Look at Ray Ray Run

I'm not sure you understand how hard hitting is. They're not trying to swing at balls. They don't recognize it out of the hand because mackenzie is deceptive as shit, release points are identical, and the curve looks like everything else. It's why he's so nasty without elite velocity

Apparently the hitting coach is telling people to swing at balls. Lol

No one touches good mackenzie curves. That pitch from that arm slot is so nasty. I've always been a big mackenzie guy though

I haven't been around as much as I made a commitment to being more positive and enjoying the division race even if we haven't met expectations - it's not like we're the Yankees. We haven't earned the right as fans to be arrogant. I'm gonna enjoy this drive down the stretch. Let's go boys! Let's sweep this ass holes. I'll add that la russa criticism and negativity is still fine, but I'm all in on the boys . Leggo!! Season started today

I heard and read multiple times, over and over again, that a player can never touch an umpire - especially in an argument/disagreement. I'm not arguing tone, although technically Tim didn't touch the umpire with a part of his body lol, but you either have rules to protect umpires that don't discriminate or you don't. And people are either against touching umpires or not against it.

I thought you can never ever touch an umpire for any reason; especially when arguing. Or is that not white in this case?

It's honestly amazing to me that people think the hitting coach is instructing guys not to hit homeruns. Additionally that the players would be like, good call coach!

That's just nonsense though. Losing a pick for a superstar player means nothing in the grand scheme of the deal. They weren't playing 4D chess here; they botched the market and screwed up. Cubs screwed the pooch big time.

And the Sox activate Robert to sit on the bench, again. I've never seen a team in my life activate as many guys off the IL who don't play that day. So odd. So they play a guy short. Again.

The Sox, however sad it may be, are in the middle of a window and gave nothing up - they'll lose nothing. It's bad, absolutely, but it's standing pat and rolling with your guys down the stretch of a division race. The Cubs are in a full out rebuild, and have managed to get next to nothing for their two best players who are not going to be around. They'll be flat out lost. That's absolute insanity.

The Cubs get like a 2nd or 3rd round PICK for those guys? There's no one alive who wasn't willing to give up a prospect better than a 2nd/3rd round pick. If they actually let them walk, it's even worse. The ONLY way it could be OK is if they decide to extend both. Letting them walk for a draft pick would be insane.

Jed Hoyer completely taking a dump as well. Hoyer was worse than Hahn today. That guy has no idea what he's doing. Let's his players go around saying goodbye too. lol

Because he lit 40 million on fire this offseason signing: 2 utility guys A non-competitive "starting pitcher" 2 bullpen guys who couldn't pitcher b2b days (one who was hurt) Amazing when you think about. Hahn would rather spend $40 on 5 piles of shit than $40 on one delicious pizza.

LOL, you could be punched in the face and then shot by Rick Hahn and you'd still say "It was probably the best choice Hahn could make. I left him no chance."

After as bad of an off-season as you could have imagined - which was obvious to even the most casual baseball fans - the White Sox do nothing at the trade deadline. This from the organization that talked so much about supplementing this group the past two off-seasons. Taking advantage of the window. Going for the title. Since the Trade Deadline of last year, Rick Hahn has been worse at his job than if we installed my dog as GM and told him to step on the face of the floor mat of the guys he wanted to sign or acquire. It's honestly hard to believe how bad Hahn has been. This is what we spent years losing for. So this idiot can make terrible trades, evaluate MLB talent as if he was blind and deaf, and never spend on premium talent.

I just don't like him as a ball player; simple as that.

Him and Yelich dying at the same time after being amazing has been quite interesting to watch. Turns out Knees and Shoulders are important for guys.

Bellinger also sucks, is broken, and will never be fixed. A big name with small production - Sox could really celebrate that.

The amazing thing is the Padres system is still light years better than ours after "Emptying" the system. He also acquired guys that are there for multiple years. Nothing about what Preller did today is worthy of any criticism.

I don't even want Ian Happ which is why I know the Sox will somehow come through late with some terrible trade to acquire Ian Happ.

they got rid of that

it's very very white sox. we only find elite players worth considering, they just never consider us.

lol it honestly sucks being a SOx fan.

Still blown away that the Nats traded Soto at all. Amazing. So bad for the game when these generational players leave Boston and Washington because of "money." Padres give up a bunch of guys who have done nothing for one of the 5 best hitters to start his career in MLB history --- and who hasn't even reached his prime.

I think the Padres clean up here. THey didn't give up a single proven MLB talent. It's a huge package, but Soto is a generational talent.
