You better tune in to the GOAT broadcasting duo.

Gonna miss Hawk and Wimpy man.. Alot of my childhood watching and listening to these two in South Chicago growing up.

I only have a 20 game partial season plan but I have had for several years now. They chopped down the games from 27 to 20. I’ll probably always use some of my discretionary income on the Sox. Bottom line is I love the White Sox and I love baseball as a fan. I enjoy and appreciate watching Carlos Correa,Verlander, the fantastic batting eye of Joey Votto, Trout,Moncada play etc. The eyes on view shows how great these players are and in my opinion you can’t appreciate in a stat line. The one way I can see me losing interest or not being okay with spending money as a consumer only is if worst case scenario the bust rate of the prospects succeeds the success rate of the prospects in near term and the rebuild doesn’t take hold. i understand the logic behind the rebuild, but I am also aware of the risks of failure. Everybody is pointing to Houston and Cubs as the way this is done and the only model of success. But guess what the Giants recently won 3 titles in five years without attempting anything near this type of deconstruction. True they hit on posey, lincecum, Cain and Bumgarner, but rebuilding teams are by default going to have to hit on 1st rounders. Unfortunately all tanking does is get you a higher pick without guarantees. I think a healthy dose of skepticism in jerry,Hahn, kw brain trust is warranted based on recent years. This is actually their second rebuild. The pirates and royals have gone through decades recently 90s to 2010s of drafting in the top 10. They were not considered smart franchises by terming there losing as tanking and rebuilding. They were just considered horse.... franchises. By 2020 will be on a dozen years of this.

Lol...you can hate or be skeptical of the front office all you want, but people need to stop being surprised this team sucks and trying to use that as further evidence the front office is incompetent. The team is supposed to suck right now by design and ignoring that just makes some of you guys look like total fools.

But they do suck!

They also don’t win! Yes

RR likes to bunt.

hes going to be a huge part of this rebuild

No need to rush him.

Great post. Great post. I applaud the Sox for 2005. I give them credit for that. But this current crap is beyond belief. It's insulting to try to lose. It's obvious Hahn "wink win commissioner" built this team to lose. Any of us could do that. Any of us could get our underlings to draft the best available player. I'll give them credit over the average fan in getting Moncada and Eloy. Nice job there. And Kopech. Good job. I'm not convinced any of the other guys will lead us to greatness. I hope so. We shall see. All I know is the current product is crap. People ask me about the years before the rebuild and if I was OK with that. No I wasn't. And I also blame the front office for that. They are the ones who acquired hacks like Dunn and too many guys to mention who were stiffs.

I didn't think this was possible, but Renteria might be worse than Ventura. Renteria's managing decisions are questionable at best and mindboggling at worst.

What you don’t grasp is that “we”, the fans, aren’t the ones going on this “full fledge rebuild”. This so-called “rebuild” is solely on ownership and management, reflecting their abject failure to produce anything remotely resembling competitive baseball in a very long time. This expectation that fans should somehow accept and be patient with a front office that has been so poor at their job that they’ve effectively had to start from scratch with a rebuild is utter nonsense. As long as we’re still subject to and witnessing not only the lack of winning baseball but the awful variety of the past decade, our voices of discontent should be loud and clear until they get it right and put forth a product on the field worthy of our support.

I mean in reality Rick is also lucky he hasn't been fired for his lack of success thus far too.

You have to love having Anderson bunt to get a RISP for Engel. If doesn't really matter this year but it will eventually. If Renteria wants to hold his players accountable for playing the correct way, which he should, he should be held accounable managing the correct way.

Thanks for the great memories, Hawk & Wimpy!

Yeah no reason for Rondon to be in a rush, as they were only getting one out anyways

Tim was bunting for a hit you just couldn't tell.

Bullpen letting inherited runs score once again. That's a shame for Shields. He pitched his ass off.

As a regular attendee I thought I'd ask. Do you mind the high prices while watching that crap? Or are you OK with it all?

i’m at kopech’s game. velocity was great but he had no command. walked five and hit two in three Innings. only gave up one hit but he was all over the place.

The besss just went yard for the prospect watchers.

I understand the process of tanking, the incentives built into the cba, high draft pick, bonus pool for extended number of years, and playing with cheap young cost controlled talent, but as some other posters have stated this front office has not done anything in the past decade to build credibility they can succeed at this plan to the fan base. Who was more cost controlled than Sale & Quintana? I know now it’s different than before because of the injection of so much high end talent through trades in the system. But what else are we going to do as fans as long as Jerry Loyalty owns the team. I only hope next year they start adding some market talent which can be controlled through 23-24, arrenado, Kimbrel, pollock or similar type. Thus far I’ve been to 4 games this year and they’ve been outscored 31-6 and lost all of them needless to say.

Call your sons, call your daughters...oh wait it’s only 4 innings.

Hawk & Wimpy - the antithesis of cookie-cutter announcing!

Totally. It feels like a chapter in my life is closing

For Avi, I thought the same thing so I googled and saw a quote from Hahn a couple of days ago where it will be a “few” weeks. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/ct-spt-white-sox-joakim-soria-201803-story.html know nothing about Rodon since the last update which seemed encouraging.

Recapping Last Night's Performances Bart: 1-2, 2B, 4 BBs and an error. Madrigal: 2-4, 2 RBI India: 0-2, BB, 2 RBI Bohm: 3-4, 2 RBI Swaggerty: 1-4, 2B, 3 BBs

I assume we are just trying to be careful.

6 for 26 in those 7 games with 3 HRs, 6RBI, 5 BBs, 6Ks, .231/.355/.692 1.047 OPS.
