What is wrong with that third base coach? Ridiculous decision to send him.

I've basically said the exact same thing and yet most people on here think I'm baseball stupid.

You are crazy, sir. I don't treat anybody like trash. My criticisms of Nate were about his pitching motion and how ridiculous that was. And how as a result he was awful. The only praise I've ever received on here is that I am respectful.

I haven't predicted in a while. We're not winning this game, folks. Chalk up another L. Odds are very much against us on road in extras.

I have but I challenge you to find my posts and the tone will be respectful. I probably was 'nastier' though on Dunn and Rios. I've always questioned his ridiculous arm motion which screamed "injury."

I just read the article! Beautiful piece. Very critical of the White Sox. I applaud the author.

Acquiring Escobar appeared weird from the start. He's awful but you'd think he could play utility for a contender since he's good glove. Nice tribute video there; he must be a good guy if they made that for him.

Thing is, from my perspective it's nice to get Nate out of the Sox organization. Sox need to keep it going getting rid of lousy players/pitchers. There are many to just DFA.

Hogan is da man! Great post. There always are guys fans do this to. I am very surprised people turned on Jose. It's all about money though. Some vocal posters don't like to spend Jerry's money for some reason. Or they think saving here and there (not signing Jose) will help us sign guys like Manny. Whatever ... it's sad. Pick on somebody truly bad. Why is Jose the whipping boy? I mean I admit I was hard on Rios, but I've been pretty nice to other players.

'his bum ass' ... really? He's not a bum just because he's enconced in a slump.

Uh oh.

I'm not asking for a banning as I like ron, but if greg had started this many threads on the same issue ... buy bye for 6 months greg. I'm not going to make a comment as there are plenty of threads for me to talk about one of my fave players.

There is some evidence in the past that teams that stunk beyond belief can suddenly start winning. Though we could use some veteran additions for the mound to help this.

I disagree. Our board has been very receptive to the Sox initial pick in drafts during this tank job. I hesitated to express caution on Madrigal for instance. And Vaughn was proclaimed instant fan favorite!

small sample size since the all star break. For some reason I envision Oakland acquiring him. Didn't Semien and Phegley also rank low in advanced stat stuff? And they've been fine additions to the A's.

That would be acceptable to me. Caulfield you almost made my top three but you are a little out there sometimes.

This is a fair post I feel.

I've said in threads 3 years 39 million (as a reward for past service and penalty to cheap Jerry), but would be OK with 2 years 24 million with a club option year three for another 12 mill. Or 2 years 22 million with some incentives and a club option for year three for 11 mill. Sound good? What would it hurt? (I guess if some team will offer him 45 mill for three years my hero must go; but listening to you guys he'll never ever be worth or receive that kind of offer; hail Abreu!)

Dick Allen is on a roll on here. I'd nominate Dick as most knowledgeable fan with PTATC second and fathom third. How bout u guys do a podcast with those three. I think Dick pretty much has correct takes on what's going on with the organization and so called rebuild; I think ptatc speaks for himself re. injuries and fathom has good basic knowledge. How bout u hold a podcast with the big three of soxtalk?

I think we know why. A four-letter word called 'tank.'

Thank goodness. Sounds like Reed should play independent ball or head to Japan. Glad he's gone. No need for him in our lineup ever.

First I didn't know what it's about. It's also the time of year of NFL training camps, of talking about expanded rosters, of kids going back to school, etc. Secondly I like to read people's opinions on all topics. I like reading opinions of people who disagree with me and I an open to all forms of opinions and revelations. I just shouldn't respond and I won't in this thread. I will read it but no posts after this one. Thank u.

Great reminder fathom! Will help me avoid getting suspended! Thank u sir and I mean it sincerely. Is there anyway to pin fathom's post somewhere as a reminder?

Well, those guys I mentioned are the guys that are going to have to win pennants via the rebuilt roster. Collins is part of it and Rutherford is part of it to go with all those other guys who are all projected to be all stars. So what's left is the rotation and bullpen. To those who would disagree with me, I'd say what next then? Do you agree this lineup is it for the contendening years perhaps with the exception of Rutherford? Timmy leadoff followed by Moncada, Robert, Eloy, Abreu, Vaughn, Rutherford (or new RFer), Collins (McCann backup catcher) and Madrigal. We have enough power with Eloy, Abreu, Vaughn Moncada, Robert. Pretty good infield defense. Probably subpar outfield defense; good catching. But pitching? What's Hahn gonna do? Do we have enough for 2020 to win it? Gio, Lopez, Kopech and Cease with a FA. Are they good enough? Colome and Bummer enough to anchor a winning pen? I see no reason to make excuses for 2020. Can't Hahn engineer a good offseason of tinkering to put us at 90 wins finally??? How long do we gotta wait for my above mentioned players to gel?

I guess I am out of touch. I did not know about ghosting.
