Part of me really wants to see Sam and Chase bat 1-2 every night. Chase is basically the prototypical #2 hitter of yesteryear that has gone out of style, Mune does have a better OBP than Chase, but I feel like Chase is so hard to strike out and goes deep into counts that he would really thrive in that role and benefit the team.

Forget it, he's rolling.

Is he wearing a Sox Pope hat ?

Same, it's almost half the full payout now. HOLD STRONG BROTHER

Yeah, I think it’s just recency bias. If you take out these last two when Chase has been hurt, and then look at the last ten games we’ve faced a lefty before that, my guess is that he has sat more than started in those. But I think he got more starts against them earlier in the year.

The cash out offer for my March 5th bet on it is getting increasingly tempting 😅

He also literally said it in his blog post lol "Regarding the reports that Ishbia is hell bent on moving the White Sox from their historical home, I think he should fvk off, fvk all the way off back to Michigan." From @tray ... literally

There are supposed to be souvenir cups tonight....my wife said to make sure to get extra if they are shaped like a chalice.

I know I say this every time, but Sam really does start against lefties more often than he sits.

Sam getting the start against a lefty! (But only because Chase is hurt)

Not that anybody cares, but my Uncle Jim was roommates with the Pope at Seminary High in MI and at Villanova. Jim is a huge Sox fan still and keeps in touch with "Bob" a bit, but not as much lately for obvious reasons.

And honestly if they hacked pitchcom at home, why wouldn’t you take it on the road? It’s hacking a signal it’s not something obvious happening that you can pick up on physically

Maybe, but if that were the case I don’t think Teel would be able to pick up on the tip and Martin change whatever it was that he was doing.

Or what? Lmao you have absolutely intimidated that Ishbia is only here to pilfer the white sox and leave.

I was a plane across the aisle from Gavin Sheets and didn’t clock it for the entire flight. Sam would be fine.

I've insinuated they are using technology at home to steal pitches. Someone in twitter speculated they might be hacking pitchcom and have a relay system. Cheating is ingrained in baseball, if you ain't cheating you ain't trying and all that. It wouldn't surprise me if they are doing something.

I have strong opinions. Feel free to disagree. I don't care.

Never said that. Don't put words in my mouth or lie or falsely accuse me again.

Picking up on tipped pitches ain’t cheating

Where are the reports of him wanting to move out of Chicago?? I am pretty certain you made that up.

Right after we called them out for cheating. Super sus.

I hear it's a top destination for older American expats. You getting any ideas, BamaDoc?

I discussed my thoughts about Private Equity some time ago, which are pretty much in concert with Warren Buffet's. In discussing my thoughts I posted a University of Chicago Business Law Review Article: "The Dark Side of Private Equity" Personally, having gone through (personally and professionally) the stock market bubble in the early 2000's and the 2008 Mortgage bubble, my views on PEI, and in particular, PEI in Health Care and the Home Mortgage sectors have hardened. Those were not PEI related necessarily, but they were "bubblicious" like Ishbia's United Home Mortgage asset is proving to be. Regarding the Reinsdorf/Ishbia deal, at least as reported: https://archive.ph/ZcEvG That deal struck me as a classic private equity/ leveraged buy-out. considering Ishbia's PEI promise to "pay-down debt" of the White Sox. Of course, leveraging debt is precisely what PEI do to gain leverage/control, manipulate valuation of assets, and ultimately make money, often at the cost of others. Meanwhile, I have no idea what White Sox debt Ishbia restructured and whether that restructured debt has done anything other than benefiting his own corporate/stock position. Regarding the reports that Ishbia is hell bent on moving the White Sox from their historical home, I think he should fvk off, fvk all the way off back to Michigan. Nothing he has done or reportedly done or proposed doing makes a stitch of sense to me. It's a high stakes fishing expedition. I recently read a post here suggestion a retractable roof stadium. Great idea but no, that kind of stadium would not fit on what is left of the "78" or the 47 acres across the canal that his PEI firm has a contingent deal to purchase. Of course he can sign another deal to add to the 47 acres or do whatever he wants.
