MLB considering 6IP minimum for starters
MLB should allow the Sox games to go 6 innings instead of 9.

ESPN Midseason report
Colson isn't putting up the numbers at AAA and is striking out a ton.

Fire Chris Getz
This White Sox season would qualify for an "8th Plague" in the Book of Revelation.

Robert
MLB can humble the greatest ball players; Robert is getting a taste of it.

Beckham hints Pedro too overbearing
I don't know about the players are being lazy, the exception is if you hear they are not putting in the work at rehab with the trainers. Hiring Pedro was a mistake from the get-go and it proved out in the end. Seeing Grady at the helm I believe that he has the players best interest at heart and they are buying in.

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
I am loving it, Crochet and Robert kicking butt and taking names again.

Sox planning more playing time for Vargas/Fletcher
I have a glimmer of hope for some development with Grady even if he's in place just for the rest of the season. As a fan my heart is pulling for Sizemore to get the manager's job in 2025, but we have been down this road before. An experienced manager is what is needed for this train wreck of a franchise, but if they are considering hiring a stiff, I would advocate for keeping Grady.

MLB considering 6IP minimum for starters
That was the first thing I thought when I heard of this. I would rather see MLB play around setting up a rule where pitchers are designated as either starters or relievers, so the "bullpen" start is eliminated.

Jake Burger trade
Agree 100%
-
Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox
With the Marlins making changes in the Front Office / Scouting, could the Sox pick up some Scouting help? Marlins make 'stunning' changes, firing multiple front office execs and scouts | Sporting News

Jake Burger trade
Every time Burger gets a hit my brother-in-law informs me, Jake was one of his favs.

Kopech w/LA 5 games, 5 IP, 8 Ks, no walks. ERA 0.00, 1-0.

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
11 walks, 2 errors, 2 men thrown out at home plate against the 2nd highest run scoring team in MLB. 18 hits and 12 runs can cover up some bad baseball, woohoo !!

Compiled list of Chris Getz GM failures
Going forward I don't have confidence in Getz to turn this historic dumpster fire around. I will give him credit for signing Fedde, finding players at garage sale level is where this franchise is at.
-
Benintendi
I think Benny is going to get packaged with Crochet in a trade this offseason, Getz will get jack in return.

The Sox aren't spending "right now"
I have heard her name mentioned, she's got money, is a Sox fan, and loves Chicago
-
The Sox aren't spending "right now"
I would love to see the name get leaked out and give Sox fans hope.
-
The Sox aren't spending "right now"
Draft well, develop talent, make wise trades requires BAU money. I always enjoy Todd Welter's and his guest's on Locked on White Sox, Interesting comments by Sean Anderson around the 30:50 mark about possible new owner already in place.

Crochet cites “mechanical issue” for poor outings
All I want is Crochet to be 100% healthy going into the spring.
-
Getz interview...
I have read Lip for a long time on numerous White Sox message boards. I would suggest anyone to read some of his interviews, I find them very entertaining.
-
Sox "considering Colson"
I am with you on the youngsters but only if they are ready. Why doesn't he at least bring up some of the young pitching? Getz will give Vargas a long look because he traded for him.
-
Robert
How about Robert hits a walk off tonight to get the old juices going.
-
Stone not sure he will be back in 25, season "wearing on him"
I have always enjoyed Stone and fully understand his angst having to watch this crap firsthand. If JR was paying me to watch, I would hire Scot Boras so I could at least get well compensated. I am on the Gordo train if Steve does pull the plug, Beckham YES !! I will not be buying the new tv package the Sox/Bulls/Hawks will be rolling out at the end of this year. In the spring if the Sox make legit changes to this squad I will reconsider.
-
Robert
I went back and edited my post from Thursday. I removed the part that I said it appears that Robert has checked out. To be fair I do not have clue what he is thinking. He is in a major slump, and it looks bad but he is an elite ballplayer.
-
Pedro Grifol, Charlie Montoyo, Eddie Rodriguez, & Mike Tosar Fired (Grady Sizemore interim manager)
I wouldn't be surprised if some posters could get in on an entry level position with an MLB team's Analytics Department. The White Sox could sure use some help in the analytics part of scouting.
