I would say this is the most White Sox thing ever, but that statement covers a lot of ground actually

Too bad gotta bench him to get his attention to focus

He has his issues. But he is justified. Anyway blowing off steam is likely what happened. Allegedly he wanted an extension. For that, he is crazy.

You’re rating him at the draft to be at a high all star MLB level, and that’s fine. College slugger first base/DH /catcher is the Sox fav thing to do, and has worked out very well for us. Hopefully the appropriate amount of sarcasm is coming through.

I commend you for facing reality very quickly. Some pollyannas will think this talent is a mental disease that will lead to substance abuse, health problems or self harm. And the pollyannas will live longer healthier lives in a state of blissful denial. But I still commend you.

Of course. First base. Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Is that a gender confusion symbol?

I’m less worried about new injury, than old long Covid relapses.

Hey, they never gave us an opportunity to develop a healthy prospects skepticism before. Gave us a bunch if new toys all at once we hadn’t seen the likes of since Big Frank, and we assumed. We’re catching up. Colas had us mildly interested. If the Sox had any new ones to show us we should be ready to 💩 on them when the time comes 😂

Which is absurd that they will absolutely be running the show. Jerry doesn’t like being told what to do. Especially by fans and sportswriters. If you truly wanted him to sell, you’d tell him not to sell. Start a campaign to extend Rick Hahn’s and Kenny Williams’ contracts

The reasons I returned to the Sox was the attractiveness with a turnaround toward youth, and an emphasis on building with minor league prospects. They sort of artificially infused the talent into the organization. Nonetheless, I expected some organic growth in a traditional sense along these lines. But they just petered out. And the artificially infused talent is busting like crazy. We should be the Rays.

5 more “moves”

Wrong thread earlier. To say it where I wanted This is why asking the same old people to make wholesale changes in direction doesn’t work. Got to clean house if you are going to be turning the battleship. And this is the fault of ownership’s lack of basic understanding how to win, and how to hire (and fire) to win. Now, the caveat to this is that it was Hahns idea to change direction iirc. But that was when Jerry should have said, great idea Rick. Get out

Wrong thread

Don’t be negative. Don't worry. Be happy

The Sox come at you fast. At least you called it. Trying on the pollyanna pants even for a short while might be better for mental health, idk. So might be giving up. I mean, look at the roster with fresh eyes. Pollyanaism is interesting, like a survival mechanism for some. Others go the other way. Born of the same desperation i suppose

does he still have upside? Its been divined onto him, just because.

cmon lottery

both

Moncada coming back. God has a deep rolodex of improbable Sox medical ailments to ring up. Stay tuned, this go’ be good

Freeze the roster. This is real.

Let me: Increased signs of life sort of verify the moribund state of these guys earlier. They were, mentally disengaged. Improper attitudes. That only happens to a lower class of player. It almost hurts to see a higher state of play knowing they didn’t care enough to access it earlier.

Im old school and don’t understand much about load management. I just know that this is a kid entering the time his life he will never be physically stronger. We’re protecting professional athletes like fine china these days. Considering the state of the team, Luis might consider being against this and play.
