Historically, that has been the case, But I think we miss the point about what JR/Getz, et.al., needed to do to improve THIS team for THIS pennant run. The Sox needed/need a top of the line catcher like Hunter Goodman. They also needed a TOR starter and a lights out Closer. Unfortunately, Getz and the WSox announced that they would not be trading from from their top prospect pool, including Calab Bonemer. So that they decided to stand pat and try to create a fancy deal for Bart and Castillo. OK The Sox saved prospect capital but they shouldn't have, not this year. This is the team and this was the season to go for it, it being however far they could go. Now 2027 season may not happen, the Sox may not be able to sign Murakami. And the core of this 2026 team might be whittled away with foolish trades, injuries, etc.

Go back and look at the thread. I graded the Sox trade deadline a C three days ago. So why don’t you guarantee what we all already know? You have no life outside of White Sox baseball. Anything else, Cali-jabroni? You’re so lame.

Well Stinky, you have also never faced the omniscient Thanos before, so good luck…

If Cali had done any research and checked my posts he'd have seen that I'm not sold on Luis. Instead he only looked at the vote on trades. Incomplete research can be worse than none at all.

Venable will continue to start Romo more though

Well, hopefully they flame out before we have to face them again (if we get that far). I was watching this game on the BoSox feed and by listening to their commentators, I could hear that they also know they're on a crazy once in a lifetime run, they mentioned that this stretch of 31-5 run is now the best in BoSox history. And their a historic team so that's nothing to sneeze at...

I need to channel your positivity. I don’t even have this much hope when I’m watching my own son’s football games. You must be the greatest dad ever.

Time for Sox to go on a huge run!!!

I know. Murphy would have to go down too but TS cant come up for him.

Yes, I watched the game. The manager doesn't have a button of "does the other team score runs - YES/NO". He did what he had to do.

Really need to win 2 of 3 this weekend

Let's see what he does against the Royals.

Brazoban has options technically, but they won't do that, so it should be Murphy. Schweitzer threw 2 IP today though, the replacement would need to be someone else. If they want to prioritize length, Urquidy last started on Sunday and Sandlin is scheduled for tomorrow. Between one of them, Schultz, and what's left in the pen, they should be able to get through 9 and reset enough for the rest of the series.

Stinky, all you need to know is that Cali thinks he’s always right about everything Sox related. He even pats his own back and gives himself a self-high-five when he thinks he predicted a transaction that the Sox actually made. And when the Sox lose in horrible fashion he gets frustrated and takes his rage out on SoxTalk posters, rather than the actual White Sox team that lost the game. This is Cali to a T. The end.

Would be nice to take advantage of this stretch with minimal travel. Maybe walkoff specialist EQ with a chip on his shoulder can take advantage of a home heavy schedule too.

Afraid? I didn't grade but I posted my skepticism about Luis elsewhere. Arrow pointing down. So I didn't give a grade. Boo hoo.

A pitcher replacing Bart? You can only carry 13 pitchers

Will say that the teams that have gone on historic runs in the season aren't able to maintain them in the postseason. A's and Guardians come to mind.

Honestly, sounds like an amazing surgery for Lip. One hour to fix a torn rotator cuff. My son’s surgery took like 3 hours, but it was torn ligaments (ACL) and meniscus removal/cleanup. Rotator cuff is muscles and tendons.

BoSox are 31-5 last 36 games, 17 wins vs +.500 teams and 10 straight series wins with 5 sweeps IIRC... they're on a historic run. Gotta tip our hats to them, they're doing everything right...is it sustainable into the postseason? I don't know, what I do know is if our Sox win the division or are in the playoffs, they're the last team I want us to meet. I'd rather face Tampa than BoSox infinity times over.

And your right arm?

Murphy would be the only reliever who can be sent down correct? I would think Schweitzer comes up, but only if hes eligible. Not sure what the rule would be for him replacing Bart.

Not with my left arm in this bulky brace for six weeks.

Can you pitch tomorrow?
