2023 Spring Training Thread
Doesn't seem unreasonable. Kind of surprising that they're taking a somewhat logical approach and tinkering, rather than taking some draconian all-or-nothing approach to a rule.

Moncada hurt during WBC
If Moncada would've peeled away to avoid a collision, this board would be giving him flack for being lazy.

Last Comiskey Documentary...
That was a wonderful documentary. some of my earliest memories are in that old park, probably from during the ‘86 or ‘87 seasons. I still have this memory of being scared at the fireworks, and I couldn’t have been more than 2 or 3.

Promotions- Bad Ideas Only
Guess-the-MRI game. Review MRI’s of soft tissue injuries from 2021-2022 Sox teams. Match the MRI to the player to receive a free voucher to the Emergency Room X-Ray machine at Rush, the official hospital of the Chicago White Sox.

Promotions- Bad Ideas Only
First 10,000 fans receive a White Sox laser pointer. Luxury Tax night - any cumulative food / drink tabs over $233 over the course of the evening get charged an additional surcharge on their bills. Bat Flip contest in the new Bud Light club (or whatever the f*** that thing is on the 500 level)

19 Bally RSN's going bankrupt, 14 MLB teams potentially affected

19 Bally RSN's going bankrupt, 14 MLB teams potentially affected
I know it's probably been answered somewhere above, but if MLB takes over distribution responsibilities for these affected teams... that still doesn't fix the fact that they're not getting the $40~$60MM from these RSN's, right?

Rodon to the Yankees, $162 million
...I would half-jokingly suggest that JR told Hahn not to offer the QO, as that would have put more pressure to spend money on draft picks with the extra 1st-rounder....

Mark Buehrle should be a Hall of Famer, says ChatGPT
To me Buehrle is in the "Hall of Very Good." He was consistent, durable, and dependable, but never stood out. The Hall, like it or not, is filled with players who had similar careers to Buehrle, with a stretch or two of dominance built in there. MB was always one of the better pitchers in the game, but rarely was he in the conversation among the best in the league for a given season.
