One aging and declining vet C contract goes out, one aging and declining vet C contract must come in. What an idiotic decision this would be.

Jason Matthews promoted to AAA, was hoping Ramos would get a cup of coffee there to end the season.

Oof, that did not work at all.

That tracks, I remember speaking with someone that cracked AAA with the Sox (in the 80s I believe), and their coaching for him on his changeup was to "throw it slower".

Some highlights from last night

Last year he played 14 games against dudes (on average) 4+ years older than him in his first full season and admittedthat he was just gassed by then end. He's nearly doubled the games played there this season (31), still 2.5 years younger and coming off an injury. We'll see how he handles the AFL, but way to premature to start panicking.

They should try to salvage what they can and just make him a reliever at this point, he can't seem to hold up as a starter.

They've had a long partnership and their three NC facilities are considered to be some of the best, so while Charlotte obviously isn't ideal for pitchers, I don't know that they'd look to leave because of that.

It's a fantastic facility and they signed an affiliate agreement which runs until 2030.

The Italian God of Walks living up to the moniker.

Of all the teams in the league the White Sox could choose to emulate, they pick the damn Royals.

He's been on the IL since late June, placed on the 60 in July.

Allegedly Getz was a Grifol supporter during the interview process last off-season, so in a way Pedro could be his "guy" as well.

Not sure where this should be put, but interesting nonetheless.

Scouts let go by "analytic" orgs. Of all the crap JR said today, that was something I actually agreed with. Bringing in good scouts that were let go would be a plus for the org. They obviously need to beef up analytically, but no reason they can't/shouldn't build up their scouting staff as well.

Crochet was at the Alt site for a bit in 2020 if we want to count that as "minor leagues" under the circumstances, but that and the Sheets thing are minor nits to pick in otherwise spot on arguments.

I found his presser boring and filled with a lot of nothing outside of him mentioning outside influence a few times. It wasn't a great performance, but listening to JR meet with the media made me significantly more mad.

Finally getting the chance to listen to the presser now, it's hearty with nothing-burgers. But I'm sure that future Dayton Moore announcement is gonna really rile the people up lol.

The biggest "no s%*# Sherlock" in history
