Did they change the standings to W-L-(1 out from losing)? Otherwise, it means the same as a 12-1 clubbing.

Very competent baseball team. High baseball IQ in this one. Gold stars all around.

Hey, does anybody know what the White Sox record is in one-run games? I hear those are really important.

Sign Peters for 3/$110M!!!!

Screw him!! Promote the guy who's had 32 PAs above AA. LOL. And over the first 6 games, Fangraphs doesn't mind his defense.

I think the point here is to have a better pitcher face the first 3-6 hitters and give the "starter" a softer launch against the bottom of the order.

Are we unable to create new tags when we create a new thread?

Nick Pollack of Pitcher List talks about Janson Junk's outing on Tuesday.

Man, the game's not going Kelenic any favors.

That's fair. If some Japanese group objected, then it's a problem, regardless of what anyone on the Sox' end thinks.

I don't think I'd call it "racist". It's just awkward and stereotypical. It's not denigrating, just lazy. But yeah, that always occurs to me about a person who is in a group that probably deals with bigotry, but nobody ever seems to be more sensitive to it.

I'm sure there were better offers that he passed on. I don't know if it's because the league wouldn't deal straight with Getz earlier in his tenure, or if Robert's reputation did it, but it always seemed like what was being reported was under what this board thought his value should be. Now, I don't know, maybe better GMs fwump their cock on the table, name 4 names and the other GM cries as their system is picked clean. Or maybe the offers were always underwhelming. Something like that team's Jacob Gonzalez and a ranked "stuff" dude who can't throw strikes. I'm pretty sure nobody would have liked a Vientos return.

Are those the only options I'm allowed to think?

What was my incorrect assumption? That Acuña was the first choice? His name was coming up last TDL along with Vientos, so I think he was being discussed. But sure, I'll wear that. Start out asking for Baty and McLean, then settle. I think Robert just had to go. It's 20/20 hindsight to say Getz had to move him in December of '23. Every trading period the Sox held on through lowered Robert's value. That wasn't "known" 12/23.

1) people don't get to pick their own nicknames. They could ask to not be called something. 2) nicknames should be organic. One-dog is a nice example. Pudge. The way the kid wearing a Michigan sweatshirt when the group meets him becomes "Michigan". 3) Moon, in Japanese is tsuki. Five is go. Destroyer is kuchiku-kan. (as per Google translate.) That's probably way more to work with right there than, "Gee, I notice you're Japanese. Do you mind if I call you by a fairly pedestrian stereotype of your culture?"

Murakami has famously had zero hits since Schriff dropped the nickname on him. Cringe, like ...

The silver lining of a complete blowout like today is that Schriffen couldn't break out his taunting HR calls, or even the surprise Kung Fu yells he might have ready for the next South Side Samurai blast.

2 outs. Let's see if we can hold them to double digits.

Ishbia will probably take over, sign 3 players to huge contracts, they'll all turn into Benintendis, then he'll crank it down for a decade until those contracts clear the books. Eat at Arby's.

Another 2-out baserunner!!

Fouled a ball off the same foot he tweaked on the wall 2 days ago. Hope it's not broken.

4 Ks in 5 innings. Offense is looking up.

Holy f***!!! Scoreless inning!! Feel the Mo.
