I think Sonny Gray would have been on the White Sox by now if they had continued their form in May.

By my count, Sox are 14-12 in their last 26. 0-5 vs. Boston, 14-7 vs. everyone else. Would have been nice to have caught them in May or June.

I'm happy the rest of the division laid an egg so far while we're getting mollywhopped by the hottest team I've seen since the A's won like 20 straight in the early 00s.

I don't know why you think this a surprising season. This is a good White Sox team. I will be surprised if the team doesn't make the 2026 playoffs.

Even Ozzie thinks Romo is a bum. 🤣

Boston, just like the last series against them, is the hottest team in baseball. Their pitching has been incredible and they’re seemingly squaring up anything thrown at them. That’s a tough team to beat and will make even good teams look bad. I expect an L today and won’t think twice about it when the sweep is complete. It shouldn’t be used as proof that we suddenly suck or whatever nonsense dumb fans will inevitably throw around. No analysis should go further than the fact we ran into a buzz saw. They just swept LAD before us.

Other teams might start pitching the Sox like Boston does, lots of breaking pitches down and fastballs up and many out of the zone.

Yes but you can give it away if you want or just start it as soon as a rainout is official.

I am absolutely dumbfounded that Drew Romo continues to catch meaningful games for the White Sox. He can not hit and his defense, blocking, throwing, ABS is brutal. Can anyone who may be insider please educate me on why Drew Romo continues to play for the White Sox? Tell me why Eric Haase or even Quero are not upgrades over him?

Only Free Agents count to make it seem worse even though Mune is downgraded because he fell in their laps and could have fallen in a lot of teams laps. And using Dominquez doesn't count even though he contributed 3X as many save as the top White Sox save RP from all of last year and helped offset a good portion off the cost of 2 years of Castillo. I'm not counting the 2028 option since I'm pretty sure it won't be picked up because Castillo has long odds of reaching that innings count in 2027. No reason to exclude Newcomb since he was a FA but that's typical of that poster's sloppy data work. Apparently other off season acquisitions who've made impacts don't count like Hudson, Peters and Hicks . Plus considering the Sox were still rebuilding they left space for incoming rookies to make an impact like Mune, Antonacci , Braden Montgomery and Peters after Acuna failed in the OF. Plus they didn't have payroll as usual this off season so they used the trade of Robert's full $20M salary to sign Hays and Dominquez and the trade that netted them Sandlin and Hicks who hasn't given up a single run since May 20th.

Hope it gets rained out. Boston is on another worldly level right now.

But not Nova Scotia.

DR is AST year round.

Confidence level is shot to hell. Surprise me.

Got my fingers and toes crossed I won’t have to deal with another reported post regarding terrible things. I believe in you guys!

The Sox need to change something about their approach at the plate. It’s dreadful to watch them strike out ~25% of the time. They can’t swing from the heels on every pitch of every at bat. There has to be some situational awareness.

Your need for my approval is astounding.

He already admitted (before your post) that it was lazy stat work by him not some profound statement on cherry picking. Oops. Do you really have to stick up for the most negative Sox opinions because you've been that way for the last few years and have trouble seeing that the Sox might be a contender before your 2030 statement at one point ? You're already dead on that hill but maybe the Sox will collapse in the 2nd half and have a bad 2027 and 2028 and you'll be happy and right .

Kevin Roth YELLOW/GREEN - Ok now I'm getting tired of saying it... yet another game with a few little downpours around. I'd call it a low chance of a delay, and the game will play 9 innings regardless of any potential delay.

Would you rather have Braden play RF and sink or swim (mostly sinking of late) in a year they are in 1st place or would you send him down and have had one of these guys take at bats in RF? I think I still take Braden but could see an argument why you may not think he’s ready and needs to work on things in the minors.

Well, except Newcomb and later Grichuk...Kay/Fedde has been about as expected. No redeeming Domimguez/Hays though.

Relevant because both fanbases are in a panic...still with a 3-4 game division lead in Central despite 0-5 versus Boston, AZ and SD charging back in the West with two consecutive sweepstakes by Boston and the Cubs.

Sir we are White Sox fans. How DARE you.

Damn, that's not an option anymore so might as well move forward instead of living in the past.

I would rather they tried Boston Smith and not trade him.
