White Sox Fans: I want Ozzie to be the next manager! Jerry: No, we have Ozzie at home Ozzie at home:

After 05 Ozzie also only managed to make the playoffs once (and needed a tiebreaker game to do it), where we won a grand total of 1 game. Fire Ricky but seriously how is Ozzie the only name some people can come up with as a replacement.

I don't think any team is giving up anything of even moderate interest for a half season rental in a season that may not even finish.

No you're looking at the tiny corner of a face down card and then calling it a spade as if it is an obvious fact.

The Sox approach vs a pitcher who has no idea where its going vs the Indians earlier approach vs a pitcher who has no idea where its going tells you all you need to know about the two coaching staffs

I've often wondered why shadows are still such an issue. Surely stadiums can build a billboard on the roof that makes the shadows cover the mound and the plate at the same time?

Goooood damn seeing a Sox pitcher hit his spots is so therapeutic, and I can't believe its come to Ross fucking Detwiler being my stress relief

Would love to see a Robert SB here

Nothing reverts me back to dour rebuilding sox fan faster than watching the sox waste innings when runners get on with one or no outs.

How are they going to develop on the bench? You'd be giving up and moving at least one of Kopech/Reylo/Cease to the pen when we already had Gio and Rodon.

1) They still got Dallas, and looking at the pitchers they passed on, the issue was not money, but the Sox not wanting them 2) The plan this year was always going to be to ride the young arms, developing them is the key to future contention. They weren't going to drop 50 mil on another 30+ year old SP just to force Reylo or Cease to the pen preseason Grandal has nothing to do with it

Did he have any in the other blowouts either? I seem to remember, back when he was in his prime, he'd be out there to calm down or adjust a pitcher quite often (and it would work usually too) and now I feel like I see him get off his ass once a week.

A few starts is over 25% of the season

Even with 2 quick innings he is going 4 max today, I doubt they let him go more than 80-85 pitches today

Lefties are 4 for 8 with 2 HRs against Cease so far this game

Must be fun for the Indians to have young pitching prospects instead of young throwing prospects

Anyone notice that even on the two outs (both flyouts to right), Cease reacted like he was seeing a mistake get punished?

lmao that replay was really well timed, unfortunately. Carbon copy ugh

Dylan has no idea where it's going right now, even his strikes have missed the target

I've always gotten a bit of a Todd Marinovich vibe when I've seen reports about Kopech and his family. Hopefully I'm wrong and his family is a good resource for him right now.

Especially since (I think) making the decision to play at least one game would get them the MLBPA health insurance for life, which would be really useful right now.

"[Player name] sacrificed his life for baseball. Ever since he was a kid, baseball was his whole life. I know if he was with us today, he'd want us to keep playing, so we are dedicating the rest of the season to playing in his honor"

The last word I'd use to describe the caution shown by the MLB towards playing during a global pandemic is "abundant"

Y'a'll remember when we almost got Joc Pederson for Carson Fulmer? Y'all remember how some people were actually scared we'd lose that trade because Fulmer had just gone to Driveline? Good times.

Not especially
