AJ Piersznski (or however the crap you spell the White Sox catcher's name) has 22 bombs and a .901 OPS. All at age 35. He's never had much better than an .800 OPS. What's gotten into him?

A couple weeks ago was when I last checked in on Billy Hamilton's SB count and it was at 107 or something... he's now at 136. 32 SB in 30 AA games. 82% success rate on the season.

 

His walk rate has also spiked dramatically in AA to 17.1%

The White Sox recalled left-handed reliever Donnie Veal to replace outfielder Jordan Danks on the roster, a concession that they need pitching help more than hitting.

On Tuesday, it was Ned Yost explaining why he’s OK with Alcides Escobar bunting Alex Gordon over from first with nobody out in the first inning.

 

“Do you know what our record is when we score first?” (It’s 38-16.) “That’s why I don’t have a problem with it.”

 

 

SMH, Ned. SMH.

I have a really dumb question that is nothing if not a random baseball musing.

 

For a couple obvious reasons, Theo was the first GM I really remember knowing by name and face. One of the main reasons was that playoff baseball broadcasts were fond of showing him cheering on his Sox from his skybox at Fenway. Was this something he did during the season as well, or do I only think so because the only time I'd watch a Red Sox game was in the playoffs? Have Len and Bob ever mentioned him watching a game or had a camera show him in a box?

I've seen them show Jed, but not Theo

They are keeping Wil Myers at AAA so Jeff Francouer can play everyday. There is nothing that can make you SYH more than that.

This guy probably will never make the majors, but he'd be a great story if he did.

 

Why?

 

He's the great-great-great nephew of Shoeless Joe Jackson. He's currenly a catcher in the Royals system.

Actually, reading that it sounds like he's still at the Citadel. He was drafted by the Royals, but didn't sign.
