if rodon and kopech end up being co aces

the quality of pitchers the white sox will have at 3, 4 and 5 will be crazy

take your pick

giolito

lopez

hansen

dunning

cease

clarkin

guerrero

white sox have seven promising arms for three slots (hopefully one ends up being a lefty) and this doesnt even include any starters from the 2018 draft that theyd add — obviously not all of them will make the starting rotation or bullpen in 2020 (or even 2019) and also not all of them will be successful but white sox certainly do have enough depth/trade bait here to add whatever talent they will need in the future

I agree but I don't think cease will be a starter.I think he's destined for the bullpen

Lopez legit.jury still out on giolito,just speaking on the pitchers I'm familiar wit

Major League Baseball has reportedly determined the Boston Red Sox used electronic devices to steal signs from the New York Yankees and other clubs over the past several weeks.

Citing sources on Tuesday, the New York Times' Michael S. Schmidt reported the Red Sox "executed a scheme to illicitly steal hand signals from opponents' catchers in games against the second-place Yankees and other teams."

Specifically, Schmidt reported MLB opened an investigation into Boston's illicit activity after Yankees general manager Brian Cashman submitted a video to the league office that purportedly "showed a member of the Red Sox training staff looking at his Apple Watch in the dugout and then relaying a message to players, who may have then been able to use the information to know the type of pitch that was going to be thrown when they were hitting."

Yan "The Don" Gomes with a 3-run HR in the top of the 9th inning for us! We're up 9-4, bottom of the 9th @ the White Sox, on the verge of 13 consecutive victories!

MLB Probing Accusations of Red Sox Using Apple Watch to Steal Signs From Rival Yankees

Major League Baseball’s commissioner on Tuesday promised a “thorough investigation” into a report that the Boston Red Sox used an Apple Watch to steal signs from their rival New York Yankees.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that the Red Sox admitted their trainers received signals from video replay personnel and then relayed that information to players, after the Yankees complained about alleged sign stealing during an August three-game series in Boston.

wildcard in a.l is getting crazy

unexpected hot streaks by twins and orioles have made it even tighter

i dont think the twins or orioles are a match for other playoff teams (pitching) in a postseason series but who knows in a one game wildcard

the twins do look to have the easiest schedule left

they have only 6 games left with teams over .500

yankees and orioles have 12 and 13

yankees next 16 games are against wildcard contenders including 7 against baltimore

 

[King_MOEbra]

14 straight! We're unstoppable right now!

 

[O.G.]

Dodgers are fuckin choking.

15 straight wins for the mighty Tribe! No one is fucking with us!

 

[O.G.]

Dodgers youngin Walker Buehler (their #1 prospect) looked pretty decent in his debut tonight. 2 scorless innings. 18 strikes on 26 pitches.

D backs won 13 straight dodgers slumpin hard and arizona still 10 games out.

Dodgers gonna win the division no doubt. It's just crazy how Arizona cut the division lead in half so quickly. Everybody is talking about the Indians win streak while Arizona killin shit too. They are getting overlooked imo. Hope somehow yall face them in the post season before the Dodgers and Cubs face off in the NLCS.

:# dodgers have the best record in the NL, which means they will face the wc winner(dbacks or rockies/2nd wc) in the nlds.Cubs(or nl central winner) vs nationals in nlds

Anything can happen in october but Not gonna front like I'm confident in the cubs this postseason.Team been mad inconsistent all year only reason they been winning in the 2nd half is cuz they're playing mostly bums.

Arrieta was starting to cook before the hamstring tho. Bullshit injuries seem to keep happening to yall.

 

[Angeles1son85]

dodgers gonna be ready to go they cant stay hot all year lol plus cody and cory weren't in the line up last couple of games let em get this losing out the way now

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Sounds like russell out for the season.Very slim chance he returns this season

contreras rehabbing wit the high a team and should be back in a few days.

And I hate to admit this but schwarber gotta go.He's a DH,theo gotta trade him this winter it's gonna hurt if it happens cuz he's a fan favorite but happ has made him expendable and almora shouldn't be sitting on the bench cuz of schwarber.

good ol fashioned tank bowl on the south side this weekend

white sox vs giants in a battle of who can suck most

a giants sweep almost guarantees that 2nd overall pick

there doesnt seem to be much of a talent drop between the #1 and #3 since there is no consensus #1 that everyone loves but its the draft pool bonus era — white sox would have more to spend and that could mean 1 or 2 more top 100 prospects in mid rounds
