Oppor has been a mess this season. Sadge.

Really like what Braden and Zavala have been doing lately.

May be about time to shut down Oppor. One thing I picked up at Spring Training when chatting with some of the families of minor leaguers: they felt like Christian was fundamentally a good kid, but also that he was perhaps arrogant and not easy to coach. That said, they thought he had noticeably grown up so maybe that's not such a live issue anymore. Either way, whatever he's doing right now is really, really not working.

WS home broadcast followed this up by echoing my own thoughts on how much more dynamic this offense is compared to previous years.

And then DePino hit a HR lol

107mph, 409ft

Just as Gonzalez's season numbers were returning to his norms, he nudges them back up. And that one was no cheapie whatsoever. At 107.3mph, I wasn't 100% sure he had a swing that could hit a ball that hard in the air. Good for him, I hope he's figuring something out.

All they gotta say is something about biomechanics and I'll feel better.

Braden is on an insane tear. Started slow and is more than making up for it.

Shelton should be in AA at this point

Braden has been killing it from the left side this year. Promote him to AAA already and move Bonemer and Shelton to AA

Does he even need to go to AAA?

Braden has enough whiff in his game that I really worry about the consequences of being too aggressive promoting him. Not to mention that you want to give him reps from both sides of the plate. Entering today, he only had 6 plate appearances against left-handed pitchers all season.

Agreed. No rush on promoting him in my opinion. And whatever time he has left in the minors, I'm fine with 75%+ of it being in Birmingham anyway.

Zavala heater continues

Would be really nice to have Zavala turn into something.

Some wrote him off way too early.

f*** that noise. We're the f'ing WHITE SOX. We don't pamper these wimps by forcing them to do a year+ at every level. We throw them to wolves and let them sink or swim.

Call up Braden and let's see if he's got the stones to make it in this league.

I definitely did. He's been awesome. Him turning into something would be huge.

The usual subjects who think everything is a disaster.
