  1. I don't get this mindset at all. Because the White Sox didn't try this year (low payroll, zero investment at the deadline) setting a low bar of expectations, and because they've been historically bad the years prior, we should be happy with the year. It feels like a huge loser mindset. Most even talk about this rebuild like it was better than the last because of this 84 win season in an AL that's the worst it's been in my life. They choked the division, and then choked the playoff series. But sure, tell me how this is different and deserves admiration. It's legit disappointing to see so many people adjust their expectations just because the Sox became an embarrassment of an org. I'll add, definitely some fun moments and the players deserved more.
  2. I remember when sox acquired pham and everyone said it was meaningless and he wouldnt play so all the negative peolle were reacting for no reason. Now hes batting 5th in the fucking alds. Its embarrassing. The guy should be out of baseball yet the sox are playing him over much better players for reasons unknown to anyone. Just a joke.
  3. Since the deadline the Sox are 4th in position player WAR and 5th in wRC+ in all of baseball. Meanwhile they're 22nd and 20th in pitching WAR and ERA. They blew it because the Sox acquired no real starters at the deadline when it was a desperate need.
  4. Why can't we be one of the three worst teams ever to win a World Series? Let's small sample our way to shocking the world, starting with Ron's guy Sandlin getting lefties out for the first time all year... then a good old fashion Sean Burke shove fest. Just stopping in to say Go Sox! Nothing I'd enjoy more than listening to hundreds of people and talking heads tell us how we didn't deserve to win it all this year!
  5. Doyle has a .235 xwOBA since joining the Sox, yet here we are talking about how the White Sox have transformed Doyle and he's now a win of the trade deadline. He has that despite the majority of his at bats coming against lefties with the Sox, who he's historically hit much better than righties, but with the Sox he has a .278 xwOBA against lefties which is absolutely terrible. Yes, let's celebrate Getz for acquiring a DFA candidate with his 0 walks and 33% K-Rate in nearly 100 AB's with the Sox. There wasn't a single good move at the deadline and it's why we're now playing a wildcard series.
  6. Traitor. You've been removed from your co-chair role of the Antonacci fan club.
  7. I dont even know what "execute an appeal" means in baseball context, as in requiring the manager to come out of the dugout. Thats not how you appeal. The guy screwed up and gave a bs explanation. Happens everyday in life. This place has jumped the shark it seems and my contributions dont really have a place here anymore. No biggie.
  8. Took heat? The Sox just sent Schultz down today. They've destroyed the kid. Pessimistic take lol. Its what happened and what was said by the man himself. That somehow makes me a pessismist. Im sorry you cant come to grips with that. This place has become intolerable.
  9. Zero chance. He looked like a confused moron, not like some savant gaming the system. Occams razor is something people have a hard time accepting.
  10. Guy screws up like a dope. Admits he fucked up on live TV. Soxtalk refuses to accept the reality.
  11. He was always living on the edge as a command based arm with pretty below average stuff. Rays were able to maximize his outcomes, but we're talking about a guy with a career FIP near 4.7 whose stuff has taken another step back. He's always given up a bunch of bombs and this year is no different, and he's actually giving up even more flyballs, with a lot of hard contact. Not a good combo.
  12. He only didnt catch last year. He was catching the two years prior.
  13. Maybe him and Vargas have the same pharmaceutical rep.
  14. Sandlin cant get lefties out with his repertoire. He needs another pitch.
