this is one of the most joejoe takes of all joejoe takes. enjoy the win one time buddy. this was a magical come back winner

This and other people freaking out/ giving up is silly. Colson is heating up. Gonzalez will hit up here. They’ll be fine against Detroit next two, and at Minnesota, and yes at Philly. After that they will really need Mune.

And on the 6th day, Gonzo was called up to lead them to the promised land......

Don't move Colson from SS in my opinion

That's called baseball

He's actually not horrible when he lets the game come to him and he doesn't have to try to manufacture excitement.

WE ARE AWESOME AT MANFRED BALL

Yea, they added a new sign to the booth for the series:

I would say Venable is getting A LOT out of the team he has. There's talent, for sure, but it's young, raw talent for the most part. The few veterans sprinkled in are helping on and off the field. Grichuk fit right in, Benintendi (despite being bad at baseball) seems to be well liked, Hill is having the time of his life, and Kay is helping a young pitching staff. Don't overlook the fact that the culture of this team has been completely overhauled with the last of the *ahem* problems traded away during the off season. And I firmly believe that Murakami has been a huge part in bringing this team together. It's amazing that a guy with limited English and Spanish fits in so well and already seems to be a leader in the clubhouse. Venable will get a lot of credit, deservedly so, but this group of players is so tight and truly seem to like each other. That, along with the growing talent, is producing an exciting team to watch.

Before anyone says Benintendi is hitting well lately: He's got .148/.148/.333 over his last 7 and .204/.273/.600 over his last 15. For a guy that's played 3 innings of defense all years, that's horrible.

Gonzo I hope you crush it and never look back. Mune…get better fast!!!

I hope Mune is really out for only two weeks. Hamstrings are tricky. That said, happy for Jacob Gonzalez. Worked his ass off and totally bought in to Sox hitting program. I have been down on him since he was drafted, but he seems like a good kid. I hope he kills it.

Go f*** right off boy. We had our fit to be cut starting pitcher going against arguably their guy with the best stuff. Take your bullshit Debbie Downer horseshit out of this thread and if you keep it up then you’re headed straight to The Hall of Fame List. Clear?

I think you can just put Gonzo at 1B, he got reps there in Charlotte.

Your Chicago White Sox are the 4th team in the AL to 30 wins! It's May! At 30-27, they are 3 over .500 for the first time since September 2022. 30 wins before June for the first time since 2021. They are currently playing ahead of their 2022 pace (27-30 after game 57, 81-81 for the season). Still 3 GB of the Guardians who never seem to lose when we win, but 3.5 ahead of MIN and 1.5 up on WC2. They are a delightful 18-11 at home, and 9-3 in the division. They have a positive run differential at +1...and a positive FUN differential to boot. Thought this was likely the toughest pitching matchup coming in, so good to come away with the W. Let's win a series (and get positive news on Mune)!

Amen. I miss having Sox baseball do that for me.

Tell me Vargas isn’t the happiest he’s ever been in his career. Love watching a dude grow as a player and a leader. it’s been a really shitty, shitty day. Good to end it smiling.

Also, Schriff is pretty dope on the call in big moments. He can stay.

Take that Benetti you b****!

Come on guys. This s%*# is the best

This s%*# sucks. @southsider2k5 @WestEddy @CaliSoxFanViaSWside it’s time to ignore each other and just move on. Closing another fucking thread because you guys wanna gripe about online grudges this is fucking dumb @ron883 make another sandlin thread if you want

Unrelated, but Charlotte's stadium has such a great outfield skyline.

It’s also Gonzalez’s birthday tomorrow. @tray , you want to s%*# on his breakfast er?

PREACH

Ultimate team player forcing Getzy's hand

Guys, we can’t be excited about a former first round pick possible sticking around apparently. At least according to tray. The circumstances suck but maybe he makes a case to stick around when Mune comes off IL.

It's great to see Vargas finally starting to live up to his potential. The Dodgers gave up on him too early imho but now the Sox are benefitting. He is only 26 so he is just coming in to potentially his best years.

I was upset until reading your comment made me realize that yeah, this isn't the worst that could happen.

Presumably go about my day.

Gonzo is gonna hit so many bombs at the new stadium that Tray won't know what to do.

Legit no one has said: “oh good Mune is hurt. We have Gonzo who can put up equal numbers.” You’ve exposed yourself as a fuckin idiot if you already hadn’t a long time ago.

What a day. First my ECU Pirates take down Tennessee in 14 innings. Then the Sox walk it off. Enjoying my bourbon now

Who the hell has implied that?

Only because of my erection after that blast.

I know from many years at the park how many Detroit fans come in to Chicago , especially for a weekend series. And they are always obnoxious in the stands. Let's sweep them.

Are you standing?

This was one of the 60 we had no business winning but Detroit out sucked us.

Right now Vargas is a fixture at 3rd. No one is going to replace him for a while. Maybe not even Roch or "Gonzo". This guy is a clutch player.

Yet people just continue to whine.

They keep winning games they have no business winning.

Rikku heard y'all talking s%*#

Finally having hope again makes this kinda cr#p hurt.

It's been a beautiful thing to see so many join team lackey. Guy has been incredible this year, and his development in general has been even more impressive. Best player in the draft.

Bring your kid to work day?

He isn't good when healthy and seems like anyone could replace him.

Can the booth actually fit two egos of such massive size?

it would def be nice to be able to DH Colson and Vargas a bit and keep them fresher. Colson especially is playing his first full MLB season and he will wear down at some point this summer I'd imagine.

Same suggestion I had a month ago: call him up for DH, and to spell other infielders a few times per week. Dump Beni. Low-risk move. Another thing I like about him is that his K rate is reasonable. The big club Ks too much, as do the 2 top prospects.
