I am here to say I almost care about the White Sox again.

Should have taken 2 of 3, and a sweep was actually possible. Team looks to be coming together, baby steps, but I like it.

You just HATE to see it.

I'm enjoying seeing Vargas have fun playing.

IDK if you guys saw it, but he had a 2nd ball he switched it with, he kept the HR and threw a dummy back.

He stepped very awkwardly finding the bag at 1st base while covering. But don’t let that stop your narrative.

Just as we all expected years ago, the top HR hitters on the White Sox are a right handed Cuban slugger and a left fielder who should be a DH!

I'm sure you do fuckface.

Yeah I have no desire to see anyone at 3b but Vargas

For now, would rather see Vargas back at 3B with Elko at 1B.

He could also be a hall of famer. Fun game we are playing currently. At the end of the day he is going to get a chance, and his career would largely be at third base more than likely.

When is the last time Sox batters had 18 walks in a 3 game set? They saw almost 200 pitches in this game. Legitimately like two swings away from a series win here, and maybe 1 more away from a sweep. Former Mets Houser and Vasil combined for 9 scoreless innings in the series. Holding Soto hitless is pretty impressive for this staff overall.

Fun bad!

Usually in One game every series they kick ass. Just a liiiiittle consistency and maybe they can be taking more series. This one was possible, they just couldn’t get the deal done in the other two games late. baltimore should be interesting. Feels like the Sox could go in there and take the series with how that team has played this season.

We had a very competitive series. Nice to see. Blew some games but we're a bad team. If we are going to be bad at least be competitive most of the time until the inevitable error or bad pitching performance late.

Nothing would be better than Benintendi getting hot just in time to be traded.

Probably hanging in the Jarred Kelenic thread .

This game has 6-5 loss written all over it!

Can we DFA Taylor and bring back Baldwin? I'd even take Julks

Vargas was a simple fix. He already had a good approach and good pitch recognition. He then gained 20 lbs of muscle because they wanted him to drive the ball more. He was still making weak contact however so they identified something in biomechanics that they thought higher hands and flatter (horizontal ) bat pre-pitch would help. Robert is more complex. He's never had a good approach or particularly good pitch recognition which is why with so much bat speed and physical talent he can look so bad.

I said weren't getting anything meaningful. I'd rather take a shot on developing some 95 mph thrower that can't hit the side of a barn over someone who has a ceiling of a banjo hitting utility guy. There's a zero chance we turn a no-hit guy into something, but there's a non-zero chance we could develop a pitcher.

Great performance all around. Enjoyable watch. Nice to see Chase keep his streak alive in the 9th.

a demoralized fan base.................that will be the constant under Reinsdorf maybe by 2030 fans will be use to flirting with .500

They did a good job, helped by a Mets team that looked ready to get this one over with. Vargas up to a 118 wRC+ and into the top 60 or so in fWAR in MLB. He's only .1 fWAR behind Ely De La Cruz. Funny game, baseball.

I was hoping for 1 win in NY so no tears, now on to Baltimore where I’d like to win at least 2. Plesac brought up how competitive the team has been, did some homework and they are 8-10 since the KC series and we could have easily won 3 games in that series. I still think they will win at least 65 games.

Too bad for Castro

Smooth like Vasil-ine

Flipped on the Brewers game. Good to see Joey Ortiz is as bad as we thought.

Mets crew is praising us. Saying we've clearly improved...to a 100 loss team. lol, baby steps.

And a Taylor RBI!

It's not that deep bro. Why don't you just enjoy young players improving regardless of which rabbi found them. But since you're so sensitive I won't tweak ya anymore.

Orioles young bats have fallen off this season while Sox hitters improve...coincidence?

Not if you ask some here at Soxtalk.....🙄

Was going to make that joke earlier with Vargas and whitesox2023

With the way he plays, can’t be chasing ball 4

Yeah, no kidding…I was pessimistic even when they weren’t the worst franchise in baseball

Taylor's defense isn't good enough that you can't replace him with one of the guys from Charlotte.

That’s a good thing, Avi had a great year

I’m shocked the Lee-Rojas-Taylor portion of the lineup does nothing

We should learn by now not to go by a small sample size.

Miguel Vargas is becoming a problem for MLB and I'm here for it. It's about time we see a legit prospect work out.

You can’t walk this many guys and expect to win.

we have a core worth giving a s%*# about last year we didn't even have that. we still suck but at least we have some guys worth rooting for.

Possible All Star rep

I'm sure it's a typo, and he meant to type "clear". The Sox have been getting their Thetan levels tested at a local Dianetics storefront and will most probably leave NYC "clear".

Mother Nature = White Sox closer in 2025

Greg this is dumb even from you. I gave basic stats. 5 hits in 31 at bats. 10 of those at bats ended in strikeouts. I didn’t cite those advance stats that confuse and frighten you.

Poor Rockies. Imagine setting the loss record and then only picking 10th in the very next draft. 😶

You needed to sign a catcher like him for this year at the start of the season. I consider it a win you got anything for him, instead of just outright releasing him once Quero was ready.
