One thing I love about the O's today...their uniforms! Other than that...lets get after them!

Agree...this one is complicated and over the top...EVEN if all of this was consensual (which...I am struggling to believe)! He might have been trapped...but if what we have read is true about his actions...yikes! I don't think I could cheer for that guy even if he was on my team!

Agree...Gary Thorne was very good when he was with the White Sox for a short time! Too bad for him it was right before the White Sox renaissance (1988 or 1989?)!

Agree...but I wanted to reply to say I LOVE YOUR USERNAME!!!

Man...this is a tough situation! I have no idea legally what is happening...and I have been one of those who think what happens in a bedroom that is consensual is private and fine! However...if this is what it takes for Trevor Bauer to get his rocks off...yikes! This story is scary from a lot of different angles!

Just seems to be a guy born to play baseball!

Agree...that was a heckuva play by the O's 3B!

And he didn't get it done...ugh!

At the very least I hope advances the runners!

I will say this...while that game will be of interest for some pretty cool reasons...there are much bigger things to focus upon when lining up the rotation!

This! I think it just might be time to start working Kopech into the rotation! I know the fears...but at some point Kopech needs be in the rotation!

So...McCarthy seems to support the automated strike zone...right? Based off that one tweet...

Do you think it was Renteria's plan in game 3? Or Cooper's and Renteria went with it? Personally I feel that the (mis)management of the pitching staff had to be more than just those two making that decision. Hahn had to approve of it right? The one thing for certain after that game was that Dunning was gone no matter what! No way he stays in the organization after doing that to him!

This is great! Best broadcasting duo will get even better!

The way the 6 out stint played out it seems OK and it also seemed like for whatever reason they were trying to find a spot to get him more than an inning? Maybe way off base but it felt like the staff wanted Hendriks to throw a bit more than usual?

Agree. And other than taking time to evaluate how Eloy feels after playing a day or two...what is the difference (other than talent level of opposition) between playing in the Bigs or the minors? So if he is ready to play in the minors...it will be a short stint and if he is healthy he will be up soon! I would guess in 2 weeks!

Thanks for having me! Been a fun spring/summer following the White Sox! Lets keep it rolling!!

Yeah...the entire body of work is hard to argue against...but he has had some head-scratching moments...some caused all by himself! Purposely? Maybe but we will never know! I was 100% against the hiring of TLR...but I hope he manages us to a WS victory in October!

That is a great quote!

Thanks for having me on the board...I really enjoy talking White Sox baseball!

I hear ya! I can't hear that name without getting sick to my stomach! UGH!

The thing about Renteria is tough. An organization should do what they think puts them in the best position in which to win! It hurts sometimes when a person (seemingly a very good person) such as Renteria is let go and kind of used as a scapegoat. That said...playoff game 3 in the A's series was an absolute nightmare (I am new here so maybe I am weighing on something that could make people mad at me) on the pitching side! Whoever came up with the idea for that strategy of pulling Dunning immediately is nuts! I really don't think it was Renteria's but he must have signed off on it...or was told to! Anyway...I think he is a good guy for any clubhouse...but maybe not the right personality for the "big chair". I was 100% against the hire of TLR...but results will speak volumes and so far it has been tough to be critical of TLR when looking at the entire body of work.

Thanks! I have tried to wait patiently for my account to be activated! Been a White Sox fan since my first game at Comiskey Park in the late 70s!

I swear that is a name we have all read since he was in the minors that seemed destined to end up in the White Sox organization! Seems like time is running out if that is ever to happen...wouldn't rule it out but it sure wouldn't cost much to get him!

This very well may be true...but so what! LOL...just happy to be in 1st or at least in contention at the All-Star break! Way too many seasons in my fandom when this wasn't the case!
