Let’s string together some BACK to BACK to BACK to BACK wins now!

I had to log on just to say that that was one of the dumbest, most infuriating things I've ever seen a baseball team do, fire RR, k bye

18 of next 24 vs Tigers, Royals, and Pirates. Time to beat the shit out of teams that are supposed to be bad.

RR taking a nice nap thinking about a delicious pie

I'm impressed you can determine this after 83 at bats for Mendick and 17 at bats for Madrigal.

Tales from parkman‘s ass ?

Nobody has any clue what the hell you're talking about, or at least why the hell you're talking about it in this thread

I'll probably watch the first 3 innings. That will tell me what kind of mindset this team is in today. I'm done watching 9 inning games where they get 2-5 hits and 0-2 runs with their SP imploding in the first 3 innings. A lot of people stuck with the rebuild, and if it doesn't even get off the ground, people are going to start leaving in droves. I know this is an anomaly of a season, and it was probably going to be another development year anyway, but there are just way too many signs of incompetency, unpreparedness. and lackadaisicalness. You cannot have that and win at the same time.

Alright boys, today is the definition of a must win as the Sox are currently in 10th place in the AL at the 35% mark of the season and wouldn’t make the playoffs at the moment. It’s officially time to stop fucking around and being swept at home and going to two games under .500, regardless of no fans, would simply be a kick to the dick. On the mound today, we have a man named after one of the great American cities vs. some dude named after not just one but two of the lamest states in the entire US. Our boy Dallas has been as good as advertised this year, keeping the ball on the ground and working towards a 3.04 ERA and 3.48 FIP. Meanwhile, this Dakota character has only made one start and gave up 4 runs in 4.1 innings including a couple of blasts. This was also 21 days ago, so dude should be rusty but then again this is the White Sox he’s facing. Dakota is very much a sinker-slider type pitcher and I could see that poising challenges for our RH hitters. We desperately need a plan at the plate today and that is to not chase his slider down & away. It’s without question his put away pitch and our hitters need to expect it when Dakota gets a favorable count. As for the lineup today, if it were me managing I’d finally give Abreu’s ground-ball inducing ass a day-off (he has literally started every game) and go with some combo of Collins & Encarnacion at 1B & DH. I know I’m in the minority, but this is a perfect spot for my boy Collins and I hope Ricky finally realizes he does have a LH power bat on his roster not named Mazara and that it’s ok to use him in certain matchups. Regardless, let’s get a fucking win today and welcome those Tigers on a high note! Let’s fucking go!!

Loyalty might not be the full equation, but I doubt Stone would say something unless he knows the organization is on his side or he’s tired of Jason’s jokes

Only popular when there is complaining to do. Wait until a pitcher gives up runs. They'll be back. It's just like student evaluation of instruction for our courses. The only ones who complete them are the ones who want to complain.

Jose owes it to him after undermining his authority

why?

DFA Eloy, sign Delmon Young

Such a disappointment.

What I mean is that pitchers that rely on contact in the playoffs are hit or miss. They either pitch gems or get lit up like a Christmas tree. There is no in between. Pitchers that miss bats are more steady in the playoffs.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

I wonder if you recognize the irony in comparing a 23 year old Eloy to JDM.

Dude stop. Seriously

How about Sleepy Jose?

Because maybe he’s also sick of the status quo that has killed this franchise

Wow, I have a lot of respect for Stone after that comment.

That's too suggestive of a headline there...ambiguous, he's definitely not going to officially throw him under the bus, it's more Stone being snarky but not committing to putting himself in a position he can't easily joke his way out of if KW or Hahn was to ask him what the hell he was thinking???

Stone Pony dishing out some heat before the game today??

Drake La Roche?

Just wanted to point this out, but here are our hitters’ average launch angles this year vs. last year with their ground-ball rates in parentheses: Jimenez: 3.1 / -6.2 (54.7% / +6.8) Anderson: 7.4 / -1.3 (52.9% / +4.3%) Abreu: 7.8 / -3.1 (55.6% / +9.3%) Grandal: 8.9 / -4.4 (41.7% / +2.6%) Robert: 9.4 / NA (42.0% / NA) Moncada: 16.8 / +4.5 (36.5% / -5.8%) Encarnacion: 22.3 / -4.9 (42.3% / +11.5%) Mazara: 20.5 / +10.1 (26.7% / -20.1%) MLB Avg: 11.9 Some of our guys are actually hitting balls pretty hard this year, but their launch angles have decreased quite a bit YoY and that has resulted in a lot more ground-balls. Eloy & Jose are real problems as they are guys with serious power who you’d like to see lofting the ball much more. I’m not sure if this is from a lack of awareness of how launch angle works, a lack of game-planning against certain types of pitchers & pitches, or just a sample size issue (I’m sure this is part of it), but our offense will continue to have problems if what should be a power-oriented offense keeps hitting this many ground-balls.

Ok I reserve the right to change my mind about the red arrow on the mound !

I had to log back on just to say that that was one of the funnest, most incredible things I've ever seen a baseball team do, fire RR, k bye

Someone missed a sign.

Stone: " A team never looks more alive than when they are moving baserunners" STONY THROWIN THAT SHADE ALL DAY WATCH OUT RICKY

Keuchel completely shut down the Twins. Are you still arguing that Kyle Hendricks is bad and has been getting lucky for 6 years? ?

Fixed.

He recognizes nothing. Shortly he'll post a reply, realize it's shortcomings, edit it and then later apologize for comparing a guy 140 games into his career to a great DH... a day after comparing him to Delmon Young... and shockingly retracting that statement just a few minutes after

Given his defense an 820 OPS is at best 2 WAR. At that point he's Avi. That's not what we signed up for.

Eloy is young, you shouldn’t be disappointed. Not everyone comes on the scene immediately and yet once again I do not think he’s even played a full season of games yet.

You know when someone tries too hard to be funny and flops?

Having a cheap ass mortgage company paint a red down arrow all over the park is just so White Sox.

Only a low IQ would lead anybody to call Eloy Jimenez a “bust” at this point in his career. SMH

first stolen base ATTEMPT from someone not named Robert, that is insane and should have Renteria out the door by itself.

123 1st for Keuchel. Can the offense muster any quality effort today?

What the hell? He isn't making a move for a front office spot. He's making a move for the front office to fire the dipshit leading the team so he can finally call meaningful games

LOVE this from Stoney.

Good ol SSS being misused.

Caulfield wants us to trade Benyamin Bailey, Norge Vera, Elijah Tatis, DJ Gladney, Logan Glass, or Bryan Ramos for Will Myers while the Padres eat half of his contract so he can then post about it for the next decade.

Or as us less refined working class people would say. Same shit, different day.

I will be absolutely floored if Reinsdorf adds one penny to payroll this season.

You don't think David Ortiz ever did that? Abreu isn't the problem.
