Ok that was awful Yoan. It’s the playoffs…run.

This is just a better team they are playing too…they came to play.

He felt like the fans here who panicked and thought Sox needed to make a massive move so he was like oh let me give up all these peeps to get a closer cause it’s all I got. Was totally unnecessary. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t have made any trade other than what they had already done at that point so people would be ripping me for other reasons but I would be like it’s all good cause I got money and flexibility to go after someone else in off-season.

100 percent.

That is why you don’t trade big chips for a closer when you already have a closer. Uggh.

And there is why I am not pulling Adam Engel in a scoreless game. Said it earlier. That is an out. All little things done wrong by White Sox.

Alright Kimbrel...hold the line and let the Sox bats get some runs.

I would not be shocked (regardless of outcome of this playoffs) that LaRussa is done after this year (win or lose).

This team needs Ventura. He actually positioned pretty well from what i remember. But yes - this is glaring and the club is getting crushed by the little things which go pretty significantly in the analytics.

Alright - time for some luck to go the Sox way. DP time and than lets put a crooked # up on the board.

Bat Flip Time!!! Lets go Yaz!!!

Walks by our pitching staff, minimal hitting with RISP, and poor defense...story of this series for the Sox. But just finish this strong and get the win and it is all forgotten and get back to Chicago with the series split!!! Lets GO WHITE SOX!!!!

He ripped the ball to 3rd in one of his at bats and was just a hang with em + great defensive play by Bregman too. Lets be honest - Astros defense and advanced analytics have been a major difference in this series. Sox are up a few more runs today with better positioning on D combined with Astros D not being perfect. Yesterday's game is a lot tighter if the D played cleaner.

Can I ask a stupid question. Baseball got rid of the neighborhood play..right? Cause I swear on Grandals double play Correa was not just physically on 2nd base when he caught the ball to turn the dp.

Let's Go!!!!

They need a special teams player I just don’t see need to use draft capital for it. This team isn’t going anywhere super far at this point.

Huh?

Defense played well and offense was better. Fields still was a tad slow on decision making at times - but also threw some dimes and had some special plays. Nice to see the Mooney I expect all year and Robinson showed up finally later on as well. Hopefully Montgomery injury not a tear. But nice bounce back performance and nice to see how Fields responded to that kind of adversity after his first start.

So last week I expected Fields to suck. This week I expect he will still kill some drives and take needless sacks and make some mistakes…but I also expect to see some wow plays too.

It’s back to don’t force them into bad habits…put them in a spot that they are ready to learn and grow.

I agree -> they will find money but I also suspect they'll get some sweet heart deals to from Arlington, etc. And i expect them to move but I also wouldn't be shocked if a last ditch major effort came out of nowhere either.

Rams did have cash -> but I think people underestimate what Arlington will do for Bears too. If not -> than this is just a negotiation tactic and we'll figure that out in another year or as some have said Bears are positioning for a sale but I kind of expect we'll see public funding / special treatment at Arlington.

I expect Bears, if serious, would put pedal to mettle and be in a position to where they are breaking ground a year from now to be in a position to be in the new stadium the very first year they can opt out of the lease. $85M or whatever it is is rounding relative to the Billions the stadium will cost.

I have long said cable is still better and things would shift back that way. That said my direct tv stream (previously att stream) works good with my bundle discounts and my taxes and fees are way less than when I had regular cable despite my user experience being exact same. With bundle discount basically same as before other than I can use device in two places which had helped reduce some costs for my mom but have easy access to my limited dvr etc. No contract so could always switch if they back up prices etc.

Thus far -> total F. The highest profile move they made was for an expensive, elite reliever and they paid a premium price. The player has an ERA over 5...yes he could be dynamic in the playoffs and that would change the grade but as of today...nothing short of an F. The Hernandez move, one I liked at the time, has had its challenges too, with the best move thus far really having been the Tepera move. But no other way of saying that the moves were a total F.
