Way to win in spite of another poor Castillo start

First time opening this thread. 25 wins / Indian losses. Sick. 🔥 SWEEP THE CENTRAL BABY!!!

One of those two is on the Hall of Fame List so there’d be no point. The other is too almighty to even qualify for the honor. 😆

When Castillo goes up and is throwing BP the first two innings and dancing out of constant trouble for the next two, it’s dicey. 😆 Especially after his last outing. Eek. Anyhow… SWEEP THE CENTRAL!!!

This is incoherent. Liptak has one narrative that isn't correct. The end.

Sorry, that's pretty dumb.

If you keep talking smack like that, I’m going to sick my other online buddy @ron883 on you.

Shut the f*** up.

Exactly. You don’t pay a premium for additional year(s) of control for bad players in a playoff run. Grab cheaper rentals that are currently performing well and then sign better players for future seasons when there is a much larger pool of players to choose from in free agency. But the Sox are still cheap under Jerry, so this is what happens…

They are still waiver-wire talents. Trading for them is highly questionable.

Actually excited about this. His stuff is nowhere near as good as Hagen’s outside of his changeup, but he hasn’t walked guys at all in the minors. Crossing my fingers.

As always reading game threads after a win is hilarious. Go Sox. They’re winning the division and getting the 2 seed. Will managed a great game tonight.

That’s ok. Thorpe is next. This is why you spend all the money and time with these guys. Now, sink or swim, and don’t stress about tossing them in

It won’t. You can get away with that in AAA, not in the show.

What’s the expression. Don’t confuse activity with progress. Something like that. Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don’t make. There’s another.

This is a half truth. The Sox dumped a total of $12 million in salary for this year and next year combined by sending Dominguez to the Mariners in the trade. While that wasn’t a bad thing, it means Castillo is only costing the Sox $30 million for the rest of this season and all of next season, and he’s only under contract for one more season. Do you truly think that Jerry would approve Getz signing a younger starter for multiple years at $25+ million per year via free agency in the upcoming offseason? If you do, you’re kidding yourself. There’s a reason they wasted $30 million on this bum starter nearing retirement. That’s cheap compared to free agency. This is their “ace” acquisition for next season as well. Like @Lip Man 1 always says, “Penny wise, pound foolish”. This is how the White Sox operate. Nothing has changed under Jerry.

Because he sucks.

Sandlin will do better. Any of them will actually.

FYI Twins are currently playing short with a hurt Buxton and a third catcher they never play taking up 2 of their bench spots. Knowing MIN has limited PH/sub options might help explain some of Will's decisions with the pen and his own PHs

Bonemer with a walk off single (would have been a double)

Probably not. Maybe not. Sometimes you just gotta put the horses out there and let em run however.

As long as you ignore his BB compared to his IP. That ERA won’t last.

Probably should give Beni some love too since he had an RBI single and and RBI double. He's pretty goodd at getting hits with RISP.

yeah, there's no way in hell that, after committing $2.3B to a new ballpark for a team that has a history of struggling to draw fans that they'd turn around and plop another MLB team 90 miles away. An Orlando team would cannibalize the Rays TV market, too.
