Anyone remember when golden boy Ricky Hahn picked Moncada over Devers in his Sale package?
I sure do. 😆
I remember he asked for Devers and the Red Sox said no, but believe what you want.

What a great discussion about the game. It's really unbelievable your fascination with the broadcast booth.
We get it, you could do a better job so there no need to keep bringing it up over and over and over and over.

The real issue is development. They same to have no shortage of dumb baseball players.
Spot on.....I watched my two grandsons playing a game Tuesday night and they both made the same play that Sheets made trying to catch the ball going to the second baseman when they were suppose to be covering first. Only difference is they are only 5 and 6 years old.

Yes. I bet you Sammy Sosa wouldn't get recognized. Ernie Banks' ghost might be mistaken for an usher.

You are the one who just bashed everyone on this site for their opinions. By the way, it’s “you’re” and “know-it-alls”.
“I would say most of SoxTalk hates him mainly because your all a bunch of no-it-alls.“
Nothing worse then someone pointing out typos's on a message board. I'm sure you have had a few, but really who cares. Get a life.

We ain't takin' that. No we ain't taking that A-train. I don't care how many L's we got. I actually like Southside Staaaaaaaaaaaaand up, if it's used correctly. He had another where he imitated a slot machine. I thought that was pretty good too. But there is too much amateurish stuff going on here, and it seems to me he had no idea who or what the White Sox were or are until he was contacted for an interview.
I respect your opinion and I'm sure he was hired on the cheap, but he's just a sideshow. The game on the field is what matters, not what's said in the booth. Target JR, Pedro, and the players but do we really need to argue over what an announcer says. Same thing happened with Benetti, and everyone who now says Hawk "told it like it is" I'd like to go back through the years and see how many people complained about Hawk.
It's not like Harry Carry and Jimmy Piersall didn't say or do anything stupid. If our current announcer made a habit of pronouncing players names backwards game after game this board would show no mercy.
I've said this before, if the team was good the announcers wouldn't even be given a second thought.
JR, not the announcers should be the target for hiring an incompetent GM, Manager, scouts, Player Development coaches, training staff, and announcers and stringing us along for 43 miserable years of mostly unwatchable baseball.

It’s no one’s job on here to be a sports broadcaster (except maybe @Lip Man 1?). That doesn’t mean people can’t assess Schriffen for his absolute suckitude at the job.
The Sox aren’t in first place because they have a garbage owner. The same terrible owner who picked a “yes men” like Schriffen to be the Sox new broadcaster.
Yes, we as Sox fans can hate both the team and the new broadcaster because they both fucking suck.
I hope you have a good day, being angry and disgruntled constantly is no way to get through life.

Game at GRF early this season when Soroka was on the mound: "He's a flyball pitcher which is a good thing."
HUH?
Maybe the wind was blowing in that day?

He was definitely getting roped hard and he was lucky to give up only one run. But it’s Chris Flexen and you take that start from him all day long. Stone blaming the delay for getting him out of his groove was lame. Dude has a 5+ ERA, Stone Pony…
You really are clueless. Yes, the rain delay took him out of his groove. Happens all the time in baseball if you were paying attention instead of focusing on the announcers.

They have to move on from him after this season. The fan base mostly hates him.
I would say most of SoxTalk hates him mainly because your all a bunch of no-it-alls. Not a one of you could announce a game any better. He's a new announcer on the worst team in baseball what would you like him to talk about? Maybe he could start with we suck but that wouldn't really go over to well with his boss. Really, who the F cares, If the Sox were in first place no one would be talking about the announcers.
People here tend to pick on the weakest and give him a full dose of Chicago hate for no reason other than our team sucks and we have to complain about everything.
So long SoxTalk I've had enough talk about announcers the last two years.

Tarp beast claims another victim. I don't think Schriffen has seen it happen before.
Can't remember seeing it before myself, does that make me a bad announcer?

Robert is apparently ready. He was hitting a sizzling .100 with 2 hits in 20 at bats in Charlotte.
Gotta rush him up so he can play against the Cubs was probably influenced by JR constantly asking the trainers "will he be ready for the Cubs series", like it really matters anymore to us Sox fans, but JR thinks the season can be salvaged if we happen to beat the Cubs.

Holy s%*#, just play Oscar Colas.
Put Julks in LF, Pham in CF, and Colas in RF and let it rip, can't be any worse and the defense would improve with 3 actual outfielders that can catch and throw.

2-0 and does that. Eloy can leave too.
I said earlier between Sheets, Eloy, and Vaughn one has to go.
Let me rethink that.....ALL 3 NEED TO GO.

There's the sidearm throw from Ramos.

Not a fan of Eloy, most of his HR's come with no one on. Can't seem to deliver in the clutch.
