At first blush I felt disappointed on the better version of GFloyd. Went back and looked at his numbers and not a bad comp.
Damn, *I* had to remind myself how solid Gavin was. If Giolito can be a 4 WAR pitcher for us, sign me up.

Didn't have a chance to see Giolito pitch. Sounds like I missed a good one yesterday.
I like that Renteria talked with hm, and apparently asked if he thought he could finish. Almost backfired, but it was just a long foul ball, not a grand slam. He then pitched out if it, which was impressive.
Double edge sword I guess. You know you are building for the future, yet you want to win games. You want to build a guy's confidence, and show your confidence in him so do you pull hm with a 5-0 lead in a jam or let him pitch out of it? If you are managing just to win THAT game you pull him. Managing for the future, you leave him in. Worst case is still a one run lead.
1 more month to go get that top draft pick. With Gonzalez gone, Id say Hahn traded off as much as he could. FWIW I think Avi gets traded this offseason.
That Giolito line
Because of injuries, I had to start Giolito in my fantasy baseball playoffs. Its a Quality start league, so when he got through the 6th and had 7 Ks, I was yelling at my TV, "Don't send him out for the 7th" Then he goes out for the 7th and strikes out the side. I knew he had it in him.That Giolito line
Most important series of the season starts tonight.
Rodon MRI today. Breath=held.
Welp
And for those who missed the game last night and are wondering what happened during Gio's start, here's an illustration of all pitches that were called balls last night:
ELEVEN. Just give us robot umps already.
Interesting read. Did not know Sox employed the youngest manager in pro baseball.
.@ymoncada19 of the @whitesox is the first player under 23 to reach base 6 times in a game since Mike Trout in 2013.
Yoan Moncada is the first White Sox player to reach base 5 times in a game before he turned 23 since Frank Thomas in 1991.
you won't have to look hard to find my response to that tweet

I was looking for a hat for my 2 year old son (never to early to brainwash him with a Cardinals fan for a mom)
I came across this gem of a lid.... https://www.lids.com/chicago-white-sox-new-era-mlb-retro-classic-59fifty-cap/20942496
I think the late 80s early 90s uniform is underrated as a throwback. With the team using the other throwbacks for several years now, I wonder if they start to work these uniforms in. I would be on board with it.
