Real time reaction from White Sox pitcher Joe Kelly to the 1 game suspension for Josh Donaldson: "I got 8 games for making a face," He frowned at Carlos Correa and got 8 games. 1 game is ridiculous.

There’s a pretty simple reason why this video doesn’t excite me.
These plays are all improvisational. Off-schedule. I know Justin can do this kind of thing at a high level in the NFL.
I need to see Caleb from the pocket. On schedule.
That has to be wheelhouse for the next guy.
If there’s a Bears fan in your life who isn’t excited about Caleb Williams please send them this video

Been so satisfying to watch Kyle Fuller’s development & excellence since he was drafted. Incredibly consistent, available, & trustworthy. To cut him after settling so low at QB is gross. & to do it AFTER press availability is cowardly. Kyle deserved better. As do all Bears fans.

I never thought Les Grobstein could die. He was a constant; a living emblem of a slowly fading brand of radio. I treasured when we got to share air together; his experiences & stories were endless. He will be missed not just by the station, but by the city, and by the industry.

Stunning move by the Chicago Cubs. I'm a fan of David Ross as a manager, and a man.

There is no way an MLB front office calls up a red hot hitter straight from Double A, for a disappointing team that desperately needs a spark, and expects him to be used and discarded the way Lenyn Sosa just was. The leadership disconnect within the White Sox org is so damaging.

It is possible to both admire Anthony Rizzo, baseball player, with sadness at the end of an era, while also acknowledging the organizational logic of making this trade today, & getting the return the Cubs did. I feel both. The collision of emotional fan & analytical adult. Life.

ESPN has cut into Cubs-Mets to give us a Nats-Pirates update (Schwarber HR), and a little while ago ran a graphic with “tonight’s notable games” that did not include the 2 best teams in the AL starting Glasnow and Lynn. The national White Sox disrespect is real.

For Jerry Angelo, it was a search firm. For Ryan Pace, it was Ernie Accorsi as a highly paid consultant. This time, it’s Bill Polian. Everything else remains. This is not structural change. This is not how you evolve as an organization. This is hoping to get lucky with a GM & HC.

Ryan Poles chose not to equip Justin Fields with skill guys at a premium. I am totally okay with it. Protect him. Give him an excellent, simple system. Run the ball; use play action. It all makes more sense without the one trick Nagy pony & his stubbornness. Fields will succeed.

A.J. Pollock has been a forgotten man as the 3rd best outfielder in LA, and their 7th or 8th best hitter. But he's coming off an .892 OPS, & a career high 21 homers. He's a damn good ballplayer, base runner, & one time center fielder. This is a tremendous get by the White Sox.

Rizzo was the one of the first targets for Epstoyer; the kind of player the entire organization could model. He was a fearless defensive captain in the infield, and his 2-strike approach at the plate was something none of the other sluggers could match. His Cubs legacy is secure.

The reaction to the Tony LaRussa rumors, and now the news, is so universally sad and angry inside the fan base. It's remarkable that Jerry Reinsdorf either did not know this was the case, or simply did not care. It's a fan base that feels loudly, and aggressively, insulted.
