[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

The zone tonight has been brutal. No consistency at all.

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

Vaughn has been taking the best AB's on the team lately and it's not particularly close.

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

How many middle-middle cookies has Sheets done nothing with tonight?

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

Mejia still being in this game is a gift. He has nothing left.

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

Ramirez better not see anything in the strike zone here

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

That was a ball but at the same time we've seen the outside corner called a strike all night.

Is Karinchak still good?  I thought he got done by the spidertack ban

He only has 2 strikeouts with 25 batters faced in the 2nd half. Wow. Maybe he'll figure it out but he definitely hasn't been dominant lately

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

If Goodwin has any of the pixie dust left in his bat now would be a good time to use it

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

2 balls hit above 100 MPH from Moncada is great to see. Hopefully he's about to heat it up.

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

This is the worst I can recall TA looking consistently since 2018

Vaughn misses it more than anyone despite not hitting with it last year 

I've noticed that exact thing as well

The new ball has definitely hurt his power output. 

TA and Moncada both miss the juiced ball big time

You’re 100% right…but aside from Gallo…I didn’t feel like there were a ton of great fits for the Sox on the hitters market. Given their limited assets to trade…I feel like the Sox made the right gamble. 

I think a lot of people on here undersold how difficult the Sox farm system made it to make deals, but they absolutely could have surpassed what the Giants gave up for Bryant. Particularly when, IMO, at least, they paid 110 cents on the dollar for Kimbrel.

3 more are coming. 

You'd know better than just about anyone there's no guarantee none of those guys experience setbacks.

He should be walked every PA since Eloy is hurt for the 284732th time

There's no reason to fear Abreu right now especially for a RHP

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

Another quality bat would have made such a difference

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

Brutal start but 2 runs shouldn't be insurmountable against one of the worst pitchers the Sox have faced all year

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

Indians are bad?

Without Bieber and Civale, honestly, yeah. They're a sub 500 talent level team without those 2 guys healthy

Gonna regret not taking on a RF

Especially when Kris freaking Bryant went for a price the Sox could have matched

[7/30 CWS v CLE 7:10 PM CDT]

Goodwin is such an atrocious defensive outfielder

[7/30 Games]

 

[Sox Acquire Kimbrel; Madrigal, Heuer to Cubs]

Just now, Dick Allen said:

So does this mean since the Cubs allegedly had their choice between Madrigal and Crochet, that Crochet is garbage?

Just remember, these are the same guys who traded Tatis JR. and Semien.

Stone isn’t ever going to blast the White Sox on a trade. He likes his job.

Especially when everything that's come out on that deal said Tatis was crushing on the backfields, and the Sox dealing him was more about not realizing what they had then him suddenly blowing up after the trade was made. The Sox track record of internal scouting is far from impeccable.

[We still have Jose Rodriguez]

Him being at 10 in the mid-season BA update was crazy. I'm glad the Sox were able to hang onto him. I think he's someone who will be on the top 100 radar at this time next year.
