You’re right. You never want to see a game like this. I just want to see a rebound of some sort so it doesn’t look like a complete waste of a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) It must have been something they ate. The whole team is playing like they're sick, or something. I wouldn't take this game too seriously. I doubt that it's indicative of much of anything. Just a weird day.

Their pitching is surely going to be a team strength this year. What a crock. It is indicative of what's to come. The staff sucks and the bullpen is slightly improved. The team isn't playing like they are sick; they're playing like a team that sucks, which they do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This staff is ass in a hand basket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Guys, spring training results really don’t matter that much, especially for pitchers. The staff will likely be garbage but a rough March start in Arizona has very little bearing on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 But someone said the other day starting pitching should be this organizations strength which is why they should have spent their financial resources on manny and Harper. Lol, the starting staff is brutal and will be awful for the foreseeable future. Anyone thinking the Sox won’t need to dip into free agency or trades to fill at least 2 spots in the starting rotation is kidding themselves. At least the infield is league average as currently constructed. The outfield is terrible but that’s the one true strength of the current minor league system so that should improve in time.

I just beg that they fire Cooper if everyone underachieves again this year . Unfortunately, Cooper is in the inner circle and has a Hahn-like lifetime contract. Maybe they can make him pitching coach emeritus...i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player gets to the Majors and he already is what he is. You can never improve, you can never get better at anything. Good to know. We're all doomed. It's fine to be skeptical but to say nobody can improve defies all logic. Shit has really hit the fan here. It is getting to the point where rational discussion is no longer possible.

WBWSF Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 This starting pitching staff is really bad. I would sure like to see the White Sox sign Dallas Keuchel. He's still a free agent and would fit into our rotation easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust him one iota in GRF and I think he's going to be either injured, lit up like a cheap xmas tree or both wherever he signs. Keuchel is the next Shields. Stay far away Hahn.

We're all pissed they failed on Machado. We're all pissed they wouldn't pony up for Harper. Guess what? There's still reason for optimism. Not everything is doom and gloom. You can still find enjoyment out of this baseball season. I was pissed for 2 weekas and now I'm ready to move on. We should just all accept they're not signing FA outside of the bargain bin and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 35 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: You can still find enjoyment out of this baseball season. If (maybe) winning 70 games passes as "enjoyment" for you then I admire your definition of the word. Not trying to be sarcastic but when you've had the past 12 years like the Sox have which by and large have been awful, its hard to find enjoyment in the game...maybe in some individual performances, but the object is to win, that's why they keep score and the Sox have been brutally bad at winning. Doesn't mean I'm going to give up on them before anybody spits that nonsense out, I was born and raised in Chicago, I'm a Sox fan and I'll stay a Sox fan but this season is going to be pretty rough once again and we shouldn't delude ourselves otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
