Yoan Moncada hit a home run against the Red Sox in a game Michael Kopech was pitching while Chris Sale was on the disabled list. White Sox fans have to take their victories where they can find them. Next up: Eloy Jimenez hitting a bomb off of Quintana next year in the crosstown series while Cease gets the save.

Sydin posted:Wait are they moving him to the pen? When he was with the Cubs him becoming a closer was considered a fall back if he couldn't develop his changeup enough to play as a third pitch. He just has an innings limitation. They already shut him down for this year. I'd be surprised if he made the rotation next year.

slev posted:Didn't the cardinals put some guy in left field that couldn't throw and have him basically underhand it to the relay guy? Just do that with Ohtani so he can always play. Grichuk had a hurt arm in 2015. They played him CF and he was under instructions to underhand the ball to Heyward in RF to get it back into the infield.

Beaten to the Bud Norris post, but I do think the story of Adam Wainwright planting a surprise garden in Carp’s backyard and Carp making magical dinger salsa from the results is adorable.

Shinjobi posted:Joe Maddon makes my dislike of him so easy, it's impressive The one bad thing about Schildt versus Matheny or even LaRussa is that I am certain he won’t take a swing at Maddon. LaRussa gave no fucks and Matheny may have been a concussed, bullpen-abusing red-assed Jesus freak but that man could probably have torn Maddon’s head off without breaking a sweat.

My dad still has a Putz shirsey because that might be his favorite word and no i don't care how putz pronounces his name It's really perfect and I've been giggling about it all season. The Sox this year have been a little microverse of fun poo poo like that, Matt Davidson's desire to be a two-way player and Yolmer's general adorableness.
