This lineup is so absurd I had to come out of hibernation to join the fun

Grandal has averaged a 5.0 fWAR the last 5 seasons. Only White Sox fans would b**** about his acquisition 2 and 1/2 games into his White Sox career after a long layoff.

Ricky tested negative for Covid but positive for crack.

Maybe my opinion will change, but I'm feeling like I can't enjoy this season anymore. I'm glad they tried. I'm glad they had summer camp to do baseball activities and be in the public view for a month. But after seeing this for 4-5 days, and especially with the Marlins situation, it's not an enjoyable thing right now. It's just a little too uncomfortable to witness what's going on. Hope things get better though, and nobody gets hurt/sick. Vent over,

They gotta stop testing.

Maybe the White Sox are just off too a bad start. Maybe the White Sox are not as good as the Twins or the Indians. Maybe the White Sox are just not a very good team. I've already read on this site and elsewhere that the White Sox might replace their present manager. That just might happen. All in all, this looks like another losing season in the dreadful Rick Hahn era. This could be the 8th year in a row that the team has had a losing season. Hahn has not had one winning season here and he keeps his job. If the White Sox had an owner who cared about winning, Hahn would have been gone years ago. I thought Hahn was not going to have his contract renewed a few years ago. I even wrote JR a letter requesting an interview for the White Sox GM job. JR never responded to me. I'm going to write JR another letter and I'm going to offer him my services as the new GM. i hope to get a response this time.

"In an effort to get Nicky more ABs, we're going to move him to leadoff. He has really been locked in on seeing pitches, but a bit unlucky on the result." -Rick Renteria, probably...

Yes a historically dominant team is always unlikely to be repeated but they still won 90 games the next year.

Change The Game needs to be changed to Take A Mulligan

Ozzie's worst move was running Mackowiak out to CF most of 2006 imho

Ozzie would have gone ballistic on someone calling him out like this. Still a childish pile of crap after all these years.

Ricky sucks and his lineups are infuriating but Ozzie hit DeWayne Wise leadoff so fuck him too.

Trading for anything that is "win now" in a season that may be cancelled in a week is silly.

Ozzie was clowning on Ricky's lineup featuring Delmonico hitting 4th in the second game of the double header. He questioned why Robert is batting so low. Says that "protecting" a rookie is meaningless and stupid. Also, see below. Could Ozzie be gunning for Ricky's job? He sure as hell would be better.

He’s on the team for next year!

Will attendance be impacted by this slow start?

Renteria and Coop can be let go at any point now.

People are criticizing the Sunday lineup justifiably. Ricky's running Sunday lineups out there on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday though.

They have deflated and beaten down their fan base before a full week has passed.

Fuck this shit

Can't put a whole lot of worth into what Ozzie "Sunday lineup" Guillen has to say about lineups.

The Sox approach vs a pitcher who has no idea where its going vs the Indians earlier approach vs a pitcher who has no idea where its going tells you all you need to know about the two coaching staffs

That's because the guy puffing his chest about his failure right now is an idiot

He had a .500 OBP entering today

So it was effectively left up to Rojas whether or not the Marlins would play on Sunday and he tests positive 2 days later. Real bang up job, everyone.

And Darin Erstad instead of Robert.

I mean wasn't it Ozzie who was known for the "Sunday" lineup that had all kinds of odd things. Didn't Timo Perez hit cleanup once or twice?

He probably thinks they need Mark Teahan instead of Yoan.

Guarantee 100% that Ricky will say he had a feeling that putting Nicky in the 4 hole would break him out his slump. I'm ready for a new manager tomorrow

Yep I go full meatball during gamethreads. If you don't like it.... To be a fan of a team is to be irrational.

You suck

Mazara and Madrigal need to get here.

this team looks identical to every sox team of the last 10 years when it comes to their approach at the plate

Eloy would have killed himself on that play.

Do you know what would be neat? Luis Robert batting higher in the lineup.

Grandal is so good at framing he helps the opposing pitchers too!

I see Parkman is in mid season form.

No catcher on the planet could have guided Giolito, Cease and López to quality outings with the garbage those guys were throwing.

I think if Grandal caught that game, Keuchel would have been just as effective.

That Grandal is not the problem

Cease, ya ever been to beautiful Schaumburg, Illinois?

Was time four years ago. Sale and Quintana masked just how terrible he’s been the last 15 years.

Eloy was out there taking BP and looked healthy/strong. I think that's a good sign that he could play in game 2.

This is where he money squabbling in the end kills this plan. Should have built a 60 game season from July 1st with bunches of days or even a week off here and there and then left a week or two off at the end of the season to make up games. It is not a normal season but here we are pretending the switch would be flipped. Lord the minds in baseball are idiots.

Something here doesn't compute...

Um excuse me, you aren't allowed to speculate on a complete strangers life. Its offensive. Cant you read?

well hes right, 27 runs in 3 games is atrocious

He has zero personality and expresses zero opinions outside of conventional thinking. Replace him with jason whitlock

This is what concerns me with kopech. For a guy with anxiety and depression, surrounding yourself with the hollywood lifestyle cannot be good for him mentally. Hope he gets through this, but i also do want to know the details, because on the surface, with those details absent, it paints him in a bad light.
