That you like half the team is the surprise !

Pfft. Game threads are easy. Same time tomorrow?

Grichuk is fucking fire.

Now that Teel is back, hopefully Mune will be joining the team soon. The team needs both players to lead the team into the 2026 playoffs.

Quero needs to play everyday or as close to that as possible. With him struggling the last thing he needs is to be sitting on the bench 5-6 days a week.

I know Quero needs a major reset.....but god I do absolutely loathe having to watch Romo play

Let’s sweep these bastards.

Warning, our other options not named Newcomb are not good lol. We have Hicks and a bunch of AAAA lefties left

This has to be like the 3rd or 4th time they've bailed out Dominguez.

Lmao "Cleveland is challenging the whole thing"

My apologies to Billy Koch.

1 run? For me to feel good about Dominguez, they need 5.

Soon as schriffen said that guy is 0-12 on the season i knew he was getting a hit

Grichuk leads the league in PH HRs with 3 Sox have hit 12.7% of all PH HRs in MLB this season

Grichuk is a professional vL homerun hitter.

Upon review, the runner was wearing a Sox jersey.

Sox have been BABIPed to death this last week or so.

Great leader of men, does some super aggressive saber style stuff I like with PH, buy also a bunch of stupid s%*# I can't stand. I give him a solid B. It's not like he's got a superstar team underachieiving.

Haven't made a game thread this season. Now is as good a time as ever. Let's sweep these fucks!

Sox and Braves still the only remaining teams who haven't had a 4+ loss streak this season

Watching a few times now, and that was a great slide by Peters.

I’m not giving up on him but that was a bad move by Will. Acuna is seeing it well and Jacob is in a slump. You could see Jacob’s body language - he was toast from second he walked up. Lacking confidence right now. I think he will be ok - but put him in better situations and that wasn’t the one. Swings at 3 balls.

Jacob Gonzalez needs to be sent down. I'm not giving up on the kid..... he's had a chance to face major league pitching and they have figured him out. Now he needs to go down and work on some things and see if he can figure out major league pitching

He is still a solid piece for the pen - he just shouldn’t be closing right now or at least not the primary. Grant Taylor was awful tonight too.

Acuna looks like he is having a lot more fun

PSYCHO KILLER SAM

Can we DFA Will Venable along with SD?

Guys, don’t worry @WestEddy says Dominguez is our closer.

I sure as hell can. It’s every time.

I TOLD everybody he was ready!!

Braden needed these hits tonight.

🤣 joejoesox is BACK!

See that's a great job not giving in by Kay. Kay doesn't have the greatest stuff but our young guys can learn from that.

We should have had more runs that inning.

You said youre out

Good thing Colson isn't playing his natural position!

The only place I have read any suggestion that Ishbia is a terrible, greedy, despicable human being on a different level than other billiionaire pro sports owners such that Sox fans should dread his potential ownership is one single poster on this site (now inducted as the sole member of my Soxtalk HoF) pushing this narrative ad nauseum. That's it. Can anyone find anyone anywhere who has intense reservations about Justin Ishbia buying the White Sox? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? The negatives I have heard about the Ishbias is that their throwing money at the Phoenix Suns hasn't turned them into a winning team and that's a cautionary tale about getting too excited about their ownership of the Sox. Also, disputes with his mansion in Winnetka. Both are valid complaints, but I don't see anything that would make Sox fans howl in protest at him being lined up as the team's next owner. Are there really other Sox fans out there outraged at the idea that super-wealthy billionaire brothers with deep Chicago ties have emerged at the likely next Sox owner? I'm not seeing it anywhere.

Acuna was a "capable" shortstop but a plus second baseman. Thanks for reading. Make sure to hit that like and follow button!

Don't tell RayRay, Tray, or WhiteSox2023 who Teel happily arrived with.

The fact that you can't admit that Colson makes the play because he's a better Shortstop is incredible. It's your obsession with critiquing anyone who critiques perceived authority. One guy is an elite defender, the other isn't. The point of playing your best players at their best positions is to maximize outs. The Sox not playing their elite SS at SS cost them the win. It's really that simple. In fact, some have been screaming that this would cost them all year. Now it does, and you act like people are playing Monday morning QB.

It was obvious within like 2 weeks of watching him last year. He never gets a bad hop as he has some of the best reactions you'll ever see despite unorthodox mechanics. Like they don't teach you to take a step back on a chopper and field a ball at your waist but he does all the time. He looks unorthodox because as you said he doesn't rely on a cannon like many elite SS but he gets to the ball so quickly and his transfer is so quick it really doesn't matter.

The locals don't want to pay for it, surprise.

The Colson one is fascinating because by all intents and purposes, he passes every eye test. In fact, guys like Colson sometimes get graded up because they're ++ athletes and athletes sometimes get the benefit of the doubt in areas other players won't. I've watched Colson for 120+ games now, and he's elite as the word can get. He has huge range, gets to everything, but also has a great first step. His arm is probably only a 40 in strength, but it's an 80 in accuracy and his timing is so impeccable that I'm convinced he probably has more MPH's under there but just never needs to get to them. I'm just happy to see someone write about Colson. He has to be the most underrated first-year player (first 162 games) in my life of watching baseball. He's on a 6.5 WAR pace over his first 160! That ranks Colson as having a top 15 Rookie Season of ALL-TIME. In the HISTORY of baseball!!! He never gets any pub, doesn't even get to play his natural position everyday on his own club. Colson is a Superstar, but the league covers him like a supporting piece and the team treats him like some developing player.

Well, it appears that Veneable also has missed the boat as have the White Sox as an org. Heck there's some fans that refuse to give him his due and think he and Acuna are similar.

I think this move shows the Sox are not giving up on using this as an important development season. Quero, IMO, is the better MLBer today than Drew Romo. But as long as Teel is ready for the workload, Teel is going to get 80%+ of the reps behind the plate. And the difference between Quero and Romo isn't really that big, regardless. But Quero is unlike Romo in that he's young and has shown more offensive potential. Moreover, he didn't spend much time in the high minors. So there's a reasonable expectation that he could actually get better by playing every day in Charlotte, again unlike Romo who has shown you who he is both at AAA and MLB. Believe it or not, once upon a time in the minors Edgar hit for some power! Maybe he can get his swagger back a little bit against pitchers who aren't overwhelming him.

Quero is still someone I believe in, but I get what they are doing. Give him time to get right and get at bats and we'll see him back in August timeframe (hopefully ready to stay for good).

This is just a glaring example of how much they hate Lee behind the plate. Can’t get much worse than Romo offensively and defensively, but.. I agree with sending Edgar down. He needs regular at bats. He looked pretty good in the Spring, but started in such a hole. Hopefully, he rights the ship and is back up in August or September.

Here is Mock Draft 2.0 that I released today: https://www.futuresox.net/2026/06/21/2026-mlb-mock-draft-2-0/ Grady Emerson Draft Profile: https://www.futuresox.net/2026/06/17/2026-mlb-draft-profile-grady-emerson/ Jacob Lombard Draft Profile: https://www.futuresox.net/2026/06/08/2026-mlb-draft-profile-jacob-lombard/ MLB Draft Notebook 4.0: https://www.futuresox.net/2026/06/09/white-sox-2026-mlb-draft-notebook-4-0/

He's actually really good at getting production out of his pinch hit decisions.
