At what point do we stop rooting for actual competitive players to be traded away for prospects that may or may not work out, and start actually rooting for winning baseball? Like I understand the rationale behind it, but we already did this once. Under the same ownership. It did not work. I guess people think this is the only hope this team has but, if Jerry didn't let it be successful the first time, why the hell would he let it be successful the second time?

If these guys could even be league average with hitting they probably would be at .500 with how decent the pitching has been, unfortunately they put out the worst offense ever assembled. I don't care how good your defense is, if you can't hit the fucking ball you're not going to score runs, and your product will not be interesting.

Right. 50 people. 😆

No it's "South side...STEEEAAAANNNNND UP!"

Schriffen: "I love the support from these fans." Lmao there's like 50 people there.

And we were promised multiple championships. This new rebuild happening under the same ownership group, what reason is there to believe we won't get similar results? Please show me why I should believe that these players will develop into what their potential says they will develop in to. What have the Sox done to improve in the area of developing young promising players?

And didn't win any postseason series. It was a complete debacle. The only thing good to come out of that rebuild was TA's cornfield walk off, Gio's no-hitter, and Leury Legend's bomb in the post season game. That's it.

Something somebody once said not too long ago...it's die-hard and not never-die. I think we are witnessing the very definition of fans dying hard to the team.

When does Clevinger start pitching?

I was reading a MLB article yesterday, they were talking about the AL Central. Went into detail about the other 4 teams, because they are actually somewhat interesting. The last sentence literally said "oh, and the white sox play in this division." And that was it 🤣 At least with Oakland they have the intrigue of playing in Sacramento, even if it is ridiculous, at least it's intriguing and a transition to something better than what they have now. You can actually put a timeline on seeing the light. You can't with this scrapheap of a team...because there is no timeline for change or success. It's just perpetual lukewarm, bland, mediocre, irrelevance, led by a bunch of people who have no idea what they are doing and every time they utter words, it confirms what everyone thinks and believes about their ability to ever put an actual major league team on the field, let alone a winning product.

Much easier to not watch.

I really, really hope someone has the balls to ask him about what he said.

They've been rebuilding since 2008.

Either Jerry doesn't realize how bad it is (in which case he's either completely oblivious to the rest of the league, or too prideful to admit it), or he flat out doesn't care. Either way there is nothing we fans can do about it. When Jerry fired KW and RH last year, he literally said in response to questions about selling the team, that he doesn't play cards so what else would he do other than own the white sox. He won't be selling unless he admits he just cannot run a baseball team anymore, and gets over his stubbornness. Who knows, maybe this year will do it. If last year was the worst year of his ownership tenure, according to him, then this year would certainly have to beat last year. Until he's out of the picture we'll be forced to be a part of this losing culture...or we jump on another team's bandwagon lol.

The Sox are literally the bottom of the barrel lol.

Why does being a white sox fan have to be filled with so much pain 😭

Konerko has already tried

Sheets should not be in the outfield, nor should Vaughn, nor should Eloy. We still have the problem of too many 1st baseman/DH's. When Eloy comes back, if Sheets is still hitting like he is, it's my opinion that Vaughn should either be benched or sent to AAA to receive the playing time. If Sheets' bat is actually something and this past week is not a fluke, he should be the primary at 1B. He's left handed obviously and taller, which gives an edge over at first base, and the lineup needs left-handed power especially if Eloy is in it (not that he would stay in the lineup very long anyway until his next injury).

He should be the 1B over Vaughn IMO. He's taller, and lefties usually have a bit of an advantage over the runner at 1st when it comes to pickoffs.

I don't understand how these injure lists work. If he's going to be out potentially the entire season why is he being put on the 10 day list?

This is what blows my mind. They're okay giving money to guys that don't even contribute to wins. So many guys have been dropped from the roster due to underperformance and were still getting paid (Leury, Kuechel, and there's more), or are always injured (Yoan, Robert, Eloy) and still getting paid, or are still on the roster and contributing nothing and still getting paid handsomely (Benintendi, Grandal for a few years, etc). Money could have been spent so much better and wisely.

Blind squirrel, broken clock, etc. They'll be back to scoring zero runs soon enough. But I guess enjoy them when they come. There won't be many.

🤢

Sorry to break it to you, but it's very likely none of those guys are going to amount to anything in the league.

What a surprise! Moncada, Eloy and Robert all out injured at the same time. Before the 11th game of the season. Rinse and repeat. Someone really needs to make a documentary out of this failed rebuild. It would be fascinating for all baseball fans if done well... and probably provide closure for us Sox fans.
