I dunno, this seems like the sort of thing that could happen at any organization, sports or otherwise. In fact, if you say enough stuff like this, they make you owner of the cubs. But who among us hasn’t had a boss be completely inappropriate in the workplace? At least they actually fired this guy. Too bad it happened, sorry for the people who had to put up with his nonsense. think the team can do better than Shirley anyway.

Wasn't he the #1 hitter in the majors against 95+ velo the first 2-3 months??? You can't do that with a hitch in your swing...just means you're constantly in between and that's also impacting your swing path to the ball mechanically. The arms are definitely more extended out over the plate and lower than the LH side pic...to cover low and away. The problem is also getting tied up inside, same with Kolson. Also, even more exaggerated bat wrap. Calling Shohei again to fix him...?

These guys are toast. I'll be shocked if we make the playoffs. Much less win the division

Have noticed this as well. Between this and Colson not being told to use the whole field, the hitting coaches are letting these guys down

I hate not having Newcomb available for later in the game for the first two games of the series. You saw today when you had to throw Murphy against Burlson how that ends up

The King of Real Estate paying rent to PE Ishbia lol? sounds like one potential solution Roger Bossard will also be around (working at least part-time) then? he has to be getting up there in age... was looking for amateur scouting candidates and found this interesting quote "Barfield has been a hot name in baseball circles for some time, with one executive recently texting: “He’s the best.” Barfield, 43, played four major-league seasons with the Padres and Guardians and is now the assistant general manager for the Chicago White Sox. He’s drawn consideration for general manager jobs in recent seasons, sources say, and with the White Sox’s ascension, he’ll continue to get looks. He’s a future GM, likely sooner rather than later." 16 future GM candidates FanSided16 rising MLB executives who could fill the next front-of...Major League Baseball’s front-office carousel has already begun turning, even if the full scope of this offseason’s changes won’t become clear until after the r

If this continues nobody is gonna show up on Thursday

it’s going to be awkward this weekend when Colson and Mune get booed by the home crowd if things continue this way

See my reply above, which I typed before reading this post. They could work out an agreement where JR would sign a lease with Ishbia and pay rent to him instead of to ISFA until ownership officially passed to Justin as late as 2034.

Why would you want Thorpe against all those lefties? Let Kay go Wednesday with Hagen as opener.

Yep, that's what they said on a recent Sox Machine podcast. He also told the Sodfather earlier this year he wants to keep doing this another 10 years. I know he's 90, but he looks like he's 75.....and to be clear, I am NOT rooting for anything bad to happen to him healthwise. This doesn't necessarily affect Ishbia's stadium plans. They could easily come to an agreement where Jerry pays rent to him for a few years until it's time to hand over ownership.

there won't be any "glory" without a new stadium in place by April, 2033 the only alternative would be the ASG at the Field of Dreams that could be tied into White Sox and 1933 ASG history...but hard to avoid 1919/Joe Jackson references, though can't really play it at Soldier Field without some major modifications

Well, here's one positive about PE/billionaires/corporations: "As the Seattle's mayor chases her own agenda, CEOs from corporate heavyweights like Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, Zillow and Nordstrom are demanding a “credible public-safety plan” that tackles deadly violence, open-air drug markets, and lagging police response times." nypost.com

Yeah, this is really bad. In the majors you have to change the way you play. You have to be able to adjust otherwise you are just going to be eaten alive. Colson’s quotes here are music to opposing pitchers’ ears.

These right here are why they have been losing. Pretty much the definition of choking. Hopefully they can start turning it around especially with the huge series against Cleveland but…idk man…aside from that Grichuk go ahead homer it really seems like they are toast.

if Thorpe doesn't start one of those games, Getz should be dragged

2034 is the first year it is up to Ishbia, and rumor is Jerry wants the glory of the 33 ASG.

Five factoids today: September 14, 1952 - In a 17-inning game in Chicago, Sox pitcher Saul Rogovin struck out 14 Red Sox in 15 innings of work. But it was Luis Aloma who got the decision as the White Sox won 4-3 on a single by Rocco “Rocky” Krsnich. It was the first game of a double-header, game two was suspended by darkness after four innings with the White Sox leading 3-0; “Minnie” Minoso hit a two run homer off Dick Brodowski; the game was halted due to league rules regarding lights. September 14, 1967 – The day after the Sox beat the Indians 1-0 in 17 innings, they continued their mastery over them by winning 4-0 in 10 innings. It was Cisco Carlos on the mound who went the distance allowing only five hits. The Sox won the game when Don Buford hit a grand slam off of Orlando Pena scoring Tommie Agee, Duane Josephson and Joe Horlen. It was the first walk-off grand slam in team history. September 14, 1974 - Sox first baseman Dick Allen called a team meeting and announced he was retiring from baseball. Allen, the controversial slugger, would still win the American League home run title even though he would miss the final two weeks of the season. Allen was fighting bad injuries to his shoulder and leg from previous seasons but the way he walked out on the Sox left a bad taste in the mouths of many fans. Sox G.M. Roland Hemond would then trade his rights to the Atlanta Braves for catcher Jim Essian. Allen would return and see action with the Phillies and A’s before really retiring in 1977. Even though he left two weeks before the season ended he still won the A.L. home run title with 36. September 14, 1997 - Carlton Fisk had his uniform #72 retired in a ceremony before the Sox took on Cleveland. But because of the way he was treated by the organization he asked that neither owner Jerry Reinsdorf nor G.M. Ron Schueler be a part of it and that wish was granted. The game was also remembered for manager Terry Bevington going to the mound to change pitchers...expect for the fact that no one was warming up in the Sox bullpen when he called for the change! The Sox would lose 8-3 despite using nine pitchers, a record for a nine-inning game. September 14, 2017 – It was a record setting afternoon for a couple of White Sox players in the team’s 17-7 blowout of the Tigers at Comerica Park. The Sox as a team pounded out 25 hits in the game. Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia went 5 for 5 with seven RBI’s and two runs scored in the game in addition to a walk. Sox rookie second baseman Yoan Moncada went 4 for 5 with two walks and five runs scored and first baseman Jose Abreu went 4 for 5 with three runs scored. Garcia became the second White Sox player with five hits and seven RBI in a game since at least 1913. The other was Carl Reynolds against the Yankees on July 2, 1930 in New York. Moncada meanwhile tied Hall of Famer Tim Raines franchise record with the five runs scored. Raines originally set the record against the Red Sox in Boston on April 18, 1994.

That missed FG from 45 still would have been enough but you start gaming out how to get to the end rather than putting foot on the gas...it just snowballs, avalanche going against you

Monday Newcomb/Burke vs. TBD Tues Davis Martin vs Gavin Williams Wed Kay or Fedde vs. Messick

He took a hit to the head and was removed due to a concussion

The Sox batted with the bases loaded 17 times in their last 14 games (4-10 record) and were 1-for-13 with four walks. Home run or nothing...LOL.

Did Kyler Murray get hurt or pulled due to ineffectiveness? Also crazy Loveland had zero FP when they put up 59...two targets

Newcomb opening tomorrow for Burke.
