I would give Stone Pony a lower score just because he has become a cranky old curmudgeon and he seems to want to troll his partner more than do his job. I realize that’s part of his schtick but it’s lame at this point.

I don’t know what other people think and I have never been a big Len Kasper fan because I think his voice sounds too much like Kermit the Frog but he is better than Schriffen. It also seems like The Legend actually respects him more than Schriffen. Stone actually responds to Kasper quickly and they just sound better as a tandem together.

36 walks in 35.2 innings pitched. No more trades with LAD plz…

I think they are just intentionally trying to hide part of our embarrassing lineup from sight.

My favorite Getz quote from the video shared above… “My favorite memory is making the decision to have Garrett Crochet be a starter this year and then naming him the opening day starter.”

I thought Getz was going to reference the Bleacher Report farm system ranking from April (had Sox at #3 in MLB) again when he talked about how their farm system is “rising in the public rankings”. 🤣

Thanks for sharing, @Rusty! All good questions. I’ve been trained in Agile methodology for my job and I don’t just spout off about our department’s “process, process, process…” Agile isn’t supposed to be a process, it’s supposed to be a mindset on how you function as an individual and as a team to get s%*# done. I did love Getz’s immediate diversion from the tough and obvious questions by talking about Hagen Smith and Crochet, the two rare bright spots on a team full of garbage. Getz also said they aren’t actively shopping Crochet. Bwahahahahahahaaa.

Nope. The Sox will then pivot and say that they loved what they saw from Sizemore working with the young players, and that Grady convinced them to hire him full-time. 🤣

Yep, this article discusses that… “Michael Kopech has an elite fastball; his Dodgers success comes from throwing it less“

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens once Schumaker turns the Sox down.

He did have like 5.1 scoreless innings pitched with the Sox, right before he was traded. I don’t know if that means the Sox “fixed” Kopech or not but that’s what happened. Supposedly, it’s one of the reasons the Dodgers acquired him.

Definitely. He knows he’s never getting another GM job again so he has to make the most of this.

Exactly. HE is the one who had a garbage offseason. HE is the one who traded for Fletcher. HE is the one who had a garbage trade deadline which brought back Vargas. Did he even acquire one fixture in the lineup for the future? He acquired two bums to be starters that are basically bench players.

Hope that all of their young players pan out, dumpster dive to fill in their holes with vets that are near or past retirement, and pray for no injuries. This is White Sox baseball.

I love when it looks like he is swinging after the ball is already in the catcher’s mitt. The Sox should tell Vargas to employ the same strategy that he did with the Dodgers a year ago when he fractured his pinky finger. The Dodgers coaching staff told him to go up to the plate and never swing. He’d be more productive that way. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/miguel-vargas-is-making-waves-by-standing-still/

Walkstrini. Please, no more trades with the Dodgers. The Sox get the shaft everytime.

I thought the trade was basically Fedde and Pham for Edman, who was the flipped to the Dodgers with Kopech for Vargas and the two infielder prospects (Perez and Albertus).

He probably planned it in the mirror and thought it was really witty.

This absolute gas can and a reliever prospect is what we have to show for the Bummer trade.

That’s confidence!

You will be told by two posters that you are stupid for listening to anything that the owner or new GM said in those press conferences. Which is funny because that means the owner and GM failed miserably this season, were full of s%*#, or are liars. I think it is all three.

Ozzie telling Chuck to shove it and that Ramos should be starting at 3B over Vargas who sucks with the glove.

Nice quote, clown. Great job on your offseason and the trade deadline. Where is that improved defense and leadership? Oops…
