Hoping to do some road trips with the Sox in the upcoming years. I'll put Target at the top of the list for that, but probably gonna see our minor league affiliates first starting with Birmingham or Charlotte/Kannapolis next season.

You need to go to the game where they're giving out the Harry Potter Wands. You're magic ! 🪄

Just FYI, I was responding to the poster who said he should be released. He shouldn't have been acquired in the first place, of course, but regardless of if you agree with that or not JR wouldn't let them do that. And I agree with you in the sense that you don't get a guy like this only to release him after five starts. The question is, if he keeps stinking up the place, when do the Sox let him go?

MLB.com had a listing of some of the possible free agents for next season: https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-players-with-opt-out-clauses-player-options-club-options-for-2027

He's just another choice. Probably will get a shot after Sept 1st. Maybe not. Hard to tell what they are thinking. He's not a guy they expect to go 6 innings and if you're picking based or performance and ability to pitch 6 then there's not much to go on except a short minor league performance after TJ surgery.

Game thread + attendance. That’s devotion.

It's more like pick your poison. Probably best to leave these decisions to the adults. They've done all right getting the team this far.

How about Thorp?

Jerry?

If that release him he sucks worked every time somebody on this board said somebody sucked or was a bust I could name another 3 guys who'd be off this roster and guess that someone at some point said another 5 sucked and it would mostly be from the starting pitching staff and our best hitter and our SS with 28 bombs. Castillo will either prove you right or wrong but it won't because of his 1st 5 starts. There's a middle ground between sucking and his 1 great start that proved he still has what it takes. He just needs the time to find it. It makes no financial sense to dump a guy without ever seeing if he could turn it around . That's what's dumb.

I can't remember a Sox team with the positional versatility of this team, or so few base cloggers that takes 3 hits to score them from 1st. Last night's outfield Sam, Peters, Montgomery, then late inning defensive moves Peters, Doyle, Montgomery. That is one of the better defensive outfields I have seen the White Sox ever put out while I have been watching.

No worries, you got this Southwest Sider.

It took me so long to log in haha. I finally got it to work on my phone Tried logging on my buddies laptop and blanked my password and locked out my account too. Stressed out trying to make this happen!!

If Walker McKinven had to take a couple of days off I would suggest to Venable to ask Pope Leo to sit in and take over as the bench coach.

Fun time at the game last night. Target Field is awesome. Also happy hour $2 beers $2 hot dogs was great. Make it 4 in a row!

I hope they win this year in case I am not around to see them next. I wish Getz went for it.

@Southwest Sider get to work

Watched some videos of Castillo from 2020. He’s really changed his mechanics. To me, he seems to be throwing too much drifting to the third base side. At times, he looks like a side armer. It’s crazy how much his tenure reminds me of Shields so far

Murakami has become really solid with the glove. I know some people think his future with the team is at DH but he has such a a high IQ defensively. Don't think we should move him from 1B. I also think Vargas is a good enough athlete to eventually figure 3B out.

We don't really have anyone else. Just hope he figures his s%*# out. I'm way more comfortable going to him then a rookie.

This is being optimistic at this point.
