Another bad loss. Another embarrassing announcer moment. He did the growl after Robert's catch in CF. Sad the Sox have a bush league announcer when I'm sure there are tons of classy able announcers doing minor league games who could come up. Poor Stoney has to be lumped in with that play by play guy. The growl is not good, Minnie loves piling up wins vs the White Sox. Helps them stay in contention every year.

Too bad they can't trade Beni and let Julks play every day. In this lost season it'd be great to dump Beni on a contender with money who needs a part-time outfielder. Funny how everybody just assumes we'll have Beni til his contract runs out. Why can't Getz get a deal done to dump him? Help a little on the contract with the new team. You still come out on top in that scenario. But I guess Jerry won't allow any money to be paid to a guy not stinking it up for the Sox. Sad we can't dump Beni on somebody and play Julks or Colas.

Hey Lip. Do all small market teams operate the way the Sox do? I don't pay enough attention. Do the small market teams have to get rid of all their good players trying to get 3-4 good prospects? Then when those prospects get good trade them for 3-4 more? Weird the commish allows one set of teams to operate one way and the also rans operate another way.

Stoney worded that kind of weird. I love Stoney but tell us what you mean by changes. Changes in coaching staff? Changes in ownership? Changes in the players? Weird post.

We may be former true blue fans but now because of reaching the final straw I want us to lose every game to embarrass Jerry more and more.

How do we know which players are being developed for the Sox and how many for other teams with this weird desire to trade everybody? Would be nice to know who we are developing guys for. A lot of people want to trade Crochet and Robert. I don't think the front office is that dumb to trade two outstanding prospects.

You are a great fan, Falstaff. Many Sox fans are just sick of all the losing and have either lost interest or been critical of the inept organization.

Didn't somebody say the Sox had somebody in the minors who was pretty good? I'd personally hire some older baseball guy not married to metrics but has a good feel for baseball. And somebody with an edge. You know my choice is Ozzie but if we can't have him, maybe a Dusty Baker or Ned Yost. Ned might do it if we make it worth his while. Oops I forgot. Jerry won't pay up. What about Ozzie with Robin as his bench coach? Robin can keep him in line if he gets mouthy. By the way did anybody see Bill James' twitter (X) rant about advanced metrics ruining the game? And he's the one who started Sabes. By the way if the Sox aren't going to try to field a decent team, they could even sign AJP to a two year managerial deal. If the Sox won't pay a proven stud at least make it fun like Veeck did. Kessinger is younger than Biden and Trump both. A second chance for Don?? Peace out. Oz for president.

I've said all along the team will be much worse in 2025 once all our pitchers are dealt. And when Robert is dealt. Getz is going to have to fill a roster again this December with clones of Lopez just to make sure we have enough MLB-ready players to field a team.

This post is endorsed by the great and powerful Wizard of Oz (lover). It's endorsed by greg. I'd imagine some fans who read this post think I have an account named "striker." Nope. ... See, other people do think like greg. I endorse your post!!

Me. The timing of that trade stunk and trading Burger during a season in which he led the team in HRs and was blasting them at a good rate was disappointing. He crushed that ball today. That HR was actually legendary. Against former team which walked the previous hitter off a guy that throws as hard as anybody in Sox history. Hilarious.

Another excellent post. I love me some Pham but your post said it all.

Amen. These players and manager should be called out on a daily basis by fans and media. It's Jerry's fault. Only he could create a team that is this bad.

I disagree. I used to agree with that assertion until the Sox decided to have a roster full of unlikeable players. We have one likeable player in Crochet. Robert is not yet in the likeable category after pulling that stunt in cf the other day to go with his ultra low batting average and penchant for multi-strikeout games when he's not on.

Just caught up on my box score and game wrap. Another lol moment with the Sox. Burger couldn't have hit that ball any harder. I'm actually so happy he hit that bomb off Kopech. See Jerry, I know you don't care one iota, but here's a lifelong Sox fan thrilled we lost cause Burger hit the bomb. Burger ... a fan favorite who should never have been traded. Yoan shoulda been traded not Burger to go. If somebody wanted to rip the team that acquires Kopech ... there's a pretty good highlight reel of blown saves and monster hits off him somebody could put together. Kopech is no reliever. If any team wants him as a reliever that team has rocks for brains. He needs to be reinvented as a starter ASAP. And work on ball movement on his fastball and a great secondary pitch. Still can't believe the Sox blew another lead today.

That's one of the problems. We don't know their plan. They actually have a good rotation for the future in Fedde, Crochet, Thorpe and Kopech. Sign a couple real relievers and their staff next season is contention worthy. But they won't explain their strategy. Are they trading Croche, Fedde and Kopech and maybe Tharpe even? If that's the plan then 45 wins is the plan for 2025. Tell us the plan White Sox.

I think some of you guys who think the Sox are gonna get a delightful haul of future stars/contributors for Crochet and Robert are gonna be disappointed. I don't think contenders are gonna 'need' to acquire either guy. It's not like we're talking Koufax and Willie Mays here. They are very good players. Let's see what Getz can get, lol.

The Sox deserve the negative comments. They've left their fans NOTHING to discuss during a season from hell except for the 2-5 people who love tank jobs and rebuilds. Maybe love is too strong a word but pardon those of us who don't follow tank/rebuilds. We want wins ASAP.

Looks like a boring loss from the box score and game wrap. Crochet only went 4? Weird.

Also Robert's catch saved the victory. He's doing well.

Somebody named greg has been saying similar things. Time to adjust the tank/rebuild just a bit. Tinker time baby.

Thorpe ... excellent performance as our starters continue to approach true mediocrity or B- status. Sox starters ... Something to build on.

How was attendance during the tank years? That's disappointing to me even if he's dynamite.

I wish I was a hockey fan and could examine how the Blackhawks are trying to turn it around now that they have Bedard. Think about if they had our philosophy. They'd trade him for two studs and five No. 1 draft picks. Apparently they see value in the star cause I haven't heard of him being on the block. You could say he is the Hawks version of Crochet/Robert. ... And how are the Bulls rebuilding? They don't seem to care much about signing stars: oh wait, doesn't Jerry own that team, too? Ugh, what a lost summer.

My problem is I don't like or endorse No. 3. I do appreciate your position but I don't like it.
