It's just super bizarre, to me, to frame this as an argument against organizational loyalty as opposed to the opposite. Jerry could easily have brought in some other fresh faced dipshit spewing sexy driveline buzzwords that would have done nothing right. Instead, for whatever reason, he trusted that his guys had learned from their misplays and figured out what their strengths were and the benefits of that are right in front of us.

I don't get what is so hard about admitting Kenny, Hahn and co. did a brutal job in the early tens and have since turned it around significantly, to the point they probably have the best long term (or second best) outlook in all of baseball.

Plenty of teams have traded guys of similar caliber and got diddly squat in return. Getting Eloy for Quintana in itself is a huge display of scouting and patience.

Let's see how flu + COVID season goes before we make any assumptions.

It's a good thing it doesn't really matter

Why should Lucas Giolito be forced to pitch on extra rest because Trevor Bauer is a weirdo?

Uh, yeah

That was a fuck you fastball

Dylan Cease hasn't exactly locked in his future if you ask me.

If Marshall can't pitch, I would think Crochet could replace him, though I wouldn't want that

Bummer is apparently in Cincy

This has to be the closest thing to a guy debuting in the majors since...?

Oh wow. I thought this was a possibility but in, like, a normal year.

Not sure why I thought this thread would be worth clicking

Who else would it even be. Not only are the Sox the sexy team that tends to get MOtY but they have the literal best record in the AL

I don’t think it will be remotely close

The last time the white Sox played a playoff game the number one song was So What by Pink and the number one movie was Beverly Hills Chihuahua

A Dyson Robert Engel outfield will never not make me laugh. An embarrassment of riches.

That. Is about the only play I miss having hawk

He was very good last year.

Disagree

Love the Bad Seeds, man wtf

Couldn't have happened to a better guy...

I'm going to be in heaven the days where there are 6 playoff games

I'm not the superstitious type, but if I was, it feels as though the Padres and Sox are destined to face off in the World Series.
