Infinite ERA. That’s good, right?

Please post more things like this.

Not sure I follow the reasoning of "I have spotted an uncalled balk so I will run into an out"

In regards to service time, this was always going to be year 7. Might as well get on with it. Schultz will be on an innings limit. They might as well all be in Chicago. There just isn't a world where these guys weren't debuting until 2027 so I'm good with doing this as soon as they're all ready.

Exactly. @vilehoopster seems to think that a free agent can’t be signed until a player is traded away to free up money. That’s not how real organizations that aren’t a joke function.

Zavala’s swing has gotten short and quick. Also the leg kick has quieted down. Like what I’m seeing.

Only 2.5 out of the wild card. I believe.

KC could say the same thing.

Murakami needs to go to Arizona!

I’m ready for the Vargas era to end!

Yes I have, and he's been horrible. He's made a couple hard plays look easy, but blown at least 4 easy ones so far. It was the same last year - makes some hard plays, blows the easy ones. He's best at first, but can't play there now, so we're stuck with him at third.

I would've just kept Robert. Weren't getting s%*# for him but might have if started the season like he has for the Mets. Liked the Reds as a trading partner.

Stop looking at two year old scouting reports and accepting the player the other team obviously wants to dump.

Acuna still swinging that wet newspaper…

Colson is back baby

Well the Soxtalk buzzkill army got cannon hurt this time

Right? Who cares at this point. I root for both the Sox and Cubs now. Jerry lost my respect and fandom. Might as well cheer on both teams and have more fun. Go Go White Sox! Go Cubs Go!

Ballpark Giveaway Promotion??

The way the season is spiraling out of control, the Sox already have the worst record in the A.L. I guess they have nothing to lose. Personally I wouldn't do it myself and stated why in another thread a few weeks ago but it is what it is. Wish the kids well, how can they be worse than the stiffs and retreads populating the roster now.

Two words. Ol. Yeller.

This kids future is almost certainly multiple positional. That's ok.

Yep, no reason he should ever be seen in LF again. At this point let him and Sosa share DH duties with the better scenario being to release Beni with Sosa becoming the full time DH.

What a time to be alive. Top 25 here we come.

You have an argument with Teel and Hays, but Pereira and Baldwin probably aren’t starting on any other team.

It's just weird that everybody's like: "We should screw every player so we can have more control!!" "Jerry Reinsdorf's EVIL for not paying every single player the maximum of what they're worth!!"

Facts. Getz really needs to learn The Art of the Deal©. It's silly not to game their service time more.

Jim Margalus is saying the service time manipulation day was the 10th.

They’re going to need a track record of accomplishment before they can slump. In April no less. But, I take your point.

Three factoids today: April 12, 1966 - The Sox opened the season with a 3-2 win over the Angels in 14 innings. Tommy McCraw delivered the game winning hit. Rookie Tommy Agee would crack a two-run home run off Dean Chance in the seventh inning to begin his season, which would end with him being named the Rookie of the Year and the first Sox player to ever hit 20 home runs and steal 20 bases in the same year. But the game became known for what the 28-thousand plus fans sang to open the afternoon...it was not ‘‘The Star-Spangled Banner’’ but ‘‘God Bless America.’’ The Sox made the change because as G.M. Ed Short said the fans, “Just weren’t singing.” Short said the Sox wanted a patriotic song that carried the spirit but also something fans could actually sing to. Songwriter Irving Berlin (“White Christmas”) would write a letter to the Sox begging them to go back to the original anthem. The Sox then decided to let the fans vote on which they preferred. ‘‘The Star-Spangled Banner’’ won. April 12, 1967 - The bittersweet 1967 season opened with a 5-4 loss in Boston to the eventual American League champions. Boston scored four early runs off of Johnny Buzhardt and the Sox were never able to catch up. The White Sox would go into the final week of the season in position to take their first pennant since 1959...only to lose five in a row to bottom feeders Kansas City and Washington which ended that dream. They finished in fourth place, three games out with a record of 89-73. April 12, 1977 - Former high school teacher and Milwaukee radio broadcaster Mary Shane became one of the first female announcers in MLB history when she began doing Sox games. Mary joined Lorn Brown, Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall in the booth for roughly 20-35 games. Caray invited her to join him in the booth when the Sox were in Milwaukee in 1976. She was covering sports for a Milwaukee radio station. Caray was taken by the fact that she was a rare female working in the business and asked her to join him, then shocked her by asking her to do some play-by-play. She worked with him again the next day then that off season got a call from WMAQ radio general manager Charlie Warner with a job offer. She only lasted the 1977 season. She returned to Massachusetts where she became an award-winning sportswriter covering the Celtics, before passing away at an early age on November 3, 1987.

And goes against how smart White Sox fans respond to the team. Why pour money into Jerry’s pockets if he is presenting a piece of s%*# product?

"Why do the Cubs have more fans than us!?" "We told people they couldn't be fans if they weren't around during the s%*# times."

Can he hit too?

It’s cool that he was called up, but at the moment, this team doesn’t hit so this probably doesn’t matter.

Sammy staying hot with a 2-4 night. Murphy with 6 scoreless. He's due for a longer look at the next level, not much left for him to show in Birmingham.

This isn’t sad, my friend, this is awesome!!!

Shuffling the chairs on the deck of the Titanic is not working well.

Offense wasting good starting pitching. Quite frustrating.

Worst record in MLB. “It’s working well…” 🤣

3 Getz offseasons, same old corpseball.

Can’t hurt. Teel and Hays coming back will certainly help. Antonacci whenever he gets the call.

Well, let's hope the Sox don't get cute and go with the easy choice at 1-1.

This is a bit ridiculous. When your stats are disgusting to begin with, how much better can they get the next season? Regardless, Getz has the top pick and if he doesn’t get the best player in the next draft, he will have failed.

So much for the Ant Man.

He really struggled in the WBC after the homer
