Rockies' Scottie Scheffler quip after ending 57-series sweep drought
The post Rockies' Scottie Scheffler quip after ending 57-series sweep drought appeared first on ClutchPoints. Can you believe it? The Colorado Rockies have swept the Miami Marlins for their first sweep in 57 different series. The drought is finally over. Advertisement Alongside the Chicago White Sox, the Rockies have been one of the worst teams in professional sports over the last two seasons. It won't be getting better over the next few years either. However, sweeping an opponent is a great feeling, and nobody can take that away from the players. Before the series started against the Marlins, a comparison tweet was made on X, showing that Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 golfer in the World, had as many wins since May 2 as the Rockies did at three. Well, now that the Rockies swept the Marlins, they decided to respond humorously. Of course, it is all in good fun. The PGA only plays Thursday-Sunday, but Scheffler is coming off his third win of the season at The Memorial. Scheffler doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. His burst onto the scene has put him in conversations with Tiger Woods on multiple occasions. He has three career Major wins, including two at The Masters. The next Major is next week, and it will be the U.S. Open. Scheffler will aim to win that for the first time in his career. The Rockies are now 12-50. They will likely end the season with the most losses of all time, surpassing the Chicago White Sox and New York Mets at 120. Their schedule does not get any easier as they take on the Mets this weekend at Coors Field, who just swept them at Citi Field. That series is followed by meetings with the San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves. Advertisement It was not too long ago that the Rockies lost at Coors Field to the San Diego Padres by the score of 21-0. Since then, they have had wins against the Padres, New York Yankees, and Arizona Diamondbacks. It doesn't come often, but the Rockies can score some runs with a young offense.

'Bar-B-Cast' on why there's reason to feel bad for White Sox fans after succession plan reveal
(This article was written with the assistance of Castmagic, an AI tool, and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy. Please reach out to us if you notice any mistakes.) Chicago White Sox fans can expect a significant but somewhat gradual change in the team's ownership, based on the podcast's discussion. From Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman of Yahoo Sports' "Baseball-Bar-B-Cast" podcast, here's a summary of what fans should know and what to expect: Jerry Reinsdorf's exit plan is finally official — but not immediate Jerry Reinsdorf, who has owned the White Sox for 45 years, has established a clear succession plan for selling the team. The path is mapped out but doesn't take effect right away. The earliest possible transition to new ownership is 2029, and it could stretch as late as 2034. Advertisement Justin Ishbia, the brother of Phoenix Suns owner Matt Ishbia, is set to become the White Sox's principal owner, according to legal arrangements revealed this week. He already holds a minority stake and will have the option to buy the majority stake from Reinsdorf starting in 2029, or absolutely by 2034. Sorry, White Sox fans, as for now, not much changes The current public messaging is that nothing significant changes for day-to-day fans or for the on-field product until at least 2029. In the short-term, Ishbia will infuse some cash and begin slowly getting involved, but the team's operational control still rests with Reinsdorf. Advertisement Reinsdorf is 89 years old, so it makes sense for him to set up this transition. He's finally making concrete plans for when he's no longer in charge. "He clearly sold this to Ishbia because he likes Ishbia or thinks Ishbia will do a good job or whatever," Mintz said. "That was the pick. He's making the pick, not someone else. That's important to Jerry Reinsdorf. He is lucky here that he has made this choice before he dies. A lot of people, most people die before 89, and I feel bad that some White Sox fans, in fact will die before this ownership group changes hands because the quickest it could change is 2029." Said Shusterman, "If he's doing great and the White Sox are winning, guess what? Jerry's going to keep on owning the team. Now if the White Sox are still losing in 2029? Very possible, considering how deep of a hole they are in, then, I mean, I don't know, maybe he then finally decides, 'All right, your turn, Justin.'" Advertisement While there's no reason to expect rapid on-field changes or increased spending immediately, there is a sense of long-term optimism. The new owner comes from substantial means and chose the White Sox over other available MLB franchises, indicating belief in the franchise's potential.

Big-league dream becomes reality for Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel: ‘I'm trying to soak it all in'
Kyle Teel arrived at Rate Field around 11 a.m. Friday, several hours ahead of his big-league debut. 'When you walk in the locker room and you see your nameplate on your locker, it's like, 'Wow. I did it. I'm here and I'm ready to go,'' Teel said Friday afternoon. The Chicago White Sox officially promoted the catcher to the majors ahead of the series opener against the Kansas City Royals. Reports of the move first surfaced Thursday evening. 'This is a dream come true,' Teel said. 'I'm trying to soak it all in. It's something I worked my whole life for. It's really special.' Teel, 23, is ranked the No. 2 prospect in the Sox organization by which also lists him as the No. 26 prospect in baseball. He has a .295/.394/.492 slash line with eight home runs, 10 doubles, 30 RBIs, 34 runs and 30 walks in 50 games with Triple-A Charlotte. Teel reached base safely in 38 of his last 39 games for the Knights since April 10. 'I would just say that working hard and being consistent with my process every single day is what I did and I don't expect that to stop,' Teel said. 'Just keep the head down and keep working hard. I think that's a big part of my game, just being a hard-nosed ballplayer. That's what I'm going to do.' General manager Chris Getz said of Teel's promotion: 'A lot of it was just Kyle's production, quite honestly.' 'You're always trying to fine-tune every aspect of your game and you look at what he was doing behind the plate from a receiving standpoint, the feedback from our coaches and players that the game-calling, the game management was in a really good spot,' Getz said. 'And then you look at his offensive output, which has been really strong now for a stretch. He just continues to put together quality at-bats with power, getting on base, making good decisions. 'So you're looking at a fairly well-rounded player. Obviously as he transitions to the major-league level, there's always going to be adjustments. We feel he's in a good spot.' Teel joins Edgar Quero as options for the Sox behind the plate after the club optioned catcher Korey Lee to Charlotte. 'You're talking about a tandem that's a young tandem that's probably one of the strongest in baseball,' Getz said. 'It's not easy to send down a player like Korey Lee, because he's talented as well. You look at the catch and throw and the athleticism that he has.' Photos: Chicago White Sox vs. Kansas City Royals on Mexican Heritage Night at Rate FieldLee has a .250 average with three doubles, one RBI and seven runs in 14 games. He was on the injured list from April 10-May 27 with a sprained left ankle. 'He has made a strong impression and those conversations are never easy,' Getz said of Lee. 'He was disappointed, as you would expect. I have the utmost confidence that he's going to go down there and perform well and work on all facets of his catching game and certainly offensively. 'The catching position is what we feel like is a strength of the organization considering that we have two catchers at the major league-level and a catcher like Korey at Triple A.' Manager Will Venable said Teel and Quero will split time. 'I think you may see them match up a little bit,' Venable said. 'But we're comfortable with (left-handed hitting) Kyle facing lefties and obviously (Quero) being a switch-hitter we're comfortable with him on both sides of the plate. 'And excited about them catching all of our pitchers. So just understanding the demands of that position are extremely high, so I think just making sure that they can both split the load is the way we'll go into this.' Teel was one of the four players the Sox acquired — along with infielder Chase Meidroth, outfielder Braden Montgomery and pitcher Wikelman Gonzalez — in the December trade that sent pitcher Garrett Crochet to the Boston Red Sox. Meidroth and Teel were both in Friday's lineup, with Teel at catcher and batting sixth. 'This is something I dreamed about since I was a little kid,' Teel said. 'Everything I worked for comes up to this point. So, this is awesome.'
