South Side Hit Men

The Rick Hahn Era 2013-2022 Colorado Rockies (NL West) 678-781 .465 (Playoff Appearances 2, Series Record 0-2) Chicago White Sox (AL Central) 670-786 .460 (Playoff Appearances 2; Series Record 0-2)

Carlos Rodon is available. His second half collapse has been greatly exaggerated. 7 IP 2 H 0 BB 10 K Record through tonight 9-6 3.00 ERA 3.7 fWAR before tonight's Fangraph update, likely 1st or 2nd in pitcher fWAR across The MLB.

Hahn is going to Hahn.

If the Sox were really "aggressive", they would be discussing Pablo Lopez with the Marlins for Eloy and others. Would be a huge win, clear up a portion of our DH logjam, and lock up an outstanding pitcher over the next 3 1/3 seasons.

He may be able to DH, and I like the idea of having an actual starting RF for the first time since Avisail Garcia, and not watching Hahn sign Jake Lamb or Nick Markakis as his RF solution this offseason. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/right-field/ 0% on Judge, so Robbie Grossman and Nimmo are your two options beyond promoting Colas after two months of AA or a trade Hahn is likely to lose.

They really need to shut down the entire station. It's absolutely worthless.

I love the idea of a six man rotation through Labor Day. Assuming all remain healthy, break it down to five man on Labour Day and transition your preferred long man option for October into the bullpen. Sox were on fumes in September / October the past two seasons. Several teams are going six man, makes sense with the weird past three (2 1/2) seasons.

White Sox not listed among the teams interested in Joey Gallo. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/brewers-padres-rays-interested-in-joey-gallo.html Apparently, DHs, 1B and LFers are the only players Hahn is interested in playing RF for the White Sox since 2020.

Tony La Russa as Snidely Whiplash - Yes, let's give Oakland a fair chance since we have such a dominant SP advantage. Hopefully, Tony will keep dabbing and the Sox win 10-1.

Sounds like Shane Riordan's burner account. #BoycottScore

Light it up! Nice to get a win on Minnie Minoso Day!

Ever try 3 Sheeps out of Sheboygan? They have a solid lineup.

6 seasons. 132 Games, 0 HR, 6 RBI, .542 OPS.

Twitter, i.e. my White Sox broadcast.

Ditto Red Auerbach & Scotty Bowman.

Another LHP, interesting.

Neither did Earl Weaver. PS - Leury is a first ballot unanimous HOF compared to La Russa's career.

Security harassing elderly fans isn't helping, either.

I was told he is elite. I hope he gets a two year extension like Lynn.

Sox got a call back on that one. EDIT: Doesn't matter.

Is someone warming up for Oakland? Why the Puk would they bring a LHP to face the heart of the lineup?

He has the flu or worse. Chillin in Charlotte. My open question which still hasn't been asked by the media (that I've seen) is where the hell is Engel? He started Tuesday this week, and played 2 innings late Wednesday. His lone purpose on this club is to serve as the only qualified backup to Robert on this team. If he can't do that, IL or DFA him and trade for Billy Hamilton.

With Tony and Hahn, looking at $500M to play it safe and clinch an 85 win season and the AL Central.
