Just win it here.

He's had a good night but you have to pinch hit Sheets for Pollock.

You better bring Liam out for the 10th if it gets there.

I feel like Tony would have mailed this in by putting Ruiz in

This is where Yoan's seven dimensional chess might work

Get Tony the f*** out of the building.

There's no fucking way this happens if the Sox continue to play like they have.

Looks like the Sox just rushed him back from injury too soon like they did with countless other players this year.
No. I think it's less that than the fact that the knee surgery was significant enough where he had to remake some of his mechanics.

Lynn has been nails as of late.

People have been giving Lynn s%*# on this board but he is 4-1 in his last seven starts a 2.06 ERA and most importantly, 53 strikeouts and only 4 walks. He's quietly found his 2021 form and not a lot of people have noticed. If the Sox can get to the playoffs, and that is a big IF, they will be lining up Cease, Cueto, and Lynn as their first three starters. That's pretty damn good.

At the beginning of the season, I likely would have been in favor of letting Jose go but he's been the best hitter on the White Sox this season. Quite frankly, I don't think any of the White Sox have lost their ability to hit for power. It's pretty obvious that it is Menechino. The data bares this out. They do have a logjam at 1B/DH. It's possible you could get something good for Sheets but I think I don't have a problem keeping him and trading Vaughn. I also would go after someone like Gallo in the offseason. He's been slightly better in LA but I also think he's bound for a rebound. And he improves your defense immensely.

Between two depending on the last 34 games:
Everytime I'm Out, they pull me back in.

To be honest, I didn't have an issue with Tony last year. But the regression he's shown this year as a manager is stunning. He lacks any of the fire he had last year. And the defensiveness is new. This Kopech thing could end up being nothing but at a certain point, Tony is going to be responsible for a major injury. A lot of this just makes me sick to my stomach right now.

To think this spot in the rotation used to be Keuchel. Everytime Cueto goes to the mind, it's as close to an automatic win as you can get.

Recent NBC sports Chicago podcast with Lucas and Garfien Lucas mentioned Cueto made some good points about the lack of fire.
Also Giolito had a 2nd bout with Covid and says it wasn't bad at all but post Covid got a nasty virus that he said was 100X worse and he pitched through it.
Seems like his off year , as is usually the case, is more about health than anything.
Of course we can say those are excuses and the sticky stuff ban or the weight gain could be reasons. Maybe that virus is the one that sidelined Robert and recently gave Kelly "lightheadedness" . I think the upper body strength Lucas added was just him as a ballplayer preparing for the grind since many players end the season weighing less than when they started it.
These guys are all in close proximity to each other every day and perhaps they should all consider wearing masks all the time around each other. Masks are a good idea for keeping healthy in general for preventing colds and other viruses along with the other preventive measures we were all reminded of during Covid like washing hands frequently . I'll leave it up to the medical experts to say if Covid can weaken the immune system post Covid but masks are actually something that, while inconvenient, will keep you healthier in general especially when you are around a bunch of people all the time who aren't wearing masks and who have had Covid and may have weakened immune systems post Covid and more susceptible to other viruses.
When was his second bout of covid?

This division sucks. And the Guardians are overachieving. One strong week for the Sox wins them the division. They have been pretty solid since the start of July and have managed to really avoid any prolonged losing streaks. They just need one prolonged winning streak.

Not really, La Russa continues to make head scratching and asinine decisions on a daily basis. It’d be the same thing as last year, the team winning in-spite of TLR.
Winning games is the key word.

The inability to hit the ball in the air is causing this. You get a ball in the air to the outfield with a runner on third with less than two outs and more times than not, that runner will score. It's infuriating. It's really down to the horrible approach Menechino is taking with them. I also maintain that the firing Menechino is way more important than firing La Russa. The Sox problem is simple this year. They aren't hitting home runs. Our complaints about TLR are nullified if the Sox offense was doing what it was built to do.

Would speculate Tony not liking him played a big role as well. Ditto Madrigal, Mercedes and a few other rookies.
If Tony likes you, you're in like Lynn (or Leury, Liam, Lamb, etc.).
I doubt it. I think it was because the last two starts were particularly brutal, broke up winning streaks, and were the sole reason why the White Sox lost. Was he a fall guy? Perhaps. But I also just think it was the right call to make.

Im positive he’s full of shit, but hopefully a blind squirrel finds nut situation.
I repeat that firing Menechino is way more important than getting rid of TLR. Sox are hitting home runs and we aren't talking about TLR.

Interesting split on Diekman.

He's looked great. He was featured in a Pitching Ninja tweet after his first outing with the (White) Sox, and there were several comments from obvious Red Sox fans claiming (maybe jokingly) that the video was fake and were quite angry that Diekman didn't look that good while he pitched for them.
To get a good lefty bullpen piece for McGuire was a good trade. Maybe takes Hahn's deadline grade from an F to a D-.
He's looked really good. I think we shouldn't discount some of the work that Katz can do with him.
