Or this is just a nice excuse to defend yet another horrible Getz trade. Fedde finished with a 5.6 WAR last season. Get out of here with this garbage.

The White Sox way… always amateur hour in everything they do.

Agreed, and he has failed as miserably as Jerry.

Can’t argue with you about Painter. Not so sure about Caba. He’s still super young and it was only a very small sample size but he struggled moving to Single A and also appears to have Madrigal power. I don’t think you can have Caba as the top position prospect you get back for Crochet. The lineup is pretty much devoid of any talent, and definitely of star players. I think I’d rather see Getz go after more developed position prospects around the age of 21 or so. He really cannot f*** this up, or else there is no hope for a decent Sox lineup for years.

It’s like listening to Bruce LeVineLine on the radio. You can always tell when he has to give White Sox news, he’s just waiting and itching to talk Cubs instead.

Based on the CHSN website, they apparently don’t even know which cities they are broadcasting to so I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

Yeah, it sucks. Painter would be awesome but our lineup is absolutely putrid with not a ton of help coming (Quero and Montgomery). But the Alec Bohm suggestion by Rogers is so stupid. If Getz wants a Boras client with 2 years of control left, we are in trouble.

I have a technical background so it isn’t an issue for me, but I do understand it’s way more annoying for many Sox fans now, when NBC Sports Chicago was simply included in cable packages and easily accessible.

It’s nice for people that actually live in Chicagoland because it’s free (or price of an antenna). But that’s about it. But if you are tech savvy enough, you can watch every game for free anyways. Or pay for MLB.TV (free with T-Mobile) and get around blackouts with VPN.

The Sox do seem to have confidence in drafting big tall hard-throwing lefty starters. I’m not arguing against the Hagen Smith pick but in a draft in which almost everyone thought they should be taking a bat because the Sox lineup is devoid of talent, they went to their bread and butter instead. It almost seems like they have no confidence in which bat to take when it’s not a consensus/obvious pick that is available at their spot. And when you look back at the bats they have taken in the first round (Collins, Madrigal, Vaughn, and Gonzalez versus Burger and Montgomery), we should probably hope they keep taking lefty starters instead.

@Kyyle23 already covered this above.

Thanks! Just found a new one on eBay for $15 shipped. Been having issues getting a solid antenna connection from the TV in my living room. The signals on some channels cut out periodically so the sound cuts out as well. Very annoying. Hopefully this does a better job than the cheap small flat plastic square antenna I am currently using.

Agreed, these knuckleheads clowning each other are entertaining to watch even when the Sox suck.

I doubt the Orioles will even make an offer for Crochet worth considering.

He did? Or is this sarcasm?

It’s funny this even evokes a thread, considering we all know the Sox will never be the team that signs him.

Campbell as a centerpiece of a Crochet trade would be so familiar and a Getz-like move. If Campbell fails to hit in the majors, he could become our Vargas Part II that can’t hit or play defense.

Coaching and the OL is the ultimate problem but yikes, give me Saquon Barkley over D’Andre Swift and Nate Davis. Guess who cost more? Gotta love the “THANK YOU GIANTS!!!” chant by the Eagles fans as Barkley is being interviewed in the postgame show. Poles needs to be on the hot seat at this point. He recognizes star players about as well as Getz. Keeping Eberloser around for another year and hiring Waldron should only give him one more season to prove himself as GM. And Kevin Warren has done absolutely nothing. Poles worried more about adding a ton of offensive weapons (Keenan Allen and Swift, LOL), while thinking a piece of garbage makeshift OL could protect long enough for a rookie QB to sling it around. Poles is a dipshit just like the rest of them. He would have been better off acquiring as much OL as he could and played Roschon and Herbert at RB and less Allen at WR.

Can you provide a link? I usually buy the cheapo plastic flat square antennas when they are $5 bucks online.

Someone has to milk a Chicago sports media job. It may as well be a boring old fogey. He thought about asking hard-hitting questions back in his 30’s, but then decided it would be a better idea to milk an easy career into his 70’s.

Agreed, AJ’s beard is pretty gross if you watch him on Foul Territory.

The point remains. The Dodgers still know better than the Sox which players to throw in a trade that they won’t miss. Meanwhile, the Sox thought they were striking gold with these guys, just like Jake Eder from the Marlins. The Sox thought they acquired two rotation starters, a closer, and a big bat in these trades. 🤣

I say no to that garbage as well. Lux makes absolutely zero sense for the Sox being a mediocre 2B with only 2 years of control left before he hits free agency, all while the Sox are pretty much guaranteed to suck. Which is probably why our awful GM will trade for him — because it makes no sense.

Yep, the Dodgers know exactly who to dump… Vargas Nastrini Leasure

Bwahahaha, you’re right. I literally copied and pasted those two Iowa channels straight from their website two hours ago when I responded to your post and now both Iowa channels are instead listed as “Coming Soon”. https://chsn.com/info/ How in the hell do you f*** that up? This is truly a shitshow. 🤣
