Been pretty clean baseball. That said, missed one today with Pedro not PR for Eloy. Should have been a 4-1 game. There is always an argument against pulling your better hitters early, but if you're gonna PR for him with 2 outs...

Couldn't tell if it was mean spirited or not.

Embarrassing.

Should be 4-1.

wasn't a great throw thank god.

Hell yea. Punishing mistakes! Good job guys.

Barlow has nothing. Do not swing at garbage Eloy.

we'll take the single. He tried to throw him a gopher ball three times that AB.

Vaughn needs to learn how to keep that ball fair, come on. Another hanger goes to waste.

Shriffen is insufferable and clueless.

You would think Vaughn is a having an all star season based on the announcing.

He's 25 years young. The manager just loves to play the vet because that's what we do here on the South Side.

Idiots.

Assuming kopech continues to look like a middle of the road closer (still a decent commodity on his salary) and crochet a front end starter yes, absolutely. We need to be turning today's 50 cents into tmr's dollars and build depth throughout the org at every level. We do have an advantage not trying to win in 2024 (and realistically 2025) when it comes to these trades, so take advantage of it as future assets will be discounted by contenders.

He's pretty much been a 2 war player when healthy rate wise for his career. He was a better choice than TA, as many here said at the time, and is really the least of our problems. Hopefully he has some trade value if he keeps up this solid starting play.

colson treading water around a 100-110 wRC at 22 and 2 months in AAA isn't the worst thing. How are the report of his defense? That's just as important. If he can play a below average MLB SS that's still a helluva player. If he can't well he'll go to third but SSs are just so much harder to find with his bat profile.

Looks like a solid win, only caught a couple innings. Keep starting Lee.

Schriffen is sorta paternalistic with Ramos and his English.

just turned game on, zero zero, go figure.

He's clearly ready. Mentally you can tell he believes he belongs and he has the raw talent to make it hold up. I'm sure he'll get into a slump but for now I think we can put any talk of being "rushed" aside.

Robert should be back by middle of June. Moncada should be back by middle of July or maybe late July. No rush for Ramos right now he has at least 50 games ahead of him at 3B before a decision needs to be made. Ideally Moncada would get hot as the DH/3B and then be traded for anything.

We have the worst RD in MLB easily and are on pace for 120 losses. We've played like 40 games. The season is almost 1/4 over. If an NFL team was 1-3 and had been blown out in every loss and had the worst differential in the league at the quarter mark nobody would be talking about patience or small sample size. I'm sorry but this is a terrible team that is playing decent baseball for a week or so there's nothing "big picture" to be that excited about. Do love that at 10-28 but 4-6 in the last 10 the Getz sunshine blowers are claiming victory. Talk about ironic posts.

you can't compare a SS/3B with an almost guaranteed 330 OBP to a DH with one. Certainly not in today's game. Check the fWAR projections on fangraphs for Colson. If he got called up today he'd be like one of our better players. I don't really care what his BA says when he's above average in adjusted runs created for his league at 22 and can play a cromulent middle infield. But for now we have De Bong actually putting up some trade value so we'll probably have to wait until July or something to see Colson and that's a good problem.
