Wrigley is a different ballpark today, with the wind blowing in from centerfield at 8 MPH

Well boys, Chase Meidroth said he's retiring if he wins a World Series. So you better hope we win it so we can free up a spot for Roch / Bonemer 😂

Was at the game yesterday. Dude behind me was wearing a cubs jersey but rooting for the sox. I asked him if he lost a bet. He said “yeah that’s it” then proceeded to scream “I LOST A BET” the rest of the game. It was phenomenal.

Oh sure, adding Thome to the White Sox in 2006 or Cease to the BJays this year finished the equation. Look, this is the team that should have been bolstered at the deadline. We may not see a young group of players gel like this again. This is the team.

toughest pitching matchup of the series for us. Really need to pull this one out

Bannister has been here 3 years now. This article is not a good look for him in a variety of ways. You simply can’t strike out on so many pitching prospects and not feel some heat.

Or perhaps your suggestions aligned with preexisting considerations and your inflated ego equates responsibility upon yourself errantly? I think we’ve had enough of WBWSF Talk and have a game that’s starting.

It should have been really obvious that a few of these guys were on borrowed time.

Zac Veen is the other young outfielder they just brought up. They really needed to get Doyle off their roster.

Really is a fantastic opening volley from Fegan in his new role. I don’t think any of us can really imagine what the future of this organization looks like if Banni is really able to actualize his ambition of making the Sox a top 5 MLB pitching development system again. Pair that with our young positional core and the top heaviness of our minor league ranks… and a new eventual owner with pocket books to rival Cohen… fucking look out baseball, here come the White Sox… TraaLaaLaaaa!

JR use to answer my letters until I requested to be interviewed for the GM job. He actually took some of my advice on some matters years ago.

James Fegan: “This spring, the White Sox anticipated having what would amount to nearly a second major-league rotation at Triple-A Charlotte, with top prospects Noah Schultz, Hagen Smith, Tanner McDougal and David Sandlin all in tow and all expected to reach Chicago by midseason. Fast-forward to mid-August, and all four have debuted for a Sox team that’s surprising everyone — including their own front office — with how quickly they’ve gone from rebuilding to competing for a division title.” @WBWSF: “Nuuuuhhhhaaaa!”

If the bracket ends up something like this I can absolutely see us making the ALCS and losing to TB, Boston or NY.

It’s actually amazing when you think of the fact that we could have just of easily been on a 5 game winning streak and taken the first two games while our team was set up HORRIBLY going into this series. Wonder what would have happened if it was a true to the playoffs matchup and we had our ducks in a row. We may have to wait a few weeks to find out. Really hope we don’t get into the playoffs and get run like 2020.

lol definitely not the Red Sox

If the Sox had the likes of some of the old-school Managers like Billy Martin, Pete Crow would not see a strike and would be in a defensive posture at the plate. He' going to get on base anyway, so at least make it interesting. At least one brush-back pitch in every at-bat.

They didn’t have to sit in the pocket of either extreme. Didn’t need to mortgage the farm and they didn’t need to ride the pine. There was a middle ground and all they needed was ONE more transaction to satisfy us all. Completely dumb. I am SURE that if Getz had a Mulligan and knew then that Martin would have been in the spot he is in and has been stuck in - the guy would absolutely have traded for another pitcher. IMO they should have just manned up and got Soriano. Would have been costly BUT they would have 4 of 5 rotation spots settled for now and for the relative future. Oh well - Drew Thorpe can still come be a savior for him. Davis Martin can dawn his Superman cape and come save the day. Urquidy could shock the world and be a serviceable number 5. Fedde could stretch back out over the next couple weeks and be a solid backed piece. They scuffled this one big time but hopefully we are in the middle of the biggest bump in the road that we will have to hold on for. Still a lot of regular season left. Go out there and get em.

Everyone needs to read this article. Full acknowledgement of our shortcomings on the pitching development side of things from Bannister. Shocking to see that we’ve made some major investments like Hawk-Eye motion trackers but aren’t fully utilizing the output data yet. Modernizing an org isn’t easy so perhaps it should be a relief that we aren’t 100% there yet given how many of the young arms have performed.

I think the series in Wrigley has been very entertaining, akin to a playoff series. Yeah, we're losing, but so what? It's not like the Cubs are an awful team we should be embarrassed to lose to. We're going toe to toe with them, and the Dodgers and the Braves and the Yankees and the Rays and on and on (not the Red Sox).

Imagine if they had gotten PCA for him. We’d all love the guy and he might have told a Cubs fan to suck his dick. There’s another universe where this all happened… and it’s glorious.

Getz stated before the trade deadline that the Sox would not be trading prospect capital but would be willing to take on player contracts. Really foolish. If you have a team in first place in August, you go for it, balls to the wall, no holds barred. We may not see another year like the White Sox have had in 2026 for many more years. It has been fun to watch, until the series in Wrigley.

For anyone already comparing Lackey to Roch, he isn’t lighting the world on fire and is likely gassed too. He’s hitting .205 in 44 at bats with a ~30% K clip, no homers, and is doing so in single A. Way too early for all of this horseshit. If Cholowsky is gassed, they’ll rest him - as they should. Calm the f*** down panicans.

Thought that also. Fegan also put in the line about the Cease trade bust.

I trust them to do right by the kid.
