Falstaff

Why doesn't every player on the team have a 2-strike approach instead of swing from their heels?

Just thinking about some of the base clogging Sox teams in the past that would take 3 hits to get a runner home from 1st base.

A King, Burke, Detmers trio is pretty solid. Could Billy Carlson, Kay, and Schultz get Detmers?

Most teams would be happy to have these numbers

The Sox had the least DPs in all of MLB with 73 The last 3 games were terrible, but the season had some solid numbers. AL: Sox #1 in runs, this is the most important stat. Sox #1 in base on balls Sox #1 hit by pitch Sox#2 OBP Sox#3 HR Sox#3 strike out Sox#30 (in MLB) ground into least DP

Jim Callis is saying Bonemer could be starting for the Sox in the OF in 2027 by mid-season, interesting.

I want to see the Rays & Brewers in the WS.

Jose Abreu was a stud.

The 2025 version of Colson would be pretty good. I don't want to sell low on a 30+ home run hitting SS without trying some adjustments first.

I want Sam leading off every game even against LHP. Sam will find a way to impact a game. Vargas is on the verge of super star and Meidroth is already super good. Braden either figures out how to hit LHP or he needs to be platooned. Teel as the main catcher will increase the production from the catcher position. Mune is going to walk, strike out and homer. Colson will most likely be the starting SS out of ST. I think he will be on a short leash if he bats like he did the last 2 months of this season. Peters is another one that you don't know what you are going to get with the bat. Doyle as the 4th outfielder is pretty good with his lock down glove. Depending on his playing time I would like to see his power numbers go up. DH --- Does Grich come back? Benny has 1 year left and had decent production for his ab total but I wonder if he can do it again. UT - Yet to be determined

I am on board the Fedde train, bring him back.

I am curious what Getz says at the presser, if he will even address coaches.

That is the last thing I want, this thread is my fav.

His April, May, and June starts had me going, that's why I was thinking injury. I think your take is more accurate.

The youngsters showed real promise. What do you think the reason is Davis Martin fell off the face of the earth? Do you think he is injured?

Chicago set record for tourist spending in 2025, Choose Chicago tourism bureau says - CBS Chicago 56.8 million visitors in 2025. The world likes us, they really, really like us.

This thread should be required reading after the loss tonight. It will put a smile on your face.

They won 88 games; they far exceeded my expectations. This team is one of the most likable Sox team I have ever seen.

It was a hell of a season; most fun I have had cheering for the Sox in a while.

I suggest an optometrist.

You are correct sir, excellent point about the core and potential starters.

I started the season in the car with Len & DJ on the radio and ended the season in the car with Len & DJ on the radio. This season has been a great ride. The game threads have been a blast and I am looking forward to them next season. Shout out to the Mods for handling this zoo, much appreciated

Losing the 78 to Joe Mansueto was a kick to the groin. How much say do you think Ishbia had in the matter? If Justin could have got the 78 and continue to develop the rail yard it would have been the best of both worlds.

I would have been happy with Schriff doing the ALDS, Alex Faust doesn't do it for me.

It appears that the "Fire Getz" position is he should have never been hired in the first place and nothing else matters.
