Not surprising. He was a top prospect for a New York team. They tend to be overhyped. Regardless, the Cubs got him for the rotting overpaid corpse of Javy Baez when his contract was expiring. It was one of the best trades in recent history.

You can’t make SlamBall jams if you are standing down.

Maybe it’s a configuration option that was defaulted to off after the upgrade?

We can see the little person icons but they are grayed out and unclickable for us peasants.

Unfortunately, I’m aligned. It’s one thing to lose a single game, but they literally got blown out with their best starter on the mound. Their best starter who is far and away better than the rest of their weak rotation, so it’s likely only going to get worse from here. One could argue that the Sox lineup unfortunately had to face a stud in Misiorowski, but while they only had 2 hits against him in 5 innings, they only had 2 more hits against the Brewers bullpen in 4 more innings. Regardless, Getz’s lineup racked up 20 freaking strikeouts on opening day. That’s something that has never happened before in MLB history. So Getz continues to add to his list of bad MLB records, after his impressive single season loss record in 2024. Jerry won’t fire him but I can’t wait until Ishbia takes over and does what any owner with a brain would do and end this front office madness.

Jerry learned how to manipulate the system when he worked for the IRS early on in his career.

Orioles sent INF/OF Bryan Ramos outright to Triple-A Norfolk.

With hindsight, at this point, Roman Anthony shouldn’t have been out of the discussion. Oh well, it is what it is.

You are correct. Unfortunately, it doesn’t even matter. An investment in almost any professional sports team is a great investment, and time simply passing by makes it even better, even with barely any team success. Jerry and his investment group paid $19 to $20 million for the Sox in 1981. No matter how much he fucks up going forward, he still can’t lose overall.

The Sox really suck at injury reporting and injury timelines. From bone chips to TJ surgery to even more time out.

At this point, even Winkelman González needs to turn into a quality reliever or backend starter to make it a decent trade. 🤣

Just saw the news… White Sox placed RHP Drew Thorpe on the 15-day injured list following Tommy John surgery. Thorpe underwent Tommy John surgery a year ago and had a little bump in the road in dealing with tendinitis earlier this spring. Still, he’s been throwing regularly this month and could go on a rehab assignment in the coming weeks.

Only 80 pitches as well.

Big deal… I heard Schriffen is going into the SlamBall Announcing Hall of Fame next month.

I laughed my ass off when Steve Stone mentioned Judge having a bad game to excuse most of the Sox lineup. I didn’t realize we had any RotY winners with 7 All-Star appearances, 3 MVP Awards, while nearing 400 career homers. Stone Pony is an annoying shill at this point.

Yep, he’ll get a shot as well and it won’t be pretty. Too many hits, too many walks, and too many meatballs.

Just wait until Thorpe gets back in the rotation. Meatball city will become moonshot city.

What billionaire doesn’t want to keep making money? It’s simply how they are wired. Also, his ego doesn’t help. Jerry actually thinks he’s good at sports ownership because of Jordan and one Sox World Series 21 years ago.

You’re right. I don’t see why they really needed Peters on the roster.

I don’t. He should be but he won’t, unless Ishbia somehow takes over by the end of this year.

He’s been saying that every year of his tenure, and I’m sure he will be saying it in the future as well.

And if anyone thinks you are being overdramatic, that was the first time in MLB history that any team has struck out 20 times on opening day.

Perhaps ST favorite Matt Shaw is available now? 🤣 He played RF for the Cubs today but that’s because Suzuki is out with his knee injury.

20 strikeouts by the Sox lineup, an opening day MLB record. Yet another feather in Getz’s cap.
