Grandal only caught a couple innings Sunday, off day yesterday, and now not catching Lucas here tonight. I was counting his dead money this time next season. Might have to call it dead money now, today.

Alright Lucas, odds are your are only getting that one run there. Shut them down.

Gordon Beckham again? Yikes

MLB players are already under strict testing, there should be zero reason why any unvaccinated athlete should not be allowed to participate assuming negative tests.

Or maybe Canada gets off the ledge a bit with their silly restrictions.

I know we all love Vaughn, but that's a shit ass AB.

If TA is turtling here, might as well wrap this one up. Another bad beat to a terrible team. Fuck this offense and fuck LaRussa.

It's inexcusable that Cueto is still out there. Hahn and LaRussa should have walked alongside Keuchel out the door.

Did we DFA the wrong pitcher?

Yes, for Danny Mendick.

Yes, their pitching is strong enough to carry them there.

I mean, who's missing that should be there? Robert = COVID Moncada = SOFT

It's a $$$ based organization, and any time Rick Hahn goes to the well in Free Agency he's eating dead money.

Finally happened, thank God. But celebrating is acknowledging another link in the long chain for Rick Hahn's failures as GM. He's probably doing the same eat pie shit come next season for Grandal. Rick Hahn should have been fired today along with Dallas Keuchel.

$18,000,000.00

If those were your expectations, then you were being delusional then.

LaRussa was an awful hire. But let's not kid ourselves here that another manger would have been fine with the avalanche of injuries the last 2 seasons. This to go along with Hahn's mis-management of resources, that's how we find ourselves treading water. Oh, and the the regressions to key high paid players like Abreu, Grandal, Moncada, Keuchel ..... Being at .500 feels like a blessing right now. BTW, we have only 3 guys in the lineup with an OPS above .750. The lineup which was suppose to go toe to toe with the Dodgers, Yankees, and Astros ?

100%. As I mentioned yesterday, Grandal should not be taking away any ABs at DH or 1B ahead of anyone other than Leury or Harrison. He catches, he hits. That simple.

Those 9 there have not been available to the roster as whole, not once this year. And I think last year was the exact same. Just a brutal run.

I read it as if you're saying they're "tanking" by choice.

Who am I missing who should be playing instead?

LMAO. Moncada is not putting up a 5 WAR season anytime soon.

Sandy?

Neither are "great", and we needed Moncada to be great and consistent by the age of 25 when there was value to that contract. Assuming player A above (whoever it is) eventually got great at say age 29-30 what good does that do for the White Sox right now for this championship window? And Moncada's stats above include a spectacular 2019 season which clearly is starting to look like a complete anomaly.

He's not a great player, stop it. ? Same way some of us go over the top with hate towards him, calling him "great" is way off the other end. And the reason he has a short leash amongst Sox fans is due to expectations. He was the #1 prospect and was traded for arguably the best starting pitcher in the AL at the time. The expectation was greatness. He is way too inconsistent to be great.
