He had a very low BABIP earlier and now it's starting to normalize by going to the extreme in the other direction.

God forbid they let Schultz throw 5 or even 6 innings. Dude isn't even being challenged in AA, anyway.

114 mph at 18 years old....my God. Savage!

Happy they got the W for Crochet and Robert bombs are always great!

4-5 Top 100s.

10Ks. Filthy

Crochet with 9Ks. The bullpen will almost certainly waste it. Again.

He has limited value though right?

Chicago Tribune Opinion piece title tomorrow: I thought 14 White Sox losses in a row was rock bottom. Then I listened to John Schriffen flirting with a teen gymnast.

I feel that if Schriffen did hockey work on the side, he'd ask the color guy why the losing team is pulling the goalie in the last two minutes. He has a very rudimentary knowledge about sports (at best). He's basically just an airhead cheerleader (just like JR likes it).

He's an all star CF with double plus defense and double plus power under control for 3.5 years. They don't grow on trees. You're damn right I'm going to shred Getz if he doesn't get 3 Top 100s including one Top 10. If Robert has a strong month and a half and shows he's back, they absolutely need to get a massive return. If they get lowballed, then hold onto him till the offseason. The return for Cease was approximately 44m SV. I want alot more than that. Alot more. Like about 70m SV.

That too.

On the contrary, he should still be able to fetch a kings ransom so it makes sense to do it now. We need multiple Top 100 position players ASAP. Robert's salaries are only going to escalate from here, so get as much value as you can. They should still be able to get 3 Top 100s including one Top 10.

Nice to see Wolkow with a bomb!

Agreed. Hopefully before the end of the season, the Sox will allow him to go 6 IP a couple times.

I think Tony wanted all the relievers.

Ownership hasn't been mean spirited and dismissive of the fans forever? f*** em. Vote for Maldonado. If character really matters, make it count!

This would be a great way to mock the team. I support it 100%. 2024 All Star Martin Maldonado. Because character matters.

That would be nice but I doubt Jerry will pay him a season and a half's salary for not working.

Thorpe with 7Ks for @baseball_gal_aly

The whole pitching thing turns on whether Schultz can stick as a SP rather than a super reliever. If he sticks, then he's likely an Ace. I think Thorpe is a good bet to be a solid 4 as he has a high floor. So then the thing is out of Nastrini, Eder, Bush, Taylor and Iriarte, can you get at least ONE solid 2 or 3? If you can, then it's a good homegrown staff and you don't need to supplement with too much FA. Schultz staying healthy and being able to go 6 IP is the key to everything.

I dont know what star level would be but I would say Montgomery needs to be 3 WAR or more and the Top 10 player they get for Robert also needs to be 3 WAR or more. I think between Quero, Ramos and the other couple Top 100 bats they get in these Robert, Crochet, Fedde etc trades, they can hopefully get 1-2 2.5 WAR guys. It shouldn't be extremely hard to produce an 85 win team when you probably will have a decent pitching staff.

We're not going to chase A level FAs but with payroll super low next year and with the Sox already scheduling a SoxFest, it suggests we will sign some solid non-scrub FAs to give people something to talk about.
