    Ha.

    It's not like putting wilson in there was a bad move or anything (he's actually been good), but the bullshit quote to try to justify it and make excuses like thisil is just embarrassing. 

    Yea that’s the thing for me with him, this is an easy “Wilson just didn’t have it, I thought I could get through with Kopech and Wilson and it just didn’t happen” and instead he makes up some bullshit about the part of the order Wilson had to face.  Newsflash, it was the back half of the order, 5-6-7.  Shouldn’t be the scary part

    all he had to do was acknowledge that his guys didn’t get job done and move on

    “Results have not been there, but we’ve been working really hard,” Jiménez said. “So, I know this is not going to be like that forever.”

    “For me, it’s come to the field every day, get your work done, and go out in the field and do your job,” Wilson said. “I see things pretty black and white, and tonight, I didn’t do my job.”

    “We’ve got to win games, man. Bottom line. We took a 5-2 lead, we had a full bullpen,” Grifol said. “We were in a good spot. Just didn’t close it out.”

     

    “Wilson’s thrown the ball great,” Grifol said of the right-hander, who had held opponents to 2-for-29 entering the ninth. “I was really comfortable with him coming in, starting at [Byron] Buxton right there.

    “If it would have been the top of the order, it might have been a little bit of a different story. But that pocket where he came in, it’s a pocket that we targeted prior to the game.”

    If Wilson got the top of the order, we win the game no doubt.   But instead he came in the middle of the order, and everyone knows there isn’t anything you can do about that but lose

    What’s his story?

    Just seems to be a super intense guy that rubs a lot of people the wrong way.  It’s the same guy that slapped Joc Pederson in the face (lmao) because of a fantasy football league game

    They were after Whit. He picked the better team. As pretty much every FA would have done. Only reason Pham is here is because no one came calling in the offseason and the Sox can pretty much guarantee playing time for him to prove his worth so he can get traded to a contender.

    I’m not really sure the plan to trade him after he starts hitting is gonna work.  Nobody wanted Pham because he is a toxic clubhouse presence.  Here we are in late April and the only team that came calling has 3 wins and the only reason they called was because Moncada Eloy and Robert got hurt immediately.  Who is to say Pham shows up and this team is so bad that he just mails it in and collects a few checks and goes away, or we get to the trade deadline and nobody is interested just like Clevinger.

    Crochet has gotten worse each start pretty much. Already losing velocity, becoming less effective each start. 
     

    Dude I don’t even use my little league pitchers as irresponsible as the White Sox are with their million dollar asset. And I’m a 39 year old dad trying to win a spring season trophy. 

    I bet your lineups make sense

    Generally, I think throwing in the towel in any sport is bad business and poor sportsmanship. Sox can win some of the close games they have been losing. They have to make adjustments and keep trying, not throw in the towel.  As long as they go out and battle, I will support the team. 

    I agree with you that this type of tanking is bad for business, and I wish they would do things you want them to do like trying to upgrade this team.  I just know that the overall talent level is pretty low and i don’t see that changing any time soon, and that will eventually cause these 2-1 losses to get a bit uglier when it warms up

    The Sox are losing a lot of 9 inning games by one or two runs and losing some in extra innings. Management can either throw in the towel and tank the team for years by trading premium talent for prospects OR find a way to improve the team so that they can get over the hump and win many of those close games. I would pursue the latter course because the Sox have a few hitters who will start hitting and they have improved the depth of the pitching staff which will serve them as the season moves on. It isn't even baseball weather yet.

    Buddy hate to be the bearer of bad news but you better understand that towel was thrown in last August

    I'm just wondering where he's going to play. Benintendi is playing because JR is paying. Fletcher in CF, and Grossman in RF. Sheets will probably get OF reps with Eloy back. Even in Pillar is cut, he ain't playing.

    “But where will he play!?”

    It's so fucking stupid! If he's good enough to come off the IL he sure as hell should be good enough to start! Why would you activate him if he's not ready to start?

    This "roster crunch" on a 40 win team is just the cherry on top of this franchise's stupidity.

    It is fucking stupid but remember Ozzie used to do that too and drive us crazy 😂

    If what he said was right, then all major league teams are trying to grind down all of their pitchers. 

    It’s not all pitchers though, it’s Crochet who has had nothing but arm troubles with very little innings.  I hope this works out and Crochet is the ace we dream he can be but I’m not gonna sit here and say I agree with letting him throw 92 pitches in a meaningless April start in a lost season was something I wanted to see.  The Sox don’t get the benefit of the doubt in handling pitchers well recently so I don’t really see anything wrong with what he said
