Is that a thing?
I bet it is, if not, I just want a 10% cut of the future ad revenue

I’d rather watch a guy on youtube eat expired TV dinners than this offense

props to lynn for a great game even after the delay. Diekmann looked nasty, but he‘s had that filthy stuff his entire career he just tends to completely lose any control from time to time

Home runs are bad!
I still hate Nate Schierholtz with a passion because one dude on WSI wouldn’t shut up about him 😂

They'd actually be able to go from 1st to 3rd and score easily on singles with a guy on 2nd. Those 2 things are challenges for the Sox.
This would still be highly situational tho. Homers and walks aren’t.

If they were actually fast, it wouldn't be as much of an issue. I've never seen a team hit this many singles yet have so many slow ass players.
That wouldn’t make that much of a difference though.
Putting the ball in play and hitting the other way would be WSI‘s (RIP) collective dream come through tho 😆

This Sox team is the definite proof that batting average is a useless stat.
This should be a laugher at this point.
12 hits - 11 singles

Metal bat
Jesus Christ, you still have to hit the ball in the air to hit homers. It doesn’t really matter in that case if you swing an aluminum bat or a piano leg. Don’t be dense.
Vaughn is hitting the shit out of the ball, but his launch angle (just like the entire team) is lower than it should be. Your hot take is: he doesn’t have enough power for 1B.

The thing is: Firing Rick Hahn doesn’t accomplish anything. The reason the Sox have been a dysfunctional mess is that nobody knows who is really in charge. Hahn, KW, LaRussa? Or is Jerry so hands on that he is the de facto GM?
Rick Hahn might as well be the best GM in the world, but with the way the organization is set up he would be just another fall guy.

Preller was terrible competing or retooling on the fly. Realistically, you have to judge by everything from Tatis and that huge international signing class onwards. That will give you a much different picture than his first run at competing, which was pushed upon him by an impatient ownership group…the same one that got impatient with James Shields under Ron Fowler.
Matt Kemp, then to ATL for Hector Olivera/salary relief
What was traded: Joe Wieland, Yasmani Grandal, Zach Eflin
Justin Upton
What was traded: Max Fried, Jace Peterson, Dustin Peterson, Mallex Smith
What was received: Left as Free Agent
Wil Myers
What was traded: Jake Bauers, Burch Smith, Rene Rivera, Joe Ross and Trea Turner
What was received: Still on Team
Craig Kimbrel
What was traded: Jordan Paroubeck, Cameron Maybin, Carlos Quentin, Competitive Balance Pick
What was received: Logan Allen, Javier Guerra, Carlos Asujae, Manuel Margot
The Competitive Balance Pick the Padres sent did end up turning into top prospect Austin Riley, but overall three years leader and this looks like a weak package for one of the best closers in the game.
I like that you conveniently left out Matt Wisler in the Kimbrel trade who was a top level prospect and that they had to take on a godawful B.J. Upton. Just to make your Padres look better. 😆

reading this after your vaughn post made me think about the White Sox offering Vaughn for Gallo and now I want to die.

Didn't he give Yasmani Tomas $100 million?
Shelby Miller trade also during his tenure there

I mean right now, I guess you could call a playoff appearance as successful of a season that we can realistically hope for given the strength of the AL.
you have watched enough baseball that you should know that baseball is a high variance sport. If you replay last year‘s alds 10 times the sox probably win that series 4 times.
The absolutely dreadful Dbacks probably win that series three times.

Kelly was TLR precious. That's the guy he wanted. And judging by his imput on players in Arizona, Reinsdorf, Hahn, etc. Have to lie in that bed too.
pretty amazing that nobody ever talks about how disastrous his tenure in az was.

that did not hit him, is tony asleep?

joe kelly even at his best has always been erratic, but that double he gave up was more bad luck than anything

How do you replace Kopech going forward?
free agency would be the obvious answer, but realistically that means shedding some payroll. Of course Keuchel will be off the books as well.

These conversations about Soto will lead to a reunion with cesar hernandez 🙃

Pollock for Gallo, throw in Sheets too.
Pray that Gallo finds his mojo again. Working with Menechino, he will probably become a singles hitter tho 😆

4 runs in 18 innings against one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball, that‘ll do
