Let’s finish this off today. Go White Sox!!!

Just saw that Sox are playing Caleb Bonemer in CF in the Arizona Fall League. Not sure if he played there at end of the season or not. Move makes sense.

Looking forward to taking the series tonight. Go Sox!

Looking forward to taking a 2-0 lead in the series tonight. Go Sox!

Hey, I care about Colorado St. Well at least as far as they are in the Pac 12 and they were playing my Oregon St team when that happened. If you haven’t seen the Beavers play this year and you enjoy offense, I’d encourage you to check them out. Next two games are on USA at 7 CT. Beavers are...

To answer your first question, because a lot of fans think they are smarter than the managers and players out there, think it is easy to adjust your swing/approach at the MLB level to every situation, and that a10+ WAR isn’t good enough.

Ends up 1 for 3 with two RBI, a run scored. a walk and a strikeout. Batted second and played RF. Angel Cepeda, who was promoted along with Hartshorn, went 2 for 4 with a run scored and a strikeout. Kane Kepley had 4 SBs, making him the first minor leaguer to get to 70 this season. In all...

I’ve always been higher on Smith than I have been on Schultz Since the start of 2025 season across AA, AAA and now the majors — in all 152 innings — Smith’s BA against is under .200. Included in there are his 18 innings at the MLB level where batters are hitting just .117. Control has always...

Not so fast. How crazy would it be to ditch some of then bullpen and roll out Steele (likely) Shelby Miller (probably not) and Jaxon Wiggins (even more probably not) instead for the playoffs.

While MLB.com does indeed list Ayers as C/1B, he will be a catcher. I believe he was a little late to the catching game, so that position designation is probably a holdover from when things weren’t as clear. This year he’s started 67 games at catcher, 39 at DH and only 11 at 1B. Not sure about...

He’s played almost exactly the same amount of games at 1B as he has at OF. He actually has played a fair amount more games at 1B than OF in A+ ball, but that could be because of the roster makeup there. He’s a big boy already — listed at 6-0, 220 — so very real chance he ends up full-time at 1B...
