Gavin Sheets has 2 home runs today. Now 8 on the year. With a .281 Ave, 27 rbi and an .822 ops.......just throwing that out there.

He was already falling on lists. How far does this drop him now?

Tbh, I think the trade talks since even last season are playing a large role in his mental approach. He appears distracted by it whenever asked by the media.

No. I didn't imply or suggest that. And yes, if for instance Soto was batting behind Luis Robert, Luis Robert would get better pitches to hit, and potentially would perform better. Maybe not. But there's probably. Then the hitter in front of him and so on. I feel like this is really basic and fairly obvious, but I digress. I'm not arguing Jerry isn't largely responsible, he is. But random dude on the street could've done a better job the Getz since he took over.

Quality veteran ballplayers make everyone around them better. Something not measured in WAR.

I dont understand folks in the fanbase who are okay with horrid, horrid baseball because rebuild. Sox have long been awful at talent evaluation and Getz is a large part of that. Do you think it's Jerry's idea that year after year we run with no closer at all? Then when the team has 30 blown saves we watch them scratch their heads then do the same thing next season. Jerry being a cheap prick? Big reason why they're terrible. Getz constructed an awful roster and spending that little money in awful ways? Also large part of the blame. Not like the minors are bursting at the seams with talent. Our former #1 prospect is batting .174 in aaa and we have approximately 1 potential stud looking offensive player. Getz is a giant, whopping failure.

Everyone knows he's hot garbage except those lying to themselves.....principally Jerry.

There are other gms with no money who have constructed not the worst team in Baseball history.

I hate what he has let this organization become. Can't even put up a decent fight for cubs/sox series. f*** off Jerry and Chris. Worthless.

It's still mind blowing to me that Ryan McGuffey and Connor McKnight are not the same person.

No reason for Amaya to still be on this team.

I dunno if you heard his podcast with Chuck but Ray wanted to stay. Said he'd take a home town discount but nobody ever approached him. Was blindsided by the trade. I was livid when it happened and that brought it all back. Ray had some great years after he left.

Regular reminder that Getz reluctance to sign ANY closer is what has made these losing seasons historic.....offensive woes aside.

So it seems like calling up the dude who hits home runs helped. Who da thunk it?

I've generally been alright with him but he did overthink this one.

I've only caught like 5 minutes of this game tonight but I've seen 2 plays that should've been appealed.

Most teams employ actual major league baseball players.

Every two weeks we have 4 or 5 games that give me hope. That hope is then immediately destroyed by a series like this.

I talked to her at a Thunderbolts game last summer. Told her we loved her and asked if she was ever coming back to the ballpark. She very plainly said they need to ask me first.....glad whatever it is is worked out for now. I'll go to games just for her.

Is Jeral Perez maybe a thing?

One of my favorite things about Quero at the plate is that he knows what the situation calls for. He has an excellent eye, will take the walk, but the other night when they needed a run, he expanded the zone on 3-1 to try to bring the run in. Didn't work, but it was absolutely the right approach. Very smart at the plate.

Today specifically er just in general? Len and Dj are about a thousand times better. I listened to most of one last week on the radio, it was enjoyable

Spotlight and unrealistic expectations are two different things.

Part of the problem is that these young kids are anointed as saviors for this organization way before they're ready. It can absolutely mess with the head of a young kid just trying to put it all together when everyone looks at them to solve the organizations massive problems. This of course comes from the fact that the team refuses to bring in actual, proven major league players, so the only thing fans have to lean on is prospects. Bringing them to "soxfest" and already pretending they are future household names is a horrible idea. It might not effect all, but I believe it absolutely has played a role in Colson's struggles.

He's a good dude. Id rather he just put it together, but part of this game is hard decisions. And the White Sox usually mess those up.
