We’re back to fun bad 🍾👏

What earthly reason is that feeble old geezer hanging on for?

I can’t say I have a strong feeling about how this turns out, but I’ was super willing to sacrifice Acuna in order to stick Robert back in CF, and roll the dice on a better deadline acquisition. A chance of missing out on Acuna is supposed to be a reason to rush this?

“The South Siders preferred Acuña to Vientos since they weren’t looking for a hit-first righty batter,” Heyman reported” The Sox wanted a switch hitter, not a dang righty batter

It’s just lame

This is fine

It would be Dotson Baumgarten Burns Trout (and Hoyt!) 👀 No, yeah. If not for the injury risks, the discussion would be more challenging. But considering that the Sox have a tough time importing/paying expensive pitching staffs, a rare opportunity to get all 4 young starters on the same cheap financial basis is interesting

Kinda. But then you’re looking at Charlotte having 3/5 of a MLB rotation in a set. I can see the temptation of finishing it off with the 4th.

Normally I would say it is something a young guy should be given time to embrace. But either you have it or you don’t. There must be a reason he didn’t play the position. He is well suited physically.

You parachute in carpetbagging, and the first thing you do is shame the locals. The wound is simply never going to heal. Especially while saying doofus stuff like Southside Samurai.

Now i feel better

It figures the White Sox finally bottom out properly in this era of the new draft rules. Oof.

By the way, “South Side Samurai”. Cringe.

It reminds me of Frank Thomas knocking down infielders with singles.

I’m just gonna worry about how Mune, the Montgomerys, guys like Meidroth, Antonacci and the Charlotte pitchers. JRs medical reports. None of the rest of this matters. Along those lines, things are going according to plan for the most part. I will choose to be happy!

Not sure if serious 🤔

No. It’s Barry Bonds

Old men don’t change. Let alone 90 year old men

Evolution implies change, correct

Obviously, small sample size. But the big effort to systematically destroy this specific problem has not been realized, yet. We don’t want to jump to any conclusions. It’s just funny that the issue is still front and center. I’d like to know if the entire organization has or will made progress that still eludes the big club.

But I thought Getz had a plan for this …. https://x.com/jaycuda/status/2038078447721783577?s=46&t=22aFiUEgiqWsYoBsa6otqg

Hold onto, or a winner trade ticket!
