He is a 30- 40 homer guy with + defense, possibly an MVP type player, under full team control and isn't Arb Eligible until 2029. I think he is worth keeping around.

He needs a complete re-do, the Sox must have a 2 week labor intensive period this winter to fix his stance and swing and his head too.

Stoney tonite flatly stated that venable and getz will win manager and GM of year. That's a bit of a leap but could happen. I know that Dave roberts and pat murphy are probably the only managers whose fan base does not hate. I still think overall venable has done a good job sheparding this flawed roster to the cusp of playoffs. Big picture....he's not a bum.

No doubt, he was hired as an OJT manager and I hope he is learning from all his mistakes.

Go with the Venable opener for game 1 of the wildcard I guess and then Burke/Martin for 2nd and 3rd games? Idk doesn’t make much sense

The Sox are taking the division !!!

Anyone who thinks sox won't at least get the wild card should kindly F off. We don't want your negative energy around here.

My blood pressure is already elevated, breathing exercises to game time: Step 1: Take a deep, sharp inhale through your nose. Step 2: At the very top of that breath, take a second, quick "sneak" inhale to fully inflate your lungs. Step 3: Let out a long, slow exhale through your mouth.

my first car...1974 beige, Slant 6 engine, Ofc I as a 16 year destroyed the transmission slamming it from neutral to drive at stop lights and got a reckless driving charge before ending up with the boxy but economical 1984 Honda Accord instead. And Al Bundy moved up in the world to Sofia Vergara lol.

Venable has a starting pitching staff equivalent to Al Bundy's Plymouth Duster, cut him some slack.

The players bust their asses off for him and fully respect him.

No reason for that in this thread.

I would ask what Colson's future position is with the Sox. If Roch is all that his press clippings say he is, I have to believe he is the SS down the road in 2028. If Mune is gone after 2027, Colson could move 1st, or Vargas could move to 1st and Colson to 3rd. No way do I want the Sox to give up on Colson. He just needs more attention to keep his bat in the groove.

The Man, the Myth, the Legend! RIP

Good day for the Sox to clinch and take first place back.

Sox get it done today !!

You had a nice run with the game threads, stay loose, you will be needed in the playoffs

What is the best White Sox game record in 2026 based on the starter? The White Sox have a 83.3% winning percentage (5-1) in 2026 in games started by Sean Newcomb, the best on the team. In those starts, he went 0-0 himself with 6 no decisions and a 0.84 ERA. team record in opener/reliever starts Newcomb 5-1 Hudson as starter 5-4 Taylor 3-1 Eisert 3-1 Murphy 1-2 Hicks 0-2 Hagen Smith 0-1 Leasure 0-1 Gilbert 0-1 Total 17-14

White Sox 99.4% to make the playoffs 34.5% to win the division Orioles @ 0.4% Astros over Rangers still...due to tiebreaker for season series meaning Texas is actually one game behind, so pretty much same odds as White Sox vs. Cleveland soxmachine.com Smith has reverse splits the season, for what it's worth (not much yet, except to say he's not weaker against righties). A lefty, Carter Jensen, led off the inning with a smoked single as evidence. Pasquantino foiled a lefty-lefty matchup against Bryan Hudson to wreck the White Sox's opener plans. Smith is probably the kind of reliever who should be attacking unless it makes no sense to do so. splits vs RHB .070/.355 vs. LHB .200/.549

Animal Farm analogy?

You are smarter than Venable. I worry accordingly. Next time in a similar situation I would give him the take sign on 3-1 until he shows better discipline,and earns the right to swing.

That really covers it.

82-77 means they could still finish 82-80 Houston and Texas could win out I guess Texas would lose West on tiebreaker and wild card on tiebreaker as well Baltimore would be out though odds of White Sox losing last four 6.25% odds of that combination of 4 losses and four wins by one of Houston/Texas 1/256 odds of Baltimore (3 games remaining) Texas Houston all winning out, Sox losing five in a row to end season 3/100,000 odds of going crazy if all that actually transpired approximately 1/4

Sandlin vs Dobnak Sox can only clinch today with a win, as the Orioles don’t play.

He has always been terrible in multi inning saves. Watched it over and over again in SD.
