You can't argue with the results,
-
DeJong and Lee go yard, Fedde throws 7 2/3 , BP doesn't blow it
-
This is like buying a Yugo to be your back car when your Fiat is in the shop.
-
The simple solution is Pedro mandates that all starting pitchers throw complete games shutouts, bullpen problem solved
-
With Willie in center and Clemente in right your outfield defense would be rock solid. Me, I have either Mays, Mantle or DiMaggio in center and Babe in right.
-
Can't argue with that, Willie had it all along with good health . Willie had 660 homers, he might have passed the Babe if he didn't have military service and Candlestick Park. Hank Aaron was never in the military, which Willie teased Aaron about when both of them were in a studio interview.

you nailed it, Thorpe has to have his pin point control to be effective,

My best friend's dad knew Jack Brickhouse and he would get free tickets and take us to Cub games. My buddy was on the field before the game and got his photo taken with Fergie Jenkins, Billy Williams and Ron Santo. His dad had a steady gig for years as a musician and worked nights. He would take me along and we went to tons of games. Willie Mays was my buddies dad favorite. My buddy had a signed baseball with Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Fergie Jenkins, Billy Williams, Ron Santo, Glenn Beckert. We used the ball to play baseball , the ball got beat up pretty good.

That might have jump started him and then went down to Charlotte with positive vibes. Cannon has six pitches four seamer, sinker, cutter, changeup, curve, slider. I really like his upside; he has all the tools, and nobody will out work him.

Comiskey Park, White Sox Park, Sox Park, The Cell, Guaranteed Rate, and now The Rate. As long as it isn't called jerry Reinsdorf Park

Pedro's peers in history : Scout for General Custer Iceberg spotter on the Titanic 3 Mile Island Coolant Engineer

If Clev is healthy he can deal
-
I don't dislike Eloy or Moncada but I agree the Sox should cut bait. Eat the $5 million buyout on Moncada , try and trade Eloy in the off season.
-
If the Sox can get a HAUL for Fedde in the trade deadline I would move him, otherwise keep him and see how the young guns like Cannon and Thorpe pitch the rest of the season. I would have no problem keeping Fedde, Robert jr, and Crochet and adding bats through free agent & trades in the off season. A couple of 2025 projections: catching: Lee & Quero 2nd base: Sosa, did he turn the corner? in the last 28 game he is hitting .348/.400/ .944

I am right there with you , Jose will always be a fav. I remember a few years back Jose was in the dugout and the Sox had a long inning. Abreu had either Yermin or Yomer in a bear hug pinned against the dugout railing. It was hilarious , Abreu kept the bear hug on the whole 1/2 inning , lol

Dec 6, 2016 Chris Sale to Boston for Victor Diaz, Luis Basabe, Kopech, and Moncada. I can still remember Peter Gammons going on and on how good Kopech and Moncada would be.
-
Something doesn't add up why Lee isn't getting more playing time.
-
-
Thorpe was all around impressive, he has the goods
-
Steve Wilson should help out once he gets back from rehab. He isn't elite but he is at least competent. More pitching call ups please !!!!
-
credentials: I am just a lifetime fan of the White Sox. I get most of my info from tuned in fans on this site along with a couple other podcasts. I also could be off base on the current White Sox team having a toxic clubhouse. For the 2024 season your mention of this is the first I have heard of it. Not his exact words but Chuck Garfein mentioned on I believe Monday pregame that the Sox clubhouse is great, but the fans want wins to go along with it.
-
LOL , The Athletic doesn't even have a writer assigned to them, James Fegan , he gone. There is a difference between being in a losing environment and a toxic clubhouse
-
I have not heard of any locker room issues , Crochet, Nastrini and Cannon were very complimentary of Clevenger and other vets
