Thanks for reminding me. I'm planning on crocheting a small scarf.

Apparently we're bringing up couple of players, Eaton and Guerrero. Eaton requires a 40 man roster spot and Guerrero is replacing Slaten who will go on IL.

Still no Anthony because Bres thinks he's not ready. No more excuses man. If I'm JH, Bres would be challenged with his premises/assumptions.

When was the last time we had #1 ranked prospect?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora and Breslow=Dumb and Dumber.

The main reason Anthony hasn't been brought up is strictly financial, no matter what the lying Breslow says.

Slaten to IL and Toro batting 4th entering June? That’s wild to to say the least. 
 

Cora’s BP overusing collaterals in effect and while Toro has been a decent piece but batting 4th at this point of the season while keeping the No. 1 one prospect in baseball down with an anemic offense is simply stupid and should cost both Cora and Breslow their job.

Financial? How’s that?

It's too complicated for me to explain, but it certainly involves the Sox saving money.

Batting 4th has been a black hole all year. The New Johnny Bench isn’t playing today, so Toro, Toro, Toro gets a tryout 4th today. No KC at 1B today, which was rumored, but still pretty much a ST lineup.

You guys are making this way to complicated yourselves. Lineup construction to me is the sole reason Anthony is still at Woo, and nothing to do with money.

Damn, a Sox pitcher going on the IL. How rare is that?

Keep believing that.

Braves starter, Bryce Elder is a mediocre right hander. Not great velocity. Not a big strikeout pitcher. The kind of pitcher that the Sox should be able to handle and maybe do some damage.  Have to like their chances in this one. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Keep riding Toro until he stops hitting. 

[vegasbob]

Great hit by Story, about 3" short of a salami.

Crochet gets support in first inning, now needs to bank it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Story disrespecting his Elders.

The Sox just proved Elder has less than great velocity; especially Story.

[Old Red]

Story Land is open for business today.👏

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's Crochet's excellent slider that convinced the White Sox to convert Crochet into a starter. Smart move.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That 3 RBI double by Story. Was that more RBI than Story had in the month of May?

Only if he had 2 or less in May

I know it's more RBI than Wong had in May.

That's quite possible.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Campbell.

[Larry Cook]

Runners on first and second and Duran cannot get a critical hit 

[iortiz]

Man Wong’s arm is so awfully weak.
