WhiteSox2023

I just got a voice in my head of Jim Ross screaming, “Oh mah gawd, it’s the frisbee, THE FRISBEE!!!”

Considering he was basically acting like the Sox were the greatest team ever when they were setting the loss record, I can only assume he will start talking about the team as a WS contender.

Cringey when he talks about the state of White Sox fandom because he crashes the parking lot tailgates before the games. Just don’t get caught eating a Poleesh on air, Schriffen-dawg…

He’ll be the third player they offer over $100 million dollars to (Machado and Wheeler?), with another team ultimately signing him to a larger contract.

If the alternative is playing Derek Hill more, I don’t see the problem. I’m sure Peters will still get playing time.

There’s truly nothing more enjoyable than a @ron883 thread. Dude is playing 4D chess with multiple troll jobs all in one thread. I even see @sin city sox fan lurking, likely impressed by @ron883’s master trolling skills. I am toasting my next Silver Bullet to both of you guys. 🍺 🍻

Agreed. Worth a try. If he performs, he plays. If he sucks, he gets DFA’ed when Pereira is healthy.

Funny how hit or miss he can be. I remember that Getz tried to get Jordan Walker from the Cardinals for Fedde but they turned him down. But the same GM takes back awful Acuna for Robert. Imagine Walker in RF and Pereira in CF right now.

Didn’t Drew Thorpe start out only needing a bone spur to be shaved down and then ended up needing TJ surgery? Seems like this happens with the Sox quite a bit.

He’s the marketing guy that Getz himself said had to help him convince Jerry to spend a $6.5 million posting fee and $38 million on Murakami.

Just keep it at one. Angels bullpen will blow it sooner or later.

He and Acuna are taking turns with it.

The Sox have done this very same BS with players in the recent past. Why give them the benefit of the doubt?

Yeah, but could you put up a .444 OPS?

As long as they keep it close. The Angels bullpen makes the Sox bullpen look good.

Playing a dude who is still injured. The White Sox way.

If you went to the Sox with a sore back they would tell you to get a chiropractor to adjust it. Their second diagnosis would be a fractured spine.

Good home-grown players nearing free agency is an excuse to always stay in rebuild mode. Rebuild mode is a good excuse to never sign top free agents, including to a contract above $75 million dollars. Both strategies works hand-in-hand and you would have to be wearing blinders not to see it. Jerry doesn’t deserve our faith or lack of cynicism.

One of these things is not like the others. But yeah, rebuilds, always rebuilds! No other reason at all… Largest White Sox contract ever = 5 / $75 million Rodon = 6 / $162 million Sale = 5 / $145 million Cease = 7 / $210 million Crochet = 6 / $170 million

One could always use the continuous rebuild excuse for a team owned by Jerry, because when players near free agency and their price tag is going to be outside of Jerry’s comfort zone, the directive is to trade them for prospects.

Did you know that Perez was signed by Atlanta to a minor league deal in the offseason. Then he was DFA’ed, went unclaimed, elected free agency, and Atlanta signed him to another minor league deal.

If you want to watch a great documentary on free solo rock climbing, The Dark Wizard on HBO is nuts. It’s a four-part series for four total hours. The last hour will air next week.

I remember some posters wanting to trade for him last year.
