Idiot umpire Hunter Wendelstedt ejected Aaron Boone after a fan yelled something. And then Wendelstedt doubled down on his idiocy after the game, claiming he heard a player "at the far end of the dugout."

He's lucky Angel Hernandez is a household name and he's able to fly more under the radar.

I'm ok with it considering the entire sequence was objectively hilarious.

Yikes, even Chris Paddack can deal against the Sox lineup

I really thought Paddack was gonna be a stud when he came up.  He's only 28, but he was regressing even before the second Tommy John.

So did I after his first year. He was one I was box score checking come year 2 as a potential up and comer and immediately regressed

His underlying numbers in his very brief 2022 before the second TJ were impressive but it was such a small sample.

At this point the twins just need him to not be another Chris Archer going 4 innings a start with a bad era.

White Sox lol

Chase Lopez.

Get a gem from a random scrub

Get key insurance runs late

Still lose. Twins will take any wins they can get though. Not complaining.

Still way early in the season, but if you're going to lose 120+ games, the Sox are executing the game plan.

Is Kopech the most overrated Chicago athlete since Cutler?

You're extra ornery lately, you ok man?

I don't think anyone has treated Kopech like the second coming except some overly optimistic Sox fans.  Almost everyone else views him as a very talented prospect who can't stay healthy and whose career has went sideways as a result.

Nah. Sometimes I just get a perverse pleasure out of the failure of Chicago teams. Comes from growing up just north of the border.

Heck, no. Just one of too many to count.

It's getting to be almost as tough to be a St. Louis Cardinals fan as it is a Chicago White Sox fan.

Big difference: We have expectations. Perhaps delusional this year, especially when Arizona scores 14 runs on our team, but we rather expect to win. Not going to happen with this team.

Marmol and Mozeliak need to go... and soon. I suspect they will rename Busch Stadium "Cape Canaveral" later this year when the Cardinals' ancient pitching staff gives out. If we get 15 home runs a piece from Goldschmidt and Arenado, I'd be surprised the way things are going.

There's a core to build around. Masyn Winn, Jordan Walker and possibly Dylan Carlson (who appears to be in Ollie's dog house, again) all impress me as future all stars under the right management. I'm OK with Nootbaar as an everyday player. But the rest of this team should be tied up and tossed from the Arch into the Mississippi River and tied down with a heavy, lead anchor. If they should surface, call Missouri Hazardous Waste Disposal Units (Illinois would just dump 'em in your back yard).

Ironically, with Whitey dying last week, this team reminds me of the Cardinals teams in 1978 and 1979. Lots of talent on paper but chronic underperformers and the talent was over-evaluated. Was a different era but Whitey went out and built a team with trades and a little free agency. Something has to happen, or St. Louis soon will become the next "small amrket team," at least in attendance.

P.S -- Forget it Cub fans! I'm loyal to a fault!!!!

For the first time in a long time, I have not watched a single inning of white sox baseball. Extremely sad state of affairs lol

Early obviously. But 19/24 of the Brewers games have been against teams .500 or better.  Their next 12 games are against teams currently .500 or better.  Then they get a break against the Cards :D

And 16/24 were on the road.


Absolutely amazing start after losing their manager and top 2 pitchers.

I feel like Grifol might not be their manager tomorrow night.  At this point, I think you make a move just to do it.

I'm sure you agree that will not move the needle much but it maybe best for PR.

That's rough.  Always liked watching him pitch.

At 38, will he ever pitch again? At 16 months rehab, who knows.

If not, is it even necessary to have the surgery?
