  1. Past hour
  2. Nowhere near as bad as Wirtz, but conceptually yes.
  3. Today
  4. He was awesome, no question about it. Was like Sale was back. I just have questions with his workload, even in college, when its going to come back to haunt him. Having him throw 87 pitches to me his first start, s like letting Cease, if he were still a White Sox, throw 130 on Opening Day.
  5. You were probably surprised by the game I take it.
  6. Literally the Bill Wirtz of the White Sox.
  7. Agreed, so I updated the thread title to transaction tracker for accuracy. Will track snapshots of the 40 man roster at year end and opening day. Will also track removals of Hahn’s remaining 19 players (16 active, 3 on 60 Day MLB IL) on the 40 man roster as they occur, until there are no players left.
  8. Think again. Getz is riding Crochet to the playoffs. Just wait until this lineup awakens!
  9. I will probably smoke a cigar the day he dies. Not in his honor, but in celebration. He's been a fucking curse on this organization for the duration of his ownership.
  10. I’m hoping the Sox place Crochet on the IL after every few starts to preserve his arm, so he can last the whole season. The Dodgers would do this to lessen the load on their young arms and often injured pitchers like Kershaw/May. The Sox have acquired so much pitching depth since last season’s trade deadline that they can easily pluck someone from the 40 man to replace Crochet for a start or two.
  11. Here are the remaining 19 players on the 40 man roster plus IL List left from the Rick Hahn era (through August 22, 2023), which we can track until the last man standing. More will be added as new minor league players are added to the 40 Man Roster over the next several years, but they will be Chris Getz additions to the 40 man roster. Deivi Garcia is the answer to the trivia question as Rick Hahn’s last MLB roster player acquired before Tony’s Twi-Night of the Long Knives 8/22/23. Hahn acquired one more player, Minor League player Travis Swaggerty, after the Deivi Garcia claim, on August 15, 2023, one week before he met his fate. Travis was was released by Chris Getz on October 10, 2023, and later signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers. 19 Players Last Added to the 40 Man Roster + MLB 60 Day IL by Rick Hahn 2 Free Agents (2 MLB) 5 International Free Agents (1 MLB; 4 MiLB) 4 Trade Recipients (4 MLB) 7 Draft Selections (6 MLB; 1 MiLB) 1 Waiver Claim (1 MLB) MLB Level: 11 Active Roster + 3 Injured List.

  12. Weird topic but now that u mention it ... I gave up coffee about 8 months ago cause I faced a schedule with a ton of travel and frankly I wanted to see if I'd be able to go less. You take a 2.5 hour plane ride it'd be nice to not have to get up especially if you have no aisle seat. You drive 4 hours with other people and you do not want to have to stop more than mabe once. You get in an uber for a 20 minute ride and you certainly don't want to have to find a bathroom cause u just chugged some water or coffee. I will say having no coffee cold turkey did help reduce the need to hit the bathroom. I worship coffee, just love it, but now don't drink it. It's a good trade off. I don't need to find a starbucks to avoid a coffeeless headache and don't have to race to the bathroom as much at inopportune times. However, don't quite understand why most nights I have to get up a lot to go to the bathroom. Truly it's annoying. If it is emotional issues I could see that cause I am a wreck as in Veeck. Peace out.
  13. https://youtu.be/yVLyWzIxhrQ?t=346 Benetti on this call is so funny. "bummer he didn't hit a home run...oh wait that's a good thing".
  14. Look at the bright side. The Burger trade likely got two guys fired.
  15. I honestly thought T Mobile went out of business years ago. I guess it was just US Cell which I only know of because of the stadium name.
  16. Bottom four for sure. Possibly bottom five if Andrew Vaughn doesn’t turn into anything better than a .735 OPS first baseman.
  17. It’s the second place team’s record that the “playoff/division winner” must exceed that is interesting to me. Guessed the first place team would just need 79 wins at year end to clinch the AL Central (all four teams below them would finish with 78 or less wins), which happened as Detroit did finish with 78 wins. Think the winner needs 80 plus wins this year, with second place 79 or less. Believe first will finish over .500, but they won’t necessarily need to do so with the other four teams finishing with 79 or less wins at year end. So the division got tougher by a game this season, IMO.
  18. What is known is the bottom three in the lineup are historically bad. There's no stud in the lineup except Robert. Moncada, Robert, Eloy and Vaughn will probably have nights the four of them rake. We 'should' win many of those games maybe if the bullpen doesn't implode those nights. This team has no power at all and the most of the hitters won't make any opposing pitcher sweat especially the last 3 guys in the order. You can't strike out as many times as this lineup will and walk so few times and homer so few times and win games. I'll stick with this season being historically bad.
  19. Great ideas to be honest. From your post to Grifol’s stupid ears. How sad is it that we are talking about a 34 year old Robbie Grossman being an upgrade to our lineup?
  20. Jerry has hired a series of inept ass-kissing clowns to GM and manage his ballclub over the years. He just cut the payroll by $55 million in one offseason. His favorite player is David Eckstein so his stupid new GM hire decided to fill the lineup with three of them, and that’s not including Benintendi. He blames Sox fans for his team’s lack of success and earning power at his current stadium and expects taxpayers to fund his new ballpark billions of dollars. He is a smug talking, cigar smoking, piece of garbage who apparently wants to win, as long as he doesn’t have to pay a player what he’s worth on the open market. I’m sure I’m missing a lot more great points, so please add your own. When will we be free of this pathetic miser? By the way, this is what I picture whenever we rage about this team, except he’s laughing at us with huge puffs of cigar smoke billowing from his mouth, blowing perfect smoke rings in between laughs.
  21. Maybe Maldonado accepts being a coach, and maybe they decide they can deal with the diminished defense during LHP starts, and Grossman's in the OF. DeJong will be here until Monty wrests the position away.
  22. I'm just happy that I figured out that if I'm dreaming that I'm inappropriately urinating in a clothes rack in a department store, or in somebody's kitchen, pulling bowls out of the cupboard to whiz in, WAKE THE f*** UP!!!
  23. I don't think Illinois is gonna beat UConn. But you never know.
  24. No, it's just an elbow superficial bursitis. He hit it on something. It's all external to the joint. They will drain it and it will be fine. I've seen them the size of a baseball.
