Not that close, what was the ump looking at?

Thank you Verdugo!

Story is one of the worst signings in team history. Not really his fault and he seems like a good guy but he's probably missing a lot of time from the looks of it. Not even close, even if you want to blame the team for not magically anticipating his future injuries. Yeah, Panda bear says hold my beer.

Rafaela to short?

Think dislocated shoulder from the way his arm is hanging.

JFC. Story can't catch a friggin break. Broken collar bone or maybe dislocated shoulder.

That would be insane if Breslow got 2-3 effective MLB pitchers for Verdugo. It's also insane that the Yankees have so much minor league pitching depth they could trade them for Verdugo. They also lost 3 in the rule 5 draft, and they traded another 4 for Soto. Slightly OT, it's too bad Sox lost Fernandez who looks like a good RP for the Cardinals.

You cannot take his glove out of the lineup. The Sox likely lose last night if Rafaela is not in CF to make that catch in the 11th. If all else is equal, another guy might not make that catch. But maybe another guy doesn't pop out with the bases loaded in the third, and then pop out again swinging at the first pitch right after Casas walks in the sixth, and then hit soft lineout to shortstop trying to pull an outside changeup with the bases loaded in the 7th. Now that Rafaela is a decent-but-flawed major leaguer rather than a blank-slate prospect, the frustrating parts of his game are going to come to the surface. And there are frustrating parts of his game. Obviously we need to be patient here, but the worries that people are expressing here aren't new, they're the concerns some people had with him as he came through the system and then again last September. Well, who's the other guy? Wilyer "I'm struggling at the plate and I let a ball roll past me in RF" Abreu?

Pssst. Hey Bello, the friggin ump is called really, really low strikes.

I mean...he just signed the first big contract of his career, he is financially set...and from what I've read WhiteSox club house wasn't exactly a happy place. Big money in the bank, no matter what you do + boderline toxic workplace that you can't leave, no matter what you do...not exactly an environment to thrive and play your heart out Didn't realize he signed with White Sox for 5/75. It's stuff like this that makes everyone think they could be the gm of a mlb team. Turns out Winckowski and Gambrell might be a pretty good return after all.

Benny and Verdugo in a race to see who can be out of baseball faster. Five singles combined this year. Benintendi's career is a big surprise to me. Thought he was going to be a perennial 800 ops player with an all-star year or two.

And of course Rafaela would've had that. Thanks Cora!

2 games played and you have a defensive gaffe and get picked off 2b. Not a great start to the season for Abreu.

Wow, he has got to learn to lay off that slider running in. Haven't even seen him make any contact on those pitches.

If I'm Pivetta though, I'm looking for at least 6/160. I don't think Sox would go as high as 4/100. Thus, don't see a path to sign Pivetta to an extension.
And if Jensen is not available, why don't you try to stretch Crawford for a few more outs? Cora was just horrible last night. He's already on his way to burning Winckowski out before the all star break. You could see from the first batter on that Joely had nothing: no velocity and no command. Cora was just hoping to get lucky.

JFC, was the first half of last year a mirage with Yoshida?

With a bit of hitting, can he possibly win ROY? I have $10 at +7500 odds that says YES!
