Guess what day it is

We needed to head any caulfielding of the thread off at the pass, get it up, get it going.

If you ARE going to have games in the midwest in March/April, none of them should be night games until at least like April 15th or so.

This is a pretty good one - just plausible enough to be realistic, and not a HUGE trade to instantly make people suspicious.

man, these long plate appearances are nice to see

Will be nice to see him instead of Jank

Is 97 not upper 90s?

Let's continue making the Twinkies suck it.

You think a fanbase coming off the worst season of all time is full of "hot takes"? Ok bro.

what the f*** ,dumb I fall for this s%*# literally every year

Makes it even worse that Brian Bannister commented to his tweet about what a great job he's doing. Schriffin is an underqualified idiot. He doesn't deserve to be a MLB broadcaster.

"hi, I'm ignorant of my betters in the industry". That's basically what he just admitted. Dumb f***. You can get away with that s%*# if you're Stone, who whatever he thinks of modern coverage and analytics, is a keystone of the game and a helluva player in his day. Who the f*** is Schriffen? A fucking nobody pulled out of hoops G league games to call the White Sox, that's who.

This game is exactly why it’s tough to win less than 50 games. Baseball is weird. Twins didn’t have any business winning this game, but they got pretty lucky. Sox will have games where the luck is on their side.

Janikowski is comically bad. Tauchman will replace him soon at least.

Ump has absolutely fucked the Sox tonight

Vargas has a little “sucks ass” in his swing, honestly.

It's stupid early and the offense is largely going to be brutal, but man this team seems night and day different from last season.

Big time

These ab's are night and day from last season.

Brooks is just so fucking good

Just a matter of time until WhiteSox2023 jumps on the Sheets bandwagon and lambastes the Sox endlessly for letting go of such an elite talent.

I think he has an advanced chinese GPT bot network to cover for when he does.

Wow, couldn't even wait for a lineup?

Sorry guys, felt I had to do it and opening up a spot for Teel felt just right enough.

There's no hype train. If they lose tonight this place will go back to being an embarrassing hellscape of hot takes. Fire everyone! DFA everyone! Move the team to Nashville! Reinsdorf has to die! AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

It can't be stressed enough just how awful Grifol was. Truly one of the worst managers in MLB history.

Vaughn chasing a slider to end the inning…I pray I never have to utter those words again after this season

do we really need to have the camera on stone and schiff the whole half inning?

Well that ball is def gone in June.

This rotation looks pretty damn good. Not just smoke and mirrors.

Should have traded him and brought up Teel

This team can beat you multiple ways. MERCY

Maybe we should have hit Benintendi in the hand during spring trading last year too

Well, luckily for the Brewers they gave up something they obviously didn't need! Now let me take a sip of water and see how their pitching staff has been doing.

"Getz sucks...blah blah blah...Getz sucks blah blah blah"- "WhiteSox2023"

It’s already established that hardly anybody likes either of these guys - so why don’t we knock it off with all of the s%*# talking. I started this thread to keep up with their respective performances throughout the year because Getz had a choice to make. We’ll find out if he made the right or wrong choice between the two options… And yes, I know some would have preferred that we cut ties with both of them and one day we’ll have new blood at first. Bottom line, if all you’re going to “contribute” to this thread is pissing all over these guys - take your s%*# somewhere else and f*** right on off.

I mean I assume he sleeps at some point....right?

It's the best April Fools post of all

Dumbest day of year. s%*# jumped the shark in the 90s.

Both scarcity of impact players and constraint on roster spots.

Didn't get me, but for sure the most believable with Lee not catching for a few days and whatnot.

Bamboozled

WAR values don't scale normally. 1 war isn't worth 10 million but 5 war is worth 50 million due to scarcity of players at that level.

It would actually be difficult to be as bad as they were last season. You would have to try pretty hard to be to accomplish that feat. Not sure where the hype train is going

If you’re out on that limb, that’s fine, I would not tell you any differently in a significant way. But before you count your money sitting at the table, it’s March pitching, against the Twins and Angels. And it’s a pretty decent bet guys like Robert aren’t going to finish the year as Sox. And the talent just is what it is.

Good for him. He cashed in at the right time.
