White Sox broadcast rated dead last
For whatever reason Schriff does not bother me one bit, like water on a duck's back. If I was driving a car on a 3-hour trip with him in the back seat nonstop talking, I could take it. 30 seconds of Dan Berstein and I would pull the car over and toss him out

White Sox select Hagen Smith, 2 preps on day 1
Not much love for Caleb Bonemer on the board. Shirley was raving about him, James Fox also liked the pick. Power, can run, bat speed, big strong kid,

Soroka exits game early, sore shoulder
During spring training, I thought Soroka was going to have a bounce back year. I am still glad to see Bummer gone.

Grifol on first half...
How about he fakes an injury and gets a medical procedure that takes him out until he qualifies for the extra million? It's a win win for everyone.

Moncada might play again. Nobody cares
Moncada can be bought out for $5 million after the 2024 season, adios. I believe Eloy is $3 million to buy out, adios Stuck with Benny and after this season another $49.3 million until the end of 2027. Between the 3 the Sox are getting no production

Sox Draft Story...
I totally understand why not to draft a first baseman, guys like James Fox makes excellent points why not to. If Jac Caglianone falls to the Sox at 5 and they can get him at a decent price I would have no problem seeing the Sox select him. It would be nice to see a legit power bat that other teams would fear. Plus, if they pitch him now and then he will be a Sox cult legend. Sox Power Outage: Vaughn, Eloy, Moncada.

Me too Lip, dang arm injuries.

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
Flecther has hit everywhere he has been until 2024 and entering the Sox system. I would like to think if he can get healthy his bat will come back.

Schriffen’s “La Pantera RAWR!” Call
I will encourage Schriff to keep up the growls and anything else he can come up with. It doesn't bother me in the least, the comments in the thread are comedy gold, I love it.

Wilson down, Leasure back
Good to see Leasure back with the club, plenty of upside. I don't understand sending Wilson down unless more moves are coming.

Robert "Top Priority" for Philly
I would think Crochet keeping Ohtani hitless in the 5 ab's with 4 k's might make a GM take notice. Very small sample size but Garret has had success against one of the best hitters in MLB.

Path to .500 in 2025
I can't blame Sox fans for venting but trolls aside anyone on the board is a true-blue fan.

Dombrowski has the track record of making blockbuster trades.

Path to .500 in 2025
I really enjoy watching Thorpe and Cannon impress. Sosa has been much better the last month or so, he has my attention. Plus he is hitting .667 against the Cubs

Path to .500 in 2025
Does anyone know if the Sox have a closer they are grooming in the minors? Is Leasure a viable option? That position needs to be addressed for 2025
