Falstaff

Looking at the splits, Chase rakes against LP and Sam kills it against RP. Platooning and coming off the bench during the game is an option.

Out of curiosity I just did a google search on Indian population in Chicagoland area and it is over 235,000 thousand. Making the Chicagoland area the 2nd largest Indian population in the country. Cricket is going to keep growing locally and more leagues will start up.

In with the new out with the old. As Boomers and Gen X age out the generations that grew up with soccer will continue to grow the sport.

My brother-in-law is a lifelong Sox fan and also Polish, he has also been joking about Roch owning this town. I just love the fact that Roch is an elite fielder on top of having a lethal bat. Whoever the Sox do end up drafting has to be elite with the glove in my opinion. I like what I am seeing so far with the Sox defense and want to keep it going.

I am old and useless, but I think the non-Boomers posting would tend to be soccer fans. Growing up I had absolutely no knowledge of soccer at all. We played sandlot baseball games all day until dinner time in the summer, football in the fall, hockey in the winter. If soccer was thing in my youth, we probably would have played pick-up games, we had tons of kids in the neighborhood.

For the first time I have seen Cricket being played while driving past a park in Schaumburg. There is a couple billion people in the world that are Cricket fans.

It's nice to have Sam at the ready for whatever happens.

With Adams coming off TJ in April 2025 is a call up in the works or will he be strictly rehabbing for 2026? The rehab is looking very encouraging so far.

Miguel Vargus August of 2024 / Miguel Vargus June of 2026. I would say the 2026 version is all onboard with the White Sox.

I agree with on the minors and the also the absolute epic Dave Wilder international failure.

I believe Grichuk did rave about coming to the Southside. I get the whole pump the brakes, but I just sat through 3 years of misery and I am optimistic. The press is always going to build you up and then tear you down, that what they do.

I can remember Lance Lynn and Kenyan Middelton going public about how bad the Sox clubhouse was. The 2026 White Sox are light years away from the Sox teams Lynn & Middleton were on as far as the clubhouse goes. Veteran players acquired this season have stated how awesome the environment is. I think Will Venable is a major reason for the clubhouse change; he sets the tone. As far as players wanting to play for the Sox, I think the path from the minors is wide open for opportunity to advance. Getz has to be given credit for recognizing the negative clubhouse environment and making changes. I don't have a clue about the video room, I hope Getz can be advised of this type of information and make improvements. I believe they installed a high-tech batting machine the players can use during the game. Someone might have more details on this. I think most of the problems with the Sox was the years and years and years of Kenny Williams. And then add Hawk in Jerry's ear and it was like an organization stuck in the 70's.

Let that sink in, amazing

When Mune comes back I would think Vargas will be at 3rd most of the time with Benny/Grichuk at DH. Acuna will probably get an occasional spot start at SS now and then. Over the years defense has been nerve racking as a fan. At the Metrodome I feared the ball hit to Jose Valentin would cost the Sox the ballgame. Now the Sox are solid up the middle and it is a team strength.

I loved the defense, Colson makes it look so routine, what a stud. Vargas at first was picking it, and Romo throwing out a runner was the cherry on top.

Grichuk and Newcomb have been excellent additions to the club.

The Indiana slag heap is a distant memory hopefully.

I agree, it was openly discussed.

Pitching & Defense winner last night. 14-8 in the division 16-8 in 1 run games 26-12 at home with a .684 winning percentage.

Codi Heuer was looking good in 2020 and was so so with the Cubs in 2021 but then he got hurt. He is currently on Cleveland's 40 man and was on the active roster earlier this month. Craig Kimbrel was lights out with the Cubs but was an epic failure on the Southside.

Sam has attitude/personality/grit/determination/toughness/teamwork he wears his emotions on his sleeve. He is a grinder not a dude wearing a suit in a boardroom.

I think Taylor will be fine in the closer role, Newcomb, and Hudson have been solid, but the Sox need 1 more pitcher that can be used in a hold situation. Dominguez and Hicks should be limited to mop up roles.

The Sunday game in Detroit was a kick to the groin.

If you look at Acuna's splits for the last 7, 14, 28 days he has really turned it around at the plate. As the season continues, he can be a very valuable spot starter, pinch hitter/runner, late inning replacement. and possible trade piece.

18 days, LET'S GO
