I really wish we had an even halfways decent crew that reported on the Sox, because someone needs to find out what Oscar Colas did to be flushed down Grifol's proverbial toilet.

ILoy, Moncada and Robert wanted to play 150 games. I initially thought that was each.

I'm not sure that logo is family friendly enough for this website, but ok.....

I mean The Score is just basically The View for dudes. They take wacky and outrageous takes to get people riled up and engaged. Talking calm sense doesn't get attention. Whailing at the top of your lungs does. Look at modern politics even.

Hopefully right onto DFA avenue.

You can look at our roster and know that isn't it.

Teams also usually don't have a trio of stars who can't even run to first base on a regular basis without pulling something.

Why not? Nastrini has a very respectable ERA of 5.83 for Charlotte in six starts.

Kids: Be a yes man.

I'd say that Getz is the embodiment of the Peter Principle, but he sucked as a player, sucked as a director of player development and did nothing noteworthy as an Assistant GM. He just basically got jobs due to ~vibes~

Nastrini was already getting torched in the minors. He had a near 6 ERA in AAA and our great GM Chris Nepotism Getz thought he was ready for the bigs.

15-35 but at least everyone likes each other. South Side, staaaaaand up!

Looks like the day off really did Beni a lot of good. Ass clown.

13.03 ERA If the goal is to totally destroy his confidence...well, just keep running him out there until his ERA reaches 20.

Colas is only player ass ? Grifol has ever held accountable. Yet clubhouse in shambles with every veteran, entire Grifol tenure.

I like to make bold calls so I'll say I'd rather have crochet next 4 years than Cease. Even including the big innings edge cease will have this year.

I'd offer Garrett 3 years 55 million with a club option for a 4th at 25 million right now. He gets security and Sox get an asset with surplus value if he stays healthy. If he doesn't, well it's only 3 year 55 million and the buyout. Kopech just sell high at the deadline or sooner. No reason to play with fire there.

The Sox currently have -2.7 fWAR as a team. Nobody else is in the red, not even the Marlins. We're worst by 3 fWAR. Yikes.

Sure, but we have absolute trash people on this roster now, as well as in the recent past. What is this horrific line that can't be crossed with the White Sox? If it is really just a huge ego, what a bizarre reason to not play someone when you compare who else has received paychecks from this franchise, especially when we are blowing through players like flotsam in an effort to win an extra game or two... but won't do it for Colas.

146 plate appearances, .669 OPS, and 2 injuries already this season. So what exactly is Eloy good at, considering he can’t play defense?

A 4-20 April would be an improvement.

Except Colas. f*** that guy.

Perhaps a tad high, but reasonable. Do it!

A good org identifies as early as possible. Of guys with a k% > 32, who have thrown 50 or more innings as a starter since 2019, only two have had a bb% as low as Garrett (Scherzer and Degrom) and he's 7th in K-BB rate for anyone with > 50IP as a starter since 2015. Crochet is special. If he stays healthy he's in a 1-1 conversation. Health is a risk, but the tools are there.

Hopefully the unemployment line is around that corner.

I predict the double Zach attack at the bottom of the lineup are going to have a big night....at least 1 hit between them.

I think Moldy-nada is about to turn a corner.

How long before the Sox sign Ramon Laureano?

It's like Ozzie said on a postgame show earlier this season, these guys work out in the off season to look good not to be baseball ready.

Yep. TLR might have been a washed up drunk, but the dude had been around professional ballplayers for decades. He knew that he had a bunch of prima donnas and china dolls on the roster and tried to delay the inevitable injuries for as long as possible.

Jay Williams has entered the chat.

That may be a reflection of his attitude but the social media post was from 2022. Colas has had a lot of opportunities since then to stay up. I think it has more to do with his inability to layoff shitty pitches.

Even if he's a complete dope and they hate him and don't want him near the team, just keeping him on the roster and refusing to use him is a strange choice. You'd think the options would be 1. play him 2. trade him 3. drop him.

The time he said that a fly ball pitcher (on the White Sox) at Guaranteed Rate Field is a good thing still haunts me.

Why is it on him to reward bad behavior with an appearance? I don't get that part at all.

Hey, TLR tried. He said not to run hard. Maybe he was on to something with these guys made of glass.

Good, because I hope Clevinger is hit in the head with multiple come-backer line balls by the Orioles, and retires to eat oil leaks in the ocean.

There's a chance Clevinger is pushed back to open the Orioles series and Nastrini starts tomorrow.

Then you know how you end that? Respond. When he made the haters comment, the day after it happened, both radio stations, one of which is the flagship home of the Sox, reached out to have him on air. He declined. I can’t speak to The Score, but I know for a fact Waddle and Silvy wouldn’t have “attacked him” or made it a difficult situation, they would have asked him what he meant by calling out “the haters” and who it was directed towards. Again, he could have EASILY made a joke out of it, been a little self-deprecating, and it’s totally over. But he said “No, don’t need to explain myself, letting that comment speak for itself.” Ok, so now you’re leaving it up for people to come to their own conclusions, which we know is a wonderful idea in this day and age. Then, as the cherry on top, he doubled down and calls them “radio losers” weeks later, both stations once again reached out, and once again both were declined. Sorry, but Schiffren isn’t the victim here. This isn’t Kansas City or Milwaukee. This is a large media market with a lot of eyes on you. As I said before, he made the decision to poke the bear once again with the radio losers call. And if he doesn’t want to provide any clarity to the situation, he wants to somehow keep this beef going, the “radio losers” in this town are simply holding up their side of the bargain. There were multiple times and ways for him to end this stupid and petty “feud” with the sports radio stations in town. He decided he didn’t want to do that. Again…that’s on him.

The last three wins have been shut-outs. Crochet's got a bit of a scoreless innings streak going.

Mr. Glass brought balance to his world. Where there are super heroes, there have to be villains. Just like in the MLB, where there are iron men players that always stay healthy, you need an Eloy who always gets hurt to bring balance.

At age 29 I had to take a sick day because I slept weird and couldn't turn my head without extreme pain. Bodies can be stupid.

Bold of you to assume we don't wait 3 or 4 days before ILing him.

Imagine what this guy is going to be like in his 40s and 50s. He's going to get injured getting out of bed, or brushing his teeth. What a fucking China doll. Go the f*** away. You're not an athlete.

Only 4 more months we need to worry about Eloy. Biggest bust of the rebuild imo. Sad, really.

Thank god for Rick Hahn. Who would have guessed that his graveyard hour trades for Lee and Quero, Nastrini et al would be the last decent talent we’d see enter the org for the foreseeable future. All hail haber and his computer, much preferable to org chart Getz

Get used to the new reality my friend.
