Sox and KC now tied at 5-8, both ahead of Detroit at 4-9. Road record is 2-5 for the season. Sox for the second time this year end a skid at 3. By this time last year, they had already had an 8 game loss streak (they had a 4L and 5L at this point in 2024). Win #5 comes on April 9th this year (April 20th in 2025, April 27th in 2024). The date to beat for #6 is April 24th. Team ERA over the last 7 games is 2.25 (18 total runs allowed). Second shutout in that stretch. Probably should get more than a 4-3 record out of that if they could start hitting some HRs again.

The Royals aren’t doing so well but Kay must’ve put up the best start of the season thus far.

Mets: Did you ever consider not swinging at pitches out of the zone? Luis Robert: YOU CAN DO THAT?!?!?

Not too bad, that's a relief.

Getz's biggest accomplishments.... Going on Podcasts with people like McGuffy & Kap and others and gloating about his process for the organization and then losing 119 games and 100 games. 👏👏

Doubtful. There would be arguments about Harper's hair (is it perfectly quaffed under that helmet?) that leak to Harper, and his performance plummets as he focuses only on his hair. Wheeler would pitch well, but his wife leaves him to move to the east coast. Soxtalk implodes when Wheeler has one bad outing. He quits baseball, and inexplicably sends a shoutout to Drake LaRoche on his way out the door.

Write a glowing article about yourself and then bring it up during arbitration ...ingenius.

As far as your opinion that the outfield is solid, especially Acuna, I have to disagree. Benintendi lacks speed and arm strength. Acuna has been awkward in CF with late jumps and weak throws. With Hays now gone for weeks or maybe months, RF is open to a number of outfielders but none have plus arms or can hit, especially with power. IMO the current outfield is a disaster. Everyone has an opinion on how it might be improved. If I was Getz or Venable I would replace Acuna with Periera or Tristan Peters in CF and Derek Hill in RF at least until Braden improves his contact rate, which might be never. Not sure yet if Antonacci can play LF so I agree with you that there is no place to put him right now. Stuck in the muck losing games like it is 2025. Fangoul.

Anthony Kay vs The Quarterican (Seth Lugo) Maybe I can start another streak....

f*** yea, love that s%*#. kay looked good tonight talk ur s%*#.

Kay a little feisty lol No reason for Cags to think it was intentional though.

Exactly. For women that want a custom wedding ring with legitimate diamond quality documentation. Those are the one off jewelry stores with family names, not the CostCo’s of jewelry like Kay and Jared.

Martin last start, Burke following Taylor, Fedde following Taylor

Bobby you are like 10 beers ahead of me slow down for a bit. i gotta catch up so i can understand your posts

Dr said he needed to quit or he'd never make it to 150.

Mmmm sacrelicious

I lived thru past White Sox ownerships that were going broke {John Allyn and Bill Veeck) but this is a much different situation with JR. He's not broke and he's a multi billionaire. How much more money does he need? Most people couldn't spend what he's worth. This has to be one of the most shameful things in Chicago Sports history.

The Sox could have hired one of the best GM candidates or a schlub from the street, and the overall results would be the same. There is almost no money afforded a GM to do anything meaningful. From what we've read, JR had to be convinced signing Mune was a good idea, and they signed him for a bargain. Granted, an experienced GM would have done better with some trades, but the Sox just didn't have much to offer aside from Cease and Crochet. The Cease deal was really bad, but the Crochet deal looks better, with the true value still to be seen. No one really liked the Vargas deal when it happened, but he's turning into a solid piece. Regardless, I would be beyond surprised if Getz has a job once Ishbia takes over.

I've said it before and i will say it again, the major objective of this management team is to have a low payroll. A low payroll is more important than winning games.

hopefully Ishbia will be sitting in the front row with a sell the team sign

Didn't see this posted yet, but Schweitzer back to Charlotte after today's game.

Sox are doing the "smart" thing and holding back their better players until they grab the extra year/delay arbitration. I mean, on merit, you'd bring up Schultz and Antonacci right now. But the Sox would never do that cuz money. So we get Harris and Davitt. Then magically around April 18th, Schultz will have matured enough to be ready for the bigs. It is so tough even casually rooting for a team that does not give a single crap about winning. That's why Getz wouldn't talk about W-L in the offseason. He knew they'd be sandbagging at least the first month of the season, if not more. I hope the labor unrest ends this stuff because it is depressing.

Since we're making Mr. Burns posts here. Monty himself has your answer:

And the White Sox are 28th with 63 ER allowed. That's also why people say it is horrible. Because it is.

With Hays gone, the remaining outfielders have combined for -.2 WAR so far. Thats why people say its horrible.

This is nonsense. There are multiple front offices throughout baseball succeeding on very small budgets.

That unprecedented financial flexibility led to unprecedented piles of crap. I do often wonder if there is an alternate universe where they did sign Harper and Wheeler does come here and is Soxtalk happier in that universe?

Getz traded Cease and Robert Jr and received nothing in return. Those 2 trades would get most GMs fired.

Fun fact: Davitt also moonlights for his hometown local paper: https://www.indianola-ia.com/opinion/staff-favorite-duncan-davitt-belief-bordering-on-delusional/article_6a1e8632-77f4-40e8-aa30-3e09218a52d6.html So however his debut goes, we'll probably get to read about it.

Getz running out of viable pitchers two weeks into the season.

I know you are. I feel like you were on Liam Doyle before anyone else was.

You can ignore a user’s posts, but you can’t ignore them resurrecting threads from 8 months ago for some reason. What a world.

Since most of you don't check the Future Sox forum, Noah Schultz is dominating so far this year

But the bunting around the deck looks immaculate.

Blackout style as well, so you can’t remember anything the team did or you did while raging.

These clowns can't even rearrange deck chairs properly.

Sox seem to collect those kind of records

Drinking seems to be the best way to tolerate this team.

Getz's biggest accomplishment was convincing JR he was the person for the job.

Even I don't need this. We have a thread for it.

Couldn't this just go in the pre-existing Getz bashing thread?

Convincing people he didn’t fail terribly in his previous role

I think Vientos is a lesser Sosa. Vientos is not a good defender anywhere, really. Vargas is separating himself from that profile.
