You can practical guarantee this guy will be one of the Sox starting pitchers in 2024.

 

Maybe if we bring back John Rooney? Radio guy from back to back WS winners in 2005-06.

Would have to work better than TLR.

Also totally forgot Ricky Horton pitched for the White Sox in 1988 after his time with StL.

(We could use another Lance One Dog Johnson, too.)

Could be wrong, but I think Ricky Horton was pitching for the Sox in the game they were watching on tv in Field of Dreams.

Fire Hahn. When you get the go ahead for a full rebuild, and it fails, you’re out. It failed. Fire him tonight.

66-96, here we come

Montgomery will be in Birmingham before too long I’m guessing?

AL Central Standings since June 7

Cleveland                           16-11

Minnesota                         14-13

Detroit                                12-15

Chicago                               10-17

Kansas City                        7-20

 

This division remains just putrid.

At least the Twins are league mediocre, and the Guardians are trending in the right direction. I think both get to mid-80’s wins, which is bad for a 3-seed, but this is on MLB. Hopefully it proves 4-team divisions are a terrible idea for MLB.

Going to go on record here. Ready for ridicule if wrong:

All Star Break-

Min 47-44 -, Cle 44-46 2.5 gb, Sox 41-51 6.5 gb

end of July-

Min 57-50 -, Cle 53-53 3.5 gb, Sox 47-60 10 gb

I will bump at the break no matter what.

It’ll be close on Min/Cle. Sox will be worse. 
Bottom line, Sox were never catching them. Trade away.

Lock that other game up. Delete it. Flush it.

Terrible baseball today

7.85 ERA for Bummer. Worst bullpen money can buy

Maybe Nightengale meant Bummer will be released by the deadline 

[7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10]

Crazy game. Man on 2nd rule can f off. 

[7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10]

Eloy needs to scrap the stance

[7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10]

Jays had their shot. End this. 

[7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10]

Nice job by Reylo. Trade that man!

Glad he walked Merrifield.  No clue why they were pitching to him.  Biggio sucks.

Must not remember the homer in Toronto 

[7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10]

As Hawk would say…he knew it

[7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10]

Manufacture a run in the 9th? Is that possible with this team?

[7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10]

Watch this be 6-5 in 13 innings

[7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10]

Unfortunate luck for Oscar

From what I've seen, Colas doesn't have the pitch recognition to be successful at the MLB level. Seems to be the definition of a 4A player. 

Hopefully he has everyday playing time in August and September. Let’s at least find out. 

[This Day In Sox History...July 6]

That was ugly 16 years ago. I could see a repeat today. Maybe not that bad, but an ass kicking.

Which players after Gio, Grandal, Middleton, Andrus, Lynn?

His six were Giolito, Clevinger, Lynn, Bummer, Graveman, and Kelly

[7/6- White Sox vs Blue Jays, Gm 1, 4:10]

Berrios vs Lynn

Weather permitting. Might be easier to play two tomorrow, especially with the all star break next week not messing up rotations.

Good
