Cool, have fun with that. No one is claiming he’s figured it out, just willing to entertain the idea that he’s made some strides. Somehow this concept is difficult to grasp. Also, those posters will still be here if Vargas has a sub .600 OPS in a few months because not everyone is as obsessed with appearing smart in front of strangers on the internet.

Quero and Meidroth are ballplayers

Love you all go white sox

Rowand living my dream of walking into the booth drunk and talking about a random Timo Perez play.

We already have a game thread. And there's a "That's a Sox winner" thread from yesterday that's four pages. Just examples of how we just WANT and enjoy some wins. We want to be excited; we want to be proud of the team that we have followed for years and years. Dammit, just give us something, SOMETHING; not the worst team in the history of MLB. What was that emotion I felt when Vargas hit that home run yesterday . . . . . Joy!! Actual joy! I just want to feel that more often. Can't this organization just give us that a little more often? Just a little something (hope?) to get us to 2027 and beyond?

We somehow have a better run differential than the 18-14 Guardians

The haters are in shambles.

He can sign with the Sox when he's a free agent when Ishbia's are the owners .🤣

A HR for career hit #500 is pretty cool

Just assume that I'm constantly creaming in my pants. All day, every day.

Quero has made me feel so much better about this rebuild. What a stud.

Congratulations for the worst take and post in the history of this site.

No. One or the other. Greatness or total failure. There is no in between. It's the Soxtalk way.

Who's making predictions? The Sox acquired a player making changes to produce. The defense looks real. The whole point of being a fan is to hope for production from players. If you are sure nobody here will be hall-of-famers who will make you feel better about yourself, why are you here mocking the people who are actually watching the games and assessing the players coming through the system?

Rojas can play outfield and would be a preferable option to someone like Palacios imo. If it were up to me, I'd dump Vaugn, Palacios and Dalbec in favor of Elko, Fletcher and Rojas. They could DH Benintendi and have Rojas in left and Fletcher in right against righties

That's a winning streak. It has been done before. Well pitched and well hit game. Some small stuff to clean up on the way to 95 wins no doubt.

One of my favorite things about Quero at the plate is that he knows what the situation calls for. He has an excellent eye, will take the walk, but the other night when they needed a run, he expanded the zone on 3-1 to try to bring the run in. Didn't work, but it was absolutely the right approach. Very smart at the plate.

5 for 11 with RISP. You do that every game, you're gonna win a lot.

5-11 with RISP usually will get the job done. Break up the Sox...two in a row!

I don't remember enjoying a single game last year. At least this team is entertaining at times

Great team game Contributions from up and down the lineup and the pitching staff. Quero my goodness you're almost as hot as Elko !

Dare I say winning streak ?

We kinda have an interesting mix of talent and stupid.

The last time we had a good bunt followed by a good 3-0 green light to get a much needed insurance run in the bottom of the 8th my balls had not yet dropped.

3-0 against amaya? give him the purple light

It's insane how patient our rooks are in comparison to our veterans who just think looking at strikes counts and pulling outside pitches counts.

I'd trade your arguments that belong in another thread for a White Sox win.

Uniforms always look better when you’re winning.

They did another defense

Team is fun right now that’s all you can ask.

They did a defense!

Cannon is money. Great performance so far. Time for some run support!

Which I don’t even recall happening

Ugh. Getz sounds like he's making it up as he goes along.

Yup. They look much better out there on the field. I also think they look much better on the taller and more well proportioned players. Sorry Meidroth. Probably has something to do with the tops and buttons being different colors. All of the new hats are fantastic though.

Maybe Tim would rather stay with a more talented roster of teammates

In no universe should you drop the cost controlled 25-year-old for 3 injured guys over 30 that are on 1-year deals.

Not when scrooge McDuck is your owner

I'd say that's a pipe dream based on current evidence. The only way to find out if Elko can do the job is bring him up and given him plenty of at bats. The attitude of some here and Getz is they want him to fail, You still can't divorce stupid from this organization.

Tim Elko was picked in the 10th round of the 2022 draft. His bonus was $35k. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Tim Elko knows what he is and isn't becoming "alienated" by waiting for Vaughn to fail out, get injured or be traded.

Damn, the White Sox made this fanbase so miserable that a Sox winner thread turns into hate, insults, and sarcasm. Thoughts on the game, however: This is the version of Robert we need to see on a regular basis. Burke looked good after the shaky first inning (saved by Robert). Meidroth is back and already hitting. Baldwin is looking better every day. Vargas has looked much better since the adjustment to his swing. Obviously this doesn't mean he's fixed, and only time will tell, but there's a (dim) glimmer of hope for him.

This damn stupid trade, not really even trying to sign Harper, and trading Tatis are the top 3 most infuriating White Sox moves in the last 20 years.

Am I the only one that wants to see what Vargas' dog looks like?

To seek the Holy Grail!

Need more of this version of Robert.

Not half as funny as defending human trash as a quest.

Clevenger is the ultimate "DEI" hire. He sucks, and keeps getting signed because of his connections. He's taking the opportunity away from another player who has truly earned his spot.
