They got any of those James Shields?

Schriffen on Pham: He won't take that Tommy Pham: Takes that

Kudos to that minor league director for having these kids ready to play.

There isn't enough that is going to be here in the next two years that it will even matter.

It's true, he has gotten 13 hits in 84 chances this year for a robust .184 average.

So Tommy Pham hurt himself making an illegal play into home plate which he then got mad about at the other player. I can see why we absolutely had to get him around these kids to help them learn.

Lol. I'm sure all the posters that flipped out for 2 months when they got rid of him will calmly admit they didn't know the full story and that they overreacted.

You should drink less.

Pham is hurt. He sprained his vagina sliding into home.

Based on his name, he was a pitcher in the 1960s that we have given a time machine to.

Let’s gooooo Let’s see what happens when the cubs face the red hot white Sox

I hope Pedro gets fired and never gets a job in baseball again. His bullpen management tonight was truly pathetic.

Well that was short-lived.

I have zero faith in anyone Chris Getz would try to acquire. Just hoping he stays on the roster until Getz is removed from his position as well

I mean, he inherited a very bad team and somehow made it historically bad. Even his army of fanboys should be nervous at this point and yet here they are telling us Julks is a starting caliber RF and we’ll be back to .500 in no time.

Quero 3-4 tonight with a HR and a bb. Just saying.

Went into pizza shop, scoreless game. Went to car with za, Len says bottom of the 4th and the Sox have spotted Flexen a 5 run lead. I pulled over ?

Stone said in the pregame that Robert coming back could spark an offensive resurgence

"The previous homeowner ruined the foundation." "This doesn't explain why you placed dynamite in the basement."

Bro we're on pace to have the WORST TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF 162 GAME SEASONS! I mean, it's like saying well at least the carpet is intact after a tornado just blew all your walls and roof off.

I don't think anyone knows yet. He has been in the job for less than a year and spent the first part of his tenure just cleaning the roster out. He acquired placeholders in a lost season when he obviously needed to shed some salary and everyone knew they were just waiting for Moncada, Eloy, etc. to come off the books Guys like Dejong, Lopez, Maldanado, Pham, Julks, Mendick... Dejong has been fine for what he is. Pham looks fine. Lopez is what Lopez is. This group doesn't tell me anything about his ability to acquire position players. What position prospects has he acquired? Fletcher and DeLoach? Jury is still out on Fletcher. DeLoach was one of 3 pieces in a trade for an injured bullpen arm. Don't think anyone ever had high hopes for him. I think its reasonable to give the guy this offseason to see what he does and who he picks up.

I mean, if they trade Crochet 1) Gonna need Salas back 2) Might as well trade Robert, because nothing is happening for years. 3) There was no point whatsoever to hire Chris Getz, but we knew that.

I would read up on the rules altered a few years back if I were you.

Great post here rational fact man.

Why the hell would I give the Sox the benefit of the doubt here? There's literally no evidence we have as fans to assume the investigation was the primary factor in releasing him, especially given how HE WENT TO ANOTHER TEAM. You think the MLB and the Sox knew but the Phillies weren't in on the joke? C Come on.

The theme of the 2024 White Sox

Sounds like Getz and team ended up with the correct pitchers from San Diego. (As of current time at least.) Law on 5 falling prospects. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5538195/2024/06/04/mlb-prospect-ranking-falling-prospects/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mlbtw&source=mlbtw

You think the Sox traded him because they knew of the gambling issue?

This has come up in multiple threads, so I'm gonna make a guide 1. Get your link, example: https://x.com/JRFegan/status/1797644454746304644 2. Remove the x.com URL and replace with twitter.com, resulting in: https://twitter.com/JRFegan/status/1797644454746304644 3. Copy the new URL, paste it and hit enter. You'll know you did it correctly because the post will say "posting as rich text," resulting in this. 4. If it's still not working, check these: a. You may have only edited the URL text, but the hyperlink might still be x.com - make sure the URL itself is twitter.com. b. You did not hit enter. 5. Alternative method: a. Tap the three dots in the top right corner of the tweet b. Select embed post c. Select the display option you want (video or post) d. Copy the embed code. e. On SoxTalk, click the "Source" logo in the posting draft. It is in the top right corner next to the bold symbol. f. Post the embed code. It might look funky in the draft, but should load when you post.

The Sox spending smart in free agency AND being able to cover positions that they spent a decade fucking up at AND getting high end performance out of key prospects is exactly why the Sox being good soon is an unpopular opinion.

Even better shot. Dude has an open path to home plate, and goes out of his way to hit the catcher. And the rule is https://www.mlb.com/glossary/rules/collisions-at-home-plate

I don't see how Crochet makes sense for a team at the deadline. I mean, more power to them, but he's at 70 IP for the year. He threw 13 innings in 2023 and zero in 2022. I would think going over 115/120 IP for 2024 seems like you're getting into dangerous territory. Seems like it would make much more sense to acquire him in the offseason, but if someone wants to go all-in on him, cool.

Schriffen probably thinks this team just bolstered itself for a playoff run.. Southside, staaaaaaaaaaaaaad up.

Tommy Pham hurt himself going after Contreras. You just have to laugh at the level of stupid on this team.

I think there are only like 5 teams who can make this trade.

You're suggesting that it is crazy for teams to have offseason workout regimes for their players?

So in theory is there anyone out there who can put a fanduel account on Jerry's phone, and hypothetically fill it with bets against the White Sox, asking for a few million friends?

Robert is apparently ready. He was hitting a sizzling .100 with 2 hits in 20 at bats in Charlotte.

Minor leaguers playing well, yes.

They need a strong run out of Robert up to the trade deadline. It starts tonight!

34 SBs is nuts. It looks like he has 31 hits and 13 walks. So he's been on base 44 times and stole 34 bases. That's fun.

I mean, that would be the Sox semi-participating in a cover up, so I sure hope not. Edit: Or they had they to be extra tight lipped and the Phillies decided to chance it, but the Sox accepting cash for him knowing he'd be suspended for gambling looks real bad on the surface.

If everyone in the system becomes their 99% outcome, the Sox would be great. Unfortunately that never happens. If two of them hit that would be lucky.

What makes this funnier is that Pham supposedly told Schriffen to “calm the f*** down” when he was in the locker room with the players.
