He is just an absolute pleasure. Going to be driving through Charlotte in an hour, going to just scream Luis out the window.

Pretty sure triceps are the back of your arm.

It’s just frustrating because all year the fielders have communicated poorly on balls in the air and many of us have commented someone is going to get hurt this year if this continues.

This is only year 3 of a 5-6 year rebuild. The Sox have plenty of time to find a left fielder.

He wasn’t good to begin with defensively. I sure as hell didn’t mind watching Frank Thomas bat knowing he wasn’t going to play 1B. Besides, you could improve both the defense and the lineup by adding a LF who can actually play there and hit a bit.

Basically hitting the Injured List twice this season by playing dumb defense.

They really need to just make him the full time DH whenever he returns. You can’t afford him getting injured so much due to his clumsiness defensively.

Getting complete game shutout by Glenn Sparkman should equal one firing.

I'm not sure what you (and some other posters on this board) know what flip means in terms of baseball or sports in general.

A 4 game slump doesn’t erase a guy being a top 10 position player in baseball for three months.

He will be too busy laughing at Hahn’s incentive-based contract offer as he accepts a much larger guaranteed contract from another team.

I'm sure Gerrit Cole can't wait to play on this team.

Cool. Our #1 prospect is destined to be a DH. That's worthwhile, and we by no means have an overflow of those types.

Is this a serious take? That was TIlson's 100%, Eloy should have backed off that ball

We're starting to play like I thought we would on the road (lose series after series). We've been good at home, better than a normal tank team. I expect a big time nosedive in August and September; we're talking mega losing.

This is so perplexing. You spent a lot of last season telling everyone that Giolito was interesting and may become something good, and props to you for that. Now he's having an all-star season, and as one of his "biggest fans" (which you kind of aren't, if this is your opinion on him), he's now "nothing more than a 3-4"? That's ridiculous, he isn't the 1.5 ERA guy he was in May but he also isn't suddenly a #4 pitcher. Long-term I think he's a very good #2 or low-end #1 but two bad starts (and really just two bad innings, if we're being honest) doesn't take a guy from future ace to #4.

Trade him while he's hot, grab a lotto ticket, move on.

I predict they will dangle Abreu, Bummer and Colome and walk away from trade offers since they won’t get the value they want. 15 days to go.

you are probably right... we are just playing more like what we really are.

Thank god you are not our GM.

MBINAA

you learn this crap in high school. The CF is the Captain out here...the QB...what he says goes and the corner guys need to understand that. It's unbelievable how fundamentally weak this team is. Ricky is a good guy and all...but he needs to be put into some Latin America position and out of the dugout. Team just needs a shakeup like the OP stated...

But even when he’s not being an “asshole”, he still is god awful out there. I doubt he gets significantly better as he ages as well.

The entire coaching staff should be sent packing. It should happen but it won’t.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nothing announced since initial report. I can only imagine he’s on his way to Mayo Clinic.

He didn’t look great, but not 6 runs bad.

Advanced scouting is a huge problem with our awful positioning and terrible game plans

I agree with you. He has made some very good plays In LF

No because he’s just awful out there in various aspects and is incredibly clumsy.

AJ Reed doesn't have a future on this team. Zack Collins might. I don't care if he just got a hit.

I still don't like Jon Jay. He's a lollygagging schmuck. And man, this game is gonna be hard to watch, win or not. There's pretty much one interesting hitter in the lineup.

Ok

Playing like this pretty much makes it sure they will sell.. so not totally a bad thing i guess.

Why would we give away Colome?

No I don’t...I just find your take to be insulting, ignorant, & contradicting. And in regards to Bummer being a “dime a dozen” arm just flat out wrong. The kid was going to be a key piece in a trade for Joc Pederson and has only gotten better this season. Young, controllable left-handed relievers with plus stuff are typically worth quite a bit. The only thing holding back Bumner’s value potentially is a lack of track record.

If you can pair him with Colome, and get a prospect like May you do it. Tommy Kahnle got Rutherford, who was a top 50 prospect at the time. I look at that trade as two different ones: Salary relief and Kahnle for Rutherford.

Salary relief? The guy is owed like 2 million the rest of the way. This organization is in big trouble if they need salary relief for Jon Jay.

They need to sell high on Bummer, before his arm fall off or he returns back to earth.

I think he's a 2, but I also think he comps pretty well with Scherzer. I'm undecided, but at this point if you asked if I wanted him to start game 7 of the world series, I'd say no. So in that regard, he's not an ace. Also, Buehrle wasn't an ace. Out of all our pitchers, I think Kopech is the ace because he has the heaviest fastball.

Let's overreact to two bad starts against the Cubs.

I think the most unrealistic of any of those is that the White Sox would send cash to anyone.

Maybe they all went on a bender.

Someone who’s defense is shut up nerd when they’re shown to be wrong.

Oh boy...Castillo's back. This is exciting. Can't wait for tonight's game.🙂

Sucks that he barely was even given a chance to get consistent AB's.
