Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“Yoan Moncada needs to be one of the Chicago White Sox best players every day. Going into the postseason, there are few White Sox players as important as Yoan Moncada. Having some of the power that comes after him makes it even more noticeable because it helps the White Sox score more runs. People like to rip on Moncada when he is in a little bit of a slump but that isn’t fair.”
“The Chicago White Sox needs Cesar Hernandez to contribute to the success. He has an option for 2022 but nobody knows if the White Sox are going to use it. The White Sox traded for him knowing what he is capable of doing. He had an RBI hit that helped the White Sox win 8-0.”
“Reports get back to us, you see the stats, but he’s really made an impression on the life of the ball off his bat and his versatility defensively,” La Russa said. “Really, the first couple innings I wasn’t efficient, and I wasted a lot of pitches,” Cease said. “We were comparing when I had success in Double-A and Triple-A and we were comparing the two videos and made a couple of adjustments,” Gonzalez said. But I’ve got to get into a rhythm a little bit quicker.” “He’s at a point if it’s at all possible we’d like to bring him back, we’ll see how he feels, on the fifth day against Detroit and if we would have pushed him any further, that wouldn’t have happened,” La Russa said.”

He’s cut that by more than half this year, too, and entered Friday hitting nearly .400 when pitchers cater to that happy zone. Robert has shortened his swing and pulled off less against straight heat, cutting his four-seam whiff rate by more than half while raising his four-seam average to .359.”
“Certainly at the Triple-A level but ultimately: Do we have players who can help our Major League club win? And you can’t lose sight of that,” Getz said. “We still have a mission to be able to supplement the Major League club, and each year … “Of course, are they ready to be Major League players? “We have internal discussions. But there’s little doubt this group, along with other Minor League additions over the course of the season, have made major contributions to what should be the organization’s first American League Central title since 2008.”
“He’s smacked five homers, tripled four times and drove in 17 runs in 25 games across two levels. 6), Low-A Kannapolis Dalquist fired five one-hit innings in his longest and first scoreless outing since he pitched five frames on Aug. Warren tallied his second four-hit effort of the season, legging out two doubles, driving his 12th homer of the year, scoring three runs and setting a new career high with five RBIs.
