Zavala can't catch.

Graveman being all over the place isn't helping.

Right down the middle Tim. Don't get yourself thrown out you dumbass.

Cron looking fastball and got the slider

I wonder if that Kimbrel guy is available. Numbers are down so he shouldn't cost much and he's due for a rebound!

At this elevation? Hard to do.

Not gonna overturn that

For sure. I don’t know if they’ll be able to make much of a playoff dent unless they get super hot, though.

Will the Sox score more runs or hit into more double plays today?

They also spend a TON on drafting, international signings and player development. If the White Sox had a $190m payroll AND poached some drafting and development talent from SF, Cleveland, Tampa, NYY, LA, etc. they'd be in a way better spot.

This is why I'm nervous about trading what little depth the Sox have right now.

If KW and Reinsdorf are able to exert this kind of control and Hahn takes it, he'll never go anywhere until KW leaves and Jerry dies. They'll make sure to keep him around because they know any real GM candidate wouldn't stand for that.

Or... maybe they are and the Sox are smart enough to not trade them? continues heavy drinking

Keys to being a good GM: Don't trade your non-top prospects with Tampa Bay Watch which AAAA players San Francisco is interested in Don't trade young international prospects with Preller

Is this true? I guess it could be, as reading between the lines it seems like Hahn didn't get what he wanted until Shields failed here and it was clear that core wasn't going anywhere.

Garrett Cooper, Joey Wendle, Michael Taylor, Tyler Naquin, Ben Gamel, Brandon Drury, Jon Berti, Charlie Blackmon, Hunter Dozier seem like the right targets in the bargain(ish) bin.

Score more than two runs against a 5 ERA pitcher in the best hitting park in the majors and they won't have this problem

Yes see Grandal made Liam completely miss his spot and throw that down the middle

Slider looks decent though

Cool Liam sucks now

Brewers won on a sac fly

Leury looking good as usual
