  1. Guessing this is the move for Gallo going to the IL.
  2. Could've done more there, but 2 runs and a 30+ pitch inning isn't bad at all.
  3. Excellent AB from Benny leading off, followed by the rare infield double.
  4. Incompetent organization, uniquely beset by injury, how do these IL stints keep happening to exclusively White Sox players?
  5. Soft player, complacent after getting paid, something something, fire the trainers, am I doing it right?
  6. Segura is hitting just as poorly as Elvis for three times the price. Popular trade target Kolten Wong has been even worse. It's not like there was some surefire 4 WAR 2B on the market, it's a low ceiling position across the league with like 5 really good players, and none of them were realistically obtainable. Frankly, even if they were, I'd probably rather put resources elsewhere. MI is the deepest part of the system. Elvis has extra value to this team because he can backup Tim comfortably at SS. With someone else in that spot, do we feel pressured to keep Leury for vet SS insurance? I'd rather spend ~$9mil on Elvis + eating Leury's contract than keep Leury and spend that $9mil on Segura who currently has more K's than total bases. Romy and/or Sosa will likely force the issue soon enough, and Hanser and/or Elvis are easy to part with given their low cost. It's really not worth getting your undies in a bunch at this point.
  7. Completely irrational reactions to Moncada are almost never satire, unfortunately.
  8. That...very clearly hasn't been the approach this year? Eloy could probably DH tomorrow, but they IL'd him anyway to get Burger up and not be shorthanded for even a few days.
  9. He said he went in to his offseason prep looking to add explosiveness, knowing that his role was definitely going to be high leverage relief this year.
  10. They put up 0's yesterday too, the problem was that the offense did as well. BP has only given up 1 in the past 3 games, they are settling in.
  11. Wowza, these calls have gone off the rails.
  12. How do you call those two pitches differently back to back? Wild.
  13. Their first two series were the Royals and A's.
  14. It's uncanny. You can tell that he's trying to work on his approach, but the umps do him no favors.
  15. Yeah, but guys are gonna make physical misplays sometimes. It's not a "get this guy off the roster" moment.
  16. Hanser making some folks look reeeeeal silly.
  17. Yeah, it really sucks. At the same time, I'm seeing a ton of Pirates fans and beat writers acting like Seby was wildly out of line, and it's baffling to me. Was it in poor taste for him to chirp at Cruz? I guess. But in the immediate aftermath, I think he was pissed about Cruz making a play that was dangerous for both players and didn't realize the injury situation. Seby's play itself was clean. I don't know, the reactions have just been wild to me.
