"Will Venable was dismissed as manager of the Chicago White Sox effective immediately. Despite the team playing wildly beyond expectations and increasing attendance and excitement around the team significantly, he reportedly asked a newly-promoted slap hitter to bunt in a regular season game. It is unclear whether he will face criminal charges, and his family has asked for privacy at this difficult time."

I hate it when they throw the ball back on the field. Thats Cubs bs

They have the 4th best OPS and 2nd most HR against LHP this season, people just don't like the names on the lineup card.

Sandman put them to sleep and the Sox bats came alive. Twins forum is super jealous for some fun reading.

Sox have been at or over .500 since reaching 21-21 on May 13. It's the longest stretch at or above .500 since September 2022. Win #28 last season was the last game in June. The Sox were 28-56. Sandlin had an excellent debut, retiring 18 straight after a leadoff HR to Buxton. He topped out at 99mph and averaged 97.7. 7 Sox turned in multi-hit efforts. Mune got HR #20 and his first SB. Fun one! And some much needed rest for the top of the pen.

I'm sure Ron can one up it

You.

Yeah I hate stuff that gets the crowd excited.

Not carrying over last nights loss is something this team has been doing all year. Love to see it. Take 3/4 tomorrow with Martin! Also enter Sandlin!!?! What a fuckin debut!

Proof #48294 soxtalk.com will complain about literally anything

Leave it to Acuna to GIDP on 1st pitch against a position player

Reminder that you can't ABS challenge vs. position players

I was in Japan last week for work and that’s all we talked about with my Japanese colleagues

And with THAT, Mune sets the rookie record for HRs before June

Liked this site better when you couldn’t access it

She is a joke of an umpire. Also, why does she feel the need to take five steps on a check swing? Ironically, it reminds me of all the umps in college softball.

Who gets blame for Caufield's ridiculous threads.....

Often times people ( especially on the internet ) become keyboard warriors and act as authority figures when in reality they have little actual insight to offer. It’s easier to judge a play while sitting on a couch and reviewing a situation in slow motion. Some also don’t have actual playing experience too. Otherwise, those who have played the game tend to see things differently. Sam, Riku, Mune, and Will are all pros. They’ll all get better from the loss and will continue to grow. That’s what gives hope for the future. We’re no longer stuck with arrogant flashy show boats like Moncada or deflective putts like Grifol. 😆 Hopefully today we’ll get back on track and will be treated to a surprising debut that can bring even more excitement for the better days this franchise has entered. Go Sox!

Don't forget to thank the Luis Robert trade for Mr. Sandman.

Fitting but probably Inadvertent. "The Easy Winners" was composed by Scott Joplin in 1901. A ragtime classic.

Nice to get an easy winner.

This Bud's for you....I'm cracking open a Jungle Boogie myself to celebrate.

How awesome is it to have a shitload of great LHB after the last decade? It makes a big difference. Twins announcers were lamenting how many good ones we have.

I hate you guys 🤣 I was all set to call him Sandman and insert the Metallica video ! Thought I'd check the winners thread 1st. So Im reduced to this. Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight. Exit light Enter night Take my hand We're off to never never land.

For my buddy @jhonnydanks DON'T STOP. GET IT GET IT.

Well it ain't called sox STFU. We gone talk.

It’s almost like she should be umpiring slow pitch softball….kidding

No comment.

Why is John scoreboard watching the Cubs?

Nishida needs to start bunting properly for them to increase attendance though.

Don't lie to us you are Roch hard

Still would rather be closer to Cleveland than not with the full season series still ahead.

This post has also aged poorly…keep it up 😉

Ask Benintendi.

This is the most wack thread currently active.

Absolutely love that the guy screws up one opportunity and Mr Positivity wants to find who trained him and call him out

I present you: Caulfield

Winless since PCAAA berated the Sox girl

That's 10 in a row now? Ouch. And I think it was the Quero walk-off homer that put 'em on the skids.

Maybe we should be less concerned with his bunting ability and more about the fact that he was asked to bunt with two strikes.

Pope Leo is on that.

I thought the exact opposite and told both my son and my Dad, “What a brilliant player, he’s trying to avoid the tag in a split second moment to give the runner enough time to score.” Go Sox - Go Sam!

Welcome to Soxtalk As a life long Sox fan who has seen generations of this team spanning nearly half a century, Sam has been my favorite player so far this season. So happy he is on our team and I’m hopeful that he will be a Southsider for many years to come. Congrats to the kid, he deserves it and I’ll be rooting for him along with you for his career.

I'm so done with worrying about Yoan, Eloy and Robert. There's another option in that contract. Seriously, we'd be doing this again next winter. Dude, buy a sailboat.
