More amazing to me is how many Sox fans on an internet message board think they are professional scouts.

The other spending problem is that JR does not want to spend time or energy either. Investing in a revamped analytics and development system is a foundational organizational change that I can’t imagine he’s even remotely motivated to make happen.

Sounds like Ohtani to me.

Any team that loses to the Sox gets fined $5 million dollars.

But that would require "work" on JR's part, in that he'd have to spend several minutes thinking about the next step or two.

As the old saying goes, "one man's trash is that same man's same trash why on earth is he digging through his own garbage bin"

So many great bobbleheads to collect

It’s hard to fathom that the Sox, as an organization, are in the same professional league as all these other orgs. It’s like sending a toddler to college.

How in the actual f***

Eh at this point I feel like any post can go in any thread. It’s just one big shitshow.

After that comes the uniform redesign. Something navy blue and gray and bland as hell.

Yeah, he’s generally not bad to people, unless those people happen to be Sox fans.

The White Sox are the Spirit Airlines of professional sports organizations.

That’s where I’m at. Even these idiots can stumble into a random win.

Maybe they left him at the airport while he was in the Garrett’s Popcorn line.

Anyone there just reading a book during the game?

I don’t really agree with that. Buying isn’t exactly a luxury for a lot of teams. They’re under pressure to add. And they have to compete with other buyers.

I don't think Crochet is going today.

Yup. At least they have a good track record of acquiring injured players who bounce back quickly...

Weird trade for the O’s. Is Rogers even an upgrade for them?

Bloss, Loperfido and someone named Will Wagner going back to Toronto. The Fedde deal continues to get worse. https://x.com/bnicholsonsmith/status/1818094797078614020?s=46&t=OnuOXQYd74Oi_dnfHwalAA

Personally, I’ve heard way too many past quotes from Hahn that go something like “We were waiting for the market to present itself” or whatever as a reason for not being aggressive/missing opportunities. And as a Sox fan, I’m programmed to assume history will repeat itself and/or expect the worst.

It’s at least a little funny to me that Thorpe and Kyle Hendricks got lit up on the same night.
