I'll apologize for starting out strong on you. Look at your first post, and look at the reactions to it. Calling players garbage is pejorative. Calling a trade of players garbage is still about the players. Maybe read up more on the games to get a more nuanced feel for how people who watch and analyze minor league development speak about the results? https://soxmachine.com/2024/06/white-sox-minor-keys-june-18-2024/ Advertisement

Bad faith? You complain, daily, about most prospects. They're prospects. They will adjust to the league, then the league will adjust back. Pitchers will be instructed to work on a particular pitch, set-up or sequence, regardless of the results, just to learn. Bad months will ensue. We're all looking at the same games, the same dataset. To constantly express concern where there aren't really issues has a name. It's called concern trolling. It has been duly noted that you have concerns, and haven't bought in to any player in our system, and won't until they're enshrined in the HOF. You choose to remind us every day. You are casting judgement. You don't have the power to cast "final" judgement, so I have no idea what needle you're threading there.

Calling people "hot garbage" isn't expressing concern.

But you cast a steady stream of "not-final" judgement on every. single. prospect. Do you actually believe that a good prospect should plug in and hit .400 without any hiccups? Or throw one hitters their entire career?

No, the Cease trade continues to look great. YOU look like hot garbage. I think the harsh takes are really uncool on the FutureSox side. This place seems to be about watching prospects, not ridiculing them. There are plenty of trolls who will embrace your hatred on the other side.

You mean against Boston? When he threw 3 scoreless innings? Why was that terrible?

I walk every day, pretty much cut red meat out of my diet, get regular checkups, all in a bid to live long enough to savor the day the White Sox decline to give a qualifying offer to Benintendi when his contract runs out.

Evan White. He's got a buyout for 2026.

He just got shuffled from Seattle to Atlanta to Anaheim in a contract shell game this off-season.

I don't even remember the street, but there's a marker in the sidewalk where the Haymarket Square riots started. It's about 4" in diameter, and that's all that commemorates it. We had friends visit from Soviet East Germany, and it was fun to point to that and tell them THIS is where the international worker's movement began.

CrazyEST idea: If Eloy starts hitting, but there's no trade interest, pick up the option and throw him at 1B.

Andrew Vaughn: King of the Fielder's Choice RBI.

Well, he is from New York, so ..... No.

They're pitching around the scary bottom of the order.

They're trying to recreate game 4 of the 2005 WS.

Woody Allen did say that 90% of success is just showing up.

Amazing series. Looking back at the box scores, every single White Sox pitcher got a clear shot to completely s%*# the bed. And boy did they ever. To a man.

Benintendi's OPS is .343 against lefties this year. Colas has reverse splits. They should be sitting Benintendi at every opportunity, or at least, DH him, and put Julks in LF.
