Or do not make contact….

You forgot Zach Collins another catching failure, and a first rounder.

Too bad the Sox had such a terrible start, and they felt they needed to trade Cease. Otherwise imaging having two big stoppers leading the league in strikeouts, probably the best 1-2 pitching combo in MLB.

Is he Cuban?

If there is a consolation on Maldonado hitting below .100, and establishing the Maldonado line, Yasmani Grandal is hitting below the Maldonado line with the Pirates. Last night he was at .092.

You are right. JR is pretty much destroying the Sox brand. It is not cool anymore to wear a Sox cap. IMO.

Sox this season do not have a stopper like Cease so it is hard to go on a winning streak or avoid losing streaks. IMO. Cease did a number without Vaseline to the Cubs yesterday , with a combined 1 hit shutout and 12Ks. Hope we got a worthwhile return for him from the Padres.

Grade: F-. Only winner is JR with a reduced payroll, and enjoying MLB revenue sharing regardless.

I would like to add that Maldonado is the closest to an automatic out in MLB. When they want to speed a game, just bypass his turn and add an out to the inning.

Maldonado 9 for 91, unveiling the new Maldonado line of .100, to go along with the better Mendoza line of .200. Hard to explain why Getz expected a better batting average from Maldonado , and on a team that needs more offense. Fortunately, some of our hitters have been improving and the pitching has been good lately. We may not lose 120 games anymore.

Too bad there is no relegation in MLB.

3-18. Shut out 7 times in first 19 games, most in123 years. 45 runs in 21 games. 2 or fewer runs in 14 games. Last in all major offensive categories in MLB. And having the chutzpah of promoting a new stadium. What a major embarrassment this is. Change is urgently needed. As we can’t fire the whole team, start with firing Grifol, with Getz on deck. Need to shake this tree.

Can we relegate this team to the minors? At least, games should be more competitive.

Even then we need a better drafting performance than in the past few years choosing first rounders like Zach Collins, Vaughn, Madrigal and others.

He is filling the void left by Moncada with unconventional equipment colors with the same goofy results.

Still better than Vaughn.

Wish they had traded the listless Vaughn instead.

This team is one of the worse offensive teams ever assembled in MLB. Shame on KW/Hahn/Getz,/JR.

Jesse Rogers of ESPN is predicting the Sox to lose 120 games this season, matching the infamous 1962 Mets. How low can we go? Shameful

At the same time, attendance will drop at home and on the road. Not many will want to watch a AAA team at best with MLB pricing.

Should have kept Burger rather than Vaughn. But that would have been too smart for our inept FO.

On top of that, Royals swept the Sox this weekend.

He was also happy with the second coming of LaRussa, which turned into a disaster.

White Sox offense has been anemic so far. Much worse than last season. Getz off season acquisitions were mostly older journeymen. Batting averages so far: Pillar, Grossman and Maldonado .000 Fletcher .125 DeJong .143 Nicky Lopez .167 on top of the inherited multimillion dollar man Benintendi hitting .107 leading off. White Sox management/coaching team should be embarrassed. How long do the fans have to wait for a change?

White Sox management/coaching team should be embarrassed with the product they are putting out there. The off season acquisitions have been awful. How long do the fans have to wait for a change?
