Greg must be a millionaire with the number of houses he has lost by now.

That 3-game outburst was nice while it lasted.

South Side Stay Seated.

Wild pitch offense to tie it?

Do something, Gross Man.

Pham just gave everyone a premature tease.

Playing a proven bad 32 year old vet over a 26 year old that is running out of time to prove himself in the majors. Meanwhile, he has called up numerous young pitchers whom one could argue weren’t ready. Getz is really terrible at this roster management stuff. Is there any rhyme or reason to his madness or is he just throwing darts at pictures of these players taped to the wall of his office?

He is. He might like his dogs more than people.

He’s pretty bad. Doesn’t walk (3), strikes out a bunch (29), and occasionally hits a random home run but not enough of them (3). It’s pretty amazing he continues to be employed.

I think Schriffen is definitely playing up the third bullet to get Stone to talk, but Stone is an old curmudgeon and doesn’t want to be prompted to respond unless he’s good and ready to. ?

It’s very strange. Stone talks up all of his partners on Twitter but seemingly hazes and trolls them during broadcasts. I know he has a dry sense of humor but he is pretty rough. He acts like he is annoyed by his partner most of the time. Maybe he thinks it’s a funny gimmick? But he has done the same thing with Hawk, Benetti, and now Schriffen.

If only Benetti would have enrolled in those Victorian dining etiquette classes as Boyer suggested. He might still be here…

Stone Pony decided to go as silent on the broadcast about the same time as he went silent on Twitter.

Yes, as the new guy he has to be overly rah rah and cheerful, which comes across terribly when the team is having its worst start of all time. He was kind of screwed either way.

Schriffen seems like too nice of a guy to be doing this. I think he’s just doing his evil lord’s bidding.

I never jumped on anybody. I said that since Fedde has never had this type of success before in the majors, I don’t believe teams will value him as highly as guys like Giolito and Lynn last year who have had success in the past, even though they were having mediocre years. Draft status doesn’t mean much if a first round pick never has any success in the majors. Carson Fulmer was a former #8 overall pick and he became a DFA / waiver claim candidate thats bounced from team to team. I hope Fedde keeps it up and Getz is smart enough to trade him for the best offer available. But also keep in mind that everyone was calling Crochet an ace after 3 starts. Crochet’s numbers are still very good if you take a deeper look but it sure didn’t look like he was ever going to struggle. Fedde will likely have to keep this up until closer to the trade deadline. I just hope some team comes calling more quickly while he’s at his peak trade value.

Good point, haha. I’ll retract my statement. It was the best draft in “recent history”. They may have filled three positions (QB, WR, and P) for the next decade and also added two players at their remaining positions of need to develop.

Have a nice life, bro.

He won’t be one of the top starters available at the trade deadline because he doesn’t have name recognition and he hasn’t done this before. I doubt other teams will even view him as highly as Giolito and Lynn of last year. But if you can get a return for Fedde like those two brought back, you have to jump on it.

“Kevin Pillar has elected free agency. The 35-year-old outfielder had been designated for assignment by the White Sox on Friday. He passed through waivers unclaimed, but rather than accepting his outright assignment to Triple-A Charlotte, he opted to peddle his wares on the free agent market. It wouldn’t be terribly surprising to see him wind up back with the Braves on a minor league pact.“

Great post, and agreed. Sell him high before he turns into a pumpkin. He doesn’t do much for this team the next two seasons anyways.

I wouldn’t be surprised if things change again. But Flexen won’t be returning anything. His peripherals are terrible. Too many walks and he doesn’t strike anyone out.

Orgasm on live TV.

Too early to talk contract extension with Grifol?

Schriffen leading the charge too. He must’ve received these marching orders from JR who loves blaming Sox fans for everything including his incompetence at running the team.
