Brought it up last night, and I'll bring it up again. Moncada described a "daily battle" to find energy since his COVID-19 infection. He's fighting that battle. And the Sox are winning because he found that energy. Amazing he's played through this. https://t.co/ZtjQcG5ZeJ

Jose Abreu acknowledged the slumping White Sox -- losers of 5 of their past 6 games -- relaxed a bit too much after clinching a playoff berth last Thursday.

Luis Robert is going to be an stud.

That said, him having just 1 hit in his last 35 (!!!) plate appearance in the midst of a playoff race shows how we, as fans, may want to pump the breaks on calling every uber-talented rookie the next transcendent player of our generation.

17:55: Same Old New Cubs.

In these trying times, I like to hold on to as much normalcy as possible. #Cubs offense growing silent and choking away a division lead in late September, while frustrating as a fan, provides that normalcy. Thanks boys, still rather have a 2nd World Series though https://t.co/7lmStpvuj3
