NBA announced today that all Suns and Mystics games will be available on "free" over the air-TV starting with the WNBA games this summer. They'll also be streamed.
Sports may be going back to their broadcast roots.
Jerry doesn’t have a long term mindset, but the next owner should dedicate at minimum each Saturday or Sunday game each week on over the air television (WGN would be my choice).
This would give exposure to the team that no other local teams currently provide (NFL/Bears leaving soon). M
I don’t know how free TV rights for Spanish Broadcasts would impact their CSN deal, but if they aired 40-60 games on 44/60, you can help grow the Spanish speaking market, and folks can also watch in Spanish or mute and follow on radio.
The Sox lost generations of fans in the 1980s with their ill fated move to SportsVision. They can start regaining their market share of fans back over time with smart forward thinking marketing and broadcast decisions.

But the thing is Steve was probably right in his comment. Lynn really looks heavy.
15 minutes ago, chitownsportsfan said:You can't even comment on a pro athlete's weight now? Come on.
Is he any heavier than when Hahn hastily gave him his two year extension in mid July, weeks before he started having knee issues? No. He has been the same weight his entire time here.
Not saying he shouldn't lose weight, because at minimum it would elevate pressure on his knees. That said, Stone's comments weren't constructive in anyway, he was just trying to score gig points on his side hustle. It was good he was man enough to apologize publicly, and its good that he stopped trolling Sox fans on Twitter (hard to tell if he did that on his own).

Luis Robert has had 1 day off out of 27 games this April. He got a little time to sit yesterday because of the blowout, but this is a pace to play 156 games this year. Thankfully, he has no history of serious injuries where you'd worry about keeping him healthy with extra rest.
Elvis Andrus has started every game for the White Sox.
Andrew Vaughn was off in the 2nd game of the season and has played every day since. 2 of those days were at DH.
Today will be Jake Burger's 14th straight game at 3b since an off day. Thankfully again, no record of serious injury there.
If I was hired as GM March 1st, I would have been honest with the fan base about this team's prospects. I likely would have been criticized here, but the four bench players I would have brought north were Leury Garcia (Inf-OF), Billy Hamilton (OF-PR), Seby Zavala (C) and Lenyn Sosa (Inf), [Burger for Moncada IL and Romy for Anderson IL]. Even if Leury and Billy are poor hitters at this stage, they are valuable for the defense and pitching staff since they were solid defenders wherever you put them, and are among the few players who can help prevent 4-5 out innings. The Sox entire pitching staff is dying with this defense.
Even after jettisoning Abreu, the Sox are still stuck with half their starting lineup as DH only types (Sheets, Burger, Vaughn, Eloy). This drafting position choices / roster construction has been fatal to this alleged rebuild. Robert is the only positive dWAR player (0.9), several basically 0 (Vaughn, Zavala, Sheets, 10D, Moncada, Burger, Eloy) and the rest below average (Andrus, Sosa, Grandal) or abysmal (Alberto, Gonzalez and Colas).

This needs to change for a win this evening.

Tampa Bay Rays Lineup:
- 1B Y. Diaz (R)
- SS W. Franco (S)
- LF R. Arozarena (R)
- 2B B. Lowe (L)
- DH H. Ramirez (R)
- 3B I. Parades (R)
- C C. Bethancourt (R)
- RF M. Margot (R)
- CF J. Siri (R)
SP Zach Eflin (RHP) 3-0 2.81 ERA
See if I can get a win which has eluded my game threads since 2021.

I am no longer angry with how this season is going, it is what it is.
What I am angry about is that no one is being held accountable for it, and chances are no one will. Changes have to be made, not on the field, in the front office. This team has collapsed since the second half of 2021 and not a damn thing has been done about it. This is where my anger and frustration is, at a minimum Rick Hahn needs to be fired like yesterday.
It is completely unacceptable for a professional organization to allow this level of failure with no consequences. All it has done is send the message to the fans "We don't give a f*** about you." Well, f*** you too White Sox.
This needs to happen here for the rest of the season.

I’m in a very similar boat. I’ll be surprised if they win a game on this home stand. It’s a strange curiosity to see just how bad they can get before anything changes. I want to see them in the very basement with the A’s, but I fear that still won’t force JR’s hand.
Let me assert my firm belief, that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I love Hawk but circa 2015 his brain broke. Honestly if he was watching this year's team he probably would have called someone a c_nt and ruined any legacy he had.
That just happened yesterday. The "victim" is the wife of a VP within the MLB office, so the offending reporter was shitcanned by ESPN.

The good news is is they are rained out they can't lose.
I like the straight single gate entry doubleheaders like the one played last week, since Jerry must credit back parking and ticket revenue. Would prefer a rain out Saturday forcing another single gate on Sunday, but the current forecast has it flip flopped. Doesn't mean it won't change.

Kelly and Romy should have pitched the final two innings after it was 13-2. Not sure why they burned Lopez, assuming they are trying to win a game later this series.

Yeah. Like a guy who knows he won't be held accountable. So if you do what are you gonna do about it Fucking bullshitter
5 minutes ago, The Mighty Mite said:I can honestly say that all the Sox games I attended in Chicago for 47 years living up there I never ever booed the team or a player but this team really would have been the first.
I booed David Wells knocked out in the first inning vs. the Cubs in a game the Sox would come back and win in the 9th. We were far in the upper deck, but it looked to us David Wells was puking, and we assumed it could be drinking involved, so he was booed. They said he had a bad back after the game.
David was the only player I ever booed. We all booed La Russa relentlessly in 1985 and 1986,

Any reports if it was bilateral or unilateral? Did they says glutes or glute?
Here are the details from the CST story:
The pain caused by the disc radiated into Moncada’s glutes. It’s possible Moncada would need surgery after the season, but the odds are in his favor against that.
“My understanding medically is that about 80% of them, they’re able to calm down naturally and then you go on with your life,” Hahn said. “And then about maybe two out of every 10, you have to have some sort of intervention in the offseason. It’s trending the right way right now.
“Hopefully he continues to progress over these seven or eight days and have an assignment soon after.”

I almost hope we win 50 in a row just so the retconning of Rickie, who will never be a manager in mlb again, stops.
Ricky is in his 60s and set for life. Not every human being is like Jerry Reinsdorf, obsessed with sucking in every single dollar on planet Earth until the day he croaks.

That would be the kind of injury that would explain an awful lot of his 2022 performance.
He initially lingered on the roster until being placed on the IL, so my first inclination is he may have had pain, but this wasn’t formally diagnosed until the past week or two.
Would like to know if anyone asked a follow up question as to when when Yoan first exhibited symptoms and when this issue first diagnosed.

Not good! BetRivers favors Tampa Bay at -150 on the Win line. The Sox are +128 on the Win line. Those odds are pretty much the same at almost any betting site.
Wow that juice is obscene.
Old enough to have bet a nickel line in Vegas (-120 + 115) and fine through a bookie here (-120 +110).
Westgate Sportsbook typically has the best juice for gamblers in Vegas, Stardust s and Boyd were on point too back in the day. Don’t bet MGM or Ceasars.

Fire Rick Hahn
in Pale Hose Talk
Posted
"There are multiple GMs with a worse record than my tenure limited to recent MLB history, let alone four North American Sports Leagues. Obviously Soxtalk poster Chicago White Sox is a negative fan and doesn't know what he is talking about. Everybody fan I meet tells me I am awesome, as does my boss and our owner. I will continue to lead the Chicago White Sox as I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me."
