Yoan... it's early. -
The official thread of unbridled second half optimism

Keep Eloy, Robert, and Juan on the field...the results will take care of themselves. -
Not long now boys. I think we will be in first by the end of the week.

Earl Weaver knew how to manage. Probably my all-time favorite. If you were a regular player you were on the field or in the hospital. He didn't try to overthink it.

7/29 Athletics @ White Sox 7:10 PM CDT NBCSCH
poppysox replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in 2022 Season in Review
Leury is out of tonight's lineup. Might be something like Moneyball when the manager insisted he was going to play the first baseman. -
I would be more intrigued with 2 or 3 openings but 1 is a start.

2022 White Sox...Potential without leadership.

The bullpen was where RH spent the off-season money. Didn't get much for his money IMO.

Whenever a pitcher walks around the mound and slows the game to a standoff...he just plain looks afraid to throw the pitch. Lopez was a huge delay in the game type until someone got through to him. When Graveman started that stuff today...I knew we were toast.

I had vertigo of the type you describe. Went to a vertigo specialist in Hinsdale. He could tell me by looking into my eyes when I was experiencing Vertigo by moving me around into sitting, laying, and shifting positions. He prescribed exercises and I was over it in approximately 10 days. It has something to do with the inner ear I believe.

Cheaper to get rid of Tony.

Off Day Observations: Our team-wide hitting approach is holding us back
poppysox replied to chw42's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Don't expect Menechino or anyone else to get fired today. It's an off day for the club so RH needs some time off as well. Maybe next week or the week after that. -
Tony doesn't know where the gas pedal is located.

I would do this before I trade away the farm in trying to save this appalling season. Of course...the new manager is a requirement.

7/24 Guardians @ White Sox 1:10 The Road to .500 Continues….
poppysox replied to HeGetzUs's topic in 2022 Season in Review
With their big bat out of the lineup...Cleveland looked very ordinary. To be fair...that is what our lineup looks like when missing two and sometimes three of our important bats. Still, that is not an excuse for resting players incessantly. Brooks Robinson and Lou Gehrig would have hated LaRussa's style of managing. I know I do. -

Grandal is the worst defensive catcher of the three. -

Nine days we are left to determine if we are buyers or sellers. -
What this team needs is not Q... New coaches.

7/23 Sox / Guardians G2 6:15PM TLR promoted yet?

Tony has overstayed his welcome. Terrible way to end a HOF career. -

Yeah...Leury every day. Oh wait...we already do that. -

The 2 oldest players (Grandal /Abreu) on the team can play both ends of the doubleheader but TA needs a rest. Mystifying! Jirschele should be called up immediately. -
We might be good enough to win the Central but that would be maxing out from what I've seen. Maybe a few key deals will set us up for the next few post-TL years. Unless we turn it on NOW...I would recommend we become strategic sellers.

We would do this why?

The President of baseball operations should not be immune to criticism as well.

7/23 Guardians vs White Sox G1 12:10 PM: McKenzie vs Cueto
poppysox replied to Kyyle23's topic in 2022 Season in Review
I fully expect us to win the last two games in the series. That said, this game bothers me. Resting important offensive players like Eloy and Anderson when we are already missing an important player in Roberts. Keeping players well rested for the playoffs isn't going to be necessary if we don't start playing like each game matters.
