    Fire Everyone Thread/Rebuild Maybe?

    If Jerry would wake up and quit being so stubborn and arrogant and sell, then some serious billionaire with silly money would buy this team. A billionaire with liquid billionaire type money and not a billionaire like Jerry, who is only a billionaire on paper. 

    With the right new owner, the Sox wouldn't need a full blown rebuild. The new owner would have the money to go after several quality free agents over the next few years and then spend money on cleaning house and finding new pres of baseball ops, who would hire the right people to be in charge of the club's drafting, developing and coaching required to build a elite level farm system.

    Hell, if the new owner was really smart, he could go recruit Andrew Friedman away from LA and not only offer him more money and same title as he has now, but also offer him a small ownership stake in the club. 

    Btw, I do love your idea of the Sox having a new stadium built for them by the city of Chicago by Soldier Field, when the Bears leave town.

     

    Enough with the talk of the cities paying for new stadiums. Its a grift.  If an owner wants to build a new stadium go ahead.

    Nice win. Great win. But it's sad that the no hitter is the latest fun thing to become extinct in baseball. The Hall of Fame is gonna be mighty quiet in the future. 

    I firmly believe we're headed to two innings max for starters in the near future. 2-2-2-2 and the closer. 

    Starters will still be starters. Their is a reason elite/good/average/below average pitchers are starters. Are you going to take cease out in the 3rd inning? Degrom? And the whole host of others? Starters are consistent and thrive on that. The volatility of pitchers only going 2 innings nixes that alone. Their will always be starting pitchers who's goal is to be good enough to go 9.

    Luis Robert hurt. Again.

    Yes, Rocky Henderson stole over 1400 bases sliding head first. However long before Henderson, Lou Brock stole 938 bases (2nd all time) all feet first and he was considered the greatest base stealer of all time until Henderson came along. 

    Actually if you go look at the play again, Robert easily beat the throw and would have been safe if he slid feet first. A normal feet first slide doesn't have to be malicious spikes up slide, but will give the runner a much less chance of getting injured. At least in that play last night, Schoop blocking 2nd would have been made him more likely to get hurt from a feet first slide from Robert. 

    He would have been safe sliding feet first into a blocked base? Stop talking about Lou Brock. Of course he slid feet first. Everyone did then, it wasn't because "that was the safe and sound way" it was because no one really thought to slide head first before.

    There are clearly advantages to sliding head first, but the medical facts confirm it is much safer to slide feet first. 

    An article by a renowned foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Lance Silverman, https://www.anklefootmd.com/sliding-head-first-feet-first-safer/

    I agree with PitchatRisktoZisk who said "Go in spikes high and it will be the last time the 2nd baseman drops his knee in front of the bag"! If that second baseman wants to cut the bag off with his knee and foot, then good luck to him and let him pay the price!

    Lou Brock stole 938 bases and is second all time on the MLB career stolen base list. He always slid feet first. 

    Ricky Henderson has 1400 stolen bases and probably slid head first 90% of the time? And again you don't slide into second trying to steal a base spikes up. You are more than likely going to be out doing that. So sure go make an out for the point of sending some message that won't even matter.

    Here's a thought..... stop f'ing sliding head first. That's at least the 3rd time he's gotten hurt doing that between the Minors and here. Go in spikes high and it will be the last time the 2nd baseman drops his knee in front of the bag. Take off the oven mitt and sharpen your spikes. 

    Sliding head first is faster and creates different opportunities to avoid a tag. You don't go in spikes high trying to steal a base. "go in spikes up maybe next time the defense will think about it". No they won't. Get a stolen base attempt every 2-3 games? Should change the rule and make it just like home plate. Their has to be a lane, can't block the base sliding in.

    Is ChiSoxFanMike the White Sox official/unofficial non-celebrity Twitter representative?

    A whopping 22.3k followers on Twitter! That's by far the most for a non-celebrity/popular pundit, right? Garnering responses from the most important/legendary voice in Chicago sports radio, Mike North. Is ChiSoxFanMike the voice of Sox fans on Twitter?

     

    A 3 and a half fwar player last year in what 100 games? Never worth that money. Hindsight kick rocks.

    Well, first of all you need to double Grandal’s negative fWAR to account for differential in games played…

    Then, if you take out the positional bonuses for catcher vs. DH, it turns out to be very even.

     

    Yes take out all the "bonus" aka value of being a cather and they are the same. It's very clear something is wrong with Grandals lower half. If he broke down that quickly it sucks. He's no Adam Dunn.

    I’d roll that dude.  Tadahito Iguchi would too.  He’s a soft, pretty boy who wears wigs in Chicago Heights at night.  He provides zero drive, and zero heart, because of poor leadership ( coaching) and already getting paid.  I can’t fathom how much more he makes than Luis…hope Robert doesn’t hold out after seeing Rupaul get paid like that.  Hey, if Rupaul could hit then I’d love her but Yoan is nothing but a small yawn on a boring weekday afternoon at work.  He adds nothing to this clubhouse.  Trade high…at least we got Kopech from the Chris Sale trade.  And the Sox ripped off the Cubs for Quintana Lol

    At least you showed your true colors early. Seems like you spend more time coming up with tired homophobic/transphobic bullshit so you can vent on the forum. Go see a therapist so you can start to get some inner peace.

    And that's a Wild Pitch Winner!

    Nice win - but something about this team.  Usually a walk off teams are going nuts - this team just didn't look the part - especially a wild pitch walk off.  

    Walk off wild pitch doesn't happen often. Hitting for the walk off has more juice 

    Will the Sox ever outdraw the Cubs again?

    I know Wrigley is iconic and everything but where do these people get the money? I have some people coming to town and was checking out getting the best seats possible for the pathetic royals vs the rays next Saturday. If I got everything I wanted, at this time it'd be four diamond club boxes at 100 a pop. So that's 400. I assume parking is 40 or so. So that's 440 to get us in. I saw the crown boxes are 330 apiece for the luxury food seats, etc.

    It looked like all the diamond club boxes are sold out but I saw 4 seats at one of those secondary sites. Do u all know which site is the best to get tickets? Are they all legit and not ripoffs?

    I'd love to know if there's a significant percentage of Wrigley crowds from out of towners or if it's only 10 percent or so and the rest diehard Cub fans.

    Cubs have a large nationwide fan base. Since the early start of baseball on the radio cubs were on. also WGN tv. At least one game a week was on WGN america nation wide. lots of neighboring states have cubs fans. I think the cubs are still broadcast in like 6 states on the radio.

    If a reporter relied on a single source like Keuchel, he'd be incompetent at the least. But maybe you're right. Perhaps this is the turning point they needed. Let's hope so because we've been fooled before. Regardless, it's great that they're playing well in Minnesota after so many disappointments in both parks. 

    Single source writing all you have to do now a day is post a correction 3 days later at the bottom of an article. Or do no research at all and make six figures being a fucking hack.
