I will be there. My four month olds first Sox game. Hope we bring home a W!

Bryan Shaw pitching to Carlos Perez with Grandal at 1B, Andrus at 2B and Remillard in RF for a team that hasn’t traded anyone or fired anyone yet

Please give us more Gavin Sheets.

I'm ready to be watching Sosa play every day in Chicago. It's time.

Entirely predictable. He had sucked for years but the Sox gave him a contract based on one good month.

I think this is dumb. There are too many examples of the Sox failing to use their resources than to spend time in Diekman. You know who was bad before he got to the Sox? Jake Diekman. On the Red Sox! welcome to middle relievers. They are great and horrible. Especially in their 30s. That’s why you don’t take on future salary for zero reason on one. Again - what is reason for success on Touki and Santos and Middleton? We must be geniuses.

Lest anyone has any delusions about this series, White Sox sit 9 games back of a team struggling to stay above .500. I would suggest they try not to get swept, but I don’t thing they have any semblance of pride left. Heads should roll. But sadly we know better.

Sox instructed Diekman to use all 4 of his pitches which resulted in a 6.52 era in 26 games for the Sox. Tampa gets him and tells him to only throw his 4-seamer and breaker and that resulted in a 2.21 ERA in 25 games, and he hasn't allowed a run in 19 of his last 20 appearances.

Guys…guys…someone we can convert into middle relief to help our 2024 bullpen is the obvious answer.

"Oh yeah, he will go deep in the game for you...save your bullpen. What do you mean, you're looking to win those games?"

Absolutely no reason for Andrus to be on this roster. God I hate Hahn so much.

Let's all remember the White Sox slotted their rotation after the All Star Break targeting this series. Lance Lynn was their choice to open the weekend. Twins 5 White Sox 1 f*** you Rick Hahn you stupid f***.

Other than 2005, one of my favorite seasons.

Enjoy! Doom and gloom, pessimism, etc., aside, there’s not much better than taking a kid to their first ballgame.

Is that what the captain of the Titanic said? "Don't worry...it's just a SMALL iceberg!"

I think this speaks volumes about the Sox player development. While Diekman at this point in his career shouldn't need development sometimes wise advise is all it takes. Obviously Tampa knows how to teach new players and simplify things for struggling players they acquire. The sox did Andrew Vaughn no favors by bringing him up to learn a new position in the outfield. He has not taken the next step mainly IMO because the Sox f***ed around with him so much he didn't have time to develop.

For some odd reason the White Sox like their relievers to use all their pitches. This has killed Joe Kelly and probably Bummer. Relievers are mostly not starters because they have 1 great pitch and a decent show me pitch. They are inept.

They are 16 games under .500. .500 the rest of the way gets them to 73-89. The Miami series ended the season for diehards.....April for reality. Go back to last playoff series and believing nothing needed to be done and that's when it all was over. The kumbskulls running this organization are beyond stupid. I just check in now as I'm still a fan and hope they win as it's my favorite hobby. F' Rick Hahn

Trust me, I will be the happiest Sox camper if Jerry wakes up and quits playing his routine stubborn dumb loyalty BS and fires Hahn and the rest of his loser front office. Yes, nothing is impossible...except

With all due respect, there is absolutely no comparison of Eloy's batting to the Big Hurt. Even if Eloy played healthy all the time as Frank did, there would still be no comparison. During Frank's best years in a Sox uniform, which were many, he put up numbers equal to Ted Williams. Btw, Eloy does not have a great batting eye like Frank had.

Ideal season: All the trade pieces boost value, get sold off. Farm system strengthens. Newly acquired pieces and young guys perform better cause better vibes. Team surges to checks notes second place in this awful division Win the draft lottery Re-sign Gio in offseason cause new GM is cool and hip What will happen: None of that, except the farm system getting marginally better

I'll say this for the Rockies: They fired their GM.

Well, here goes nothin

July 21, 1997 – Enroute to a 3-0 win over the Tigers, Wilson Alvarez became the first Sox pitcher to ever strike out four hitters in a single inning. It happened in the seventh inning at Tiger Stadium. Alvarez struck out Tony Clark, Phil Nevin struck out but reached first base on a wild pitch, Melvin Nieves struck out and Alvarez finished the inning striking out Orlando Miller. Alvarez would strike out nine Tigers in a little over seven innings pitched. July 21, 2019 – It was a controversial decision in the minds of some, including national members of the media but long time White Sox outfielder/DH Harold Baines was voted into the Hall of Fame via the Veterans Committee. Baines was the overall number one pick in the 1977 draft by the White Sox and had made his way to the Major Leagues by 1980. He spent over 12 years with the franchise starting in right field before a knee injury moved him permanently to the DH role. He was a key member of the 1983 “Winnin’ Ugly” White Sox who won the Western Division with 99 victories and represented the organization in four All-Star Games. He is among the all-time franchise leaders in games played, at bats, home runs, walks, runs scored, RBI’s, hits, extra base hits, total bases, doubles and 20+ home run seasons.

Dear White Sox. No more fat pitchers. Especially fat pitchers over the age of 30. It doesn't work out well for the sox.

2021 Keuchel, James Shields, Derek Holland, Dylan Axelrod, & Mike Pelfrey come to mind

Jaime Navarro can rot in hell.

I’ll bite… who is saying that…? And prefer you whiff as opposed to what other outcome?

Sox won't get their next base runner until the 8th.

Efficient.

Such a dumb rule

Can't wait to get the best RH 1B/DH Sr prospect with a possible top 5 pick.

One of the all time greats for classic jazz vocals.

I was fortunate enough to meet Tony Bennett on a couple of jobs I have worked on. He was among the kindest, classiest human beings I have ever encountered and an amazing talent. RIP.

That's really the point of the thread. The Ray's and most teams for that matter, are > the White Sox at player development and coaching.

RIP Tony Bennett.

Yeah, hopefully 20 times in a row!

Hopefully, I do

I'll be wearing my A.L. Central Champions 2000 cap so I can pretty much guarantee a sweep....not sure of who though.

Lynn needs to deliver tonight. Hopefully five perfect innings and then some goodbye hugs as he’s traded for a haul mid game.

A three game sweep ? starts with game one. Let’s strive mightily to win. Never give up

Law updated his Top 60 ranking and Montgomery is now 21st overall.

Joe Kelly came to the Sox injured and has remained injured. That is the problem. Not his pitches used

I believe where they are at is what is the proper diagnosis. If Tommy John surgery is required, he is out until 2025 at this point with the typical 15 month recovery time.

Never say never.

We can only hope right?

I don't know, and honestly don't care anymore. Ive accepted it and it is what it is with this team. Ill just watch and hope for the best.

Eloy is the type of bat we have not seen since Big Frank. He has a great eye at the plate and immense power to all fields.

No longer an issue. He's not pitching this weekend.
