8.30.20 GT | Royals @ Sox | 1:10PM CT
Why is Grandal hitting third? Is it possible that we have someone better suited for the job than the .225 hitter?

Realistic trade candidates AKA The Lynnsanity Thread
I would not trade Vaughn for anything. Stiever, Adolfo, Dunning, and anyone else I would trade almost at will.

Sox vs KC 8/29 game thread 1:10 first pitch
I disliked the Yas signing when it happened. He makes McCann ride the bench and he puts together a ton of shitty ABs. Totally overrated.

Sox vs KC 8/29 game thread 1:10 first pitch
Why is Yas hitting third? Dude is not a third hitter on any team, much less this team. We have several different better options. Bat him 7th.

Sox vs KC 8/28 game thread 6:10 first pitch
Fuck, McCann would have run out there and tagged Franco out himself!

Sox vs KC 8/28 game thread 6:10 first pitch
Well, I wouldn't have pitched to Gordon, but that was luck on Ricky's part.

He's out at second, but Grandal can fuck right off this team.

Zack Collins to ATS, Madrigal recalled from IL
Funny thing where some of our backups are playing so well that maybe White Sox: Fully Loaded Edition isn’t the best one. There’s a weird concept for us after the last few years: good players...on the bench!

So we finally get the fully loaded lineup tonight??????

Sox vs Pittsburgh 8/26 game thread 1:10 first pitch
Even the bad Sox teams of the past few years had exciting players. There were too many innings where I felt like taking a nap or running to the store, but there were still at bats and starts that I had to see. Closest the Pirates have to that is, what, Polanco? Yuck.

I think this Pirates team might be the worst I’ve ever seen the Sox play. Worse than the ‘03 Tigers.

Welcome back, 2018 Yoan.

At this point, walking José Abreu in the top of the ninth in a tie game with the bases juiced is an easy decision.

White Sox Winner!
Thanks, COVID quarantine, for giving me the time to learn exactly what that goofy combination of letters and numbers means. When I get out of my current positions in the next month or so, I’m gonna load up on ITM AAPL LEAPs. Sep 2022 or so. Cheap after the split!

8-22 GT: Sox @ Cubs (7:15pm)
I'd really like if someone put together a rollup of our recent HR stats. 29 in 8 games, I think? Average exit velo? Launch angle? Runs scored on bombs? Etc.

8-22 GT: Sox @ Cubs (7:15pm)
I laughed. And yeah, it's not a performance metric, but part of this is entertainment. Watching Reynaldo throw three balls over the course of three minutes is not entertaining.

8-22 GT: Sox @ Cubs (7:15pm)
I was never talking about this one game, but sure, carry on.

8-22 GT: Sox @ Cubs (7:15pm)
Dude, his peripherals were shit in 2018, his "good year". He was openly shit last year. He got wrecked in his first start this year. He has a seeming tendency to pitch while hurting rather than telling someone, like an adult. His pace is slow so he's excruciatingly boring to watch. This isn't a new thing. This isn't today. Reynaldo Lopez is a poor MLB pitcher.
-
8-22 GT: Sox @ Cubs (7:15pm)
Right. There's no other evidence that the guy sucks, at all.
-
8-22 GT: Sox @ Cubs (7:15pm)
Reylo sucks, but Eloy needed to catch that.
-
8-22 GT: Sox @ Cubs (7:15pm)
It. Was. A. Trade.

ReyLo to start Saturday
My job has me so lost about what day of the week it is, I first thought, “Who do we play on Saturday? Is that one of the games vs. the Pirates? Maybe that could work?” Oh. No. Today is Saturday. ReyLo vs the Cubs. Why, God? WHY????

8-21 GT: Sox @ Cubs (7:15pm)
Last six games, we've outscored our opponents 47-11 and outhit them 63-34.

I don't usually care for Benetti, but, "Just what you need when you're down 8-0- a face burger" made me genuinely LOL.

8-21 GT: Sox @ Cubs (7:15pm)
I think Eloy hit that farther than Yas.
