  1. Curious to hear everyone's thoughts on this... Guaranteed Rate is currently the 8th oldest stadium in MLB. Fenway, Wrigley, Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium, Oakland, Kauffman, Rogers Centre and then Guaranteed Rate. Oakland is gone. Royals are talking about a $2 billion new stadium, which would then put Guaranteed Rate as 6th oldest. Back out Fenway and Wrigley due to "nostalgia" and now the park is 4th oldest. When do the Sox starting talking about a new stadium? Guessing they wait and see how the Bears situation plays out?
  2. And that's the follow up question to Hahn that wont get asked, or he certainly wont answer... Middleton says it, Lynn confirms it. Burger makes some side comments about team culture in Miami, Keuchel said stuff a year or so ago... is it fair to say that Middleton wasn't being truthful when 3 other players confirm it?

    Walks

    Coming into tonight, the Sox batters have walked 248 times. The pitchers have walked 401 opponents. That -153 walk ratio is the worst in MLB.
  4. Romy to the 10 day IL per my ESPN App push notification.
  5. for no particular reason, was thinking of him last night in a Baseball forum chat. Somehow he had 10 SB in 1992, which would have nearly made him the team leader in 2022.
  6. Having (3) guys at the top of the order hitting .300+, isnt a bad situation/ 1. Anderson- SS 2. Benintendi- LF 3. Robert- CF 4. Jimenez- DH 5. Vaughn- 1B 6. Moncada- 3B 7. Grandal- C 8. TBD- 2B 9. Colas- RF
  7. Yeah not sure why you use Graveman with a 6 run lead in the 9th. I know this is a must win, but maybe you let Ruiz try and get a few batters???
  8. The Rodon contract has that poison pill in it.. which is he can already opt out for 2023 if he wants. But if he gets hurt at some point between now and the end of the season, he can opt-in and get all $22 million for 2023 and the team is stuck with an injured Rodon and a $22 million invoice.
  9. ok TLR. Now you've got a LHP starting... swap Garcia for Harrison at 2B.
  10. it's a weird rabbit hole to go down, but on Tuesday's game, Lambert comes in, throws all of 2 pitches and then TLR puts Kelly out for the 7th. He could have easily let Lambert pitch the 7th, thus not using Kelly at all and him having to pitch on back to back days. (or swap Kelly with Graveman in this scenario) His constant insistence to not use Lambert or Lopez for more than 1 inning, causes over-usage of the bullpen and "could" have potentially saved Kelly's injury.
  11. AZ Trades: Madison Baumgarner and Cash to the White Sox CWS Trades: (2) A/AA Prospects Then either the Sox trade Cueto now, to a team in need of pitching for a few months, since he'll be a FA and get some prospects back, or they keep Cueto in the rotation now, move Kopech to the pen for the last few months of the season to bolster that, and make the rotation... (1) Cease (2) Giolito (3) Baumgarner (4) Lynn and (5) Cueto. Rotation for 2023 would then be set after Cueto exists and Kopech moves back into the rotation again.
  12. Agreed on allocation. Saddled with the Keuchel salary does handcuff them dramatically. but if you could either a) have Rodon at $22 million with (2) AAA level guys in the pen and Leury as your starting 2b or b) have Velazquez/Lopez/Cueto as the SP but Kelly, Graverman in the pen and Harrison as starting 2B which would you pick? They cost about the same.
  13. If Jerry would spend unlimited cash then sure. But that’s not how he is. There’s no way they have a starting rotation of… Rodon- $22 million Keuchel- $18 million Giolito- $7.5 million Cease- $750k Lynn- $14 million ~$62 million for their starting 5?!?!
  14. Pre injuries, what’s Kopech’s role if they sign Rodon? Another year in the bullpen?
