakarta, Indonesia
4th grade	1970–1971	Jakarta, Indonesia
5th–12th grade	1971–1979	Honolulu, Hawaii (Punahou elite private school)

Is he better than Nick Madrigal, that's all that matters, lol...

I like Slater

 

Also this Tigers reliever sucks

Trade Slater/Taylor/Tauchman...guaranteed that the Padres would take Slater or Tauchman at this point.  Heyward has been terrible and probably is done.

Leasure is painful to watch

Wow. Shocked he got out of that.

It's a chant, not a cheer John

Maybe Robert should never play again. They always look so much better without him.

Hit on the patella with a pitch.

No Robert or Sosa is a winning combination. 

Even Vinny Capra with a hit

Glad they scored some runs for Shane for a change.

It is odd like he was a cancer to the team

Need to get the remaining stench of the last core out of here

He’s going to ride the pine the next two days, and deservedly so. He’s been bad, and his speed in stealing bases isn’t very helpful with a .266 OBP, and that is really buoyed by his walks.

While he does lead the team in walks by a few, he leads in strikeouts by 20.

1. Detroit Tigers (40-21) 📈

 

 

Much better. It’s not just that the Tigers have amassed the best record in baseball, though that obviously helps their case as the first team to dethrone the Dodgers in our power rankings this season. It’s that Detroit’s success has been thoroughly comprehensive. This team excels in nearly all phases of the game, and has compiled a gaudy record as a result. OK, fine, the Tigers rank 30th in stolen bases with just 21 swipes in 60 games. But beyond the running game, the Tigers are above average or better across the board: fifth in runs per game, eighth in wRC+, fourth in rotation ERA, third in bullpen ERA, and ninth in Statcast’s Fielding Run Value. Last year’s surprise run to the ALDS was merely an appetizer. This year’s Tigers look like a legit threat to win it all.

 

We beat the #1 team in MLB, yay!!!

#29 White Sox

Ever so slightly better. A 5-21 record in April elicited some terrifying fears that the Sox could be heading for a historically bad campaign for a second straight season, but a much more respectable showing in May combined with the infallible fact that Chicago is no longer the worst team in baseball has eased those concerns somewhat. This team is still very bad, but there are enough good things happening (Miguel Vargas, Shane Smith) and hopefully more young talent on the way (Hagen Smith, Kyle Teel) that should ensure this season is more run-of-the-mill bad compared to being a league-wide laughingstock like last year.

 

#30 Rockies

So much worse. The Rockies have lost all 19 series they have played this season and have been swept 10 times. They are scoring the fewest runs per game of any team and allowing the most runs per game of any team. Colorado is plummeting to rock(ie) bottom as a franchise, and are comfortably on pace to make everyone forget about how bad the 2024 White Sox were. Buckle up, it’s not going to get much better from here.
