This game was a perfect microcosm of the season and the rot that pervades the whole organization. Just awful.

7 extra base hits in 252 PA's for Grandal
.240 slugging. That's really incredible.

Put Kopech on the 10 day IL and let Martin have one or two starts in there with the two off days.

Ceiling something like Edgar Martinez.
Probably more like Matt Holliday.
He's won me over for sure.

He was getting squeezed all night too.

Just one professional at bat would be nice.

Bad footwork from Ramirez there.

Burger has a 38.2% chance of getting a hit (according to this broadcast) when he's down 0-2 lmao
apparently he's already the greatest hitter of all-time
The last hitter for TB in the 7th had a 45% chance to reach base on a 1-2 count.

I thought that was his 3rd hitter.
BUmmer pitched to 3 in the 6th. Even if he didn't once the inning is over the pitcher doesn't have to come back the following inning no matter how many he faced in the previous inning.

Didn't Bummer have to come in for the first hitter?
No

Starting pitchers:
13 innings
2 earned runs
5 hits
17 strikeouts
7 walks
Small sample size and Tigers are meh but pretty encouraging.

Burger's swing seems really long so far this year. Obviously only two games but it seems longer than what I remember in his short time last year.

We're gonna live or die by Reylo and Velasquez aren't we?
If the Sox get Manaea that means they could have Reylo, Velazquez and Keuchel (or Kopech) all in long relief to start the season. That is probably as good or better than most teams.

Alright, if you were a GM and in desperate need of a closer, who would you rather have?
- Player A: 70.0 IP | 13.2 K/9 | 2.83 FIP | 97th % xwOBA | 2.0 fWAR | 2.62 High Lev FIP
- Player B: 59.2 IP | 15.1 K/9 | 2.43 FIP | 98th % xwOBA | 2.2 fWAR | 0.74 High Lev FIP

Probably better than that.
Better meaning lower?
I do better with the NFL in pricing free agents.

How much are guys like Marte going to cost?
$25m over 2 years with an option?
I'm assuming the Sox are not going to be in on the really big ticket guys.
-
Decline Kimbrel
Decline Hernandez
Sign Marte
Sign Escobar
Re-sign Tepera
Sign one more BP arm
QO to Rodon, which he likely declines.
Tough to say what do with the rotation past Gio, Lynn, and Cease. Probably throw a one year contract old guy into the mix and hope for the best out of meh. Not sure what else to do unless you are comfortable trading away some nice young pieces.

The 2021 White Sox couldn’t beat the 2021 Astros. Just like the 1990 bulls couldn’t beat the 1990 pistons.
More likely they are the 84 Milwaukee Bucks.

It was pretty funny when Cusack got booed mercilessly at Comiskey in 2008.
This thing is pure Southside meatball though.

They dumped on Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall right in the middle of the celebration, called them scumbags.
Bags of dicks.

40 years of blunder after blunder. Reinsdorf and Einhorn showed what classless jerks they were on the night the Sox clinched the Western Division in 1983.
I was a little kid at the time, what did he do?

I've been a fan for 40 years, but at some point I don't know how people can follow this franchise closely and consistently over time. It's extremely frustrating and often embarrassing. I didn't really watch intently from about 2012 to 2019. I got excited a bit last year with the young talent, got MLB, and was pleasantly surprised. Obviously this year has been fun, but ultimately the same old shit just more talent.
That said I am complete sucker for the Bears, I get excited every year, and they are probably even more poorly run than the Sox.

Did any press ask LaRussa why he pinch hit for Engle in the 5th? That was the first “what the fuck is he doing” moment of many today for me.
That happened in the 7th, after he didn't have anyone up in the pen to start the 5th and Houston tied the game. And then he brought in Crochet rather than Kopech, so two WFT moments before then imo. And maybe more, I don't recall.

1. Sign Rick Hahn to a long term deal.
2. Announce TLR is fully healthy and ready to roll in the Spring.
3. Announce Jerry Reinsdorf has the cardiovascular system of a 30 year old and is lookin forward to several White Sox WS championships before he turns 100.
This would be a perfect offseason imo because it would grant me license to stop caring about this sickly, broken organization and let me go root for the Guardians or something.
