    I think these are just rookie mistakes. I think he’s been a plus baserunner in the minors. He’ll have to make adjustments at this level.
  2. jkcarew
    That’s a bad play.

    I like the 29 pitches Castillo had to throw last inning almost as much as the 2 runs. Let’s keep it up.

    They should definitely be shopping at LEAST one of Larnach, Kepler, Wallner, Gallo. Larnach probably doesn't get you much right now...Gallo may get nothing, but I'm sure the FO will try before DFA'ing him. There may be a team out there that would take on Kepler's remaining option year. And Wallner might be attractive to someone in the off season. I'm torn on Wallner...I see him as a DH and there's no room there...even if Buxton moves to CF, I would assume Julien would be next in line at DH. And as an outfielder, I only see Wallner as a bridge to the next wave of guys coming up that figure to be good hitters, but with a few more other tools than Wallner. I think I'd be willing to shop Wallner. But not feel in a hurry...if anything, wait to see if the bat can drive his trade value further.

    It looks like the Twins should be able to get to $8M (or very, very close) without triggering the lost pick. Clark took $7.7M at 3, and Langford $8M at 4. I don't see what the hold up is...unless Jenkins just doesn't like the Twins situation for whatever reason, and wants to go the J.D. Drew route. Or the Twins are agonizing over the tax to go over $7.3M Probably the latter.

    Maybe we shouldn't have Jenkins on the list yet? Only first round pick that remains unsigned. Tick, tick, tick...

    And what about Mountcastle's road slash line of 217/261/413? Yuck. And he's borderline unplayable this year against right-handed pitching. So...a platoon guy who can only hit lefties and play first base?? We have way more right-handed bats than left now, especially after Lewis comes back...Farmer, Buxton, both catchers, MAT, Solano, Correa, Lewis...and Polanco and Castro switch hitting. Vs Kirilloff, Julien, Kepler, Wallner, the switch hitters...and Gallo (who everyone seems to want gone, and who has a better OBP and OPS than Mountcastle, and is way more useful defensively.)

    Who knows where Balazovic is without the DP from Anderson…with Robert and Jimenez to follow? Credit to him for getting it, though. But to me, it still feels like his results so far are kind of a house of cards. Hope I’m wrong.
  9. jkcarew
    Sox send a total of 10 to the plate in the 8th and 9th…the batter who had PA in both innings being Robert. Don’t score. That called doing it the hard way.
  10. jkcarew
    Both Jax and Duran were a little unlucky to get into trouble…but made the pitches when they had to. Very well-pitched game overall.
  11. jkcarew
    Huge
  12. jkcarew
    Rocco loaded the heart of the order with left-handed bats… So far, against 3 right-handed pitchers those bats are 0 - 13…with 1 BB and 6 K’s. Thankfully the right-handed hitters have been fairly productive.
  13. jkcarew
    But just briefly.
  14. jkcarew
    Balazovic against the front end of Chicago’s lineup? Call me apprehensive.
  15. jkcarew
    omg…that’s not right.
  16. jkcarew
    Maybe. But I don’t think the 390 BABiP is going to hold.
  17. jkcarew
    Well…that explains a lot.
  18. jkcarew
    But has his agent OK’d it?
  19. jkcarew
    Lynn’s agent: “only 6 earned”
  20. jkcarew
    Who else always cried when the winged monkeys came out?
  21. jkcarew
    Exhale
  22. jkcarew
    So let’s see…Jimenez would be the go-ahead run.
  23. jkcarew
    Ryan almost at 100 pitches. A couple more baserunners and Rocco will have to come out to get Julien.
  24. jkcarew
    Actually, the White Sox have been pretty consistently bad all year.
  25. jkcarew
    In Chicago!??
