We’ll see what they get and what actually makes sense. What other players are you referring to? Side note, would we be out of the inning if not for that shift?

Anderson and Abreu?

Like what? I see a bat being dealt for a starting pitcher.

That missed opportunity by the offense with a runner at third hurt. I’m guessing McKenzie is out if he gets in trouble after one batter next inning?

Looking at the box score, Giolito sucks. Good thing they didn’t give him a deal. Now add a starting pitcher to a shopping list. Two of them because Cueto isn’t a long term solution.

This is not a winning strategy. Any good owner would realize this and fire the GM or at least the manager, but this is the White Sox, led by Jerry Reinsdorf.

When they went up 3-1 I thought, okay, maybe they’ll get to the bridge and make it another save for Hendriks. Then things fell apart and they didn’t get a home run. I switched to an episode of Seinfeld. It ended and I saw they were down 8-3. I said, “good move” to myself and went to bed. This team is so damn predictable it isn’t even funny…and I am the idiot who paid for tickets for next Tuesday night’s game. At least the tickets 17 rows behind the dugout cost $50 on StubHub instead of $78 on whitesox.com.

Do we know when Anderson got hurt, or if he’s had this injury for an extended period of time?

If I remember correctly, don’t some of those professional jobs require professional degrees here too? The most ridiculous part about protecting minimum wage jobs from immigrants is that there are jobs they take that other people will not take. So the anti immigration folks don’t have lots to stand on with their arguments. Use a guest worker program in the way you describe and see what happens to the economy. Like it or not, they will be the minority over time.

Lol wow. Is this why Cease and Graveman won’t get the vaccine?

Just got a great deal on StubHub for the Houston/Sox game on 8/16. Section 139, row 17, seats 7-8 for $81. Normally are $78 apiece. At least I’ll see a World Series contender live. The tickets were $47 before the game started. I waited and they went down $8. Niceee

Shaved > untamed forest

At baseball? Yes. For his music videos? No.

I have officially turned on CFL football.

Yep. He’s under contract so as long as he keeps hitting, he can fuck off and be DH. Stop bringing the strippers to TLR’s office.

Water carrier and keyboard warrior.

Well Eloy can fuck off. He’s under contract and his injury history suggests he shouldn’t play in the field. They aren’t part of the problem but they have value, the other two do not.

Where does Vaughn play?

I always thought they should deal one of Jimenez, Vaughn or Sheets…and maybe Moncada. They needed to deal one of those guys to bring in some different talent if they aren’t going to sign anyone.

How about this lineup? Anderson - SS Robert - CF Jimenez - DH Abreu - 1B Vaughn - LF Pollock - RF Zavala - C Harrison - 2B Moncada - 3B

They got paid and their deals are guaranteed. Many don’t appear to give a shit about winning.

If TLR didn’t have a new lineup every game, maybe they would be incrementally better. He can claim he is following the data to make different decisions but sometimes consistency is a good thing.

If Grandal or Moncada could hit the way they have hit in any of the good years they have had, this team would be incrementally better. They might even hit more home runs.

If the Sox make it to the playoffs, they will get into a hole like tonight and not come back while the other team adds on.

If you get beyond the politics of this article, it brings up some good points about immigration. I wonder if more immigration to take some of the less than desired and also skilled labor would help some some of our economic issues and cut down inflation. It’s too bad that immigration is a wedge issue and not one that both parties want to solve since it would strengthen our economy. More immigration, less inflation
