“Did you guys hear that my new client just pitched an immaculate inning today?”- AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
Very strange. My guess is that he doesn’t have as much confidence in his breaking balls as he does in his fastball, but the guy routinely overthrows his fastball anyways or grooves one right down the middle of the plate. May as well try to mix it up.- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
Ozzie loves Turp.- AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
You mean piping non-stop fastballs that are either way high and outside or are right over the cock of the plate isn’t a good pitching strategy against major league hitters?- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
Damn, I was really expecting Sosa-Benintendi-DeJong to come through there…- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
Oh, Eloy…- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
He was good in June. Bad in his last two outings and the rest of the season. If you think pitchers with a 5.25 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP are good, the more power to you. Another feather in Getz’s cap. ?- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
That’s actually impressive. Record is usually an overrated stat for most pitchers but in Soroka’s case, it perfectly matches up with his performance.- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
Buxton is awesome. How often does he turn a single into a double, especially against the Sox?- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
I bet you could still beat him to first base though.- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
And you frame just about every move Getz makes as a positive, which is even more insincere. I remember you talking about how Brad Keller was a good pickup. Give it up already.- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
Yep. And if the Sox had any sort of average offense, those 2 runs wouldn’t be the end of the world.- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
Schriffen still talking about how gingerly Eloy is running to first base. Get rid of this walking injury.- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
He doesn’t have to be perfect but he really has to limit those terrible meatballs that end up right in the hitter’s wheelhouse.- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
Yikes. Those were uh some spicy uh meatballs…- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
It’s a message board about the Sox. WE calls me a moron and I don’t care. Personally, I think Getz is a terrible GM and while WE may fluff up bums like Sheets and Julks, I think they will be out of baseball in a couple years. You also seem to get upset that not everyone thinks that Getz is doing a good job and you make excuses for him. Reinsdorf specifically chose him because he said he wouldn’t need a full season to assess the team. Obviously that was a load of BS but Getz has made some weird and stupid decisions that to me, outweigh his good ones.- GMs skeptical teams meet price for Robert
He needs to do more than that. Let’s see a .280/.900 line with 20 homers by the deadline and he’ll be moved.- Schriffen’s “La Pantera RAWR!” Call
At least “YEAH BUDDY!” lives another day.- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
Creepy vibes…- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
I don’t agree with simply calling up everyone. Getz did it with Ramos and obviously he wasn’t ready. At some point it will have to happen though. There is zero point in continuing to play Mendick for example. But my point was that you try to polish every turd that Getz serves up to us as having some redeeming quality, when that is rarely the case. Sheets has little to no value and Julks is a fourth outfielder at best. No one even wants Zavala.- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
YEAHHH BUDDY!!!- How much is a guy like Fedde worth in a trade?
I’d probably do it, haha. At least we would finally have one superstar player that we either keep missing out on or that is always injured (see Tatis Jr., Harper, Robert).- AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
YEAHHH, BUDDY!- 7/10 Campfire Milkshakes vs. Twinkies Straight DH 1:10PM CT
No one would argue Crochet being undeserving of the All-Star team, but nice hyperbole. Aren’t you the same poster that was touting the great development of Sheets and was also slotting in Julks as a starting corner outfielder next year because of a couple hot streaks just a few weeks ago? Maybe the Sox can also reacquire one of their most amazing developed players — Seby Zavala. The Mariners have DFA him twice in the past few weeks and he accepted both outrights to the minors because he is such a valuable and desirable player. - Kopech hires Boras
