Add Colas and Andrus to opening day and we’re done improving.

Ken Rosenthal catches the horse after barn door closed

Caught the tail end of Stoney on WSCR just now. Lots of excuses (injuries) and defense of Tony.

It doesn’t even matter if he was the problem or not. Dropping him into that clubhouse at this moment in time is just ignorant of the current environment. Theres no point to it.

If he comes back, I guess I won’t have to feel sorry for him anymore. (While he collects millions ruining my team and his own health voluntarily)

Yeah, just messing with you. Generating the optimism, good ?

It?

Certainly. My point is, “ Good team on paper” is something people will still say even as they fall short of the fallacy. Its time to face tge real quality of the core. It WAS a good team on paper. Everyone better drop that, even if accompanied by the qualifiers. Stop overrating them, it wont be fixed if the perception still endured that this is a good team on paper. That’s dead. Its a mediocre team on paper.

That idea should be getting reviewed.

This may be outrageous, but maybe break up the Cuban connection formula and be more *gasp* conventional? After eons of simple ineptitude, this team has spent decades trying to avoid typical major league pathways to greatness.

We previously had some interesting notions about being above somebody else.

Don't stop….

Evidence, my dear Abreu.......

The Sox’ only problem this year is bad luck. This is fine.

That’s a fine take if you don’t consider his salary. We have already seen the White Sox hit the invisible ceiling that prevented talent from this roster. This player is a major albatross now. If someone offered pennies on the dollar, take it. Its easy to find a hired glove at third base.

I’ve been beating this drum for awhile.

Cespedes and Colas fit the bill, but the team doesn’t want to rush. Sept call ups should be happening, especially now if they had something. Rutherford has been a born AAA player. I don’t know though, a little cup of coffee for Cespedes or Colas to get their feet wet shouldn’t hurt anything.

He had a honeymoon here too didn’t he? Gotta give him credit for doing his part, and being right. I don’t necessarily mind the trade, but make a good trade. Hahn’s major league trades are usually not very impressive.

Some folks seem to be expressing that the offense should be picking up the pitching more, but the team is right about where it should be record wise in terms of ERA Vs team record. Underperformance does not appear to be the issue. This team was overrated by FO and fans alike.

If one is of the winter opinion that the FO had, that this group was already good enough to win the division, that worry seems appropriate. But that opinion was a likely mistake. They are who we didn’t think they were. If the treatment of this roster wasn’t worrying way before the season began, it should have been. Hahn was waaaaay too complacent.
