Did anyone on the Sox have the prescience to look at a damned forecast and consider whether a situation where we wasted lance start on 2 or 3 innings of rain-ball was a good idea?4 points

The lack of willingness to shake things up is starting to piss me off. Why is Yermin playing today but sitting yesterday against a lefty? Why is Gonzalez on this roster? Why was Collins playing yesterday against a lefty. So dumb. This team is sinking and needs help fast.3 points

I mean…they wanted to get the game in as the Mariners don’t return to town. Is it an ideal scenario? No. But they don’t control the weather and this board/fan base acts like the Sox are out to fuck their fans over everytime it rains. It’s so silly. If this board was in charge of PPDs a dozen games would be called a year that could easily get played.2 points

Blackmon is terrible this year. Awful offensive numbers for a Rockies player. He’s not a good solution to the issues the Sox have.2 points

We have been saying this for quite with anyone we have been facing. Truth is MLB pitching destroys AAA lineups.2 points

He needs to be brought up. If 3rd base is his natural best position, then why cant Jake play third and move Moncada to 2B? Let's not forget 2B is Moncada's first and original position before being converted to 3B.2 points

One thing I just thought of is how vaccinations will impact things at the trade deadline. I’d assume players that aren’t vaccinated will come at some discount as it puts downward pressure on total team thresholds. I have not been able to see anywhere online if Escobar has been vaccinated or not.2 points

I’m not an “insider” for the Sox. I have a bit of an insight with the blue jays. Everything my guy is telling me is the Sox are going crazy. Expect something soon2 points

lol @ the thought of trading Lynn/Rodon. 0% chance that is even discussed. Likely 0% chance Vaughn or Kopech is on the table as well. However, talking about Crochet might be interesting. Adding him and some of our MiLB pieces would net us a big time trade. Not Ketel Marte big, but maybe Story? Maybe Gallo?1 point

I don't think he was talking about a trade with the Jays , just that his source with the Jays hears the Sox are very active unless the expect something big soon is actually involving the Jays . They need pitching and with Springer back maybe can afford to give up hitting. Hard to imagine the Sox giving up one of Lynn or Rodon to a contender but if the tradeoff is mutually beneficial to each others needs who knows. Maybe the Sox just put Kopech into the rotation then. If you give up one of Lynn or Rodon wouldn't you think it would be Rodon and would the Jays actually want him since he's also a free agent with a dubious injury history and questionable with innings pitched limits making his 2nd half /playoff contributions somewhat hazy ?1 point

Bryan Reynolds is a pipe dream. The White Sox aren’t trading Michael Kopech. To me, going big would be like Gallo and Kennedy from Texas and Frazier from Pittsburgh. I’m not sure what they’re planning though1 point

For the record, it was Jimmy Lamberts turn at Charlotte and Teyron Guerrero started. Odds are Lambert is the extra man tomorrow.1 point

Vaughn for Carson Kelly, as a base Vaughn + Crochet + Madrigal for Carson Kelly + Ketel Marte, as a base Vaughn + Crochet + Madrigal for Zac Gallen + Ketel Marte, as a base Etc. Not sure any of those could/would happen, but those are multi-year solution types of players coming back (and also going out). I do think that Madrigal's last 1-1.5 months of play really lifted his trade value. Unless the hamstring is a potential issue going forward, it's a lot of control over a guy who could be a quality starting 2B with 1 truly elite tool.1 point

Security is taking advantage of the delay to diligently frisk all fans for unauthorized popcorn. Jerry gets another hour to sell overpriced food and beer. The COVID-free Beer Snake will grow accordingly.1 point

That isn't going to be public knowledge, and I am not even sure that can be included with medicals.1 point

Protecting your fans from going into a Tornado warning to make the game seems reason enough tho1 point

Because Carlos Rodon gets to choose his own catcher apparently, and has chosen against the teams $80 million catcher.1 point

Mercedes in against a righty. Just for perspective, he’s put up a -7 wRC+ against RHP in 38 plate appearances this month. I have no idea what the organization’s plan is with Yermin at this point other than close their eyes and hope he magically discovers his April production.1 point

This team is so injured it's hard to imagine it even winning the division. This is ridiculous. Everybody's hurt.1 point

Haven't seen security crack down on the beer snake phenomenon this season. Dozens of drunken yahoos assembling hundreds of beer cups across multiple rows and sections. Then again beer snakes add thousands to Jerry's beer revenue. Gee, which scenario will security clamp down upon?1 point

So two weeks ago this team proved how great it was and how resilent it was. Then when we start losing it is because of injuries. The injuries suck for sure but injuries will always happen in baseball. I'm sure the Angels would love to have a healthy Trout and Rendon play together. I'm sure the Twins and Yankees would love to have some luck with health, as would the Cubs. I'm sure Cleveland would love to have 3 of their SP's healthy. No excuses. If this offense is broke make a trade or two for some meh players that can hold the fort instead of running out guys that can't hit.1 point

They really need to do a serious assessment of what’s wrong with Abreu and whether Robert can come back at anywhere near 90%. The Indians’ injuries won’t allow a White Flag season, nor can or should it, but it seems they’re just going to have to be satisfied with hopefully making the playoffs and then getting some reinforcements for 2022-23 simply by spending money, since trade capital is slim and none.1 point

He JUST got to play his first pro game within the last week. Slow the roll on the panic. He's walking into a situation where everyone else has been playing in their spots for a month and a half, and wasn't even supposed to be with this team originally. Let the kid gets his ABs and settle in.1 point
