Retractable roof stadiums too often feel like fully enclosed domes. I really like how Miller Park/American Family Field has the windows in both left and right field. It really opens it up.

Now this is committing to the bit

I get it, but that makes me worry that there will now be threats to him and his family. Just perpetuating repulsive behavior.

Absolute stud

Who was the last home grown hitting prospect that turned into a decent major leaguer? TA?

This sounds like something from a Jay Leno tonight show monologue

IMO they should simply build around guys who get on base, make good swing decisions, have speed, have power, play great defense, and have impeccable baseball IQ, coachability and work ethic. Not really sure what they’re waiting for.

He just got ejected like a week ago

If it were truly moot, there’d be no point in paying any attention to the team until then, yet here we all are anyway.

Yes

Well that’s me, so yeah.

I would absolutely love a book and/or documentary on the 2019-2024 Chicago White Sox.

Okay so then something worse than a lottery ticket, which further emphasizes my point.

While I don’t think they’ll get anything interesting for him, I can understand better teams preferring to acquire him for a lottery ticket prospect later in the season when they’re ready for him to eat innings rather than signing him earlier and clogging up a roster spot when the need might not be as critical.

I understand the concept of needing a body on the pitching side. You need guys to eat innings. But finding yourself in a position where you “need a body” at first fucking base is so pathetic.

One question I have with regards to Ryan Noda is “WHY?”

Anyone remember HorseMasterFred?

10 homers isn’t that many. It just feels like a lot because that’s how bad the team is.

He does not care

Sure, because constantly hearing positive things about a 95 win team is based in reality and not trying to sell a shitty product.

I can’t believe there’s still two more years on Benintendi’s contract AFTER this year. It feels like he’s already been here for 9 years.

For the not hustling part for sure, but threatening the manager feels a little out of character for those guys.

You think they’re trying to justify the $1 million combined that Capra and Noda are making?

None of us know if that’s all Venable or if he’s receiving direction from Getz. And if it is Venable, Getz has done nothing to override those decisions. Thats all to say that I’m willing to give Venable some benefit of the doubt, but Getz not so much.

Obviously Getz. What does that have to do with Venable?
