All Activity

If they both don’t absolutely dominate then I’ll be disappointed.

Surprisingly, Roch is getting over 80% in early voting results. One of the most respected draft day posters in SoxAce is the only Emerson vote and Lackey also currently has only one vote. Looking like perhaps there actually is a near consensus for Roch outside of all the draft thread noise.

That was my shower thought this morning. Haven't seen him running or BP in a couple days, and either he's ready to be activated or f***, maybe a setback. Hoping for former obviously.

100% I put the probability that Mune stays at 80/20.

Yes. I'm consistent with my criticism. That was totally unprofessional by the Cubbies.

Is there anyone on Soxtalk who has seen Emerson? I assume not.

save your sanity and treat Ron's posts as sarcasm

Growing pains No shortage of guys throwing thru a wall but pitching and throwing strikes, outs by contact...........forgettaboutit

Ron needs to go to New York and ask if Yankee fans root for the Mets? Or go to the Los Angeles area and ask if Dodger fans root for the Angels. Please. You pick a side, Period. Full stop. End of story. And here's an example of how the Cub organization feels about the White Sox. For years, decades, the scoreboard at Wrigley when listing American League games would have White Sox on it versus whomever they were playing. Now and this has been the case I think since the Tribune Company bought the team, although I can't say that for sure, they list the Sox as "Chicago" versus whomever they are playing on the scoreboard. And we're supposed to root for them? 😆

And Getz has said he wants to keep him here (with an understanding that he's earning a bigger payday). Both sides will try to work something out whether it's this summer or after the season.

Are you gonna condemn them too for running up the score on a position player?

Don't feel like it's been particularly silent? They're waiting on him to be running full speed, then they'll decide if they think he needs rehab reps at AAA or not. So almost certainly not tomorrow, though do I lean towards them avoiding a Charlotte stint if they can. A return during the homestand feels right, get him into some winnable games at home and then hopefully come out of the ASB full steam ahead.

You have to take all those with a grain of salt though. It all depends on what a team is willing to pay for his services.

Schultz seemed like the same Schultz we have seen before. You really have to use your imagination to think that he can be a consistent starter. He's gotta throw more strikes.

Feels like either a rehab assignment or an activation are coming soon. Hoping silence is good news vs. there was any form of a set back.

The silence surrounding Murakami's (anticipated) return is deafening. Maybe tomorrow?

Can we steal some people from said pitching lab?

Wow they must be in first place in the AL Central!

Seems like you are not taking into consideration all of the glowing Mune quotes expressing his loyalty as a White Sox player. According to him himself, he wants to stay here.

I guess they’re a streaky team.

Ok Cusack

I've never seen a season like the Cubs are having. A pair of 10 game win streaks, then lose 18 of 24, now about to win 11 of 13. With everybody and his brother on the injured list. How the hell are they doing it????????????????????????????

Sorry, that's not happening at least with this individual. Screw them all.

Well the fact that they are in a race where every game could matter even more significantly over time...they may want to rethink that philosophy. Third straight series they had a chance for the sweep and could not close it out. Very frustrating.

Oh… Ron… 🤦🏻‍♂️
