Jaw-dropping power aside, Aaron Judge has also committed just ONE ERROR since August 15, 2021. More than 2,500 innings with the leather, mostly in RF and CF…and a handful of games in LF this season.

There will be a book written about the collapse of this White Sox franchise. The optimism just 2-3 years ago, and now, it’s the Titanic submersible, the whole thing has simply imploded. Historically bad.

The fact Jeimer Candelario (a rookie reserve on the 2016 Cubs) has hit more home runs than Kris Bryant from 2018-through today- and Bryant is in Colorado- is hard to believe. I still can’t get over how quickly this all fell apart for Bryant.

Ever wonder how fast Ty Cobb and Cool Papa Bell were? This. This is how fast they were. Both were clocked a couple *tiny* ticks quicker than PCA was last night.

If the White Sox played in the PCL or International Leagues, they’d probably be around 114-and-33 and feel much better about themselves.

Mark me down as in favor of this year’s World Series matchup. Star power. Legacy franchises. Big Boy Baseball. Should be fun. Who was in the series last year? I can’t remember.

The Rooneys leaning D is no surprise. They helped Homestead Grays owner Cumberland Posey when the Negro League club hit upon hard times in the 1930s, and have always been a progressive NFL franchise, in terms of diverse hiring. Good for them…

Old school NBA fans, this is how you fix today’s game: you make goaltending 3-point shots LEGAL. In other words, a dude can just orbit the lane on defense, waiting to deflect anything shot from beyond the arc. This would force offenses to make some interesting decisions
