I once again look at the state of our players, and have to go back to the claims that Chris Getz had Dylan Cease and made him open to trade and said "Dang, we can't just take the best players we can get, we need as much pitching as possible. Our hitters are solid. We just need more pitching"

definitely at point where I laughed when I saw Salvador's home run.

yikes, didn't realize. Thought you just had to deal with constant flurries and couldn't lift heavy objects. That would suck.

They aren't in a sorrier state.

I think he deserves ridicule for shopping in the DeJong/Pillar/Moustakas/Maldonado buckets instead of taking the opportunity to live in the Rule 5/waiver world where we could get players of similar value but the potential to have long term control. This year was going to be this year. It was going to be bad. But the Rangers found Adonis Garcia on waivers. The Orioles found Santander in rule 5. I dug into rule 5 this year, it wasn't a good one, but nonetheless we were so worried about pitching and we are getting shut out every game. Instead we wasted a bunch of roster spots on guy slike lopez/shewmake that put a ton of pressure on our lower level guys to stick and have zero room to breathe. SO we send out Jose Rodriguez.

I'd rather have the bulls.

Hard to stress how much I'd rather watch Tim Elko at 1st base over vaughn. I don't care that he'd almost certainly K at 45%.

I actually don't even know. With the bulls it felt like "ok, they embarrass themselves, we can shame them into turning this group over". It was a monkey paw, but it did feel attainable. With Getz getting the job with a smarmy press conference by JR, there just isn't going to be a way to shame it this quickly. So I hope that, instead, this is just the remnants of how bad it was from a draft and develop standpoint under Hahn. ANd it was. People talk about the draft, but this is also what it looks like when you punt entire International classes for Colas and Yolbert and Cespedes. But there are some signs of life in the recent draft classes, at least. Paddy has at least appeared to be less lazy, but still too lazy for my liking. But this amount of shutouts, this level of horrid play. I don't think it's good for anything. Certainly when you don't have a Luhnow or someone overseeing the show.

That's why I don't really care. There is nobody this is "blocking". Our OF prospects are extremely trash in the near vicinity. Can't believe we didn't waitver pick or rule 5 but I also didn't see any I cared about. Misner would have been some fun at least, because he's high variance.

Hell yess thank you past me. Granted - there is no joy in this white sox world, but a good post. A good post.

Billy Seidl hasn’t been very good but damn is he available. I swear he pitches every day.

6 Ks on 21 pitches is insane lol.

I think they should have mercy on us and propose an underground stadium. Tunnels around the city so we can walk in peace to the games without fear of being identified as the sickos we are. Never to see the light of day. Protect the innocent.

Rikuu Nishida with an interesting 3 runs scored on no hits and 1 walk lol

WE've always heard about Ramos' big baseball IQ and great mentality. He'll breakthrough.
