    to win the division if we were to sign Tucker, Alonso and Valdez this offseason ?   I know this will NEVER happen, but I honestly think we instantly become the favorites if White Sox ownership decided to do this.

    LOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

    Sorry you just made me seriously laugh out loud with the concept that this owner will sign 3 free agents like that!

    The cheap White Sox aren’t going to give up on Burke in the rotation.  I would say he’s probably a lock if he stays healthy through ST.  They will probably sign one veteran starter for around $5 million and sign multiple cheap options for next to nothing to compete with guys like Cannon and Gomez for the backend.  The rotation is going to look like a rotation that bad teams have.

    Burke is still a young guy with good stuff.  I would not give up on him.....

  3. The Guardians and Tigers have 2 of the worst line-ups I have seen for a playoff game.

    I am willing to say that the current White Sox line-up from the end of the season is better then both of these teams.

     

    Spend SOME (not even a lot, a decent amount)  F'ing money in the off season and the White Sox can contend for the division next year.

    Venable wants to go by the matchups and not have a designated closer. It's the new MLB, surprised some here cant see that.

    While I understand this .....SOME dudes are not meant to close games or have the balls to close games.  No matter what the matchups say.  9th inning is different.  

  5. You don't need to spend money on the bullpen. You have a few candidates now that can be good....

    Vasil, leasure, Taylor.....

    However, You do need to find a legit closer (That is the only one I am paying money too)

    Nobody disagrees with that.

    The issue is that he tries to generate  excitement that isn’t there. It just feels so unnatural. An announcer should match and deliver the on-field product, not get in its way. When Schriff goes over the top, it feels manufactured and unnatural in a distracting way.

    We won 41 games last year.

    We are 31 games under .500 this year.

    I will take excitement when it comes.

    Curious what you don't like about them because I think they're pretty damn good. They can be light and playful, while still telling you what's happening and why it's happening. Incorporate analytics without being over the top with them. Homers, but critical of the team when it's called for. Yeah, I watched a lot more Cubs than Sox in the first half of the season.

    Can't highlight your quote about 

    "critical of the team when it's called for" 

    I watch cub games all the time and don't see this at all. Usually they're playing around or talking about some nonsense when the Cubs are getting their ass kicked

    See, I don't think anything John does is genuine, and that is probably why it bothers me.  Both Hawk and Jason were genuine guys in their style.  John is just loud to be loud, even when the situation doesn't call for it. Each sport has it's own pace and tempo, and baseball is very rarely a game that should see PBP delivered at a 10.  To me it sounds like a guy who doesn't understand the game.

    I find the most cookie cutter thing about him, is that he really doesn't have anything new or interesting to say, only what he is being fed to say.  For as bad as Hawk got by the end, he always had his very own unique style and path.   Schiff is just the dude in the crowd who cheers loudly to be noticed, but doesn't actually offer anything of his own.

    What do you want him to offer?

    He is the PBP guy......he needs to call the game with some excitement.  That is all I need from him.  Let the color guy give you interesting tid bits and nuance of the game.
