Uh collins is 3 years younger and catches and this is his first ever taste of the majors. Palka is the worst defensive player in MLB baseball and cant hit and has had like 600 mlb at bats. Weird that you cant seperate the two.

Collins is a 1st round pick with actual prospect pedigree?

Way to move those goal posts. Nothing more entertaining than just hating on everything white sox on this board I guess.

Add Yoan to that list too.

Ha have you noticed a trend with yourself ? Almost everything is bad or terrible or the worst. I really hope you laugh a lot and not the kind of laughter where you laugh at someone.

I doesnb't matter how many minor league at bats a minor league player has..it just doesn't. And it doesn't matter if Madrigal hits home runs. That is not his game.

Without fail I have been critical of the move, but at this point I have to say it. The Nova acquisition was absolutely worth it.

my only philosophy on baseball (as a young person) is that old players like colome are useless (as are saves, since I am a statnik) and should be force retired. If that's not possible, flipping them is an okay consolation prize. White sox should seek to ensure their roster is as young player as possible, as the old players may rub off on them and turn them old.

Um no thanks. 5% BB vs a 32.5% K rate. Unsustainable .375 BABIP. He’s going to be a 2 outcome player in the MLB if he even gets there. Sure let’s trade a catcher who earned his way to MLB for a flavor of the month who had one hot month. There are plenty to b**** about White Sox player development but missing on Sam Huff is far from one of them.

The bigger question is why are talking about a dude every team passed on 6+ times. Want to comb through who should have drafted Bush? Get over it.

Why? Huff has never been the prospect collins is or was. Could he become one or better? Sure, anything is possible but he certainly isnt one yet. Just because you watched a guy in a futures game today you think he is more valuable? Ok. Have a good one.

Listen watching the futures game and just asking every at bat why the Sox didn’t draft that player is boring and nobody cares.

Nobody wants to keep him for the sake of winning a few more games this year. It's to have a good bullpen moving forward in to next year and beyond. Why are you against him being our closer for the next 2-4 years? At a certain point you have to say it's time to build this up, instead of continuing to tear it down. The Sox have the pieces to move full steam ahead.

Fact

Former White Sox legend Ken Griffey Jr. in the booth

Joe Borchard hit the ball hard. He just didn't hit it enough. When I say he cant hit I'm pointing moreso to his 219 career average and his 171 k's in 141 games.

Cutting this game to 7 innings is annoying as hell

Sheets a 950 OPS his last 90 ab's. In that park that's great.

Sheets just went deep again.

Somewhere in the City of Chicago, Bruce Levine is getting ready to break the following story....Theo Epstein is reaching out to the Chicago White Sox front office about the availability of Eloy Jimenez. The Cubs are now willing to offer Kyle Schwarber in the deal.

Bummer is pitching pretty well for someone who’s arm has fallen off. 🤣

No your charade needs to stop. Every game your b****ing, moaning and complaining about everything. You complain about how a fricken player uses his Fucking uniform for crying out loud. Just stop already

I'm fine promoting Robert all the way if it means I never have to see Charlie Tilson again.

RON!!

If I was Hahn, I'd pull Ricky aside and tell him he'll be unemployed if Collins doesn't end the season with 76 total games played (barring unforeseen injuries). It's a dick move and it probably interferes with your manager's duties, but when your manager is a complete idiot, shit like this is necessary. And if you're not prepared to be hated, you're not prepared to lead.

Sox and Cubs play today! Great, let's get a guest into the booth for Jason and Steve! How about the credit lending regional guy for Wintrust who coincidentally is the most boring man on the planet. Perfect!

Kasper was terrible yesterday. I think AJ was annoyed at times yesterday

Like when he gave up the first pitch homer then nothing else last time against this team...

We're watching a super star before our eyes, Sox fans.

Both are in the starting lineup for the AL.

And it sounds like Logan Glass is signing as well.

You have brought this one game sample up so many times as if that is indicative of anything. Andruw Jones at one point certainly misplayed a ball that cost his team an utterless meaningless game as well.

It’s absolutely crazy that this is the guy someone is b****ing about.

I'm not saying that there isn't an argument for keeping Colome. There is. However, to suggest that anyone considering moving him to be "crazy" and "obsessed with losing" is just a meat ball take at it's finest. Totally absent of the rationale which would be behind a potential trade. You can "build up" by trading Colome. That would be the point here. You get a guy whose going to give you more value within your contention window than Colome would. Colome will be 31 next season. Many closers/relievers experience rapid drop offs as they get into their 30's. These guys often have enigmatic careers. Even if he remains a good closing option for a few years. We could get a legit prospect in exchange for him who could contribute as a rotational starter or possibly as an every day positional player for years to come. No one here is talking about a guy who still needs 2-3 years to develop. We are talking about a guy who is close now. That IS a trading to "win" move. Colome has been good, but he's far from special. There's plenty of Alex Colome's in baseball that we can go get. He's not a prime Kimbrel or Chapman. He's good... he's solid.

778 for a 26 year old DH is bad.

That documentary sounds interesting and all but let callis tell me about the prospects.

Something tells me that White Sox fans are feeling better about their team than Cub fans are feeling about theirs. This is despite the fact the Cubs are tied for the division lead, and the White Sox have little chance of going to the playoffs.

YES!!! GAME. BLOUSES.

Well admittedly I am not watching the game on TV. I have the MLB network on from a Roku channel called Gade TV which kind of specializes in foreign station like the Caribbean Islands and Canada but it also carries some US channels like MTV, VH1,MLB Network, Weather Channel and CNN and some more. . When it goes to commercials i get an MLB logo saying commercial break instead of the commercials but once in a while the screen will flash soething else and this time it was a Sox game . No idea which game ,just saw a score and Moncada not the opponent or the inning. Must have been something from the MLB network but I dont know if they werewatching some old tape or what. Maybe I got something from the broadcast truck . lol Eird anyway.

They technically do. McCann took strike 1 on the edge and strike 2 down the plate. Swing.

Yeah that strike two was meat. He had to of been looking off speed.

1 down 1 to go.

When AJ would say something even remotely biased, Kasper would go silent. The one that comes to mind is when Kasper mentioned the Quintana trade and singled out Eloy as the return. Pierzynski then said "and Dylan Cease." It went quiet for 5 seconds and Kasper immediately went back to calling the game. #dickslap

I agree and I am slowly learning more about using using them. I think it's just harder for the older fan to get into the advanced math used for advanced stats than the simpler math required for the old stats. Even the more mathematically inclined still have to put in a lot of time to really understand them which is why they are so misused by the new generation of advanced stats users because not even they take the time to really understand their exact function. Also there are so many new advanced stats that learning about how to use them makes it even more difficult . Batting average , RBI etc have been around 100 years. I'd just like to see if many of the new stats survive the cut in a few years or will they continue to come up with more and more of them to boggle my mind even more . And not just my mind but apparently many of those who use them constantly.

Home runs have never been part of this kids game, so I wouldn’t worry too much about how many he hits this yearI am sure the Sox will work on getting him stronger, and eventually he will reach the seats enough to shut up the doubters. That said, he and Robert started in A ball this year. And going by recent history, if Madrigal gets another promotion this year, it will be to AAA. I would say if that happens, let them finish out the season there, and see them in spring training. 4 levels in one season is a bit much, and with Roberts history of injury, you probably would be playing with fire having play an extra month after really hardly any playing for 2 or 3 years.

I keep feeling like the Brewers and Sox are a great fit for a Colome trade. I have no idea if the Brewers and/or Sox would do this, but Burnes is a great buy low type guy from them. He's had a miserable start to the season, as he can't keep the ball in the park. With that said, he has elite stuff (ridiculous spin rate numbers) and wouldn't mind giving him starts the rest of the way to see if he can work on his command inside the zone.

So I put my 2 weeks in last week. It turns out that the Inter-company (where my accountants finance people at) process that I just inherited over the past 3-4 months is all going to be done by one country in the next few months and is starting to be automated. And the person that I took it over from is delaying her medical leave another month or two. So everything worked out perfectly for me and I feel less bad about leaving.

was hoping this would be about hats and bobble heads.
