Yeah, since his son Preston promoted him from bench coach to manager.

I know that nepotism exists, but this is the most unique nepotism I think I've seen.

But Don Mattingly has experience as a manager, and he's been on good teams as a manager, so I get it.

It all makes sense.

I think for me, this whole White Sox...

week of them going on the road trying to figure it out remember they haven't won a road series in a month now since they took two or three in san diego they haven't won a road series since then and they've got to find a way to be better on the road if they're going to have a chance to make the playoffs because eventually some of these other american league teams chasing them in the wild card standings are going to pick things up but i'm very encouraged by the way the offense has responded

Without Munataka Murakami, we know he's going to be out for four to six weeks with that strained hamstring.

One week is now down, and the offense hasn't let up.

They've actually scored more runs per game since he went down than they had when they had him in the lineup.

That is encouraging.

What's scary is what you were making reference to with David Sandlin and understanding that the pitching is very questionable today.

Noah Schultz goes out with an injury.

And here's what's really scary, or at least I'll say concerning, because I'm not scared.

How am I going to be scared if you're in a playoff spot right now?

The next team on the schedule, they are back home tomorrow.

The Atlanta Braves.

They're here.

The Braves are very good.

Coming through town.

The Braves score a lot of runs.
